I know someone who did 5000W system for around 15,000 in 2018. Battert/Powerwalls let the solar work when the power goes out. (the dc to ac converters use the 60hz out of the grid to sync. There is no shutoff to the grid so for safet

my partner has panels on her house around boston. They work well. The snow slides off, usually with a great "wump" as it drops 2 stories into the yard. Its acually a little startling at first. They work better in the summer, but

I don’t have an M1 but my Ryzen notebook runs Linux and works great. Ryzen 7 5700U, pangolin model which doesn’t seem to be sold anymore.. It’s quite quiet, battery life is great (a minor miracle) and I’ve done some genetics processing in

I used to think this. But with so many Linux variants out there I think supporting it is harder than just supporting the windows api that makes it work. It’s odd but things like docker and the JVM and browser based software mean the softwar

I run steam on an oryx pro laptop (nvidia graphics, intel 8th gen) and pop OS (Ubuntu variant) It works remarkably well. Proton works from the steam Gui so I don’t think there is any install except the steam software.

I’ve been using Linux on the desktop for 4 years now. Im no means a sys admin. I bought a pre configured machine because i didn’t want any hassle. It’s largely delivered and hasn’t been any worse than the Mac I used to use at work. Im usi

On the steam deck I’ve played and enjoyed Stray: you are a cat exploring Portal: classic that works well Baba is you: a weird little fun puzzler that you change the rules so you can win. I haven’t gotten to far with it. We play a lot of bo

Interesting I had the opposite reaction. Had an oryx pro at home for three years. It's a beast, plays games. Battery life wasn't great but I use it plugged in most of the the time. Has the Nvidia graphics which use a lot of powe

I haven’t seen them recently but “billboard truck” were a thing. A truck who’s only purpose is to literally have advertisements on them. ( they have no storage)

What’s weird to me is MSG had to get pictures of all this law firms attorney’s and enter them into their facial recognition database. It seems wasteful and really petty. They probably pulled from they law firms website. Another reason to

I too like Rings Of Power, it was one of the few shows I'd anticipate watching the next one. It had heart, some mystery and some fun characters. I'm a sucker for that music too (Bear McCredy). better than I hoped. Andor was compel

This sounds great! Will give this a try. I feel like all the parts of linux are there for an amazing desktop(its already great), its just sometimes the discoverability/documentation/usability need a little push.

My only experience with Oracle was we were using it at a startup at the turn of the century. I got tasked with asking them for a quote. They came back with one but offered pretty strong technical support. My boss, wise in the way of data

In the 90s it was “Dan Dorfman” on tv. There started to be some wondering were people feeding him info so the stocks he talked about on tv would move. It’s subtle, “learned” vs “heard” https://www.nytimes.com/1995/07

I think we need a LTS (long term support) version of PHP. One of the great things about it was the non-breaking upgrades for so many years. I mean no version of php7 is supported? https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php

I see the point, an I think it’s a little overhyped. But protein folding with ai might be really helpful for the medical field. (Alpha fold). We also use it to score (rate basically) prospective crispr designs, which along with some other

I’m running games on a Linux machine just fine. It’s kinda remarkable. Steam lead the way and there especially since the steam deck runs Linux now . There is an app that will configure and launch your GOG and epic games too. (Ive tried i

There is nothing wrong with them. They're maximizing profits. They will get away with it, they are so big. (The biggest?) People will still support them, as long they can have the fastest phones/laptops. I started on a mac clone

Safari on iOS is auto-completing stuff as you type. The option to search with google comes up if you get far enough. And it’s not going to google first. If you type an address the “link” at the top is to Apple Maps. They seem to do a simi

I have a small orange password book… oddly. If that gets stolen I think I’d be in big trouble. However it doesn’t have my email address in it. Answers to those inquisitions of a password reset nature are within.

I went to the Boston festival of independent games virtually the last couple years. You meet with independent game designers who show you/demo their games. It’s fun. For virtual demo game prototypes the table top simulator was used
