Once EVs are produced in the same volumes as combustion cars today then the price for an EV will be the same, and probably lower as EV cars are much simpler and contain less components. Right now there is probably also some markup added jus

But you can always change CDN provider in a few minutes, an hour or a day. You cannot move from Twitter to SomeOtherUnknownPlatform.com or from the App Store to UnknownAppStore.com if those platforms decide they don't want you there. W

"a web application that comes with a Windows installer, macOS traditional installation and a Linux RPM". I'm curious; how do you implement this (I assume you do not use Electron)? Wouldn't a PWA (installed PWA) make the

Yes, you are right, knowing the clock rate and duty cycle would be interesting to know. And knowing what the MCU is actually doing. Powering an MCU from a lemon or potato is nothing new and has been done with more than 30 year old MCU'

Also from a user perspective there are many benefits with a software that exists on many platforms. It's often better with a slightly less good/snappy app that runs on all platforms than a perfect app than runs only on one platfor

Electric wire bus is better than tram as it does not require expensive tracks. It is also much easier to change the route. The tracks also create a lot of noise and vibration that gets into nearby buildings. Tracks are also dangerous for b

Isn't that what calendars are for? Most of the time they are pre-installed on all OSes and they handle recurring schedules and notifications. On Linux I use Thunderbird for email with the Thunderbird Lightning Calendar [1]. I sync phon

Using Org mode [1] and for example EasyOrg [2] does pretty much that. You can use tags, links etc and filter and sort on text and tags. In the case of EasyOrg you would use the Agenda's List view and for the paragraphs to show up in th

Nice list! For using org-mode on desktop we made EasyOrg, https://easyorgmode.com . With a focus on managing todos for projects and with easy to use agenda and calendar views. More features and improvements being worked on.

Spot on. By reducing the size and weight of the cars we use gives more than relying on magic new innovations. We use 2000kg cars to drive around a < 100kg person. If we with the snap of a finger replaced all the coal and oil and gas we u

It takes about four years for your solar panels to pay back the co2 used to produce them. And the co2 eeded to produce your car's batteries I do not know, but probably several years for that too. So I doubt your daily driving is carbo

An alternative to using Emacs is EasyOrg [1] which makes org mode a dash simpler to use and with a useful agenda and calendar view. Not supporting full org mode, but plenty of power for Todo list and project planning. [1] https:/&#x2F

That's right. Germany exports when the sun is shining and the prices are low to Switzerland and Austria who use it to pump water up the Alps. When there is no sun in Germany, they buy it back at a high price from Switzerland and Austri

The thing is, we complain about the oil companies and at the same time we take the car to go to work, shopping, etc. It's also the consumers who are using the oil, not only the oil companies, who are to blame at the end. If no one buys

Someone I know who had their house built took pictures of the construction site every day. That way, if an issue turned up later, he could prove by showing the pics that they forgot to do something or did it in the wrong way.

Well, ten years from now the S&P500 could very well be 30-40% below the current valuation. "the bottom decile of returns for the S&P 500" I guess we have not yet seen what that means. The next ten years might show negative

I was referring to pcloud and pcloud also have an office in Switzerland. But similar applies to Tresorit I believe, thy just have it for tax and marketing reasons. The issue is both Tresorit and pcloud store the data outside of Switzerland.

Actually with a modern Ubuntu like 20.04 there are not many issues at all. With 14.04 and 16.04, yes, it could be a bit rough with some graphics issues with some Java based programs, drivers etc. Comparing Ubuntu 20.04 with my wife's M

And that's a good thing as that increases the speed of solar adoption. Governments should increase taxes on oil and coal (and electricity generated from oil and coal). That's the only way to speed up adoption of other energy sourc
