Can we get some more JPEG? I can almost tell what some of the colours are.

My favourite is when they include a screenshot as evidence, and the screenshot clearly disagrees with them. So I get to read back to them the message in their own screenshot.

"Nobody wants to work" always has the unspoken second part, "for what I want to pay."

It's possible they're getting more stuff written and more emails sent, but the lower signal to noise ratio means this isn't actually helping.

He's looking for his balls.

You'd have to actually get paid for it, though.

Feed-in tariffs around here assume that you're using home solar and you're feeding into the grid during solar hours, when everyone else with solar is also flooding the grid. So it's hardly anything.

We don't have higher rates for feeding in to the grid during the evening peak, because that hasn't been a thing before.

We do have higher usage rates for peak times though, so it makes sense to use your car's battery to power your house during those times which takes load of the grid. But we really need time of use rates for feeding into the grid too.

Those people who can't pay aren't really worth anything to advertise to, though.

Mmm. It's going to be a bit of an uphill battle for manufacturers, though - not everyone has wifi signal in their laundry, that's not a part of the house that you usually hang around in.

Teaching sand to think was a mistake.

They're not the sharpest spoon in the drawer.

This is how it always goes - first you make the best product you can and sell it as cheap as you can to build a customer base, and once you've got customers then you squeeze them for as much money as possible.

Their problem at the moment is they're having trouble actually getting customers on board because the product isn't very good, so it's being pushed as hard as possible. Your betters have already decided that this is their next trillion dollar product, why won't the peasants just obey?!

Okay, but the people playing on 5090s aren't interested in barely getting 60 fps.

There's no amount of hardware that shitty software can't piss down the drain.

I can't even tell if this is a shrunken face/big head edit or a real photo of Kirk.

They've rolled their own API again which no software will support, haven't they.

I thought they meant the two of them added up to one full wit.

Should I rebuild my base in Factorio to massively boost copper and circuit production or just wait for module production to catch up?

"With software there are only two possibilities: either the users control the program or the program controls the users. If the program controls the users, and the developer controls the program, then the program is an instrument of unjust power."

Nobody knows, that's why they've stopped post instead of just charging you the fee.

People tend to imagine owning an electric vehicle and doing exactly the same things with it that they do with a gas car, so a 5 minute charge on the way to work every week or two. But that's not what you actually do.

You can tell people about home charging and that you haven't been to a charging station in six months, but they won't really get it until they drive an EV themselves. You only fast charge on long trips, and by the time your car needs charged you need a break and a coffee. My car charges pretty slowly and it's still ready to go before I am.

Even electric trucks do okay on 350 kW charging - driving time rules mean that if you plug in when you take a break, the truck won't run out of miles before the driver runs out of hours.

The big charging number gets the attention, but installing more chargers in more places is really what's needed. And 50 kW chargers for charging trucks overnight.

Note that this isn't vkd3d-proton, the one people are using for gaming.
