Absolutely. I have a bunch of waveform light strips (the highest CRI) which I use for specific lighting conditions (e.g. taking photos) and it's the difference between literally night and day. I'm also using them for plants and th

I pack a V10 :) - Also, I didn't mean using it at night next to someone sleeping. But rather, as not to awaken your neighbors.

Dyson constantly improved their cordless vacuums in the past 6 years. I have a V10 which is leaps and bounds better than V7. The battery runs forever, the bin is larger and empties cleanly without meddling, has a great weight distribution a

Interesting. What I noticed was that without changing service address, it would be in search mode for hours without going online. After the change, it would come to life in minutes. I did my trips late last year. I'm sure things are ch

For those not aware, Starlink has no problem with working in motion as it's used on airplanes travelling at 1000km/h. This is more of availability announcement for end users.

Nice! I took Starlink with me on few road trips so far with my Model 3 and rigged it up to work off my car's battery. I did have to change my service address prior to arriving at new locations but it worked fine nonetheless. With the n

Nothing is absolute. Even in absence of Google Chrome, you still have all cloud services and ISPs abiding by the laws of the country they operate in. The point is how much control one has over the end to end distribution. My own website cou

F-Droid came to be in late 2010 and I built the app in early 2012. As such, I didn't really hear about F-Droid at the time and I assume the user base would have been very small (but still better than nothing).
