    I see the antenna points straight at ground and buttons. Is the wifi ok?

    Cost is a reason. You need to dig out that dirt (which is expensive), it needs supports, your house needs support around it/through it… Making things bulletproof and massive runs o…

    Practically speaking any person cannot maintain that for significant length of time. Dieting has like a 99% fail rate by year 2. It’s hard to maintain that for many people — your b…

    > cheap buck from 40~80V to e.g. 5V. That’s not a cheap buck lol. Order of magnitude more expensive then 12v not even mentioning capacitors that can withstand 80v is $$$ and your d…
