Google seems to have set their nest protect units to need six lithium AA non-rechargeable cells. Which is 1.8v, not 1.5v. You put in completely fresh batteries verified with a multimeter at above 1.5v (1.58v iirc) and they’ll complain about it.
I bought lithium rechargeable and they’re 1.5v. Which seems reasonable. I wish all of ‘em would be one standard.
Feels instead like we have AA-, AA, and AA+.
How do they reach this conclusion? Full article is behind a paywall.
Fascinating theory either way. Thanks for posting!
BusyCal as a macOS client and baikal as a server.
Those two are reliable as can be. BusyCal is a great app with a responsive developer and can connect to virtually anything.
As to the topic of this post, despite the above, I’m trying to move away from CalDAV and CardDAV, the latter has poor support on most mobile platforms in the way I want to use it. I also am trying to reduce self hosted platforms I maintain, which is currently a high number.
You vastly overestimate the competence of the workforce in general. If you show up on time, work hard, and work to improve over time (don’t expect to be perfect! Just learn from mistakes!) you will be a coveted employee.
Hopefully this leads to improved feelings of self worth.
Reminds me of the YouTuber Mat Armstrong w/motto “Hard work beats talent.”
As others have said, pick a trade. Make bank. Get some friends who value you for you. F everyone else. Not literally lol
Fascinating! Thanks for posting this.
Dream list: make it so I can press a button to inhibit hunger for 20-60m. Would be handy for when I know I’ll be eating soon but am annoyingly hungry anyway.
To start one without ties to your name is more difficult, at least in my state. You’d have to have a registered agent you trust and to file articles of incorporation. Plus get an EIN.
Even with an EIN, so as far as the federal government is concerned single member LLCs are basically sole proprietorships for tax purposes.
Unsure about the effect of recent ownership laws; almost certainly bad for privacy at some level.
Regardless of all that, financial institutions won’t grant credit to entities that don’t have their own income. Normally a history of income, and income not tied to a single member LLC. Been there done that. Yes my LLC has credit cards but at their core they are tied to the financial backing that my personal credit history provided.
It is possible you could jump through all those hoops and still gain a measure of privacy. There are vastly easier ways, imho.
Report being raped without being laughed at.
Yes! I hate this!! There seems to be an industry wide practice of never carrying any product consistently.
I understand that if something had to be put on clearance even in-season that they’re not going to buy more of it. But surely bringing back best sellers would be profitable?
Or even providing some mechanism for ordering previously-stocked items online? I don’t need to try it on and will order many units/variations because I already know I love it. Seems like an easy way to make money. Low to no returns too.
lol sorry about that. Polyester definitely doesn’t have that effect on me and unlike cotton, 100% polyester is pretty much unaffected by wash + dry cycles.
Cotton wears out stupidly quick in comparison.
So when buying off I’m interested i don’t even check sizes, I go straight for material. If it’s less than 70% polyester I won’t even consider buying it.
The apology is because stores do seem to be shifting towards folks like me. I love it.
Didn’t really state a position other than ownership, which does have some implications. I am fine with smart TVs but not ok with data collection and ads.
Either would only be ok if I had opted in, especially be paying a lower price with that tradeoff, but I and everyone else are paying full price, so I am adamantly opposed to it.
You took it a step further than me, and I applaud your efforts. I hope they are noted by the manufacturers.
I have recent LG TVs. They did start showing ads, but if you dig around in the menus you can disable them.
Not addressing your main points. Just wanted to point out you can have a smart home with purely local devices. No cloud.
Keeps carpal tunnel at bay. Well, helps but doesn’t totally prevent it by itself.
Tree style tabs ftw
Airvpn, then use their advanced config to create a 443 tcp tunnel out to a single server. Then use that server’s IP in your OpenVPN config file. Route all traffic including dns inside the tunnel.
Traffic will look like all other web traffic - encrypted on standard web ports. You won’t even need to do a DNS lookup to start with and airvpn uses generic rDNS so it’s not super easy to figure out from their perspective.
You’re just flatly wrong, the spec page for the humdrum mini split I pulled up first has a max outdoor max ambient operating temp of 52.78c (127f)
My point in bringing up refrigerant temps was to get you to look into it. Heat exchangers are more effective than you believe. No one is trying to convince you that these units defy the laws of physics.
You should look into variable speed compressors and the temps at which refrigerants work. You’re correct on many points but misinformed on others.
U crazy! lxc is incredibly lightweight compared to a vm, I’m often amazed at what it can do with just a few hundred MB of memory.
Also you can map storage straight from the host and increase allocation instantly, if needed. Snapshotting and replication are faster too.
I’m always bummed when I’m forced to run a VM, they seem archaic vs PVE CTs. Obviously there are still things VMs are required for, though.
Or containers, but lxc instead of docker-like. They’re like full VMs in operation but super lightweight. Perfect for some needs.
If people would vote for good that’d be a choice. Consistently voting for “less evil” works towards that goal - having good candidates.
If “more evil” candidates keep winning, what message does that send to candidates?
