I’ve seen places where you are given a QR code in your receipt to open the toilets

he is at least a very dumb person if he believes Trump sides against bigtech

do you know of alternative? I wanted to leave them because of this but found they most other options were not as close as good.

smart TVs mostly can be used as a dumb TV if you reject the terms of services when you set it up. I understand they are annoying, but people making such a big fuzz about them are clearly just fabricating drama.

Imagine being able to give away 99% of your money and still being a billionaire.

yes, but my question is specifically about ‘sources’. Saying “public trackers” is like asking how to get to a supermarket and answering “use the roads”. Also a lot of public tracker sites do not have a API readily availble, hence my question.

In the end I learned about prowlarr and jackett, which is the piece I was missing.

Thank you. I’ll give it a try

honestly. why did you even bother writing this answer? if you think my question is dumb just ignore it.

IIRC they recently lost that google money in august since Google was found guilty of monopolistic practices. that is why they’ve been reducing budget everywhere (except AI….)

how dare they not be complacent with the little acknowledgement of their dignity they are given? why can’t they just do as I want now that for the second time a presidential candidate is a thread to me personally, instead of just other people.

I think that is what you meant. you don’t care about them, if you did you would push for Harris to do better instead of other people to lower their expectations for a presidential candidate.

those screens tend to be overpriced for home use and their image quality is not the best since the signaging priorities are different.

I’m not sure about Canada, but in europe you just need to reject the terms of services of the TV OS and you can use it as a dumb tv.

I would go for an OLED. LG, Samsung and Sony all make good ones. I love my LG C3 and the newer C4 is also great. You could even find a C3 in a larger version so it fits your budget. the more expensive G4 is also there.

You can use it as a dumb tv if you reject the terms and services. (at least on the european versions)

Samsung is also good but lacks dolby vision and they seem to have a particular color profile that people seem to either like a lot or dislike.

depending on the outside temperature, there’s a limit to what the heat pump can do, which an internal electric heater inside the water tank takes over to reach usable shower temperature.

That is also true for solar heaters when there is no sun. and there are not many places that have climates where heat pumps cant operate these days.

Also air source heat pumps can have a COP of 3.5 so or higher. so even with a lower efficiency from the PV you might get ahead. You also get gains from the high COP on cloudy days where you might need resistance heating on the thermal one

I dont think you can claim any of them is better without doing the math.

I think they heat a refrigerant and then use a heat exchanger to transfer that heat to the water.

I would love to see numbers on how they compare against solar panels+ air source heat pump. I guess the solar heater is cheaper, but I would guess photovoltaic+heat pump probably is more efficient all around and it useful for all your home, not just water.

ok. I was not aware the two letter TLD were more restricted than the others. thanks!

I don’t get why they killed it. some regional areas have their own TLD. .cat for Catalonia, for example.

that’s the structure of a bluray disk. It includes all that the player needs to play it (e.g. menus, chapters, etc). The STREAM folder contains the actual video, probably in a .m2ts file (you can convert it to mkv using ffmpeg or similar tools)

Because Wine often needs to run .Net applications and Mono is the easiest way for them to do that.

they were already maintaining a fork of Mono for quite some time. This seems to me like a ceremonial torch passing to make them the ‘official’ owner of the project.
