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….)

it’s also a quite terf movement. It basically mirrors MGTOW. I don’t think people should follow them.

you know those abussive partners that yell to their victims “where are you going if you leave me? you’ll sleep in the streets. You’ll be worse without me ”.

that’s the dems.

she had a huge surge in popularity when her candidacy was announced. then she decided to move to the right assuming she would gain more votes from the mythical center than the votes she would loose from marginalized people and the left. She was wrong. so many people said this was happening. and she did nothing to fix it.

Betraying people and then blaming them for not voting for you because the other guy is worse is EXTORTION.

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)
