Photovoltaic doesn’t require water. What are you talking about?

USB-C likes to get full of dust and is impossible to clean out.

I have dust plugs in mine and just wireless charge because I have also had failures.

No, the Fire TV Stick is a streaming stick. The Fire TV is a TV with the stick built in and it makes you go through the Amazon Fire UI to do normal TV things as well.

That’s because it’s a made up number that they add on instead of just pricing the vehicle accurately. So then they advertise it as $60K and then add the market adjustment of $40K.

If I was Attorney General I’d be shutting dealers down if the price before TTL was even $1 higher than the advertised price.

Also your 9 friends might just exclude you from group texts, and therefor activities, because they don’t want to see the green bubbles. I shit you not.

Yeah. I have a Vizio smart TV but each time you turn it on it acts 100% like a dumb tv until you press the smart button.

I have a seperate shitty little HTPC that’s used for all the media and my brother uses his xbox.

That has to be it. They got drawn in by the beautiful shade of blue they make and gave everybody the experience of welding for 12 hours using only safety squints and a t-shirt.

And for everyone that doesn’t know, UVC radiation is the bad kind of radiation (ionizing).

No Fair

No, you make an account on that piped instance.

the eye closes on LTE after about 25km, resulting in “bars” on the phone but no ability to transfer data.

I’ve noticed this in the mountains as well, even though I don’t think I’m that far from the tower I guess the normal cell signal bounces off the rock and stays readable but the data does not. Usually pretty close that they go out but as I go into a valley/ravine/hollow/canyon I do lose data first, while I still have 3/5 bars.

You’d have to convince everyone to switch to it and most Americans are going to have the reaction of: “Why would I want another fucking app that I have to make another damn account for when I have something that does pretty much what I want built in”

Activity groups will usually use some other service for member messaging (ex: my D&D group uses Discord for campaign discussion even though we all have eachothers phone numbers, a outdoor activity groups like a hiking group may use a facebook page, etc.)

Transport Layer Security, or TLS, is a widely adopted security protocol designed to facilitate privacy and data security for communications over the Internet. A primary use case of TLS is encrypting the communication between web applications and servers, such as web browsers loading a website.

I think that’s already the case in many situations.

Thing is a given system is going to need a given number of sats in specific orbits. Sure you can add earth observation equipment (weather, sat imagery etc) to almost anything (albeit maybe not that useful in some orbits) but you can’t really combine Satellite TV and GPS.

I’d also like to point out, every time Starlink launches, you get articles like these showing multiple streaks across some image from a telescope. Those images are 100% intentionally gathered. And Starlink is only that bright while maneuvering and very near sunset and sunrise. Once they are in their final location they dim down.

If you’re talking about a head unit replacement that get’s difficuld nowadays since they aren’t just Double-DIN and there are vehicle.settings managed in there.

Looks like to do that for mine is about $800-1500 DIY

In the summer, at night, we’re facing the galactic center. You can see the cloud of uncountable stars held close to the supermassive black hole at the center, and you can see the band of light spanning the sky that it the rest of the disk and arms.

It’s the reason the galaxy is called the Milky Way, because those billions of stars looks kinds like somebody spilled milk all across the night sky.

If you are in the darkest parts of the world I think you can still see it a bit in winter but you’re looking outward into intergalactic space, so it’s much fainter, only showing the stars in our arm that are even further out.

I was ready to see the Milkyway in Colorado a few years back but there was wildfire smoke covering the sky the entire time I was there.

I did get to see it just a bit in Arkansas last year(it really wasn’t as dark as I’d have liked it). I was doing some long exposures with a camera and my mom says “Wow it’s a pretty clear night except for that one cloud…”

That would make the locomotive lighter

That’s not an advantage. You want your loco to be as heavy as possible for traction. If they were switching it to pantograph and it was lighter they’d add iron, or something else to make up the difference

Which is why “spurious emission” is the proper term to use.

The point where you can call it a “radiation hazard” when talking about RF is if it’s at the point where RF Burns are a possibility which a phone is just not capable of.

As long as you can keep the evaporator above the evaporation temperature of your compressed refrigerant, you’re golden.

Also keeping the evaporator from getting covered in ice where it doesn’t work. Yeah you can defrost but in certain weather it’s just going to ice up immediately.

Yeah I also don’t understand how it’s a barrier. Unless I’m thinking of the wrong thing I know some people who had to get a letter of credit when getting some service at their new property in order to not have to pay some equipment deposit. As private individuals (although commercial property with no history of income), it took them a phone call, 2 emails and about 30 minutes to get one.

I really can’t see any small ISP that isn’t some scheme having trouble getting one.
