FWIW I have updated stats at https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/04/3-years-of-domestic-solar-s... They're also published as open data. The dark and dreary days tend to be the ones with the most wind power. Th

Good thing uranium doesn't need mining! And it is only found in countries with strong human rights records!

Nissan vehicles often support it. Look up V2G (Vehicle to Grid). There ate several other models as well, with lots in experimental stages. But new cars are sold every day. So you don't need everyone to upgrade their vehicle. Deployment

I'm sorry, I try to be clear in my writing. I did say " my electricity company emailed me " which was supposed to indicate that this was specific to my local area. London, where I live, has about 9 million people. So I supp

Love it! Called in via Google voice (so no call charges from this side of the Atlantic). Please can you add an in-app purchase of a loot box so that I can upgrade my rock's power?

On all of the videos I have uploaded to my YouTube channel, I have a "Download original" option. That stretches back a decade. Granted, none of them are uncompressed 4K terabyte sized files. I haven't got my originals to do

Mindustry is great on mobile. The resource aspect is quite simple compared to Factorio - drills never run out of a resource, for example. But you can make some fairly complex bases - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/0

I've recently left GDS, so I'll try to explain things from my perspective. Firstly, the salaries are slightly misleading. There is a special non-pensionable pay supplement (DDaT) which improves the salaries considerably. Benefits

For someone with "hyper empathy" - that's a pretty mean comment.

I had to do some pretty hardcore hacking to get Wayland working on Pop. I wrote it up at https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2020/05/fix-screen-tearing-on-rotat... Warning - you'll need to be at least a Level 17 Li

> You haven't even mentioned which wayland compositor you are using. No idea. I'm using Pop OS. So whatever that uses. Gnome is the DE, I think?

Yup, plays everything just fine - on both laptop and external screen.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong with Wayland. I have a cheap Linux laptop, with built in graphics. And Wayland works perfectly. I can run multiple monitors with one of them rotated. When I tried that with X I got lots of juddery

Speak to professors at your school - they will often have contacts with industry. Talk to your school's careers service. Post on LinkedIn. Contact the HR department of large companies and ask if they have internships available. Do not

Do you understand the purpose of hyperbole in prose? When humans communicate, we don't use Backus-Naur form. We generally accept that people will be able to derive the meaning from context. Does the author literally believe that over 5

I think every EV I've driven has a charging timer - so I've been able to say "only charge overnight when prices are cheaper". Some have "Be charged to 100% by this time" so they can pick and choose when to sta

Based on my experience - about 12%. See https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/07/solar-efficiency-and-high-t... That will depend heavily on local conditions, type of panel, etc. Significant, but not devastating.

Thank you for telling me what I care about. Incidentally, how does one extract the oil from a shark's liver without killing the shark?
