Is that why the consumption is so high?

You have 3 heat pumps

Is that unusual for Norwegians?

living room one is on all year, bedroom one is only on in summer, attic one is only on in very cold months

most norwegian homes have 1-2 heat pumps in my experience

The issue with nuclear is the sheer incompetence and corruptness of our government and of the citizens in germany.

Just look at major building projects like the "Berliner Flughafen" https://www.flughafen-berlin-kosten.de/
Planned 2006 to cost 2.000.000.000€ and to be finished by 2011. Now it has cost already 3 times that amount and still isn't open 11 years later.

We also have plenty of absolute retarded people, especially Bavarians, who complain about Windmills and HV Power Lines making them sick but also complain about the highest electricity prices in the country.
Now just imagine how apeshit people would go, if just a single new nuclear power plant would be planned years after we wanted to fully drop out of it and how much money would be wasted on it, just so it looks cool instead of being functional.

#

Small and "decentralized" windmills are much easier to get planned & approved by all useless paper work stations.

Finding a replacement is pretty easy and ridiculously cheap. Don't just google a replacement for your UPS model number, pull the battery, peel off any top brand labels on the battery to find what it truly is and look up a replacement for that on amazon. Most manufactures use an existing battery made by and for something else, and then slap their own branding label literally on top of it's original manufactured printing.

I quit using Amazon after realizing they'd screwed up 10% of my orders so far this year and every time I had to call in and argue with their customer service people for an hour to get it resolved.

umbral cliff
#

What did they do

prisma briar
#

They just suck at actually getting packages to my door.

umbral cliff
prisma briar
#

Mostly it was packages delivered to other houses in my neighborhood or packages getting lost then I'd have to do the wait X days to request a refund BS.

#

I didn't even really mind that packages were getting screwed up, but I did mind that Amazon makes it such a pain in the ass and take forever to get things sorted when they do.

#

I ordered that e-ink screen for the remote I'm building from Amazon, they lost it on delivery twice before I gave up and ordered it off of eBay. Then they tried denying me the refund because they never received the item back.

#

I ended up just filing a chargeback on that one. They kept telling me they'd file a ticket for the appropriate team to look into it, after two weeks of no change I went through my bank instead.

umbral cliff
prisma briar
#

They didn't, but I wouldn't really care if they did.

#

They sent me a nastygram saying the chargeback was just but asking me to continue filing pointless tickets in the future instead of actually getting my money back.

"We received your email about order XXX. We have researched this matter and confirmed that the dispute in question has been resolved between Amazon.com and your card issuer, in your favor.

That page is returned by Cloudflare and his browser is showing it trusts the SSL cert being provided. The two green checks are on his browser and Cloudflare, the X is over the website's server. It's an issue between Cloudflare and the target server. Probably they have certificate validation enabled on Cloudflare and the cert on their website expired.

What is the fast charging availability like in that area?

clear ferry
#

Should be updated with latest

#

And everyone that buys an EV has a charging port at home too

#

Modern houses are 3ph 400v distribution, so can get decent chargers

rapid plinth
#

Well yeah for around town you just charge at home. I'm looking at traveling, for vacation or business

#

Even in the US, every house has a 240v split phase service, 7kW is completely doable

#

The issue in the US is, if you need to go more than 200mi and it's not between major cities, you'll likely have to check into a hotel just to charge

clear ferry
#

Yeah, 200miles is peanuts with modern EVs and charging

#

Even my low end leaf does 400km, and it takes 40 minutes to top it up at a charge point

#

The Mercedes EQS was rated for 700 now I think

#

It's just gonna go up

#

Even a huge car like the Hongqi does 500+ without issues

rapid plinth

No, you need to drive there 200mi and there's level 2 at best when you get there, and now you have to get back.

And you can forget about bringing your boat.

