   The administration is supported and buoyed by many companies and rich people in SV. Besides that the general decline of the American Empire seems relevant enough for today's world.

   >Canada here. 7.6kw on our roof for $0 out of pocket thanks to $5k grant and $8k interest free loan. €13.000 for this still seems expensive. Are there tariffs on Chinese PV in Canada?

   I am living in my second house I bought and they absolutely did not. They just confirmed I was buying a house for X. They did not read the whole thing.

   As a Dutch person I never understood this push until someone told me (and this is true in 2026!!!) that if you open a LLC (Gmbh?) in Germany you have to physically go to the notary and have a person READ OUT all the statutes to you. The who

   The NT kernel misses all modern features like containers though.

   Have you ever wondered why poor countries are often littered with statues of their leaders? A life of wealth, 0 consequences and only yes-men around you tends to produce these self absorbed people.

   This institution lost my respect when they handed Obama the price for not being Bush, I guess.

    Over here installation takes 4 hours or so, probably less. How much more expensive can that be? It's probably much more in the planning process and tariffs on Chinese PV.

    PV is wildly expensive in the US. Apparently you even need a permit from the grid operator for it. Here in NL they come to your house a week after you call and your panels are up and connected in 4 hours or so.

    Since there are many fans here, perhaps people can share some of their favourite comics for the others.

    I am in the process of doing the same. I have a Netbird mesh (Tailscale but open source) with 3 k3s nodes. They are geographically separated for HA. Claude and Gemini have been instrumental in helping me understand the core concepts of kube

    This is really cool. I had no idea my city had two underground 50kV cables to distribute the power. From what I can see it's pretty complete and up to date for my area.

    OneDrive on Windows with 6 users is probably fine. Try adding Teams, Sharepoint and 9000 more people in the mix. Oh and MS Office that will try to force it on you.

    Every time I need to add my file and send it out I manually download it first. The shenanigans that happen when you 'link' to files, or not, from Teams to Outlook to Sharepoint is beyond me. They also constantly sneak it into Word

    Sure, just like that famous small screen phone everyone wants but then no one actually buys.

    “Join our Discord…” That is a bit unexpected to see. Start Up vibes, haha. Looks like another insane leap forward this.

    I build a gaming VM and decided to go with Windows because the latest AMD drivers (upscaling etc..) only works there for now. I wanted to be nice and entered a genuine Windows key still in my laptop's firmware somewhere. As a thank you

    Any private company is fully free to financially ruin themselves if this is what the shareholders want. You are under no obligation to make a profit.

    I am well aware that clip mustve been played thousands of times. He really had no clue how politics work here. The people voting Afd et al. are NOT people buying EVs. The venn diagram of those groups is two circles.

    Probably also the no lack of Nazi salutes on TV and his political ‘escapades’.
