Nah.
Honda has a much better product in the first place, their engineering approach has always been better than Nissan (I say this having worked on every major brand, and some unknowns).
Nissan is one of the better ones, but they’re still a big step away from Honda.
And Honda was working on hydrogen nearly 30 years ago now, which seems poised to suplant batteries (again, maybe).
Not really, they’ve all had telemetry for probably 20 years.
The cars with satellite radio are even worse (which isn’t saying much, since they put modems in cars about 20 years ago)
Jeep/Chrysler have always been banned from my life.
Garbage. Worse than any other American car company. They even managed to screw up cars made for them by Mitsubishi.
Which is why adding Tailscale to this KVM is a killer solution
Excellent, thanks for the link!
I like your thoughts on runtime and recharge time.
That four hour limit really outs things into perspective for someone just starting out. Most people don’t understand the constraints at first.
I believe mailbox.org is all renewable, and I’m pretty sure it’s solar.
But you need a massive battery bank to run stuff, batteries have a limited lifespan (especially the crap used in a UPS).
It’s not cheap, you generally want to overbuild everything, and there are ongoing costs (hardware failures, batteries, etc).
But it can be done. Just have to do the math for your max power draw, then how much uptime you need determines the size of your battery bank and number of panels (which is influenced by how much sun you get/how consistent it is). You need enough panels to run your system and charge batteries, given the limitations of sun availability.
Everyone needs a break, more frequently than most people realize.
I’ve worked in places where I’ve really enjoyed my team - still need a break.
A whole video to say the FAA had a no-fly zone around Picatinny weeks before these drones were spotted.
Who requested the zone? Some government agency, of course.
It’s really frustrating there’s no proper backup/restore without root - that’s my primary reason for having root.
Yea, Syncthing-Fork is still maintained, though there hasn’t been an update for a while. The company that makes Möbius Sync for iOS is a big supporter of Syncthing, hopefully they’ll help in some way. Alternatively there’s Resilio Sync, but it’s hard on phone ram - I’d have to manage it a lot more often. Though it has Selective Sync - I can browse a shared folder from my phone and tell it to sync specific files. This is great for my media server - I can grab any movie/music anytime.
I like Syncthing-Fork better because it moves sync conditions to within each folder. So my DCIM folder syncs on any network or battery condition (so I don’t lose photos), but NeoBackup folder only syncs on wifi and while charging.
Pretty much all folders now sync 2-way, and I export the Syncthing config on the phone whenever I change something. That export folder is also synced, so when I switch phones I just install ST, import that config, and after a couple hours the new phone has all the same stuff as the old phone. Then I launch NeoBackup and start restoring.
We’ll always see a “wealth” angle, just depends on what people perceive as valuable and difficult to obtain.
Specific in that anything that uses that type of connector, which is a million different, specific, things
Wow, install Tailscale or Wireguard and you’ve got a killer remote support solution.
Weird people would downvote this. I usually don’t care (still don’t, lol) but someone downvoted the idea of installing a mesh VPN on this KVM, yet it’s already been done.
So anon blames an entire country for their shitty life choices?
I don’t remember the last time I ate fast food. I’m sure when I did, it was nothing like this - oh, it still sucked - but all I got was a burger and iced tea.
Though I completely agree restaurant portion sizes are insane anywhere. I akways get 2 meals out of a “serving”, often 3.
I’ve used Folder Sync since about 2011. Killer app.
I run rooted just so I can backup/restore apps, using NeoBackup. It backs up to a local folder.
That folder, along with pretty much every folder on my phone is synced to a server at home using Syncthing-Fork. This way new data (photos, downloaded files, etc) are always replicated, and I can effectively manage the phone file system by moving files around at home. Any changes I make will sync back to the phone.
Not exactly what you’re looking for, but I’ve carried a Walmart led light, 2 AAA, twist focus, for a few years now. The price varies, but I’ve never paid more than $15 for one, and I use NiMh rechargeables in them.
I’ve also carried this one, they claim 270 lumen, it’s surprisingly good. On narrow focus it throws a good 150’, though I’d say effective is more like 50’ (it would reflect animal eyes at 150, and you may see them, if it’s really dark out).
I think getting high lumen from a single AAA is a tough challenge, in that it’s a bit niche so finding one is rare. I’d sure like to have one.
I picked up a single AAA light from Bass Pro for about $12, works fine for what it is, but it’s no thrower. I can’t find it on their website, but they have a rechargeble one that does 300 lumen.
Those are 18650 battery lights. A 18650 is about twice the diameter of a AAA. 18650 is the defacto standard for flashlights these days because of the size and energy density.
A 18650 is 18mm diameter and 65.0mm long.
The AAA battery is ~10mm diameter and ~40mm long, very close in size to a 10440 battery.
But you can’t assume you can throw a 10440 lithium into a AAA flashlight, because lithium voltage is lower than a primary (alkaline, etc).
She’s really reachin’ to find that other ball