I suspect that an EV is quite manageable if you prepare and aren't caught offguard, but I sometimes find myself late to something, realize that I'm nearly out of gas, and am at most 5-10mins away from a full tank

clear ferry
#

Yes, if you need to drive 200mi (350km) and you have a car with 500km range, you just need to charge either with a type 2 and it will be full when you leave or charge with a regular wall transformer for the duration of your stay and you probably have enough power to get back

#

Even the model 3 is 600+ these days

#

Same is the BMW ix which is a huge car

rapid plinth
#

Does type 2 mean something different there? Because you're not getting a full charge in under 8 hours on level 2

clear ferry
#

We do up to 11kw on type 2

#

So roughly 2h to charge 20kwh according to the sheet, and 10h if you think about a 80kwh battery

#

We even do 22kw it seems with three phase charger box and type 2

#

So half that time on the fastest ones

#

But depending on car model, chademo might be a better option for the nissan owners

rapid plinth
#

Okay, 240V 50A is 12kw, and that's about the limit for the US. J1772 doesn't have provisions for three phase. So I think there's a piece of the picture missing here

clear ferry
#

Yeah, we do 400v and three phase

rapid plinth
#

480V three phase grid is a thing in industrial and commercial areas in the US, I think that's typically the service to the equipment at fast charging locations

clear ferry

Yes, it is both in homes and charge stations here

#

We swapped to 400v default in the 90s

rapid plinth
static schooner
#

yes, that's the change in mindset

clear ferry
#

I charge the Volvo every night, and the nissan once or twice a month, very manageable, and a lot cheaper than gas

rapid plinth
#

You just plug in when you park at home, not to prepare for anything but just because that's the routine, get home, plug in. You only think about charging if you plan to spend 4+ hours in the car in a single day

clear ferry
#

Last month was $80 in charging, but we also have 850% higher power prices than usual

#

My smart house only charges when it is cheap

clear ferry

Apparently if I look at the price difference between the cheapest power in 2020 and the most expensive in 2022 the difference is 23233%

According to a calculator, I suck at math

modular like that

finite atlas
#

i highly doubt that dolby would do such terrible fuckery

ashen parrot
#

but that won't happen cos atmos is proprietary. I heard google tryin to make an open standard for this though

#

why terrible?

#

it would be a standard, like all speakers you would buy from now on could be integrated

finite atlas
#

As you describe it, you would use speakers, plugged into a phone but just multiple of that.

#

Boy would it be a hassle to fix the various latencies of all devices to avoid not synchronous phase delays

forest edge
#

look up soundseeder

#

but again, gross

ashen parrot
#

thats cool

#

well the phase thing could possibly be calculated like avrs do via a mic

#

i.e. room correction

finite atlas
#

no

ashen parrot
#

why not

finite atlas
#

i dont talk about speakers sitting at a different position
I talk about phones playing the sound at a slightly different time

glacial knot
ashen parrot
#

yes, they both come down to the same thing believe it or not: phase

finite atlas
#

but cant be fixed the same way

#

dolby would never do such fuckery to audio
but if you are willing to do it privately, then all power to you, do what makes you happy

glacial knot
#

Otherwise trebble and mids might have different speakers as their main speaker
In a not so nice way

ashen parrot
#

thats what room correction does, it indtroduces a delay for each speaker according to its position (which the avr divines via an impulse response calculation)

glacial knot
ashen parrot
#

yes well pointed out. the delays in this case would be larger than the delays for the phase correction

glacial knot
#

It would still sound horrible unless every node is the same hardware
But if you go for phones as a speaker system already...

ashen parrot
#

I only used phones as an example. could be anything with a speaker and app integration

#

i.e. those high end individual bluetooth speakers

finite atlas
ashen parrot
#

like make a 11.2.4 out of those, and woofers

finite atlas
#

why mess with such expensive fuckery, when you can just lay a few wires and have much better audio?

