The other day I saw 500W+ panels for under 100€ at a local building and DIY big box store, and Inverters 5Kw ( I think) for around 1000€. Battery prices haven't dropped much, so installation and batteries are the major cost here.

Are this and atomic habits related, or different strategies?

I had surgery three weeks back. The mood in the OR was good. As they were strapping me to the table for bone surgery on my femur, ( They were going to have to exert force, and I needed to be on my side), I asked them if tbay had all watched the youtube tutorials. Laughs ensued.

These things (and Seagate's) have the usb interface soldered on, so if the drivd dies, forget about the data, no way to connect to another usb adapter to try to recover. Granted, it's usually the drive that dies, but in these cases, you have a 100% rate of non recovery . Any other brand's are standard drives. My favorite are toshiba.

The idea that their "love" god kills, maims, allows horrendous birth defects, molestation, etc of children is one of the multiple proofs that god doesn't exist. Oh, and wasps and mosquitoes.

If you think its hard to do worse, you haven been paying attention to China

Not open source, but pro grade, often nicer to work with than adobe stuff. The Affinity suite. Pay once per major revision. Decent upgrade plans. No subscription. Designer, photo and publisher.

On a Linux desktop, obviously.

The 5 is already somewhat enshittified. The Non Standard USB power that makes you buy a propietary PS is one example (which I found out after buying one for my son).

I live in Spain. I've lived in the US. There is literally no reason to go to the US except to visit of for tourism. Quality of life, and having an excellent health care system, good wather, basically no gun problems (contrary to popular belief, I can own a lot of types of guns, even non-auto assault guns, they are just properly regulated) etc. I'm very employable , and would probably make 2-3 times as much as here, but have no real incentive.

I'm intact. I don't have to wash my dick hard, just pull the foreskin and wash. If anything I wash it more gently because it's more sensitive.

"unintentional harm to the members of WCK."

Pheeew! They were only harmed, not murdered.

Spain also hand counts. At each poll station there are three citizens recruited at random (sort of like jury duty) who run each ballot box. They check voter's credentials and cross off names from the list. The process is overseen by each parties appointed "overseers". The whole counting process must be validated by all. I prefer this method. Machines can be tampered with.

Why aren't Olympic games distributed between, let's say, 8-10 countries? Maybe make them continent games. Distribute the cost and benefits, and maybe make then bi-annual, fairer to athletes by enlarging the window of opportunity.

Fucking Cervantes was a badass marine who was shot three times in the battle of Lepanto, twice in the chest and one in his hand, which he lost. He was very proud of his military career, and considered th battle of Lepanto one if not the highlight of his life. He went on to write one of the most important novels of all times, Don Quixote, many others, as well as copious poetry.

If Cervantes were alive and heard this, he would probably beat the crap out of this asshole with his lame hand.

In my experience the drive fails more often than the adapter, but they do fail. Also, there is a good chance to recover data from a failed drive. With a soldered adaptor it's basically impossible. The worst part is that the externals are often used for backups.

Back in the day is half a millennium ago.

Banks, Insurance , etc. are ultraconservative as far as tech. They want ultra stable systems. I had an acquaintance that had a business reselling ATMs to banks. Banks had a hard time sourcing EOL ATMs or spares. I remeber a story about some specific 486s CPUs and SIMMs that sold for 1000s, due to not being sourceable new from any supplier, and being needed as replacements for certain ATMs

Banks and insurance companies are also scared shitless of something breaking during upgrades to systems that control billions in funds

Is every open source app audited? Look at the XZ near disaster. And XZ is pretty critical software. Open source doesn't mean it's safe by default, it means that the code can be read.

I'm almost a boomer. I started out in a Big Iron shop that mainly ran Cobol I haven't touched it in decades, and I was an Admin, so I barely touched the stuff. Now I could read the stuff, but not code a hello world.

A few years back a friend my age, who was a CS major, but had mainly been a mom for 2 decades returned to the job market, thinking that she faced an impossible task, that she had obsoleted herself. She was working within a week, maintaining Cobol at a bank, and making mint.

Not really. Gravity and windows work as expected

Two days ago my Mint system got borked by a kernel update. I booted from the grub menu with the prior kernel, and rolled back with Timeshift. Pretty painless. You don't need Atomic/immutable distros for that sort of reliability.

I'm playing with kinoite in a VM, though.

It's not bleeding anyone. My father was an airline flag carrier captain in Europe. He made what he called "an obscene paycheck". When taxes came around, he would say: look at what they are taking from me, I must be making a ton!

Also, a larger capacity one is better, and it's likely you'll find a secondhand one with more capacity/features for a similar price.

Actually Mint is un-enshittified Ubuntu

Warranty is not the only problem. I ordered a Vivobook for a client. Upon arrival, I opened it up to see if there was space for a rusty disk. No space. Opening that thing was scary. I had the impression that it was going to break any minute. The thing is so flimsy it's scary. I feels like it's made out of a plastic pizza container and aluminum foil.

Thankfully we are in Europe, warranties here have teeth, and are 2 years minimum by law.

no way!

I use Affinity photo. Great program, and has a very affordable pay once model, no subscription crap.

Or an ARCH user.

Wait. Am I not allowed to mess with stuff, use the terminal, compile, and all those things in Mint!?

Call the manager. I want my money back!

People assume that Boeing is behind this. I'm more inclined to believe that it's a major shareholder

Rpi 5 is overkill. You can probably do this with a Rpi zero W

Like washing?

So, you are a Russian troll. What I wonder is: are you paid, or dumb as a doorstop?

My 2 LGs do use WebOS, but I never use it. I have a raspberry pi for one, and the other one is my laptops second screen, so everything is fed from the laptop. I never see the TV's OS

Sony still makes phones, some super high end, bur their marketing sucks balls

The 10s are being held hostage by the 12.5/48.78 wrenches

No, that's hating the monochrome straight people flag

Yes, delay the submarine metamorphosis.

A Sharp?
