    The YASA axial flux motors benefit from much shorter windings and direct oil cooling which gives an unparalleled performance proposition. A 200kW peak-power radial motor, run conti…

    Since you're already using Tasker, you could use it to launch Tailscale on the phone at boot - I've got mine set to do this so my phone reconnects to tailscale after a reboot.

    Is the WiFi enabled, or does it just have a blue icon behind it?

    Could it be an interaction between static electricity from the balloon and tiny elements in the ear?

    I thought you could go between heavy and light oil cyclically, but I think the recipes I'm thinking of are from UltraCube. The others are a subset of nuclear (Kovarex and reprocess…

    You've landed on an excellent garden path sentence, as shutters, cap, and table are all both nouns and verbs!

    I'm not talking about importing transactions, that's not a feature I use because it'd take longer than entering manually if you did it daily. I'm talking about the scheduled transa…

    You automate all the recurring things (this is built into Gnucash), enter the non-recurring things (takes a minute or two a day if that day even had any transactions) and reconcile…

    That's the heading, the title is still "small staff" for me. The heading is what shows at the top of the page, you'll see the page title in the browser tab's name among other place…

    They don't have to worry about SLAs if they just never acknowledge that they had any downtime!

    It's a school - write or find a comprehensive set of instructions (for the happy path), give each student a chromebook and a blank USB, and have them do it. You get usable laptops …

    Steam is there, with Proton, and Lutris. It's almost a better experience than the twelve different launchers situation I left behind (though they're annoying in very different ways…

    F6 works too, and you can press it again to unfocus it (TIL)

    It doesn't get the chance to build up in a laptop because of the fan. A 20W phone fast charger gets much hotter than a laptop, even though they should only be wasting a couple of w…

    Very similar to my setup! I really like my Beelink, I was initially sceptical because it was so cheap. I run Pi-Hole, Tailscale, Photoprism, Syncthing, and Terraria, amongst other …

    Why would you expect to get the same answer to those two questions? They're completely different, and answering Yes to 1 and No to 2 is self-consistent. Or do you mean that respond…

    Same earlier, but I can now get it to work very intermittently, with the error "Uh oh! Servers are behind, scaling up..."

    Tailscale only allows you to create a new account by signing in with Google, Microsoft or GitHub. It's a real shame because it's a great service otherwise, but this left a very sou…

    That's really weird then. I'm often in Thailand and Google's never tried to change my interface language, though it does keep suggesting videos in Thai.

    Have you checked what Accept-Language header you're sending? Eg on http://myhttpheader.com/
