FFS, what’s wrong with you dumbasses? Watching YouTube on your phone or on the instrument cluster is fucking insane and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Seriously, I don’t care if you’re joking or not, grow the fuck up.
Eye strain is no laughing matter. Use a tablet.

I have a lot of time for Eaton kit. As others have said, not cheap but seems to work well. I’ve not used APC in a while but they used to make good hardware, even if their software was dogshit.

I always keep my cars spotless. Slightly scented, never more than a little dusty, some dirt on the carpets but nothing more.
Now my home, on the other hand. That’s a fucking pigsty.

Yeah. They went from counting pixels by rows to columns. A 16:9 widescreen 1080 display is 1920×1080, and most manufacturers are happy to call 1920 “2K”.

I’ve never seen these used for condiments, but I used to see these being used all the time on soap dispensers in workshops.

🤓 ACKSHUALLY
It’s not possible for a heat pump - or anything - to even be 100% efficient, let alone 400%. Efficiency is measure of how much of the input energy gets converted to useful output energy, and since heat pumps don’t actually create heat the useful output is the compressor’s ability to pump refrigerant about. The Coefficient of Performance - the ratio between energy put in and useful work done - is 400% for a heat pump (give or take).

When you’re not home it becomes part of the alarm system. When you are home it can turn on the lights or heating (or extractor fan in the bathroom) and you can aggregate it with other sensors to measure occupancy to turn those things off again. If you use Home Assistant (or something like it) you can use it to go anything that can be inferred from a door being used.

Don’t listen to him. Sure it may take a few hours a day over the course of a month or so to get right, but with the time you’ll save from all that automation you’ll break even in a few hundred years - and they it’s all gravy!

You’ll pay through the nose, but look at digital signage panels. They are bristling with I/O, configurable to the nth degree, wonderfully over-engineered and utterly free from bloat.

A phone would be a bit much, but an ereader with a solar charger loaded up with Wikipedia and a chunk of Project Gutenberg would probably last with a bit of care.

That’s a joke-turned-plot element from one of the Hitchhiker’s Guide books. The protagonist, a human everyman stranded with a primitive culture on a distant world realises he has no idea how electricity, steam engines, medicine, etc works but he becomes a respected member of their community by making sandwiches.

So to be clear: there is no correlation between weed use and hotdog use, other than that they’re both in decline. This means that they created this graph showing two unrelated datasets for no reason other than that they could. Or, maybe, because they wanted to use the cursed image of a spliff in a hotdog bun.

IF the phone can output enough power with it’s OTG port AND has the correct drivers for that cheap-ass looking USB framebuffer graphics thing AND that’s an active HDMI to VGA adapter rather than some shitty vendor-specific implementation based on some unholy bastardisation AND the phone supports external displays… then I still don’t think it’d work, tbh (but it won’t (it might though (it won’t))).

Every military in the world uses UTC so I’m gonna say that.
Otherwise, I’d go for UTC-1 because… well, look at it. There’s no way they could lose because there’s nothing there to lose. Nuke away, boyos, it’s all ocean.

Anyone else remember the B3ta newsletter? I mean, it’s still going, but still. Anyway, they ran a competition for a long time to get the work “bumsexual” printed in a newspaper. Not sure if anyone succeeded.

Not quite fully vertical, but I got a Microsoft Sculpt Mouse ten years ago and it was an overnight improvement. I fear the day it finally gives up the ghost.
