If you’re thinking of the portable battery marketed as ‘solid state’ then that was a scam - a teardown revealed it was just lithium cells
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 1 week ago:
Sometimes the sun doesn’t shine, sometimes the wind doesn’t blow. Renewables are great and cheap, but they aren’t a complete solution without grid level storage that doesn’t really exist yet.

How about billion Gigabytes, or million Terabytes?

- Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers 2 months ago:
Hmm, the fact that they specifically prohibit even WAPs is going to be a problem too. Do you have the earlier conversation in writing? I’d go back to whoever you spoke to before and ask them about it.
- Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers 2 months ago:
Looks like that tos is just for the wifi network, if you’ve got an ethernet port then that won’t be using the wifi.
- Comment on Star Labs recently revealed the StarBook 7 a 14-inch beauty 2 months ago:
They have a disassembly guide and the 1 year warranty isn’t voided by replacing parts (or changing firmware). I can’t speak to parts availability.
- Comment on Proxmox on Laptop, Network Setup 4 months ago:
You’d probably be better off picking a normal distro and then running QEMU to run Windows or other VMs. Proxmox is more comparable to VMware ESXi in that it is designed for running server VMs and managed through a web ui.
- Comment on Proxmox on Laptop, Network Setup 4 months ago:
When you say you want to use proxmox as your daily driver, what sort of things are you wanting to do with it? Are you going to be spending most of your time inside a WM, and want to be able to switch to a different VM? I’m struggling to see your use case.
- Comment on Can I sync "stars" for my music between devices without a server? 4 months ago:
Yes, Picard should be able to add the tag, flac support is great
- Comment on Can I sync "stars" for my music between devices without a server? 4 months ago:
Depending on which format your music is in you can store a star rating in the metadata of the file.
- Comment on Server for a boat 4 months ago:
This sounds like a job for a raspberry pi 5 with an m.2 hat for storage, software is a less important choice here, so ubuntu’s raspberry pi flavour would be my choice. Just make sure you give it power in a form it likes.
- Comment on New weapon being developed to blast drones out of sky with radio waves, says MoD 6 months ago:
Enough to make sure that whatever you’re zapping stays zapped. Similarly with the DragonFire laser they showed off recently that costs £10 per shot, the cost effectiveness makes these tools much more viable against cheap drone swarms than a £1000,000 missile

Jellyfin has ebook support and allows you to download them for offline reading, which I reccommend because the ebook viewer is very basic
- Comment on Record waiting times for cancer treatment in the UK while King Charles begins treatment within days of diagnosis 9 months ago:
Are we going to pretend that any other form of head of state wouldn’t also get priority treatment?
- Comment on Record waiting times for cancer treatment in the UK while King Charles begins treatment within days of diagnosis 9 months ago:
I agree with you, I just think that the king isn’t a good example of this because he’d be getting priority treatment no matter what; he’s the head of state
- Comment on Record waiting times for cancer treatment in the UK while King Charles begins treatment within days of diagnosis 9 months ago:
I agree that it would be better if the NHS was able to treat everyone with the same response that the King has received. I just don’t see what this has to do with anything: If he had decided to use the NHS and get the normal waiting time the system would be just as broken.
- Comment on Record waiting times for cancer treatment in the UK while King Charles begins treatment within days of diagnosis 9 months ago:
Head of State: Receives treatment for cancer Everyone else: Angry
It’s all very well going on about the widening wealth divide, the head of state is going to get priority treatment no matter how long or short the waiting lists are
