He does, but he omits a lot of important considerations that make heat pumps impractical for normal Americans. If he touches on them, it's briefly - if at all, e.g.: - More expensive units, and more expensive to run power wise. It&#x27

There's always someone pushing for more lol The problem right now isn't so much panel efficiency as the lump cost of doing a project like this and the affordability / justifiability of that.. Especially when solar companies t

Yep, as soon as you start talking about flat panels on the ground, you start introducing problems with moisture, and/or snow/ice buildup in the winter. Might be ok in some areas, but not at northern latitudes, and definitely not t

I'd gotten a couple quotes for grid-tied solar installations recently.. and they were pretty outrageous @ over $5/watt installed (with no battery backup & no option to stay on with the grid out). So now I'm in the process

Yep. Even the 14 & 16" MBP with M1 Pros stay much cooler & quieter than your typical AMD/Intel Windows laptop. Silence is golden, and even on the odd occasion where the fan on the 14" M1 Pro starts spinning (e.g. runn

The presence of the notch is offset by extra pixels added to the screen height. Considering the way MacOS's top menu works, notches are a non-issue and you're ultimately getting more screen real estate than the non-notched variant

Fan noise is effectively non existent on the Apple Silicon based Macbooks. I've got a 14" M1 Pro and it's very difficult to tell the fan is even running, and I think the only time I've ever actually seen the fan run abov

Wrong. It depends on the USB-C charger/cable; it can and will charge at >67W via USB-C if your wall adapter & cable can handle it.

The new 2021 MBPs (14 & 16) as well as the new M2 MBA/MBPs can charge with either Magsafe, OR USB-C. I've personally charged my 14" off a 100W USB-C, and it does fast charge, faster than the stock 67W adapter.
