You can, but it's usually a larger difference. A car that might be negotiated down to $5k or $6k on the private market, will probably be at $9k-$10k on the dealer lot. Plus they'll…

Are there any utilities that have progressive rates electricity rates? Where the first X kWh are $0.12/kWh, the next Y kWh are $0.15/kWh, and then anything over Z kWh are $0.18/kWh…

Motorcycles only seem cheap. Factor in a proper set of gear, like helmet, jacket, pants, and gloves, and you're up another $1k. Also note that maintenance intervals are more freque…

They may not have the best prices at every point in time, but they consistently have good deals. There are several price trackers out there; Keepa and CamelCamelCamel are the big o…

For what it's worth, been buying from Amazon for the past 15 years or so, and not once received a counterfeit product. Granted, I still don't like they they mix up their inventory,…

Ikea has products at just about every price category. The cheap stuff is cheap, the more expensive stuff is nicer. There's something for everyone.

Fantastic work! Never would have expected an indicator led on a washing machine to also contain a phototransistor for their diagnostic interface.

Remember, folks. When the robots take over, just say, "I give up."

To those wondering about tire wear: "Despite the slightly higher levels of tire wear from EVs, brake dust was found to be more unhealthy, as brake dust is much more likely to becom…

Yeah, no. Most homes are in the range of 1.500.000 to 2.500.000 kroner. There are some homes closer to 1.000.000 kroner that need repairs or remodeling. You are not buying anything…

Most of these drones have wide angle cameras for navigation and obstacle avoidance. They would need to be within a couple of feet of a window to actually see what's going on inside…

Well said. I like the hurricane analogy. It's naive to think that it can be ignored. It will come around and affect you, and at that point, it might be too late.

It certainly feels like enforcement is down. I've noticed a lot more entitled behavior, like drivers blowing through red lights or cutting up on the shoulders. Another thing I've n…

Yarn has definitely gone up in price. Acrylic yarn is fine to get into knitting. However, if you'd like to try some better quality, it'll cost you. Knitting a blanket with cheap ya…

Some of the examples are references from the shows on Nebula. That one is likely from HAI Crime Spree. "Enter the Snack Zone" is from Jet Lag: The Game.

Right side, by a large margin. Better word choice and more natural flow. It feels a lot more human.

It seems like a retaliatory move regarding the potential ban. If lawmakers are going to assert that DJI drones threats to national security, might as well disable the built-in geof…

I'd argue that new, low-end laptops are in the $300-$400 range. Most people would be better served by a new laptop, instead of a decade old refurb. Sure, basic tasks might not need…

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Especially the border artwork–the level of detail in some of the sketches, the choice to use plants to tie in the advertisements together.…

It's one thing to have a camera giving an overview of a roadway. It's another to a camera that is reading license plates, that can be tied back to individuals. I'm not sure how muc…

Seasonic's product lines are relatively simple to figure out. They haven't changed in years, except with the addition of the Vertex line. At the very least, they're easier to under…

Consider attending 38C3: https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/infos/startpage.html Edit: Looks like it's completely sold out. Maybe next year?
