"The Measure of a Man" is a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode about the danger of letting AI roam freely and denying responsibility for technology as humans.
In later episodes and movies the laissez-faire AI known as "Data" is responsible for countless murders and attempted murders, torture, injuries, kidnapping, property theft and many other crimes.

Sonos Roam: Bluetooth-Lautsprecher kann am Ladeport schmelzen
Bei einer kleinen Zahl von Sonos-Roam-Lautsprechern der ersten Generation besteht Überhitzungsgefahr, bestätigt Sonos. Ein Rückruf wurde nicht gestartet.

When the law enforcement is corrupt, the criminals roam free and the law is used to pursue people over personal dislikes. We really want the criminals out of law enforcement.
When the #CodeOfConduct enforcement is corrupt, the truly toxic people roam free and the rules are used to bully people over personal dislikes. Why do we applaud projects for adopting a CoC if they are not pursuing independent judgement?

Multiplicity of young isolated planetary mass objects in Taurus and Upper Scorpius
Free-floating planetary mass objects-worlds that roam interstellar space untethered to a parent star-challenge conventional notions of planetary formation and migration, but also of star and brown dwarf formation. We focus on the multiplicity among free-floating planets. By virtue of their low binding energy (compared to other objects formed in these environments), these low-mass substellar binaries represent a most sensitive probe of the mechanisms at play during the star formation process. We…

Surfing the SWAVES: Lifecycle-aware Service Placement in MEC
In Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) networks, users covered by a mobile network can exploit edge clouds (ECs), computational resources located at the network's edge, to execute virtual network functions (VNFs). ECs are particularly useful when deploying VNFs with strict delay and availability requirements. As users roam in the network and get handed over between cells, deployed VNFs must follow users to retain the benefits of edge computing. Yet, having VNFs ready at the closest EC can be chal…

Root/Additional Metric (RoAM) framework: a guide for goal-centred metric construction
The use of metrics underpins the quantification, communication and, ultimately, the functioning of a wide range of disciplines as diverse as labour recruitment, institutional management, economics and science. For application of metrics, customised scores are widely employed to optimise progress monitoring towards a goal, to contribute to decision-making, and to quantify situations under evaluation. However, the development of such metrics in complex and rigorous settings intrinsically relies o…

"One giant leap for bettongs released into sanctuary as wildlife conservancy aims to operate on 5% of Australia"

I'm using two routers at the time. One, provided by the ISP, is on a windowsill in the living room, where the fiber ends. The other is in the corridor, connecting all the devices.
Sometime around the house renovation, Lulu 🐱 started behaving hostile towards Ruh 🐱. So when we moved back in, they divided the house: Ruh would sit in my room, while Lulu would roam the rest of the house. And of course, the windowsill router was one of her favorite places.
Over time, Ruh got bolder and started visiting other rooms. Even though Lulu regularly chased her away, she wasn't successful in keeping her away. So eventually Ruh started visiting the windowsill as well. She apparently wasn't really interested in the router, but her presence sufficed to discouraged Lulu.
So Lulu eventually discovered the other router.
