Nobody serious uses Linksys for anything.

If you are, you need to consider moving to a proper brand

I guess in your case it makes sense. As an Aussie, I'd rather a dropbear though in the corner than our flag

But yeah, good point on beehaw. In my case though I'm lazy 😂

Sure. Give him access.

But fact check every single post lol

No really?

Some of our customers were boasting how awesome AI is a year or so ago.

Turns out, the only thing it's changed is writing error handling for errors it's introducing

[-] Auzy@beehaw.org 2 points 2 days ago

Yes.. Sure, its cheap to set up..

Great at periods when you have lots of extra solar/renewables.

But.. if the efficiency is low, a potentially worse solution for the rest of the year (like Winter), because any excess you can generate, will mostly be lost.

Furthermore, you'll need a way to convert it back into electricity. In the future, they're aiming for 60% efficiency for Gas Power Plants... https://www.energy.gov/fecm/how-gas-turbine-power-plants-work . At the moment apparently its much less

So 60% * 0.85 = 50% efficiency.. AND THAT IS OPTIMISTIC AND DETERMINANT ON FUTURE TECH!

So you lose half of the power you store. Which means you're replacing the money you spend on batteries.. on more power generation anyway..

They definitely have some utility when there is insufficient battery as a final backup. They may also be useful in applications which don't use power too and in some utilities which use the gas directly. It also is still centralised power generation, so rural areas will still be unreliable..

But, I'd prefer they deploy Vanadium Redox Flow batteries instead as they're 75-90% efficient.

Too expensive, and there were too many reports of them cracking

[-] Auzy@beehaw.org 2 points 2 days ago

This makes more sense than the other response. But...

(I have a pilot licence for light aircraft)

The reality is that engines for aviation suck. They're loud, they're inefficient and expensive to operate.

You also need very high octane fuel on any real planes.

They also rely on oxygen and require a lot of maintenance. Most light aircraft can't take off at higher altitudes for that reason (you need turboprops)

You also have to contend with balancing fuel tanks and blocked fuel air vents and a lot of hardware like magnetos.

Startup checks are also a pain.

Also, even bad electric motors tend to be highly responsive and high torque and can be used to regenerate power during descent

it's fairly common for the startup checks to fail because there is excess oil you need to burn off fouling the spark plugs (but you can simply increase the power).

Because the tanks are so big too, water can condense inside, so you need to check the fuel for contamination constantly

I think a lot of pilots are looking forward to moving away from avgas. The only advantage currently for fuel is energy density by weight and refueling time. But there is no reason they couldn't battery swap in the future or improve batteries

Batteries are 90% or better efficiency

Unless this process has a similar efficiency, not sure how useful it will be.

Furthermore, presumably the methane will be used to generate heat.

Heat pumps are 500% efficient and induction is also highly efficient

Gas appliances are not...

Im starting to notice a pattern of stuff you're posting.

I literally just replied back to one of your posts which was a pro gun advert pretending to be feel good news

Are all of your posts going to be pro GOP posts masquerading as something else

Let's talk about how Trump is the primary nominee, and he raped a woman and threatens everyone.

There's literally no reason that Biden can't be a good leader. He's demonstrated it over the past few years. And it's normal for the current president to be given a second shot.

Fairly sure It's not normal for a president who lost his second term votes to try a 3rd time

The only real objection most people could arguably make for Biden is regarding Israel

Actually.. I just did install it.. It actually does have a lot of similarities to VS Code.. I have no idea why they used photos in the blog without the project pane. But it also seems to support extensions and such too

[-] Auzy@beehaw.org 10 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

What's with these posts using misleading info recently?

This doesn't look anything like vs code.

The only similarity might be they're both ide's
