The daytime energy shifting is interesting. I wonder if a heat pump water heater could have a variable tank temperature and then use thermostatic mixing valves at point-of-use to get consistent, safe temperatures from faucets and such. I

I used a Clicks keyboard with a folded Moto Razr for a while and it was Blackberry-esque. The keyboard is a little narrow compared to the Blackberries of yore, though. I'm somewhat hopeful about the Clicks Communicator which is wider

My least favorite part is how the parental controls are locked into iMessage. There's no way to manage parental controls from anything other than another iDevice. I suppose this is a sales strategy for them - parent must buy an iDevi

ISTR in the old days Twitter was easy to read when not logged in, much like Mastodon or Bluesky are now. But once they captured market share, and this happened before Musk!, they started gradually ramping up the pressure to log in or use t

My only problem is that by viewing tweets with your alias account is that you're still contributing to their DAU / MAU (daily/monthly active user) count. I want the service to die; their usage numbers should go to zero.

That seems to be exactly what the post is doing? I guess there aren't enough network engineers or RF experts here to have a real conversation about it though. All the comments are just anecdotal discussions of phone bars and reception

Any better resources you'd recommend on the topic?

Actually no, they are required to allow you to enter the country, but they will make it a hassle, to the point of dehydrating you and/or refusing bathroom access, and confiscate the device in the end and access is through other technic

I thought it was the opposite; it's blindingly obvious that everyone should be getting rooftop solar. The only thing holding me back is the need to work with the condo association on a new roof first.

There were significant state subsidies and regulation changes to encourage home battery installation. That's a lot less "free trade" driven than the GP post indicates. Is that still capitalism being an excellent system?

There's a difference between asserting your right to a travel lane and getting directly in someone's face to yell at or lecture them. I agree both can be seen as confrontational, but I think the latter is significantly riskier.

Aren't VTOL aircraft significantly more complex and riskier to operate than fixed-wing prop aircraft? There's certainly many fewer moving parts and tricky transitions from hover to airfoil flight regime.

I think a reminder to periodically log out and go engage in some repetitive task and actually find peace and enjoyment in it is probably a good thing for a lot of folks.

I certainly don't give one whit for "placating" drivers. If you have time, take a pic, file a ticket, call the non-emergency police number. Great. And then the adult can use their bike to take the lane, stopping traffic, an

>> Kindly fuck off. Saying "kindly" doesn't not make this incredibly rude. Much like parking in the bike lane, lecturing a stranger, or sounding a loud horn in a crowded area. By all means, take a pic, file a request,

I've been pleasantly surprised at how robust my 2024 Razr (regular edition) has been. I think if the outside screen was a hair bigger (like on the Plus and Ultra), it would be significantly more useful. I tried the Clicks keyboard cas

Gotta pay the rent somehow. There has to be enough money in it somewhere for people to pay the rent so they can put the time in, or it doesn't happen.

The second line of commit #2's message is "You can find the actual git history at the v0.2 github tag." which in turn has almost 6000 commits. I think it's a weird way to handle git history versus squashing feature branc

It's good for capital holders. It does imply a further shift in the distribution of wealth though with all the attendant implications thereof. I question the premise that humanoid robots are "around the corner". I suspect t

It's accelerating. Electrification of infrastructure and buildings is a huge growth area with big delays in projects due to lack of capacity.

There's also glasses for this that put a fluid filled tube in your peripheral vision. I want to try it next time I'm on a sailboat and have to do something inside the boat while it's pitching.
