I didn't even get onto the power requirements for end user equipment - according to Jeff Geerling, it looks like about 80-90 watts. My FTTP ONT is using less than 2. That's 788kWh per year ((90 * 24 * 365) / 1000) and at 25p

Case in point, I worked with a Staff software engineer (I was also the same level) who consistently, half over half, had zero diffs to their name. Because they were leaning more into a product archetype - which it turns out they were very s

And also the ruinous planning regulations in the UK, which thankfully the current Labour government have signalled they're going to reform (which hopefully means gutting a lot of them).

Yep - I've got three separate devices that would appear to have Espressif SoC's A Hildebrand IHD (reads the smart meters and pops the readings onto an MQTT topic). The Octopus Home Mini, and finally, a Tado wireless controller.

The current admin is unlikely to get the DOJ to do anything, so that leaves you trying to sue them yourselves, and they can afford more expensive lawyers and to gum up the proceedings until you go bankrupt or give up. If you haven't al

The NATO Expansion line has been disproven to death. Putin sees the fall of the USSR as a historical wrong that must be righted. He uses NATO Expansion as an easy excuse to sell to the rubes, but it's just that, an excuse. He was going

The biggest boon I've found is writing tests - especially when you've got lots of mocks to setup, takes away that boilerplate overhead and lets you focus on the meat of the test. And when you name your test cases in a common patte

I've got an EV6 and most functions have physical controls, which was a key driver in getting it. Climate control (albeit shared between media with a button to switch between the two), heated seats, heated steering wheel, various button

But which sources? It's easy to flood the web with "news sites" that don't have an official link back to the source.

Seems there's a case to be made for SAP to alter any future contracts of that nature to contain a clause that if you're leaving for a serious breach you get nothing. Willy Wonka style.

That's why the sensible buy their EV second hand. I got a 1 year old demonstrator with low miles (3500 on the clock) for 30% less than buying a brand new one. With an OBD dongle to check the true state of the battery, it's not a r

Only problem with the Niro is that depending on which year you get, it's not possible to get a proper read on how much the battery has degraded with an OBD dongle - something the E-GMP based cars in Kia and Hyundai's lineup allow

I bought a 1 year old low mileage Kia EV6 (AWD GT Line) - 3500 miles on the odometer. This means I avoided the first year depreciation. But having an EV also allowed me onto the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff ... which gives the entire house
