OK, you are right. I was focused in on "that’s a decade of $20 keyboards lasting a year each." BUT they didn't actually do that, which is good.

They are totally worth it. The cost is almost secondary to me, it's an excellent typing experience and it reduces reparative stress injury. I have a rosewill that is made from cherry brown switches and apparently the minimum electronic

It's not shame, but IMO if you value your time very little than sure dumpster diving can pay off.

Basically yes. Renewable is more of a supplement to current grids for most of us. There might be a couple rare few areas that currently claim 100%.

OR another (incorrect) way of thinking is that resistive heating is 100% efficient as every bit of heat generated is inside the home. VS mechanical heat has some "loss" with some of the heat being left outside the home. But yes, m

Walk around in the American Heating and Refrigeration conference for a while to get a feel of these trends, this was specifically called out by many manufacturers as driven by the green movement.

I guess if you value your time far less than money you can save a couple bucks on cheap keyboards? I guess they now have a cherry brown based keyboard and can experience the different between that and awful membrane boards. Personally I thi

It's an industry term for mechanical equipment that can heat AND cool. One piece of equipment replaces your AC AND heat source. Heat pumps in particular are getting a push from "green" initiatives because they only use electr

This is the thing I don't get, reddit is getting a heck of a free ride with all these mods. You'd think they would do everything within their power to enable them so why kick them in the nuts? Also the "power" users woul

I can't believe they would do this AND kill off third party apps. I'm with you on not rewarding reddit, they have become very user hostile all the sudden. I was going to ban personal reddit use this week but I already broke that t

Excellent point. Even as a non developer we are automating things like deploying databases for a application and complete system backups. We pay for that app to be developed but it pays off 200x once it's deployed and realized across a

I had to scroll too far down for this, exactly what my first thought was. The web page and native app are just not that great once you've worked with Apollo and some of the other apps like baconreader come to mind.

Springbars with quick release are far easier to use and more compatible. I've always thought that the apple design adds a LOT of size to the watch head with the way they intrude inside the case. If they didn't do that and had the

Not really, plenty of people have "discovered" that proper food intake and exercise actually works. Very few follow through long term and they are looking for a pharma answer, which is profitable so sure they are willing to fill t

I guess I'm a freak, I dropped 30~40 lbs and all it took was a permanent overhaul of my diet (keto/paleo) and committing to some exercise (close rings on apple watch most days). You know, discipline. About 4 years now... People ha

The tyranny of the default is real. People on this site are perfectly aware it takes three seconds to change it but the great masses don't even think about it and they are worth the money spend to keep this default.

Not that one, but I found something that sort of worked but the false rejection rate was way higher than the windows driver. I just used a password and got a new machine this year.
