I'm also a little bummed that they seem to have dropped the Pro Display XDR. I wanted a 32" display as the main display, and then use my existing two Studio Display vertically as secondary on each side. I guess we're going to

One thing that made Tahoe even worse is that Apple changed what they considered an update or upgrade, so for Tahoe it was suddenly considered as a update and not an upgrade, in all management solutions. This force-upgraded a lot of Macs at

(I'm not a lawyer) You should be careful about speaking in absolute terms when talking about copyright. There is nothing that prevents multiple people from owning copyright to identical works. This is also why copyright infringement is

I don't understand why that is such a huge problem. The alternatives have much more severe problems, all from reusing a wildcard in many places to running your own PKI.

I'm going to chalk this up to the decline in Google search to save my embarrassment, because that was very straight forward, and I don't understand how I didn't find that. Admittedly, it's a couple of years since I looke

I'm mostly happy with my Apple Watch, but you better hope that it doesn't calibrate itself poorly. There's no way to force it to recalibrate and it persists through full reset and even full replacement of the Apple Watch itse

I get the point you're trying to make here, and the sarcastic undertone, but I'd have issues living with myself if people died because of something that I was able to identify and that was preventable, and I did nothing. The whole

I think that depends a lot on how the data is going to be used. It sounds like you're not really using EBS volumes for what they're great at; Durability. While instance storage is ephemeral nothing really stop you from using it as

Having a low child mortality is important, and we've done so many good things in the last couple of decades, but I'm starting to think we're at the point now where the money you have to spend to make a meaningful difference i

They don't even seem to specify what kind of charger they've tested. But I wouldn't be surprised if they found that a quarter of public L2-chargers were out of service. They have tons of failure points and usually very little

Making a wild guess that it was a Circle K-station that you went to? They were quite early to the market with fast chargers, and had a lot of reliability issues with some of the chargers. Like you suggested, it's usually software relat

I don't really understand the argument you're trying to make. You want us to use less accurate meters and then pay a premium to cover those inaccuracies, which is supposed to be cheaper than just buying accurate meters? And then u

Everything I read seems to suggest that hydrogen is a pipe dream for energy storage, as the output efficiency is so low. And that's before accounting for all the issues of just storing and distributing it. Solar panels and wind turbine

For the last mile you're probably right, but the electricity has to come from somewhere. So you also need to size the production capacity, distribution network, sub-stations and whatnot to match the installed capacity. Things get reall

Are you sure you want less accurate meters? There's a lot of losses in the network itself, and without accurate meters it's hard to pinpoint where they are and if they can be fixed. In Norway we quite recently switched to more acc

There's a lower bound to how cheap electricity can be, the infrastructure to distribute it isn't free. Every country price this differently, but one way to solve this is to split the cost per kWh in use and transport, which is com

I'm not going to pretend that there aren't edge cases and personal situations that would make it viable, but my initial comment was on consumers as a whole. And we're talking about averages. So sure, if you have gas boiler yo

Teslas "virtual power plant" is only for Tesla Powerwall. There's no V2G capabilities in any Teslas to date, and I don't think there's even hardware support for it. The Tesla Cybertruck has V2L capability, so it mig

I don't really think consumers want or need this. The battery chemistry used in most EV batteries are not really optimized for a lot of cycles, and they're somewhat expensive to replace, so you're much better off just buying

I'm struggling a little bit to grasp all the concepts when we start talking about unikernels, wasm and so on. Hopefully that's just a sign of the maturity of it, and not a sign of my mental decline. But on paper (as I understand i

In AWS you don't even do neighbour discovery through ARP. Or that's a lie, you do, you get a arp reply, but it's not from any of your devices on the network. And traffic is authenticated and authorized at both the source and

Compared to the amount of oil used for making fossil fuels plastic is almost a rounding error. So he's technically right, but not really if you look at th bigger picture.

In what way? I've always found that Terraform does it exceptionally well, mostly because of the dependency graph and how good providers map resources so that they don't end up in a dead lock.
