They could also use treated waste water for cooling the data centers instead of dumping it in the ocean.

Nobody is going to be able to sell any 3D printers in California or Washington if these bills pass. It’s impossible to prevent them from being easily modified. Anyone can replace the controller board with an open source one.

Hidden junk that a person wouldn’t see would likely be picked up by a screen reader. That would make the site much harder to use for a visually impaired person.

The clock is only useful if the time is correct. They could at least put a small super capacitor in there to keep the time during short power outages.

I wish they didn’t even have clocks. The darn thing resets every time there’s a big gust of wind.

It still works in Firefox if you switch to the desktop site. You can also use uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock with it to get rid of the ads.

So what’s the actual brightness? Peak brightness is meaningless since it doesn’t tell you how viewable it will be in sunlight.

Maybe we shouldn’t make most of the internet reliant on one company.

I would use point to point wireless links between the buildings. Then connect an access point to the link to provide WiFi to the building. Something like the Omada EAP211 should work well for the link.

Anything that relies on an internet connection that should be unnecessary is a bad idea.

The energy density of sodium-ion batteries keeps improving. They are getting pretty close to LiFePO4. Chinese EV manufacturers have started using them. Not everyone needs a super long range, especially in places where there are lots of charging stations available.

I think the future for EV batteries is going to be sodium-ion for quite a while. They are good enough for most people and the materials to make them are plentiful.

You’ll never fit the game in the boot sector of a floppy disk if you write it in python.

You can check tld-list.com to see who has the best prices.

I just renewed my .com for USD $11.08 and that’s not even the cheapest registrar. Some companies will absolutely rip you off on renewals though.

Are you using anything to defend against bots?

FAT32 is still a very common filesystem for flash drives and memory cards because it works on everything. Lots of people are likely to run into the 4GB file size limit.

Don’t leave cameras uncovered. Webcam covers are cheap. Tape works too.

There are some channels uploading several AI generated videos per hour 24/7. I’m surprised they don’t get banned.

Sure, their gear is a bit expensive, but their layer 3 switches are energy efficient and quiet. You can get an old, used switch for a lot less, but it will be expensive to run and the fans will be loud.