glacial knot
#

I wouldn't pull any wires through this flat

ashen parrot
finite atlas
#

again, all power to you if you want to do such a thing

#

but for the majority of usecases, its terrible for many reasons and expensive

ashen parrot
#

I don't know how to code

finite atlas
#

The parts of the Teams window that can be dragged can't even be discerned from the search bar unless you have a well calibrated screen

i dunno what browser you are using but chrome when not full screen makes a bar above the tabs to move the window around

I don't use vscode or teams so can't speak on those

I couldn't do multiple monitors of the same size side by side or top/down

I've had quad or triple since 2000

Tried going back to dual

Couldn't do it

I've started using the mouse to move windows since discovering FancyZones.

when it comes to android.. it's not android in charge of what and when gets updated

Actually, i got 4, the OnePlus 8 pro came with 10 afaik

unless it's a google phone

So 4 major versions

I think my pixel 3 has had 4ish major updates

and it will continue to get them as they come

so you can run a iOS version thats released 5 years after release... and then you complain about not getting updates, 5 years after you bought the phone? this is weird and unexpected coming from a android user

iOS didn't drop support for any devices from iOS 13 to 16. iPhone 6s lost support this year, released 2015 lol

What was the word he was trying to say?

forest edge

#

for example: "phones contain a small lithium battery, typically 60Wh or less"

#

find me any useable phone with a 60Wh battery

#

i had batteries reaching above 100°C with no explosions or fires, that one actually catches fire due to being left in the sun is a very very rare occurrence

#
  • the majority of videos happend in china, where there are very relaxed rules on how safe your product must be
forest edge

#

have you ever seen any lithium battery blow up in your life?
if so, which kind was it

forest edge
#

are you saying lithium batteries catching fire is BS?

keen bridge
#

cough Samsung Galaxy cough

finite atlas
#

thats not what i'm saying, i'm saying that the times it happens and that there is supposedly no way to extinguish them is often very exaggerated

forest edge
#

maybe but I'm pretty sure the clips in that video were real

finite atlas
#

and the majority of them from china with very relaxed rules on safety

forest edge
#

shit happens and the more opportunities you give shit to happen, it's going to happen more often.

clever mortar
#

And Lithium battery chemistry is ... "interesting"

#

It's almost like we went out of our way to find a way of making something that if it goes wrong can go very badly wrong indeed

finite atlas
#

the typical nmc/lco ones, yes definitely
but there are also much safer chemistries available like LFP that costs the same per kWh or LTO which is nearly indestructible but is pretty expensive

clever mortar
#

And for phones, manufacturers will tend to make the more power in less space for less money tradeoff

#

(indeed, they'll do that pretty much anywhere that regulations don't force higher safety options)

Basically what has happened, we share a well, 3 households

#

Turns out no one has replaced the sand or cleaned out the well for over 10 years

#

And it was really low last night

#

No one has been checking it, myself included

#

It wouldn't be a bad idea if we can graph the level

#

As well as have notifications if there is a large amount being used, or if level gets low

#

But we are getting someone here on Thursday to look at cleaning it all out.

I have an iron filter after the well, so I don't notice any issues with colour etc, just when the pressure is low

finite atlas
#

just drill it 1 meter deeper after it has been cleaned

pure vine
#

also this happens with main brand stuff in the UK even

#

namely a e-cig

finite atlas
#

those disposables should be banned world wide
the proper e-cigs often cumbust because the owner neglects the care of the battery and uses them when he shouldn't

pretty sure fission is cheaper than batteries too over the long run

finite atlas
#

and how long do we have the materials for fission? heard something along only for 100-200 years if we'd switch the entire grid to it

prisma briar
#

You don't need nuclear materials to be in critical quantities for them to be extremely dangerous. Dirty bombs made by just putting radioactive material near a conventional explosion would be quite effective. You'd also have to deal with other issues like fires and improper disposal. I seriously doubt we'll see any radioactive power sources for general consumer sale ever.
