Screw this idiot pearl clutcher who didn’t vote strategically.

Doing more harm than good.

I wish Apple would apply at least a little pressure on devs to make all their iOS games playable on M series Macs.

I played a beta of Warframe on my M1 and it had a few easily smoothed out oddities with dealing with Mac interface issues, but was otherwise fine. Once it released for real, it could no longer be played on my Mac. You just can’t download it.

I ran a Hubzilla site for a while, and first, it was a pain in the ass to get set up.

Second, the UI is terrible.

Third, Hubzilla seems entirely populated by cranky old men, inexplicable foreigners, and FOSS advocates who talk of nothing else.

I shut it down.

I’ve got under 3k miles on my Ioniq 5, and I’ve only ever used two chargers. One was a DC fast charger on ChargePoint, and it took about 90 minutes to go from 30 to 60%.

Last week I used a Rivian charger and had arranged to get a pickup because I thought it would be a hour or more to charge up.

In 15 minutes it blasted my battery from 30 to 80%. Only downside is it was $27 for that speed.

Did you know that eating one billionaire can reduce your carbon footprint and that of your next ten generations of progeny to zero, with plenty left over?

I have not found Nanoleaf to be super reliable. Perhaps this is just the reality of wifi gear.

The bulbs in particular are flaky for me, and some have failed after less than a year.

They do work with HASS though—when they work.

Can we poison our posts by putting a nonsense “signature” at the end of each of them?

Don’t want to harsh your buzz, but I have a patch of thyme that’s 6 feet by 3 feet and several years old only 10 feet or so from a plum tree and a rose bush that nevertheless get hammered hard by Japanese beetles every year.

Invest in a sprayer and some neem oil.

The communities tab now gives a dropdown menu that appears to be correct.

I clicked on the “Communities” drop down and got a site wide error.

The very first page I tried going to off that landing page errored out.

Pretty much the title. I’ve got an old (circa 2012) MacBook Pro with no screen that’s running Ubuntu, but since day one of the install it has never recognized the touchpad. I’ve been using it with an external mouse, which works, but it’s much less convenient and elegant than if I had even basic touchpad use.

Any ideas on how I might make this work?

 

I think I've done my research, but damn if I can find what I'm looking for in the US. Even talked to my installer, who had nothing.

From what I can tell, my sole option for V2H, using the vehicle's batteries to back up the house, is the Ford Lightning. Maybe the Mach-E?

In fact, what I'd actually like is a CAR. Not a crossover, not a SUV. An actual CAR.

  • The Lightning is WAAAY too much "car" for me.
  • Best I can tell, Polestar is only "testing" V2anything.
  • Kia/Hyundai only has V2L.
  • Volkswagen ID4? I'm unclear.
  • Mini has nothing.
  • Leaf has something, but leaf is too little for being useful in terms of KwH.

Again, I'm in the US. And I already have an Enphase solar install, so I can't totally switch to some other sort of turnkey soup to nuts solution. I don't have batteries for the house, and want a vehicle that can be that as well as a mode of transport.

I'm also not an electrical engineer, so what that guy in this forum who built his own rack of components to make V2H work with his Ioniq is not something I can do.

Any help?
