Cool thing! A couple suggestions: 1. I have an M3 Ultra with 256GB of memory, but the options list only goes up to 192GB. The M3 Ultra supports up to 512GB. 2. It'd be great if I could flip this around and choose a model, and then see

A real question - who or what are we building software for? If we're using AI to build apps that are just used by other AIs, then yes, why does anything need a UI? But while AIs are doing all the creating and all the consuming, what ex

That exists, it's called a pi-hole, and it's very popular. It will block the 'tv spy' apps.

You're right - turns out as someone who's lived in Oakland for more than a decade I didn't know what it was like. Sometimes you need an outside perspective. Thanks.

Me and a lot of other families. You are clearly unfamiliar with the city if you think it's just constant shootings.

For Google Drive files, you don't need a special account or service to back up to Synology and B2, which I also do. I use the Synology Cloud Sync service to automatically sync all Google Drive files to the synology, then another Cloud

A rebuttal: https://cleantechnica.com/2021/10/26/about-that-scary-evs-co... tldr: lots of shady figures went into this to make EVs look as expensive as possible and ICE vehicles look as cheap as possible. Gar

Do we have any data about people actually becoming sick because of toilet flushing aerosols? Everyone enters bathrooms and flushes multiple times per day, but is not constantly sick. So is this actually a problem or just "gross if you

Cars delivered today without USS will not have: "Park Assist: alerts you of surrounding objects when the vehicle is traveling <5 mph." (among other features like Summon) This is the most basic feature that almost every car has

To be clear, I wasn't complaining about the speed. 1/2 a second is pretty quick when the average is 6 seconds.

I had this game as a kid, and actually managed to muddle through it, collect all the phone parts, and win the game. I have never heard about anyone else completing it, but it was possible!

Do you mean 15kw? 1.5 is only like 4 panels, it wouldn’t make $400 per month and wouldn’t cost anywhere near $25k.

Not OP but I have a Ubiquiti 'UniFi Protect' system in my home that works well. Lots of different cameras to choose from, including a doorbell.

The number one selling EV make (in the US) sells every car they can build (hundreds of thousands) with no incentives.

The only benefit Hydrogen had over BEV was refueling time. I think what we've learned in the last few years is that charging at home overnight makes up for the perceived disadvantage BEVs have, and we're seeing rapid improvement i

It's not free, it was just paid for by other people. If it has to be nearly free for someone to take it, not sure that really supports these being commercially viable.

This also carries power over the wire, which optical can't do.

I had 400A installed at my house (all electric, solar, batteries, the works). It's still overkill. What's shocking to me isn't that they went with a 400a panel, that I can (and obviously did) justify. It's that it WASN&#

It’s a Rheem ‘hybrid’ heat pump water heater (80gal). You can get them at Home Depot.

Hope that we don’t have one in the middle of winter. Most times of the year the solar + batteries should be able to keep the lights on and at least minimum heat. Any half the year we could comfortably run off grid for long stretches.

I've run into this guys videos before, and I find them a bit conspiratorial, and certainly not academically honest. What you describe is not my experience with heat pumps at all. Sibling comment says it best.

Tesla's guidance for dealing with battery fires in their cars is to basically flood them. I think the idea is to keep the temperature down. The water won't extinguish it because it's a chemical fire, but you can use water to

In our house we have central heat which requires a fan to blow the warm air to all the vents. No power = no heat, regardless of the fuel source. We also don't have prolonged winter outages here since there's no snow (coastal calif

Who knows what things will look like in 15 years. 15 years prior to now such a thing was not feasible, or would have cost 10x as much. I expect in 15 years the cost of home batteries will be much much lower, and replacement costs will be af
