Re:Bidirectional Charging During Grid Outages on Sunday November 01, 2026 @12:01PM (#50327413)
Assuming you have enough solar, how about running your 5+ ton HVAC system only when there is enough production? And properly insulating your home, of course, using it as a thermal battery of sorts.

If there is a grid outage, surely one can shift consumption to solar production hours while using the battery for the always-on systems (fridge, lights, some computing...).

Re:EU Age Control: The trojan horse for digital IDs on Monday April 27, 2026 @04:02AM (#47918915)
That's not now it works.

At least in my country, the ID app lets you generate 3 levels of QR:

Level 1: Just age (also shows a photo on the screen). This is what you would typically use to go in a club or buy alcohol.

Level 2: Adds Full name, birth date, validity date.

Level 3: All the data you can see on the physical ID card.

Seems like George is inching towards learning about Triffin Dilemma[0].

To meet global demand, the issuer must supply enough currency, potentially weakening its own economy, but restricting supply would harm international trade and finance

This is not a tautology but a (not-so-good) measurement of inequality.
How are you getting this? I is it visible to the browser (client)?
Sure, it's a desktop with a 35-50W TDP, M2 Pro is around 30W?

I agree M2 is better, but not at 4x the price for 1

My responsiveness is great, and Linux experience for my UC (dev) is much better.

Another comparison link: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/5186vs5138/Apple-M2-Pro...

Just got a mini pc with AMD, which can hold its ground against a mac mini, but costs ~4 times less (602€ vs 2259€). Comes with 32GB of RAM, 1 TB SSD, and Linux works great!

Funny, in Germany most "old" houses don't have shutters, from my small sample of living in 4 or 5 German houses. Many people from the south of Europe complain about that when traveling to Germany.

Re:ChatGPT Hardware a Look at 8x Nvidia A100 Powering the Tool on Tuesday February 14, 2023 @11:33AM (#34791807)
You should probably compare the H100:

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/h100-sxm5-96-gb.c3974

With the MI300, which has 128GB and more compute power (at least on paper):

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-instinct-mi300....

A100 can be compared with MI250, perhaps. It also has 128GB.
