The diagram shows that they fall short on winter mornings

My own modelling to decide what size battery I want for my house says it’s easy almost every day, but when you have three rainy and overcast days in a row you need a battery far larger or an alternative. For me the alternative is the grid; at grid scale it’s gas generators

I use keepass, it’s a little more work than many closed source ones, but it’s only as online as you want it to be, and runs on anything

My “smart” bulbs are at the less online end of the spectrum, they host local wifi or bluetooth for configuration via their app, but even that can bite you

I added a wifi range extender to address the problem of stuff at one end of the house regularly losing connection and needed to point one of a particular brand at the new wifi

Its app hadn’t been updated and I needed to dig out my old phone stuck on an old version of Android to set the bulb up again

You lost a bit of credibility when you misspelt atoms

I use it mostly for family chats, I got the extended family to use it rather than Facebook Messenger

What makes you not trust signal as against WhatsApp?

What are the arguments

“Protect delicate children’s eyes from seeing nudity”

I think that’s about it

It even gets worse - I keep screen sessions open with one screen running root

Security and convenience balance, and if something has compromised my sudoer account they have root anyway

-i asks for an interactive session

I use sudo su because running su with no options also gets you an interactive session without having to type anything but letters and a space

Both of these are for when you want a session as root which is nearly never necessary, but sometimes it’s more convenient that a set of commands preceded by sudo

I use sudo su 'cause I can type it quicker than sudo -i

Not just that. The tax preparation industry has gotten tax more complex and harder to file in the US

You get the government you can afford. The tax preparation industry has been able to buy several governments

I wonder if Nintendo will ever embrace repairability like some phone companies have

I guess there’s more competition in phones than in devices that can run Mario Cart

Yeah, it is harder to do. Specifically

• you need to remove stickers in a way that you can replace them, if you want to keep them looking good
• You need to undo glue, iFixit used isopropyl alcohol and force
• Once you’re in its fairly easy to replace parts, but Nintendo don’t supply parts
• Batteries are glued down, you need to destroy the foam beneath them to get the batteries out, Nintendo don’t sell replacement foam, or even a specification for the foam

By being harder it will be more costly to repair

For most people: the more difficult, the more expensive to get fixed

Thanks to 3d printing I have litres of isopropyl. What sucks is you probably want to replace the glue since it’s there to protect against liquids, and Nintendo don’t care to provide a seal kit

You also need to remove stickers to get at the screws

Also you need a security screwdriver (three blade) for those screws

There are no replacement stickers, we wait for iFixit to provide guidance on adhesives

The guy doing the teardown recommended you wait until a third party company makes a drift proof module to replace the same as last version joystick decoders

I feel like I could succeed in an LLM selection process. I could sell my skills to a robot, could get an LLM to help.

It’s a long way ahead of keyword based automatic selectors

At least an LLM is predictable, human judges are so variable

Don’t expect to block stuff from Google while using Chrome. Google is [one of] the biggest advertising companies

I believe you’re (of you’re American) now allowed to rip DVD but not anything newer. DMCA protection was removed from CSS

And beyond the law it depends also on enforcement

The US doesn’t give a right to break Bluray copy protection and make a personal backup or access it on a device that otherwise couldn’t play it. But the only enforcement is on people sharing copies, no one is prosecuted for format shifting their collection to play over their LAN

Musk is a shit, but lying doesn’t help
