Brocycle I gotta say social anxiety is f’in hard if you go to any gathering. Kudos to your friend for asking for help and at least showing up. Most people just make up some excuse why they can’t come, or they awkwardly come in, stand in a corner somewhere or cling to anyone they already know all night.
If you get into this situation, best thing you can do is introduce your buddy to someone they might get along with and get them started. If the conversation gets going, you can just go. If the convo dries up, they’ll find you again.

I have the T6 as my main but I cannot do per-room heating because my Sonoff TRV’s cannot talk to it in HA. I got the T6 before working with HA though. In my country the T6 is WiFi and you need the Resideo app.

For anyone seriously considering this: how the fuck did you end up with that kind of money in your early twenties? Either you’re business savvy in which case you won’t consider this or daddy’s rich in which case you should talk to your dad first.

Just here to note that the name Wild Geerters is a spoof of Geert Wilders, the leader of the Dutch far right party PVV.

They say there are no plans to develop for Windows at this time
- Comment on The great tracker blocker conundrum 1 month ago:
My biggest issue with Ladybird is that I will have to switch to Linux. I know Windows sucks and everything but the way I use my pc I need Windows. It has excellent audio processing support, drivers that just work, gaming is a lot more complete especially since I have an Nvidia GPU but the most important one is I have the HP G2 which uses Windows Mixed Reality.
If Vivaldi’s ad blocker does somehow stop functioning and they will become just another chronium browser, I’ll just try to install AdGuard on my Linux server again but it’s difficult if you use Docker and Nginx.

So what remains? Firefox or one of its forks? I’ve tried Pale Moon for a while, didn’t really fit
- Comment on The great tracker blocker conundrum 1 month ago:
I’ve taken to Arc for my Windows desktop and keeping a close eye on Ladybird. Vivaldi has become something unwieldy anyway, it’s moving away from what it once was: a simple, fast and privacy centered browser.
Ladybird is still a ways away though and Arc doesn’t have sync between desktop and mobile yet.

I got it running in 1080p once, you can just do a custom resolution in some config file.
They should have never made a new Most Wanted, they should have taken the old one, added more recent cars and add better graphics. Instead they destroyed the whole vibe.

- Comment on China's GNE develops lithium-sulfur battery with energy density of 700Wh/kg - Energy Storage 3 months ago:
While it is definitely true that China puts a lot of questionable electronics into the world, it is still a country with a huge amount of ‘independent’ tech researchers. Independent in the sense that they pretty much have to keep it all within Chinese circles.
If you compare it to South Korea, they are on the forefront of certain mainstay innovation tracks by cooperating narrowly with researchers from their target demographic, like the United States. The Chinese don’t have that luxury, yet they are conducting the research by buying products from Japan, the US, Korea and Europe, deconstructing and then reconstructing them. For Europe and the US, this is highly illegal due to patent law.
Thing is, though: there are loads of brilliant Chinese people due to its sheer size. It’s a numbers game, if you have a 1bn population, the top of the line folks are going to be numerous. Most of them get their education somewhere outside China and then bring all the knowledge back to their own unis and companies.
It’s really no surprise China has made one of the best electric car, how a company like Xiaomi is present virtually everywhere and Huawei got so far, the US and Europe really had to take a good look if their tech wasn’t just a massive spy program. Tencent is so huge, most telco and gaming companies have some collaboration with it. ByteDance is the supplier of the number one spyware app ever with over a billion users worldwide who are happy to provide them with tons of data.
This is without even mentioning that most of your electronics are made in China anyway, which has given them the edge of seeing exactly how the sausage is made, sausage in this case being lithium batteries. They have figured out long ago that if they can become the sole supplier of batteries, they will be in all devices around the world. They have been keeping an eye on Africa to get a foothold in the lithium mines and they have figured out cobalt is the difficult part. They don’t really care about the toxicity and the child labour, but the scarcity and mining difficulties are a concern. So they tried to replace it with all kinds of materials and sulfur seems to be a very promising alternative, and it is as abundant and easy as sand.
The Chinese know what they’re doing and if not for our ideological differences, they could have easily surpassed the United States as the de facto power that everyone follows blindly.

Dunno about this company specifically but Li-S shows a lot ff promise for energy density - there are just some complex hurdles. Article about Li-S

My A52s has a built-in function to not let it charge above 80. I keep it on unless I need the extra 20% for instance when I’m away for a while.
