"Automatic winding", about 90% of the way through

I wouldn't bother with the concept of de-federation in a beginners guide. One of the most confusing bits of the fediverse to new users is picking a server. For most users, the one they pick doesn't really matter, but talking about defederation makes it sound like a really important choice.

Here's an Olympic sprinter powering a toaster. He generates 0.021kWh going flat out: https://youtu.be/S4O5voOCqAQ

I've been browsing through new as a way of finding communities to join. The NSFW stuff in that feed is unideal but easy enough to ignore, whereas content that could send me to jail is a whole different ballgame.

They tested using a green light for the front brake light, not a red one

The white car isn't parked in a disabled spot. Its parked in front of the ramp for a wheelchair, which isn't a space

Try it. The worst that happens is that it makes things slower and then you turn it back off.

Thats good to hear, will edit the OP to add it. I do think my post is a fair representation of the original update though.

I think you're misunderstanding which ramp I mean. Looking between the wheels of the white car, it looks like there's a ramp the goes from the parking lot up on to the sidewalk. The white car would prevent a person using a wheelchair getting onto the sidewalk.

This assumes that the reviewer who gave the rating wasn't considering value as part of their scoring. I'd expect the reviewer to be scoring a TV based on his good it is compared to similarly priced competitors, not comparing to every other TV on the market

It might mean that of all the eligible voters, 67% voted and everyone who voted voted in favor. So 67% voted for, 0% voted against and 33% didn't vote at all.

I've always got them from eBay.

The T and X series are the high-end ones. Between those it mostly depends on what size of laptop you're looking for. Its worth checking a guide for how you replace the SSD/RAM/battery - some of the newer ones have these soldered in place, which means you're stuck with whatever it originally came with.

Personally, I think the sweet spot is around 4 years old. By that point they're pretty cheap (maybe 10% of the original RRP), and going for older ones doesn't save you much more money. I recently got an X390 and it's doing everything I need from a laptop

That seems too harsh a penalty, it makes using an additional PU likely to mean starting from the back for ~5 races. It'd also hurt smaller teams worse - if your average qualifying position is 16th you'd be starting from the back for about 12 races.

Most UK house construction doesn't really allow for retrofitting cables in the way that seems to be common in the the US

The email address attached to the public key, eng@eightsleep.com, to me suggests the private key is likely accessible to the entire engineering team.

This assumption is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the authors argument that this is a big deal.

I see this behaviour too, without a URL checker app

Why would it need 5GHz? At most it needs to do two audio streams, which aren't going to need lots of bandwidth

Plenty of costs don't depend on how much usage there is. If a tree falls and takes out a power line it cosrs the same whether that line was being used at 1% capacity or 100%

I think this is maybe best expressed as pmOS development being controlled by the community, rather than a single organisation. I'd much rather use an OS where I have confidence that the developers are acting in the users best interest, rather than their employers best interest.

My opinion is that forks/downstreams of giant codebases like AOSP are largely going to have to accept choices made by the upstream. They can maybe pick and chose a few points where they maintain local patches, but that takes a lot of effort.

As an example, I think most chromium-based browsers will end up dropping support for uBlock Origin because Google dropped it upstream. That's the kind of choice they [edit: i.e. google] can make in their own self-interest by virtue of controlling the project, and the reason I'd prefer to use community-developed software.

It's a quite entitled view to take that they should make an effort to pass the project on. It would be very hard to build sufficient trust in a new developer quickly, and passing it on without that trust would be undermining the trust that users of the projects have placed in this dev. If I were him, I wouldn't be staking my reputation on finding someone to take over from me if there wasn't already an obvious candidate.

The successful fundraiser you mention looks to have had a target of $12k USD (from: https://discuss.techlore.tech/..., the original page has been taken down), and was as a alternative to them taking a full time job. I'd say its a reasonable bet that money was spent on living expenses, and IMO $12k a year is much less than this level of skilled work is worth. It's certainly not enough money to make it unreasonable to shut down the project a year later, and I doubt anyone who donated feels shortchanged by it.
