This is absolutely happening now and is a thing. I downgraded to the $9.99/month SD one screen option because I asked and no one else was watching at all and now I'm rethinking even continuing with that. The upcoming ad-supported

There is no way that rooftop area is even as large as a standard solar panel (say 200 ft²). Even the most efficient panel is no more than 350W, so you're cutting your "700 W" more than in half right off the bat. Discounting

Also the 100 kWH battery pack is curious - a Tesla Model Y only has a 75 kWh battery pack and has a 300+ mile range. That is a ton of weight to be carrying around for a car that you would only drive a few miles once per week.

Sure. If that's your situation then leave the car outside 24/7 and it will probably work. Hopefully you have a secure, shade-free location. The US DOT says the average miles driven per year is 13,476 miles. You could never ever

So less surface area in exchange for less air resistance? That's a difficult tradeoff when the A/C and other electric load devices will be constant despite the motive demands.

This can never work simply due to physics. It has a 100 kWh battery pack and no more than 1 kW maximum of solar panel capability, and probably quite a bit less due to the odd angles and less efficient panels. EEVBlog did a video[0] on this

There seems to be two main use cases for a room-sized air purifier: If you live in a polluted city or are affected by wildfires, having a box fan-sized model is almost a necessity. It is going to be noisy and unsightly but undeniably more e

You'll definitely want to bump thickness up to 2.0 mm for more rigidity. Otherwise just measure the diameter of your filter and maybe round up slightly. I put a layer of electric tape around the flange where the filter adapter inserts

Well, my experience refutes that opinion, but yes, it sized for a smaller room or less polluted larger areas. My office is approximately 12' x 12' x 8' or 1,152 ft³. That means the room's air would (theoretically) compl

Big Clive made a video and wrote an OpenSCAD script[0] which allows you to 3D print a base and adapter to convert a regular 120mm computer fan into a "true" HEPA air purifier. You might already have a spare 120mm fan laying around

I think they were testing your ability to use "whois" and "dig". Amazon recruiters are tenacious so I wouldn't put it past them.

On the 11/70, Deposit was the only switch that toggled up (other than the light test switch). That is a nice safety feature so you don't accidentally toggle Continue or other action switches.

That is exactly what is going on but you don't need 3 way toggle. Down is 0 and up is 1, you load all of the values in like a shift register but in parallel, then write/act upon them.

The reference frequency part is very important. There is a lot of test gear that relies on a 10 MHz signal for calibration.

Shutting it down would have made every single existing radio controlled clock e-waste, overnight. And not just random wristwatches and wall clocks, but school and industrial clocks. None of these will work with GNSS signals.

This, along with the WWVB station[0] that makes most of your "atomic" wall clocks work, is an underappreciated national (and international) resource that was almost shut down recently[1] due to budget cuts. I'm not going to l

That might be true (I don't know), but US Cellular is a CDMA/4G/5G carrier so there is at least some non-GSM functionality in there.
