+ | About < a href="https://www.chakrapray.com/ ">chakra store</ a> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | We are a jewelry line inspired by chakra, yoga, nature, and fashion for hip men and women — Our Jewelry are simple but every piece is made with love and care. We only use the best materials of gemstones to create bracelets with intention and meaning. | ||
+ | Chakra Jewelry are designed to balance the seven chakras, which are said to be energy centers used for centuries by Indian and Eastern cultures. They consist of seven stones or charms in different colors or designs, each component representing one of the chakras — Crown, Third Eye, Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral and Root. | ||
+ | The name Chakrapray is a combination of the words chakra and pray. The love of chakras is what compelled us to start this line, while pray refers in part to the malas that we make. Our main purpose of making chakra jewelry is for prayer and meditation. Pray also refers to the positive thoughts and prayers that we have while constructing the jewelry itself—it really is a type of mantra for us. | ||
+ | We sell carefully made, super high quality handcrafted jewelry using natural materials, which is comfortable to wear and perfect for everyday wear at fair prices. We only use fair-trade, cruelty-free materials. | ||
+ | All our creations are designed, developed, and made by hand. We touch every piece to create with an intention of compassion and love. Every item is carefully crafted in our hands before it lands in your hands. | ||
+ | Thank you for reading about us, thank you for your interest in our jewelry, we hope that you find something that you love! | ||

Am I the only one that feels it is "wrong" that the explainxkcd site has ads and the real xkcd doesn't have any? It feels like someone is profiting off of Randall's work. Does he officially endorse this website? Do any proceeds help go to support his ongoing publication of an awesome comic?

I think the current explanation is missing the connection, and the parody of, many "As Seen On TV" commercials selling kitchen products. Many of these commercials show people trying to use common kitchen equipment (pots, pans, can openers, etc) in a way that no normally functioning human would do it (for example, one has a lady draining the liquid from a pot of food into a sink in an extremely awkward manner — one that no normal person who has ever seen a kitchen would do — but then the lid flies one way, food goes another, there's a huge mess, etc; another commercial has someone trying to open a can of food using a can opener '''backwards''', with the woman looking extremely confused looking on how the can opener is supposed to be used or attached to the can [if you told someone act like they are a clueless monkey trying to use a can opener for the first time, that's basically what the commercial had the woman doing — no joke]). These commercials often begin with phrases such as "If you are like me" or "If you are like most home makers" or some other closely related "If you are like..." phrase (thus this comic is directly tieing itself to these commercials using this catch phrase).

A random selection on every page load from a long list of completely absurd reasons would be more the XKCDs way. You could even try to create one or more "''It's because ...''" explanations for every comic and randomly display one out of those. 2206: "''... you don't know how to type capital numbers.''", 2205: "''... you don't assume Pi is one.''", 2204: "''... you didn't give us a moon.''", 2203: "''... there wasn't a really big meteor impact for a while.''" and so on. Pretty straight forward. The more frequent visitors of XKCD would probably even get many of the references and remember the corresponding comic. --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.91.221|162.158.91.221]] 17:39, 24 September 2019 (UTC) | A random selection on every page load from a long list of completely absurd reasons would be more the XKCDs way.

− | + | == WIFI, ZigBee and Bluetooth, which is the best solution for smart home? == | |
− | + | With the progress of science and technology, the smart home has slowly stepped into the home life of ordinary residents, which will certainly be the future development trend of lifestyle. In the current smart home equipment market is rich and colorful, a variety of equipment networking methods are different, in the cost, power consumption, distance and other characteristics also have a variety of different, of course, the different networking methods also directly affect the different ways of control technology. Currently, we are widely known networking methods include wifi, Zigbee and Bluetooth, and so on. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | WiFi networking | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | WiFi technology is currently the fastest transmission speed of wireless technology, in the current life of a high rate of popularity, so currently based on WiFi technology is very suitable for the smart home field. The disadvantages are poor security, weak stability, high power consumption, and limited devices that can be connected, which means that wifi is very limited and restricts the development. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | Zigbee networking | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | About ZigBee this technology is currently more controversial. First, Zigbee technology overview, ZigBee is a close-range, low-complexity, low-power, low-cost two-way wireless communication technology. However, in terms of market penetration, ZigBee is far less popular than Bluetooth and wifi, because of the cumbersome ZigBee protocol and the low transmission rate, so it has not been popular, but its self-organizing characteristics of the network so that it has a place in the market. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | Bluetooth networking | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | Bluetooth (Bluetooth) is a radio technology that supports devices to communicate over short distances. Bluetooth system network to Bluetooth module as a node, without the establishment of a base station can be connected wirelessly, the new version of Bluetooth 5.0 transmission speed of 2Mbps, is the previous version of 4.2LE twice; another important improvement is that its effective distance is the previous version of four times, at the same time, Bluetooth 5.0 also supports indoor positioning navigation function, can be used as indoor navigation beacons or similar positioning devices. It can be said that Bluetooth 5.0 for the Internet of Things a lot of underlying optimization, and strive to lower power consumption and higher performance for the smart home services. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | As we all know, WiFi is characterized by a wide range, fast, but power consumption; as for ZigBee, I believe that many people are the first contact with the name, its strengths are low power consumption, weaknesses are slow, difficult to compatible, and the most deadly point is that the penetration rate of the equipment it carries is extremely low; and Bluetooth (Bluetooth) technology is committed to a specific space so that all devices supporting the technology to establish contact to transmit data, it's very low power consumption, low cost, stable and safe, open interfaces and other features are very consistent with the technical requirements of the Internet of things. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | From the Internet to mobile Internet, to the Internet of Things, people's access to the Internet continues to change, with the smart home as the representative of the Internet of Things from the concept to the product, the market prospects are huge, it will also completely change the traditional Internet era model. In today's world, for smart hardware, mobility, and range problems cause bottlenecks in user experience, speaking with facts, Bluetooth technology is the most suitable solution for the Internet of Things. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | Times are changing, our life also with the development of technology, a radical change, the type and function of the smart home continues to expand, as the connection of smart products Bluetooth technology will bring us a surprise in the future again? Let's wait and see. | |
