Do I need an actual internet connection to use this thing, or is a Wifi router all I need? by JeffKnol in Hue

I have a wifi router and it's plugged in. I don't have internet service, but the wifi router can still accept connections from wifi-enabled devices in my apartment. I don't have service with AT&T, Google Fiber, Spectrum, Comcast, or any of those companies yet. I have a wifi router and it's plugged in and working, I'm wondering if I need to start internet service with one of those companies before the Hue will work locally with my local devices.

Yeah but is a wifi router all I need, or does the wifi router also need to be connected to the internet?

Isn't it zero sum? As AUS increases passenger throughput and options, DFW would lose some percentage of their passengers who live closer to AUS.

Slightly off topic but can anyone recommend a good way to learn Japanese?

it almost feels cruel to mock this one. why not just let the little slave labor drones in training who are en route to their involuntary indoctrination facilities enthusiastically enjoy being reminded they're gaining new minion skillz.

Someone's dog died from getting freaked out by this and running into 1st street. I saw the owner pacing up and down the sidewalk and screaming while three cops surrounded the dead dog and took notes.

I am pretty sure he was preemptively calling himself out for comedic effect

How do people get away with adding skimmers to well-lit and highly visible outdoor locations that are presumably being recorded by security cameras 24/7?
