How To Improve Pi 5 Cooling
  • I've just bought a 5 with the fan case, and it's kind of ridiculous that it needs active cooling while under no load. I'm sort of disappointed how much power it draws. The whole point of a pi is supposed to be that it's tiny and uses almost no power. My previous pi3 would be cold while idle and only ever got "warmish" under load and no active cooling.

  • So would he call this a win or a loss?
  • I'm all for Newton's conclusion that God can't be real, but man that just seems like a really weird reason.

    Couldn't God push two things in opposite directions for the first motion? like throwing two balls together from each hand so they collide in the middle. That would result in zero net-god-motion. Or, since he's god, maybe he's above the laws of the universe. That might literally be true - there's no reason to believe laws of motion should hold outside of this universe.. whatever that ends up meaning.

    If you don't wanna read it then just don't, you don't have to make excuses to yourself.

    Rolls-Royce boss: We can win the nuclear power race

    "Sir John Rose, the chief executive of Rolls to 2011, said that any risk that the Rolls design might not be 'best in class' would be outweighed by the overall gains that could be made by backing Rolls."

    Any UK EV owners with Octopus Energy?

    I'm already with Octopus, but I've just had a smart meter installed, so I'm looking at moving to one of their EV tarrifs. These seem like kind of a no-brainer, but I'm a bit suspicious. It seems sort of too compelling.. what am I missing?

    I'm currently paying 29.26p/kWh and 53.96p/day. Both EV tarriffs are 29.56p/kWh, so only 0.3p more, and the standing charge is the same. But, both tarriffs offer cheap overnight power; Go offers 4 hours at 9.5p/kWh, and Intelligent offers 6 hours at 7.5p/kWh (so why would you ever choose Go..?). I guess you'd choose Go if you can't or don't want to link your car's API to Octopus, but I see no other disadvantage).

    Is anyone here on either the Go or Intelligent tarriff? Any regrets or non-obvious gotchas to watch out for?

    Can we set the default instance language to English?

    I don't really know how languages work in the feddiverse but I've heard that not setting the post langauge at all can result in your post being hidden from most users. So I always set my posts' language to English. I find it a little silly that I have to scroll through a giant list of all possible languages to find mine. I have configured the language on my account so t should default to that. Or at least it should be at the top of the list.
