Nothing was ever wrong with calling them “virtual assistants” - at least with them you’re conditioned to have a low bar of expectations. So if it performs past expectations, you’ll be excited, lol.

Literally any microblog that has a webring. You just need to hunt for them from various sources like YouTube and forums.

The previous ones were all attainable without paying and any weapons you got as part of the bundle, while nice, often did not last long unless you were good at the game.

Why exactly a physical copy?

I keep hearing it’s impossible to go back to a dream but I’ve on occasion woken up and taken back asleep to the same dream. It’s nice.

Ah you know what you’re right. It also displays fine in Brave. It’s just the Memmy app I use has no ad blocker built in. I prefer hard clients as opposed to html clients like that one with the logo of two opposing direction triangles.

This website has the most vile ads on mobile that come in on ask sides of the screen, cutting off half the article. Literally unreadable.

Nah. But it is present on all Apple platforms. You can pair BT mouse or use an OTG adapter for iPad and you’ll see it’s awful there too.

It would! If it worked on an iPad. But I’ll keep it in mind if I get a Mac in the future. Ty!

The mouse acceleration present in all Apple platforms that you can’t turn off unless you change system files on a Mac. It makes using an iPad as a work computer difficult.

They poison your kid but “here take $150” is their response? Is that the full story?

Yes. Most people are this way.

Surprisingly sane take, I forget sometimes that not everything on the internet is straight cynicism. Ty.

It could but the concern weird be rattle if you have any. I what wouldn’t fall do the whole “keyboard specific dampening foam”, I use packing foam on my keyboard between the case and PCB and it’s totally fine. But the PCB is also screwed into metal standoffs in a wooden case, and I have no plate. Surprisingly I don’t have an issue with switch movement. And the seller stopped selling plates while they unloaded stock of PCBs. I’ve been too lazy to reverse engineer the plate design, which the seller also for some reason did not want to release (even though they had released other plate designs). Really dumb. But keyboard works so whatever :)

You could add rubber feet, sub-pcb foam liner, lube the switches, o-rings work too but feel awful. Also having a neoprene keyboard/mousepad helps too. I’d recommend positively affixing the pcb+plate to the case so it doesn’t rattle either.

This is great but will the implants by this company expire and stop working once it gets bought out or goes out of business, like with so many other experimental implants that worked great? (No /s) In case article goes kaput:

‘’’ Sticking an electrode inside a person’s brain can do more than treat a disease. Take the case of Rita Leggett, an Australian woman whose experimental brain implant changed her sense of agency and self. She told researchers that she “became one” with her device.

She was devastated when, two years later, she was told she had to remove the implant because the company that made it had gone bust. ‘’’

They used the wrong type of bulb. Ordinarily the bulb will be made of a UV blocking glass, and not be quartz based. I think? So it’s not usually the shroud that stops UV except in cases of Halogen bulbs. These would be CFL without any shield except perhaps a cage to protect against things thrown.

Then be content. Tell your best friend what you need to say.

So, I can’t help you here. I know nothing about this product but I will advise you to not trust it with providing you continuous power. I don’t think consumer units like this even the one LTT reviewed are meant to be run 100% of the time. No matter what their marketing claims. They are very compact, energy dense, and even with fans blowing air likely get too warm for their own good.

I understand the want to have a self reliance on power but this ain’t it chief.

There are sketching ground bonding adapters online that I wouldn’t trust.

The below is a total assumption of how this is constructed electrically. No guarantees. I would bet it has input from wall power, powering a dc power supply for the batteries. The batteries are also charged by a solar charge controller. This DC battery bank is then connected to a switchable inverter. The output from the inverter is connected to a transfer switch that has two inputs and one output. One input to the internal inverter, the other input to wall power. The output to the outlets it has on its face. When you are in “EPS” mode it probably forces the transfer switch to always connect the front outlets to the inverter if it senses no power on the dc charger side. Then it probably takes a second to switch that connection. I’d bet it’s going slow to make absolutely sure it is never connecting inverter out to your home’s power outlet. That way there is no chance of blowing up the inverter.

This is consumer grade technology. Real UPS does not have this downside. You would be better off salvaging a commercial grade UPS with no battery, getting a battery bank for it, and connecting a solar charge controller to the battery. It would at least be rated to work continuously under load. Some UPS have a green mode. You want this off so it is always inverting and always passing through to your device, it’s own generated power.

But this also sucks because you’re losing like 20% total efficiency on the 120/240v -> dc battery charger in the UPS, and inverter from dc -> 120/240 volt outlets.
