On YouTube I watch a guy Jay Legere who installed a Bluetti solar and battery system. I think that Anker has a system too.

If you have a few grand about, there are company that sell very easy to use kits that are quite handy.
- Comment on Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations 6 days ago:
This AI tech, smat-home, cloud compute etc would all be amazing if we could trust that it wasn’t built to harvest us.
We, the people, have become the Commons.

It’s an old meme, but it does check out.

Yeah, but they aren’t Canadian.
- Comment on Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android 2 weeks ago:
Probably not me. Most of the recorded incidents are against Chinese families that have emigrated.
I complain about the CCP here and there, but not likely enough for any attention to be warranted.
- Comment on Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android 2 weeks ago:
Except that there are credible reports of the CCP running police operations on foreign soil.

Their repos have been frozen since Feb. No security patches, no upgrades?!?

Black fly in wine. Never heard that before, where does it come from?

That was yesterday. It doubled since then IIRC

Americans have a history of the most insidious manipulations in the politics of other nations - did you see their Sec. of state try commemorate the CIA backed coup of Cuba.
About “crying” over foreign interference, you are wrong. In the last 4 years France, Canada, Germany, Romania, Sri-Lanka, Australia, all of the Baltic nations andore have a had credible complaints of attempts from foreign nations trying to use propaganda and more to influence elections.
Let’s not try to convince ourselves than only the Americans are misbehaving.

I think that someone missed a /s in this thread.
- Comment on Hong Kong’s oldest pro-democracy party is shutting down as Beijing leaves no room for dissent 4 weeks ago:
Lots of strong democratic events over the last 50 years though. There is hope still.
- Comment on Hong Kong’s oldest pro-democracy party is shutting down as Beijing leaves no room for dissent 4 weeks ago:
Ironic response. Response said that the wrong word was used, but personally point was not addressed.
- Comment on Hong Kong’s oldest pro-democracy party is shutting down as Beijing leaves no room for dissent 4 weeks ago:
Except the organization in question says that they are shutting down because they can’t. 95% of ppl from Hong Kong don’t want $emocratic politics?
- Comment on Hong Kong’s oldest pro-democracy party is shutting down as Beijing leaves no room for dissent 4 weeks ago:
Oh no, they used a word in a way I didn’t like - I guess their opinion about personal freedom and representation are completely invalid.
Ad Hominem much?
Chinese people deserve the freedom to express their political views.
- Comment on China scientists develop flash memory 10,000× faster than current tech 4 weeks ago:
Can we not bother deciding who was the biggest nightmare, and instead focus on finding models for the best countries.
I am so sick of the “at least the USSR had…” or “at least China does…” conversation. Can’t we have a “Finland has high happiness, broad socialist protections, and a fast moving economy” kind of conversations.

Has anybody tried the HA voice hardware. Not sure how it works (does it use a cloud AI?)
- Comment on China now faces 245% Trump tariff 5 weeks ago:
It’s just such an asinine way to go down.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 5 weeks ago:
I blame these f’ing phone keyboards and autocorrect. I can’t see what I am touching, I can’t feel it, there’s no feedback, and I have to look up while I type. Whoever came up with approach deserves… A bad case of indigestion.
- Comment on Lemmy has the ideal number of posts for me. Just enough to have a good time but not too many that I'm scrolling forever 5 weeks ago:
There is also a place to politely challenge others, especially when you see more out on a long (touchy) expressions.
I describing myself there on that limb as well of course. I’ve found myself well challenged several times on a limb.
- Comment on Chinese chip giants say they don't care about U.S. tariffs — many don't sell to the U.S. anyway due to existing sanctions 5 weeks ago:
For this number, is it related to the Chinese government GDP numbers, or independently measured? My understanding is that the CCP use GDP differently that the West, in that they release numbers which are prescriptive estimates and goals, as opposed to statistical results.

I’m also enjoying participating in forums I would never touch in any other medium. I find the people that I disagree with have much better points, with significantly fewer radicals, idiots or crusaders.

You are likely correct.
- Comment on The one good thing about all this 1 month ago:
Did Japan and SK actually announce collaboration with China, or was it only China that said that they are working together?

Whole parts of Eastern Europe still transport Steam for heating.

Why is that better than usb-c?
- Comment on China Just Turned Off U.S. Supplies Of Minerals Critical For Defense & Cleantech 1 month ago:
What’s funnier is that the Americans could have dropped Chinese raw materials if they had built a collaboration before tariffing China, but the current Government have only one tactic: try to bully everyone at once. They really did make their own mess.

Yes please.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 1 month ago:
I inherited a switch from someone who wasn’t using it and was blown away by the prices for the majority of games on it. They were charging AAA prices for Mario titles. If they had priced their Mario. Zelda titles at half the price, those things would have dominated before the SteamDeck’s came out. The switch is barely used.
