It's a normal outlet, and the power is limited to 800 watts. Batteries are entirely optional. The energy that gets used gets used, and what's left is fed upstream into the power network. Some people here don't have new energy meters but those old ferraris meters, and they actually may count backwards, so that's nice, too.

Cycling, specifically the Tour de France, or as I like to call it, the Tour de Farce. It's advertised as a huge thing but then for hours on end, its just sweaty guys on bikes, all side by side, and two commentators enthusiastically discussing basically nothing.

I use that setup to melt my beskar.

Fuck off with that bullshit. Musk redirects money away from American citizens and into his and other oligarchs pockets. This isn't savings, this is you getting robbed.

The web colossus is therefore “enabling a wide range of established smart thermostat companies to build energy devices and experiences that cater to these markets.”

Guess what, google. Nobody needs you for that. Home Assistant has us covered.

Maybe it's just me, but I never got that thing to work right anyway - with VSC. It keeps running amok and using up all the CPU time doing stuff it should not be doing, trying to analyze every single file in my VM every single time it is started.

So... good riddance.

German poet and playwright Berthold Brecht once said something to the effect that only the dumbest calves choose their own butcher.

I would not count on them telling the truth.

I checked my Windows 11 work laptop a while ago, and that shit was enabled. Did not see that in any UI, but using command line. Said that shit was enabled and active, but apparently it was not yet doing anything. I will have to check again next time I am firing that machine up again, because I absolutely trust them to re-enable it without my consent, those bottom-feeding scum suckers.

Obligatory info on how to check and disable recall in Windows 11:

  • Click on the Start button with the right mouse button and select “Terminal (Administrator)” or “Windows PowerShell (Administrator)”, or if necessary log in as administrator and confirm.
  • In the Terminal or PowerShell, enter the command DISM /Online /Get-FeatureInfo /FeatureName:Recall and press the Enter key.
  • If the entry “Enabled” appears next to “State”, the recall function is already activated. In this case, the function can be disabled using the command DISM /Online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:Recall
  • Close the window.

It occurs to me we might need a name for our peeps
