I’m still banned from there after saying, regarding Eneloop batteries, the white ones are better than the black ones (if you need slower self discharge.)
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 3 weeks ago:
This tower has about a 20km radius on average due to topography, covers a stretch of the New England Highway and also covers the nearby village of Black Mountain. A good few hundred phones will be in range I expect.
The tower also has cells for Optus and Vodafone, but they are a significant minority of customers in this area.

Well, they do break guitars…
- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 3 weeks ago:
For cell / mobile phones, you’re sharing the capacity of the cell among multiple people.
In this example, a rural cell tower can provide up to 395Mbps.
It would only take 40 people watching Kayo at high definition (or any high definition video service) via their phone or a 4G router to saturate this tower.
For everyone else at this time, it’ll still work but even though they might have a strong radio signal (lots of bars), the internet will become slow.

Not sure about the science…
- Comment on Cereal 1 month ago:
I remember the 80s ads where the right side of the letter K was imposed over a woman in profile’s lips on a gaping mouth.
Something along the lines of “Special K keeps you looking good.”
- Comment on Grid-scale batteries: They’re not just lithium 1 month ago:
Yes, but with a limited cycle life of typically 300 or so, significantly reduced if the battery is ever more than 50% discharged.
- Comment on Youtube has fully blocked Invidious 1 month ago:
UraniumBlazer is using contractions such as u instead of you.
Back in the early days of texting, this saved time, and potentially money as well since you paid for each 144 (or was it 160) characters.
- Comment on Youtube has fully blocked Invidious 1 month ago:
T9 was a rapid entry system for sending texts using a number pad on a phone.
Instead of doing hello as 44 33 555 555 666 you could do 43556 and it’d predict ‘hello’.

They grew up before t9.

Just run memmaker.exe?
- Comment on I want an AI TV that blocks all forms of advertising. 2 months ago:
I use npvr with comskip.exe and it does a fairly reasonable job of taking the ads out of free to air TV.
You can see in the timeline where it’s detected ads, but you can use the mouse or arrow keys to still play those areas if it got it wrong.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Whatever you get, avoid running it at 100% brightness. This will likely extend its lifespan.

- Comment on Lemmy wouldn't really takeoff to replace Reddit until it's content is search indexable 2 months ago:
I don’t think I’ll ever take off while it’s called Lemmy. It’s just not a word that sounds ‘good’ in my opinion.
