The number of people that actually remember this line from playing the game, and those that just heard it are probably very different though. Not sure the distinction matters.

Narrator in Bastion. Just glorious.

Sorry but the theoretical price of cells isn’t relevant to the consumer. The price of products containing them is. This thing costs currently on the official site 900€ (with some sort of sale going on). The Elite 100v2 with comparable capacity, but using LiFePo4 (included in the same current sale) costs just 550€. To add insult to injury, it also outperforms the Na model in nearly every aspect except sub-freezing performance (where it at least still works, but nowhere near normal spec values either). This includes an abysmal solar charging efficiency for the Na of roughly 50% at normal temperature. Somehow.

Again, once the price reflects the cell cost, this could be a very attractive option. At the moment, unless you’re into camping in sun-zero climates, it’s just a very bad deal.

Edit: to be clear the Na model also doesn’t have a better life expectancy, not according to the spec. Both models are specified to “over 4000 cycles”, not there is no percentage threshold specified for the Na model. The LiFePo4 model includes “to 80% capacity” in that definition. If this is specified somewhere for the Na model, I can’t find it.

The thing currently costs at least 50% more than the closest equivalent LiFePo4 from the same brand. The only real advantage seems to be it’s ability to handle sub freezing temperatures, but usability still drops dramatically (both capacity and available power delivery). Everything else is straight up worse in this one in direct comparison.

It’s only the first product, so it’ll most certainly get better. Also as numbers of products sold rise, costs fall. Once these are cheaper, that are a real choice.

Teams actually works just fine. I’m my case installed from the AUR using the electron already present anyways. Zero issues. More specifically zero additional issues compared to Windows.

Back left is the second most used one in our house, cause it’s the 2nd largest. No idea how universal that is…

Didn’t notice anything like this, not even slightly.

I’ve gone with CachyOS, frankly it just works. Can recommend. You can tinker more if you want to, but there’s no need.

The critical thing with these is response time. If it’s even slightly too high (I think 20-30ms is easily too high), some/many people get very motion sick. Getting that time down as low as needed is also not trivial.

With it only being 60 Hz on the controller itself, that’s basically impossible to hit. That’s 16.6 ms already. Then the processing, sending to the PC, and the PC reacting has a budget of just a few ms? Yea, not happening.

I’m assuming he’s really not sensitive to this. As it’s open source now the people who are sensitive can improve it. That’s the beauty of open source after all.

Why is whoever filmed this clearly not able to comprehend that holding the phone sideways would probably be better?

Or is it a compilation of entirely 16:9 content letterboxed into a vertical video?

So then delete the row. OP, you control the spreadsheet, right?

I can’t speak for others, but I personally appreciate the info anyway. Because I wouldn’t trust a VPN company that’s been around for like 3 months. And it allows you to judge a track record with context.

Mine are of course also on a VLan but with no Internet access unless they need it for everyday operation (like a radio, or the amplifier that can play Spotify).

We don’t use the manufacturer apps at all. Everything is integrated into (fully local) home assistant. No need to open a specific app to operate a switch, or a light. Everything in one place. Trivial and incredibly clear. Things that can be are of course automated.

Just because it’s a “smart” service doesn’t mean it has to connect to the Internet or a server or the manufacturer. If it does neither, it can’t be turned off by them.

All my devices run local-only protocols. Nothing leaves my house. The devices that would be proprietary were reflashed to tasmota (fully open source, local only). Others are either Zigbee or Shelly. While Shelly has a cloud connection, it’s fully optional and disabled by default (including automatic updates). The hardware is also supported by tasmota, and reflashing is always just 5 minutes of effort away.

There is absolutely nothing that any manufacturer has to do to keep my stuff working. I have to do a little something (keep my tiny server on, basically). But more importantly there is nothing any manufacturer can do to stop my stuff from working.

Be warned that depending on the grinder, this can be incredibly bad for it.

Depending on your music taste, this is bad or even impossible advice. A significant number or genres I listen to generally don’t perform live, let alone anywhere near me.

While it’s fantastic software, it’s probably a relative cannon to shoot at his problem. Maybe there’s a way around this, but I’ve found the necessary management, curation and bookkeeping that was necessary for it too be useful to be just way too much to be worth it. I mean it’s fun for some, including me to a degree, but not too this extent.

Ctrl+Shift+n for entire Windows, not just tabs.

UnRaid doesn’t provide anything I am interested in, at all. Currently running TrueNAS for main storage and proxmox for virtualization, both ZFS based. If TrueNAS ever enshittifies, I’d run some bare metal Linux with ZFS. My workstations also run ZFS as the file system, making backups trivial. VM snapshots and backups of any system are trivial and take seconds (including network transfers).

I never understood why I’d even consider UnRaid for anything.

I’ve been using TrackerControl, using basically the same idea and concept, and been very happy with it. Having app-level control over what gets blocked is very convenient.

The only downside to this approach is that you can’t use a real VPN anymore, as android only allows one at a time.

I got tired of the movie industry in general. Just stopped going to the cinema and/or buying Blu-rays.
