1200 incoming + 1 hairdryer at the same time equals overloaded circuit though.

It is more than just the concern around back-feeding the grid. These simple balcony setups connect to your home grid via a single outlet. Most US outlets/circuits are 15 AMP or roughly 1500 watts max capacity. These single circuits can only carry that much current total at any one time so if you have it loaded up with incoming power AND use anything else on the circuit at the same time ... no bueno. To make this setup work best/safely you would ideally want a dedicated circuit for it which is basically non-existent today.

The safety issues really do need to be addressed because the folks most likely to use these systems are apartment dwellers and I don't think anyone wants to increase fire risk in these scenarios.

Gentoo is GOAT. I am also glad that Arch exists though. Both have excellent wikis, good knowledgeable communities, lots of configuration options. In terms of pure speed, it is hard to beat a build it all from source as per your own custom USE flags setup like in Gentoo.

Nice to see the US government still supporting EVs these days.

I still think that EV rebates and tax credits would be more cost efficient and much less jarring than provoking Iran into destroying 20% of the world's oil supply... but I guess that I am too simple-minded for politics.

Can I have 2 billion dollars to build UNIVERSE models?

Whenever these editors wars come around I just....

sshfs zerocool@thegibson:/home/zerocool ~/sshfs/thegibson

... and then edit files with MS Word.... like a real gangster.

Blink twice if you're compromised by the Mossad! You certainly would not be alone amongst world leaders.

Folks getting a front row seat to the difference between actual causality and stochastic parrots.

Smart phones are a bad idea. A simple, dumb phone to make calls, texts and occasionally tether your laptop, vehicle tablet to for data access are all you really need. Even the dumb phone should have physical switches for the radios and a battery that can be removed without any tools.

 

Credit where credit is due.

Microsoft has started rolling out built-in Sysmon functionality to some Windows 11 systems enrolled in the Windows Insider program.

Sysmon may be somewhat unknown to those who aren't in cyber security circles but it can also be a useful diagnostic tool as well.
