Really? Which is X and which is Y in this situation?
I don't take issue with any implication, but find the sentence somewhat unclear because of the phrasing.
Would the sentence have still been true if they had just written 'people'? Wouldn't a lack of access to clean water and other supplies needed for good hygiene increase infections for everyone?
That way, you don't need to connect them to the manufacturer's (probably insecure) cloud.
The problem is that these projects do connect to the manufacturer's cloud.
I agree that the company is handling this the wrong way, but it is possible for 3rd-party code to negatively impact the service for other users. The right way to address any legitimate issues would be to have reasonable rate limits and work with the developer to fix any concerns.
This is also why I believe in choosing devices with local control instead of those which require cloud services. For example, Louis' video mentions air conditioners. Get one that can use a wired thermostat that you control over Z-Wave or ZigBee.
airbags are single-use. [...] If you test it to confirm you lost the air bag
Please try to avoid presenting your hypothesis as fact. If your third sentence was phrased as a question it'd be fine. Currently it's misinformation.
Of course it can be tested without destroying it. The actual air bag component could be disconnected from the rest of the device and the connection point monitored for the appropriate voltage/current required for activation.
If the restaurant doesn't have a good enough reputation that I couldn't trust the QR they provided (which displays the URL so I can inspect it before launching the web browser), I also wouldn't want to trust my health to eating there.
It isn't like some random thing you found on the sidewalk.
Just because people use display names for that doesn't mean display names are a good place to indicate pronouns, and it especially doesn't mean that having a client use usernames is alienating anyone who currently puts non-name data in a name field.
I'd much rather there be a dedicated field where it can be treated with the importance it deserves and not just lumped in with other miscellany as a kludge.
You can sanitize at boiling, and far below that too. For actual sterilization, you'd need to be above boiling using something like an autoclave or pressure cooker.
Some dishwashers do get hot enough, having options specifically for sanitizing during a cycle. It's essentially Pasteurization which factors in not just temperature, but also time. While flash Pasteurization requires high temperature, longer times at lower temperatures can effectively kill harmful microorganisms.

What if you want to listen to your own playlist or podcast, but also wouldn't mind conversing should the opportunity arise?
I don't agree that headphones should automatically include antisocial implications.
Defederation means they consume all of the data from ActivityPub, you consume none of theirs.
It's not that simple.
Their instance will be sent the data only if the post originates on an instance/community that is still federated with their instance. If a new post or comment is made in a community who's instance isn't federated with their instance, it will not be sent via ActivityPub. A more detailed explanation of how that works is in this post.
One way would be by implementing features the Lemmy devs have no interest in such as better interoperability with other fediverse platforms. If any added feature turns out to be well received and in demand, it would pressure the others to implement similar.
