> they still didn't manage to sell any Windows tablets. That was such a branding problem for Microsoft. Microsoft supplied so many Surface tablets to the NFL and the commentators kept calling them iPads.

I have to periodically restart my session if I'm using Gnome with Wayland, as memory use keeps growing. With the X11 version, you could alt + f2, then "r" to restart gnome-shell. This is, for some reason, not possible when

Yes, there is existing ductwork in the house. I understand the situation -- I had searched to see if hydronic gas heating used ducts, and it can but it seems that this is not common. Their issue is not an issue of heat pumps themselves, b

It is -- it looks just like an air conditioner plopped on a pad. There's two lines connected to it and leading into the house; one is an insulated copper pipe, and the other is the mains power connected to an electrical disconnect box

I guess this depends on where you locate the heat pump. On mine, the insulated pipe and mains connection are within two feet of the building.

Mine has one pipe going into the basement, and the mains power connection. What sorts of ugly lines are you referring to?

Are they perhaps referring to geothermal heat pumps?

So your issue is with the quality of the firmware on the devices and not the fact that it is a camera in a private place which is connected to the internet? I agree with everything you're saying, but you may be overstating security pat

Where do you charge your cell phone? I totally agree with you, but then I put my phone on a qi charger on my nightstand and go to sleep. It's a device with both quality cameras and microphones, so I feel a little hypocritical given tha

I have mine pointed at a mouse trap. It's been super useful, honestly, but I would never point a camera like this into a living space.

There are already phishing websites which copy the look of the real website, and a user could easily mix the two up.

I pay for Prime, and we're soon to have ads unless you pay more to remove them. I wouldn't feel bad taking to the high seas while keeping the prime subscription. I'm at the point with other services where I will subscribe

That's kind of what I do for my shrimp tank. I RO filter to get the mineral content close to zero, then add a specific amount of minerals to get the TDS to what it would be in their natural habitat. There are RO systems which have a f

No, I'm not. I have an RO filter for aquatic purposes because I want to remove all dissolved solids from the water. These dissolved solids are what gives water its taste. RO water will have about 25 ppm TDS. Distilled brings that do

RO water is kind of tasteless, though, since it lacks all mineral content.

Not where I live, but my local water supply has been tapped by Deer Park [1]. I still filter the drinking water, but my tap quality is fantastic. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deer_Park_Spring_Water

I've had good luck with toaster ovens, but even those only last 10 years before they die. The heating elements should be replaceable!

Some plastic parts are intentional / sacrificial. Even so, the old mixers were definitely built to last.

A toaster in 1951 was $21, which is about $250 today. I would argue that a $250 toaster today is still not a "buy it for life" item, but it would certainly have a lot of bells and whistles and almost no user-serviceable parts.
