Yeah it makes sense that they’re good at finding similar things.

Not super reliable, one road near me is 25mph and google says it’s 65mph.

It’s not because they’re dumb, it’s because it’s easy and because it’s the OS a computer comes with (with the tiny exception of some systems where you can choose linux).

Yeah, running a 240V 50A outlet in a garage in most homes would be fairly cheap, since it’s usually not going very far from the main panel. So might as well do it if you’re already spending a huge chunk of change on an electric car.

The last time we hired an electrician to run about 30 feet from a panel to a new 50A sub-panel across the shop for a project was around $800 IIRC.

If you uninstalled the app or disabled it, then it can’t run in the background.

makes me wonder what “services” are running in the background on my mobile.

A lot unless it’s a degoogled ROM, especially on non-Pixel phones like Samsung, they add a massive amount of background processes.

The forks won’t last long without firefox.

I’ve been using Zen which is nice and has some stuff removed that we don’t want.

But it’ll only be around as long as Firefox is around.

That’s also how you know it’s a cheap chinese phone lol, because all the high end flagships don’t have headphone jacks (other than Sony I suppose).

That’s what I’m wondering as well, how do we differentiate cooling towers and the heat from those vs actual exhaust emissions…

There are tons of rugged smartphones out there, also some brands that focus on easy to repair phones.

The fact that they’re not well known kind of shows that the majority of the market doesn’t really care about those things.

This was the browser that required an account to even start using, it was just ridiculous.

Number of external connections means little without context of the content and what they are for.

Zen also attempts to remove the telemetry that firefox has baked in.

But Zen also has features other than just vertical tabs that are really useful, like Glance.

Probably quite expensive, and when doing something as a hobby it’s often hard to get the funds.

The power draw will go up when a device is drawing power from it, but there will be base/idle draw of course as well.

Yeah Exos are enterprise drives, so there’s no point in making them quiet like they do with lower speed desktop stuff.

I doubt Signal is supported by their scheduling/desk software though, Telegram has pretty wide support.

Oh wow, the router allows Admin and SSH on the WAN port? That seems like a massive problem to start with.

WAN should allow nothing except established.

Does it even have push to mute with a keybind? It feels like their voice/video chat is super feature bare lol

Not great. It’s missing discord features like screen sharing and voice rooms (only sort of has them through a third party app, Jitsi, but that experience is… not great).

It also has moderation issues, lacking tools needed to keep spam out and easily control it when it does get in.

I recently deleted my account because there was a spam wave sending out room invites to anti-trans named rooms, and there’s no way to mass ignore, you have to click on every invite, click ‘ignore’ and wait like 15-30 seconds for the server to process.

Related to the above it has performance issues, a lot of UI actions wait for the server to respond, so just have a long delay to them making the user experience feel really crummy.

There are also a bunch of different client apps all with their own features, one will support X but not support Y and the other way around for another app, and there’s no guide on what app to use so that’s confusing.

Overall it feels like alpha or very early beta software, it works if you’re willing to deal with a lot of headache.
