The main difference is the additional physical gearing for 4 high and 4 low gears, both of which have different gearing than "regular" drive.

I have an older Audi with a Torsen Quattro AWD system, and an ancient Toyota 4Runner with 4WD. The 4Runner can be switched into either 4 wheel high or 4 wheel low gears to deal with different conditions. The Audi always has the same gearing, it cannot be switched.

It's like the gears on a bicycle - 4 low is the one where you barely move while standing on the pedals - maximum torque per revolution.

You can go rock crawling in a 4Runner in 4 low. You really should not go rock crawling in an Audi or Subaru without 4 low, no matter how much ground clearance the vehicle has.

The National Park Service has this rule because it doesn't want to spent time and taxpayer money rescuing people who think AWD is the same as 4WD with a low range gearbox.

Others have covered the definition of a corn dog.

A "cron dog" however, is when you use cron to schedule a dog command, which is an updated version of the cat command installed via the moreutils package that provides additional features such as colorized output and line numbering, making it more versatile.

THIS HAS BEEN A DUMB LINUX FACT

That would be awesome, but I'm pretty sure the Chief Justice would preside over that trial

You can easily have a smart home without any data leaving your home network.

You need three things:

  • Home Assistant software (free and open source)
  • ZigBee (also free and open source) smart devices made by companies that comply with the ZigBee protocol
  • Most importantly, a ZigBee controller.

There are several options available (Deconz Conbee II, etc), and this device gets plugged into the same machine Home Assistant is on, and it allows HA to control your ZigBee devices directly. No "hub" sending your data to a cloud server, everything is done on your local network. If the devices comply with the protocol, you don't need their hub, even if they say it's required.

I use Hue bulbs, but have no Hue hub. I use many Aqara devices, but don't have an Aqara hub. It's pretty great and works very well!
