Same. I self-installed a 5.5kw solar system, fully permitted, in the Denver metro. The utility company (Xcel) had an easy online portal for submitting plans, a quick back and forth on system labeling - they wanted placards instead of sticke

Reminds me of the Eye-Fi SD cards [0] that would store photos taken with your camera and then allow you to wirelessly over your network download photos from the camera, and later would do geotagging based on visible wifi networks. 20 years

You can. It’s a single checkbox on the printer UI that toggles between cloud control or local LAN control.

I’ll take the more positive angle that i appreciate sing a more diversified supply chain, no matter how small the change. You can’t lift and shift production off the entire widget overnight. Start with the less consequential components to g

The “under god” part always rubbed me wrong. I was surprised to learn it was added relatively recently in 1954. I wish we could go back to the prior one.

That's my challenge in Colorado. I installed a modest solar system (5kwh) in 2024 and was incredibly happy with the results. On any given 24 hour period it'd offset 40% of my electricity consumption (EV, hot tub being the big load

I just finished a road trip from Colorado to SoCal by EV and this was the first trip where I didn’t once need an app to start charging. It was a nice change from my last one. Rivian’s network has been amazing now that non Rivian EVs can us

I started looking at that to boost my roof solar capacity. It looks like it’s permitted by code where I’m at and now the only thing I’m unsure about is vandalism since my property is against a busy street. Seems like a great idea though.

Tesla windows are dual pane laminated glass now for acoustic reasons. Really great at keeping noise down, really difficult to break through.

Again, politics aside, I just find the lineup boring. Every model outside the Cybertruck looks like a ten year old car. Even the refresh of the model Y is still reskinning a design language started with the Model S, but with any interesting

For those with Midea manufactured units (They white label so many brands) a great turnkey option is this dongle made by SMLight (1) that comes preloaded with ESPHome. 1 - https://smlight.tech/product/slwf-01/

Any recommendations on where to read more about this? While his style never really engaged me, I never pegged him as being a terrible person.

Oddly bummed to see it fail. It was pretty fascinating to see during the day, how insanely bright the top of the tower was. It had lots of flaws (environmental impact and animal life). Ultimately technology moved ahead of its capabilities.

Denver as well. A handful of the florida locations have their second home here. It’s an interesting crowd compared to a bar. Social and very chill.

I’m not sure where I land on this yet. If the feature is 100% local to the car I’d like a one time purchase. If the feature relies on other services, such as manufacturers mapping roads, then I can support some subscription for ongoing mai

I certainly didn’t. I remember getting cash as a young child, thinking with $20 I was “rich”, and rapidly blowing it on Sim City. I only understood the value of money once I both had a bank account and a job that funded it.

I’m more curious about what change was introduced that omitted the label from a small number of packages.

The simplicity of this site is so exciting to me. I’m looking through the lens of nostalgia for the internet around 2000, but I often I wish we could return to this sort of world of lightweight and simple web design.

I think they’re a nice half step where it keeps me from driving and taking up parking space at the destination. Bus routes help but don’t service original/destination as specifically as a taxi. Accordingly, the taxi costs significantly

Expanding upon this, in a PHEV the battery is relatively small and inexpensive compared to an EV. In the event it does fail it's a financial inconvenience and not effectively totaling the vehicle.
