Adding Solar to More Devices

I never understood why this wasn't more common already. Most calculators I've run into are solar powered; but I've almost never seen tv remotes, timers, thermometers/humidity meters, or other similar devices with solar cells powering them.

Why not? Seems like an obvious solution...

TBF you'd probably get even more benefit from de-bloating that PC then. Free up some processing power for the tasks you actually want, instead of doing Microsofts bidding in the background all the time.

But we've all got different plans/priorities/timelines. Best of luck to you m8!

If the liquid leaking from your boobs is a dark purple; you might want to find an exorcist...

No time like the present!

I shifted all my important data to an external disk, wiped the main ssd, slapped Debian on there, then moved the data back. Great way to spend an afternoon.

I'm so glad I purged windows from my systems this year.

Go fuck yourself Microsoft.

There are those that build entirely by hand; but the more common method is to use tools/mods like MCEdit to copy+paste whole sections of blocks. Then you can just build out one of each logic gate/larger section and copy+paste it all together into the full creation bit by bit.

The only thing that came to mind is charging cordless tool batteries between job sites. Most other things you'd want mobile usually has a 12v alternative, if not being explicitly designed for travel.

It really is a stupid limitation, and I'm mostly sure it's there just as an excuse to not payout warranty claims.

Oh, most definitely. Tracking battery wear should 100% be standard practice, and considered when buying/selling used EVs.

I just find it interesting that Tesla tells you to do something, then ultimately punishes you for doing so.

If you're not supposed/allowed to use it as a stationary power station; don't advertise that use case as a selling point.

The Cybertruck explicitly advertises its 120/240vac inverter for 'job site tools' and other similar uses; then voids your warranty if you actually use it 'while stationary'.

Here's Louis Rossmann ranting about it for a bit.

Any idea when a fix might make it into Jerboa?

This is getting really frustrating to deal with every day...

/edit; ask and you shall receive... Woke up to a new update. Fingers crossed it fixes this crash :D

If SpaceX moves, and it's worker's are unwilling/unable to move; does that grant them severance?

I'd take that out.
