- Comment on Fossil Fuel Interests Ramp Up Their “Solar Makes Electricity More Expensive” Falsehood 4 weeks ago:
Unfortunately there is some truth to this. It will make it more expensive for people who don’t have solar because the company needs to be paid. Think of the poor CEO’s!
Also someone has to pay to keep the grid up to date. (Well they are supposed to)
- Comment on UPS and servers : simulated sine wave good? 4 weeks ago:
PFC is in the power supply. The bios doesn’t control it. Only servers may have this control.
Try running some equipment that needs extra load from the UPS. TV? Gaming system? Again could just be an issue with the UPS.
- Comment on UPS and servers : simulated sine wave good? 4 weeks ago:
Some systems just need a pure sine wave UPS. Especially high grade server hardware. But test the UPS with other computers, it could just be faulty.
- Comment on USA President term limits 2 months ago:
He didn’t win the popular vote first time so they’ll argue he wasn’t “elected” then.
- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 2 months ago:
Also on motorbikes you are more stable at high speed so better to hit a dog at speed than slow down which could lead to person behind you hitting you or you crashing.
- Comment on Sympathy for their PTSD 3 months ago:
Well when he said “this is terrorism” he was correct. Just that it’s the IDF terrorizing innocent people.
- Comment on New data reveals thousands of Australians who own 10 rentals or more 3 months ago:
I have no issue with 2. But they have to live in it for part of the year. If someone wants a summer home that they earn after working hard then why deny them.
However any more houses should be taxed at a rate that makes them untenable.

Yep. All the headless automation broke…
- Comment on NIST proposes barring some of the most nonsensical password rules 4 months ago:
My company blocked ssh keys in favour of password + 2FA. Honestly I don’t mind the 2FA since we use yubikeys, but wouldn’t ssh key + 2FA be better?
- Comment on Question, anybody know who NiGHTS is? 5 months ago:
I had the original game and loved it. Initially hated it because it wasn’t what I was expecting, but since I paid so much I played it and got into it. Fun game.
- Comment on Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG? 5 months ago:
I bought god of war on sale. Never played it. And couldn’t get a refund because I was outside the window. Shame on me for having adult responsibilities and not knowing that nvidia were going to remove it from GeForce now. :(

I thought this was a new hip smiley I didn’t know about until I read the article :)
- Comment on Why are so many leaders in tech evil? 5 months ago:
Everything over a certain amount should be taxed 100%. Not everything. But also there should be a substantial house tax on mansions. And a higher house tax if you own more than one property.
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 5 months ago:
Yeah. Same here. It’s amazing how many people feel entitled to things for free.

Who is paying for it so?
- Comment on BMW Adaptive Suspension Can Be Added via Subscription. Suspension As A Service (SAAS) 5 months ago:
Inverter + install + testing. It’s deep in the car so a lot has to come out (I was told).
- Comment on BMW Adaptive Suspension Can Be Added via Subscription. Suspension As A Service (SAAS) 5 months ago:
I know, but in the past the independent dealers didn’t have to deal directly with BMW for fixes. Now with all the authentication needed you can’t just get a replacement part from anywhere any more. Similar to how Apple locked down its batteries, BMW is doing the same.
- Comment on BMW Adaptive Suspension Can Be Added via Subscription. Suspension As A Service (SAAS) 5 months ago:
I’m never buying a BMW again. I had an electric i3 which had an inverter (charger) failure. BMW wanted €12k to fix it. Thankfully an independent offered to do it for 4K. But BMW still wanted 3K just to plug it in and authenticate the new block. Nothing else, just “bless” it. Made the fix cost-prohibitive so we just had to scrap the car. The battery, which most people fear, was fine on this 8 year old car.
- Comment on TitanFall 2 at 3$ 5 months ago:
I bought the game. Then immediately pirated it so I wouldn’t have to install this EA crap.
- Comment on Sonos CEO apologizes for disastrous rollout of new app 6 months ago:
I was starting to think there was something wrong with my setup. Glad it wasn’t just me! Hopefully they’ll fix it. Better they be upfront and admit the mistake.

What vegetables?
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale - Top Deals 6 months ago:
I got overcooked 1. It was over difficult and felt too much like work and not fun like a game should be. Maybe 2 is better but I’ve no incentive to try it out.
- Comment on Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery | The Model Y’s 12-volt battery, which powers things like the doors and windows, died 7 months ago:
Agree. The only worry is the flying glass might hurt the child.
- Comment on The New Audi A3 Is Amess With In-Car Subscriptions 10 months ago:
Or don’t buy it and support the brand?
- Comment on unRaid is NOT switching to a subscription model 11 months ago:
Try Emby. Hardware acceleration works out of the box. It is paid though but I’m very happy with it for past few years.
- Comment on unRaid is NOT switching to a subscription model 11 months ago:
I have similar setup but without PROXMOX. I tried it but never saw the benefit. Using ZFS for bitrot protection.
- Comment on Services to host on a retired laptop? 11 months ago:
Syncthing isnt a backup. Its just a synchronisation tool. If you delete a file it gets deleted everywhere.
- Comment on Apple employees outnumbered customers at Vision Pro launch in San Francisco's Union Square 11 months ago:
They are probably just being pedantic and saying “but those punters didn’t buy so they aren’t customers…”
- Comment on YSK about the condensation pipe on your gas furnace 1 year ago:
Regarding your comment on insulation. It’s amazing how many people don’t realise that insulation is important in cold and warm climates. Keeps the cold out or the heat out, reducing all bills!

I thought it was already released in EU.
