Unfortunately, a lot of B&H's Ubiquity stock has the memory surcharge built into the base price, so it can't avoided it just isn't labeled as obviously. Shipping, usually can be avoided. But also note that (annoyingly) UI

How are you managing multiplayer and permissions? I see in the docs that you can add multiple users and that queries are filtered by the requesting user such that the user only sees what they have access to. The docs aren't particularl

We recently moved to a more rural location that has needed more tools. It is shocking just how expensive and inconvenient it is to rent tools (and even vehicles to some extent) and just how much worse it is being even just a little bit rura

I've had mixed results with this method, especially for folks in category 5 because they grew up in a world where people casually talked about [actual] visualization and they've associated [not actually visualization] with the wor

I also find it really weird as the killer (only?) app for IPv6 is that home hobbyists can run servers with low overhead! Additionally, like a sibling comment notes, a home hobbyist has full control over at least half, often more, of their a

the reference says $1.18 billion just for "launch operation costs" that doesn't include the hardware. Farther down the source cites the hardware + operations as $2.2B/5 launches

Seconding this, if you dropped OpenTTD because of the simplistic passenger/cargo routing (i.e. take any cargo to any place and pay is only based on how far you took it) then definitely give the CargoDist option a try. Every passenger (

The key to doing this is an email provider that will let you do a catch all account. Every email that doesn’t match a known mailbox gets delivered to the catch all mailbox. This allows you to “create” new addresses with zero overhead by jus

This seems to suggest that while the Studio Display can be driven at 5K by a raw DisplayPort signal (which is great) the audio signal is routed over USB rather than the Displayport audio channel. That is unfortunate, I was hoping to at leas

I’m always curious about this sentiment. I find gas really bad feeling to cook on. Gas stoves are very difficult to keep clean. The surfaces can’t easily double as counter space. All the waste heat makes my kitchen hot and pot handles hot (

As noted in the other comments here, you are likely thinking of coil based resistive electric stoves and not induction. Induction stoves have no warm up period, change heating amounts instantly like gas stoves and have a ton of other benefi

I had the opposite thought. SLS/Artemis is a “new human space program” that includes a new launch vehicle and it is hopelessly unaffordable and off schedule. SpaceX developed one of the most affordable human launch systems ever made, i

We love our induction stoves, but definitely have had issues finding ones that have good controls. A lot of the cheap units don't have much granularity in heat settings, but the higher end ones have gas-like, nearly continuous options.

We primarily cook on induction and (for us) it solves all of the issues with traditional electric and all the issues we have with gas. It can really be the best of most worlds (efficient, fast, precise, easy to clean). I do understand that

Definitely seconding this experience. Induction is great for lots of reasons, indoor pollution only being one. The small cheap portable induction units have a number of tradeoffs that are not inherent to induction itself, but are more relat

I believe negative carbon emissions are typically done via projects like carbon capture (various methods) and regulatory credits (essentially paying other people to reduce their emissions).
