The $5K a year just gives you a $300 per person per visit discount. So pays itself back in 15 visits or so.

...that it's just New York City. Hopefully the idea will spread.

Laissez faire capitalism is great if everyone is honest. But in this reality there are a lot of incredibly dishonest people who will do anything for a buck. A modicum of base regulation is desirable to keep consumers from getting swindled at every turn. I applaud efforts like these.

Plenty of us nerds can afford this and want to see news about this.

Another good reason to use third party software to disable all windows telemetry from first install.

I'm unclear on the exact mechanism for how the device ID was extracted by a website. Is this something available as a piece of data a site can request via edge?

Is this part of telemetry data sent back to microsoft if you leave all that enabled, at the windows level?

Use a privacy-safe brower with blocking plugins (ublock origin) and completely disable all telemetry to microsoft using O&OShutUp and WinHance to turn off every single reporting mechanism that goes back to Microsoft. And use the shell access on the first windows config screen to create a local account only. Do all of this before ever connecting the machine to the internet.

I just did a clean install of 11 (all should work with 11 as well), did the shift+F10 command prompt on setup to create a local account only and used O&OShutUp10, WinHance before I ever connected the machine to the internet and disabled all telemetry and involuntary communication with M$'s servers. Those two pieces of software are really handy.

kWh battery. Knew I'd miss that at some point.

Okay, that's amazing.

Here (Australia, all AUD) I pay 28 cents per kWh and get paid 5 cents per kWh. I have 12kW solar which was great when they paid 12cents, but now it's not so I got a 30kW battery and it's paying for itself pretty quickly. Battery was $6k AUD installed.

For at least a year (maybe more) I thought that it was go-dot, kind of a play on dotnet. Especially with the work on adding c# support.

I so dumb!

I can't find any reference to this. Not saying it hasn't happened, I just don't see it on the internet. A link would be useful.

I've had Linux kill a motherboard (would boot, but fans and sensors didn't work so it would overheat and crash pretty quickly) setting up lm_sensors.

No, of course a broken spar is A Very Bad Thing when it happens in midair.

Is this changing-the-timing-chains-in-an-Audi difficult, or is this replacing-your-spinal-cord-without-killing-you impossible?

Are these planes repairable? I think it's a reasonable question.

(Of course, with the Audi, if has anything more than a loose gas cap it's not economically feasible to repair, but that's what you get with European engineering.)

Wait, no electric windows? That's not a luxury feature since the late 90s.

I like the idea of this (here in Australia there's no inexpensive EV utes), but that's a step too far.

...and nothing of value was lost.

A bit like the ship of thesus
