Surprisingly enough, you can get that from the BMW i3. - The monitor is necessary but it is not a touch screen and it comes with a nice clicky knob to control it. Plus you can make shortcuts to go to certain screens with the radio station b

my phone had an issue with charging cables falling out. Turns out the port had compacted lint jammed in it. Turned the phone off and used a needle to clean it all out, phone retains cables now like the day it was new.

You can buy splitters that convert the PoE into standard network + barrel power plug. Cost 20ish dollars and a roughly raspberry pi sized device in physical space. One such example (Though I haven't used it personally): https:/&#

I can do this with fastmail, though fastmail is a subscription (like $5/month? IIRC, mine auto renews every 2 years so not sure). I have my primary email setup as <firstname>@<lastname>.org. If you set your dns records corr

The natural gas genny portion exists, the water one does not. The water one doesn't exist for two reasons: 1. There is only energy in the water system because your city has pumps/water towers to give it pressure. So in a disaster,

I feel like the real problem here is that bash is still the default and bash defaults/UX are straight up awful. The fish shell gets a lot of things right in regards to a sane out of the box experience, though there are a few things it

As soon as you walk by someone or shake someones hand, they can copy your implanted RFID. Now, if you want to 'change the locks' to your house and car, you will need to dig out the chip in your hand and implant a new one. To me, a

Isn't this model already relatively heavily used? There are loads of apps that have a free ad supported version, but if you pay for it, all ads are removed. They could spin it in a similar way: Ad supported version is free. As part of
