Yeah, with the largest batteries available (12aH, which is perfectly doable with a decent backpack system since the weight isn't on what you're holding) I've used mine up to 40-50 minutes in terms of continuous run at maximum

Well, fact is they're very, very useful. I spent a solid couple of decades poo pooing them. Finally tried one, and was instantly sold. It's not just the time savings either, blowers allow doing jobs that just aren't very fe

Yeah externalities in particular, like with CFCs or tributyltin, mess up incentives. A lot of individual benefit can be derived from pushing costs onto the general world and when the cost is individually hard to observe and/or spread o

As I said that's more like #3. It's certainly very important to their overall plans particularly in terms of going beyond LEO in an economic manner: Starship's design requires refueling in-orbit for that, and expended tankers

Super, super excited about this! I was far too young for Apollo or early days of the Shuttle, by the time I was really paying attention to rockets it felt like our bounds and ambitions had sadly shrunk a great deal. Falcon 9/Heavy has

Seemed of note because it's actually been kind of an interesting total flub to watch. Sure Tesla has had other product issues, but nothing quite so utterly abysmal an own-goal. Solar should fit in very well to their overall energy infr

Well yeah, though not just "advanced features" but also "basic maintenance and polish of existing features". That's why I moved routing and such to OPNsense and switched a couple hundred switches/WAPs out for O

by xoa 3y ago
Agreed, though worth adding that basic managed switches are so cheap at this point as well, even new let alone used, that probably worth it. Brand new, a basic Omada 8 port gigabit switch starts at $70. Having 4 of those ports be PoE+ is

I think mesh networks start to become more valuable when you want/need various users or sites to be able to talk directly to each other with significant bandwidth, or when latency might be constraining, and start to scale up. To take m

I 100%, absolutely sympathize with the opening there. The situation really sucks to a surprisingly great extent. At the same time though, it has to be stated that going for a 'dumb, simple' Smart Lights really, really misses an en
