   This is a good thing! It shouldn't be too easy, just easily possible for someone who knows what they're doing (What we used to call "power users", what happened to those?)

   Many long-term sufferers of covid are experiencing symptoms matching Alzheimers, so perhaps they were misdiagnosed as Alzheimers also.

   I am guessing Starlink has commercial/military/industrial uses that are already bankrolling the project, and consumer use is the cream on the cake in terms of profit

    That doesn't sound right to me.. the amount of energy a Tesla battery could store over its lifetime is up in the hundreds of megawatt hours range.

    I like my Garmin, they are making good hardware. But the software is a let-down.

    IMO, figures of authority have abused public trust to an excess. Combined with the Internet, this has resulted in wide-spread distrust, which forms the basis for belief in false conspiracy theories. The most easy to believe lies are those t

    I did some research on EVs for sale here in Australia and found that although they are not the cheapest, Telsa has the best recharging network. The supercharger stations along the main highways around the country are well worth the extra pr

    It is hard for me to imagine a time when animal fat was considered surplus to needs and discarded.

    Tangentially, I permanently replaced my Raspberry Pi with an x86 Upboard and it is just so much nicer to use and not really that expensive, though there are some high end models https://up-shop.org/

    This has been one of the worst times of the year for renewables - it has been cold, cloudy, rainy, and not very windy. Spot prices on the wholesale market apparently spiked to $12000

    Thanks, I did this on my 20.04 systems and it worked fine. Simply uninstall snapd. I lost LXD (no way I'd use this now anyway if its distributed via snap), and chromium browser (but discovered the far superior Ungoogled version anywa

    I'm excited, but my basic entry-level AUD$20k Toyota Hilux utility has a range of 600km and can carry 6metre long cargo on its ladder rack, and 1 tonne of payload in the tray.. These electric pickups are still very fancy expensive toys
