Only Apple customers would pay thousands of dollars for their kit, and get a web browser that's still based in the early 2000s

You are viewing that data somewhere, either a website or an app on your phone or both. Ofcourse if you are doing a bunch of calculations on the client your PC will be faster. That has little to nothing to do with the tiny difference in internet speed/reliability (especially if we are talking minute based data).

If the above site is slow/crashes, its shoddy code work. They are doing way too many calculations on the frontend instead of on the server, or they are sending way too many requests (like many requests each second).

Not even really talking about websites, talking about data that needs to be constantly refreshed. The moisture sensor in my yard isn't running off a website but it still runs smoother on a PC vs. my phone/android interface.

You sure you know enough about what I'm talking about?

We barely learned from lawn darts, what do you expect?

IoT is my job. We deal with millions of devices that send data over the air. If our websites didnt work on a tablet our customers would leave us. You have no idea what you are talking about.

You should be a politician or a goalie with all the goal post moving we're doing.

That's $300... Hardly what I would consider cheap for knowing your hyper local pollution.

Which is funny because my workplace handles a ton of Amazon orders (they’re a client) and none of them are even remotely what I would consider “cost effective”. I would expound but I’m afraid of the all-seeing eyes of Amazon tracking me down. Suffice to say, they throw money away en masse through 75% incompetency and 25% poor money management.

Not talking about crashes, bud. Never have been.

But didn't you hear? If they can't be calibrated and tested they're useless! /s

I don't know where these people with absolutist views come from honestly.

It's like amazing bills and laws being rejected because they don't resolve an issue 100%.

Some, most of it's in my head

I live less than 20 miles downwind from East Palestine. In the immediate aftermath local subs were full of panic posts about "omg death cloud, look at PurpleAir!".

Turns out it just got cold, and people burned wood. Happens frequently with the Cracker Plant as well, people try to correlate PurpleAir with it, it's always wood burners.

You're using the sensors right. It should be more of general guidance, leave the actual testing to scientists. Like, I wouldn't walk into a hazmat scene with my air purifier if it's sensor was green.

Ah, I see. Your servers work so well that you forgot you had them and you're accidentally crediting mobile for their work.

Out of all my devices in the fully connected home, the phone is the least reliable.

Dunno why you champion it, maybe you'll have a better argument for a comparable reliability x speed in a few years but it lacks that right now.

The most confusing part about this conversation is that I'm using a lot of different platforms for programming. There is no contest, mobile still underperforms my other equipment. You'd be aware of its shortcomings too if you did what I did.

Cool, now do water

Smells cheesy.

What? Safari works just fine.

Yeah, they are.

Vinyl chloride has basically permeated the entire town. It will acidify the soil while releasing toxic phosgene and carcinogeninic vinyl compounds as it breaks down for years to come.

I wouldn’t even so much say “lazy” as “underfunded”. Takes money to pay devs, takes money to build servers. More server side operations requires more servers which requires more money. Cheaper to push that to the client.

Plus I get the suspicion that their front end map dashboard is a nice-to-have but the primary use-case is API…especially in mobile. Not knowing anything about this site/app though.

Around $450
