My parents in Ireland have just put solar on their roof. They have a battery and plan for an electric car to replace their ice next year. Their power bill is now in credit and it’s winter time. They now think they could last 3 days without power in an outage and 7 days if they didn’t wash and dry clothes.

Solar is always weather dependent. Ireland is not hot and often is cloudy, but there is daylight and that makes power. It comes down to economics and they work, it seems.

I’ve seen gloves with tips on the fingers for using touch screens!

LG has both so it keeps your options open. Some tvs don’t have either or both and you need a seperate box to act as your client.

Some people prefer not to connect their smart tv and instead connect a box they have more control over. I find the LG app to be perfectly good for me and prefer to keep it simple and just block other network access.

I have an LG. They have a jellyfin app. Just block the access to other stuff and it’s fine, if not actually good.

I don’t use or need a seperste streaming box. I don’t get data mining or ads.

While in the background they are.picoring to other trade agreements and even china as a more reliable trade partner. That’s also complex as there is concern that china is cannibalizing the manufacturer market. They used to only be considered low end but are now able to reliably make middle and high end products. Some chinese brands are now premium brands.

No, but your comment implies it would be higher, even if that wasn’t your intention.

If the demand increases enough, more factories will be built. Right?

Except most people think it’s a bubble, so won’t risk building and the cost to build factories that technical is so large that most big companies outsource it, never mind new entrants.

I suspect instead well move more towards a data on demand kind of thing. We don’t need the same thing stored in millions of copies worldwide. Cheaper connectivity and containerization should help, I’d think.

It will start with rarely used large files like isos, which are already pretty efficiently distributed but then move to more and more, like cdns do for web already.

I’m just hypothesizing…I’ve nothing to base it on, but it seems redundant to have so much duplication.

As an immigrant to Australia, who loves Eurovision from my past life in Europe, it’s actually pretty rational. There is a public broadcaster here, that has broadcasts for minority populations, called SBS. It has news broadcasts in Greek, Italian and other languages. It has European media. It is supposed to be an alternative voice but also to address the high immigrant population here that want news from home, going back to ww1. They have consistently broadcast Eurovision and only have been a competitor in recent years.

I have. It’s become more common. I see the same for gluten free and vegan etc products.

I assume some good tasting products get avoided as people assume they are inferior due to alternative ingredients so they downplay it in the hope that their market share grows. Obviously, those looking for those products will be on the lookout for the label.

It’s capitalism, still. You get a product you didn’t want by deception that is legal.

Because they did it on every other item they sell with a screen and internet connection.

It’s nitnjustbthatbthey show ads, it’s that they track you and show you ads based on that data.

When he realised the feature exposed them, he pulled it.

Yes, but rather than self praise, it seems to me like it’s being effusive and polite. As in, I’m not trying to be disruptive, please accept this kind gesture.

Yes but we shouldn’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

A fork is great, but the more a fork deviates, the more issues there are likely to be. Firefox is already at low enough numbers that it’s not really sustainable.

I wish it was a clear pption in my browser.

The passkey is only passed on with an unlocked device. So, if someone stole your passkey device, they can’t copy it and use it without unlocking.

Or rather, making security convenient leads to adoption. Making it inconvenient leads to insecure workarounds.

This is because everyone doesn’t have batteries. The spot price is already free or negative at those times. It is to encourage people to time their appliances like washing machines to operate at that time, so there is less power need at other times. People still need to pay a connection fee (grid fee) and would pay for usage at other times.

I wonder if batteries will be allowed of you’re in the scheme. It would make car charging particularly attractive too.

If the jury had any faith in the legal system, they would have found him guilty and he should be sentenced to 30 seconds.

However, they clearly didn’t. The fact that this came this far is ridiculous. The police officer lying was a much larger crime.

From what I’ve seen, it looks like it’s staggered based on metrics to be delivered to trigger it. I hope they approve it, which causes the share price to crash and then he destroys his wealth in the greedyprocess and doesn’t get any of it.
