Same. I self-installed a 5.5kw solar system, fully permitted, in the Denver metro. The utility company (Xcel) had an easy online portal for submitting plans, a quick back and forth…

Reminds me of the Eye-Fi SD cards [0] that would store photos taken with your camera and then allow you to wirelessly over your network download photos from the camera, and later w…

You can. It’s a single checkbox on the printer UI that toggles between cloud control or local LAN control.

I’ll take the more positive angle that i appreciate sing a more diversified supply chain, no matter how small the change. You can’t lift and shift production off the entire widget …

The “under god” part always rubbed me wrong. I was surprised to learn it was added relatively recently in 1954. I wish we could go back to the prior one.

That's my challenge in Colorado. I installed a modest solar system (5kwh) in 2024 and was incredibly happy with the results. On any given 24 hour period it'd offset 40% of my elect…

I just finished a road trip from Colorado to SoCal by EV and this was the first trip where I didn’t once need an app to start charging. It was a nice change from my last one. Rivia…

I don't know answers to all of yours but the couple I do know... - The fixed DHCP addresses are found under Client Devices. Click the Globe icon above the search box (To the right …

I started looking at that to boost my roof solar capacity. It looks like it’s permitted by code where I’m at and now the only thing I’m unsure about is vandalism since my property …

Why a wet cloth?

Tesla windows are dual pane laminated glass now for acoustic reasons. Really great at keeping noise down, really difficult to break through.

Again, politics aside, I just find the lineup boring. Every model outside the Cybertruck looks like a ten year old car. Even the refresh of the model Y is still reskinning a design…

For those with Midea manufactured units (They white label so many brands) a great turnkey option is this dongle made by SMLight (1) that comes preloaded with ESPHome. 1 - https://s…

Any recommendations on where to read more about this? While his style never really engaged me, I never pegged him as being a terrible person.

Oddly bummed to see it fail. It was pretty fascinating to see during the day, how insanely bright the top of the tower was. It had lots of flaws (environmental impact and animal li…

Surprisingly well written and just detailed enough to not leaving wanting more or overwhelmed. I never really got in to ANT+ land with cycling but the couple things I tried I appre…

Denver as well. A handful of the florida locations have their second home here. It’s an interesting crowd compared to a bar. Social and very chill.

I’m not sure where I land on this yet. If the feature is 100% local to the car I’d like a one time purchase. If the feature relies on other services, such as manufacturers mapping …

I certainly didn’t. I remember getting cash as a young child, thinking with $20 I was “rich”, and rapidly blowing it on Sim City. I only understood the value of money once I both h…

I’m more curious about what change was introduced that omitted the label from a small number of packages.

The simplicity of this site is so exciting to me. I’m looking through the lens of nostalgia for the internet around 2000, but I often I wish we could return to this sort of world o…

High Voltage Direct Current https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_direct_current

I just self installed a 5.5kw system in Colorado. Based on quotes I got from installers the DIY approach saved me about $10k USD which is insane for what was a weekend of labor for…
