And which power company? PG&E has made it almost not worth it to harness the free power of the sun on my roof with their NEM 3.0 rules, that they passed just before holiday break after delaying for so long and against mass public outrag

Sadly this is the type of bounty hunting that seems quite likely to get a bounty placed on one’s own head. Making a career out of angering the rich and powerful by going after their money isn’t likely to end well.

But hey, we make them send out “IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM _____ BANK” letters every time they change the pages-long legalese that allows them to sell all your data, and of course people read those from all the companies sending them and keep up

Also things like MinisForum and BeeLink with Zen4 “Phoenix” 7945HS models that can take 64GB DDR5, have strong igpus, dual M.2, dual USB4, 2.5GbE…I’m building up a maxed out one now to replace an old 6th-gen Intel NUC that runs my HomeAssis

The internet in general has just become one giant billboard / sales grift over the past decade and it’s really sad to see. I hate how much of the American economy is based on ads and marketing, just trying to force feed us pushes to bu

Imagine how far an EV with a similar amount of weight of batteries to vehicle weight could go. I'm not an EV hater, just pointing out here that even lithium-ion batteries are in the range of 100-265 Wh per kg while gasoline is around 1

Is this new? Near-gibberish "blogs" that are part of link rings have been around for at least a decade or so. Places used to sell "SEO" services where they'd have hundreds of automated wordpress blogs that would lin

Stuff like GRPC / GQL feels cool, but JSON still feels "closer to the wire" and easier to work with using normal text-based tools / curl / etc. The internet felt like magic growing up once I learned about SMTP and H

Stuff like this is why the notion that AI will eat all the software jobs in a few years is so ridiculous to me: who will maintain all the infra? Maybe AI will very eventually, but there's still a whole lot that needs to happen for the

Don't forget Comcast charging large companies to "deliver bits" to "their customers", so that's another time that Comcast rips off customers if anyone is counting. Read up on "Comcast zero rating" too

An even simpler explanation for why they don't do this is because they don't need to. The vast majority of consumers likely don't know any better anyway, and even if they did, it's not like they have other viable options

Take the Comcast CPE, put wifi router in small faraday cage or open it up and unplug the antennas? Most of Silicon Valley is in the clutches of Comcast as well, unfortunately. It's 1.2gbps down / 35mbit up or ATT 768K DSL (and we&
