That's exactly the kind of thing I do in the morning over coffee in those quiet few minutes before the children are up. Rest assured that you can still continue to comment on obscure tech minutiae at odd hours of the morning.

I hope I don't regret getting a Framework for my mother. Just the battery life alone has been thinking that a Ryzen Thinkpad would have been a better choice.

I read about a Mitsubishi home gas cogeneration system many years ago (10 ish). I think they haven’t taken off because they are expensive, only suitable in certain climates, and significantly less efficient at producing electricity from ga

I mean sort of. If fuel prices are still at the whim of global markets, does it matter if the country is a net importer or not? Electrification with domestic electricity supply seems like it would provide much greater security. Though the
