  • I know, it's just not often that I get to flex useless HVAC knowledge. :)

  • Thermostats in most residential settings are just a series of on/off switches. All it does is complete the 0.5v circuit from your HVAC control board that tells it which parts to activate.

    The only way for a thermostat to cause any extra wear and tear on the AC unit is if it was rapidly turning on/off. However most thermostats, including Nest, have a maintenance band of +/- a couple of degrees, to prevent that sort of rapid cycling.

    If @_stranger_@lemmy.world is going through AC units that fast, they likely have a more serious electrical problem in their home.

  • I guess "senior" doesn't mean anything anymore.

  • None of them come close to doing a single thing better than Discord, or even at the same level as Discord. There simply isn't an application that realistically competes with any one of Discord's features yet, let alone the entire suite. Every other platform currently available is either a downgrade in terms of features/functionality, or costs the user money (which immediately makes it prohibitive for 99% of users).

  • I miss the light-up nub on the Nexus One. It was one of the best notification indicators I've ever seen on a phone.

  • The sign says "max", so I figured this is referring to weight capacity and not cost.

  • My carry-ons have always gotten weighed, as well as my checked bags. I've not flown in about 15 years, so maybe that's not as common now?

    I'm afraid you'll need to narrow this down a bit further.

  • Problem is people are fucking lazy and will not move to another platform.

    It's not that people are lazy, it's that a feasible alternative does not exist yet.

  • This will go as well as the asshats who trademarked Taco Tuesday.

  • Y'all, the overhead bins and the seats have different weight ratings. If has nothing to do with the overall weight of the plane, they just don't want the bins to come crashing down on your head mid-flight.

  • Would be a shame if every DHS employee got doxxed, tho, wouldn't it?

  • I think the tariffs might actually have one niche benefit of mitigating scalping. It's going to be even more expensive for scalpers to get their hands on an actual product now, and people are already struggling to justify the increased retail costs, as it is. I'd have to imagine it'll be much harder for scalpers to find a buyer these days, as anybody who can afford scalpers' fees plus tariffs likely wouldn't have any issue getting their hands on one, to begin with.

  • "How dare he care about this issue, when I care about a different issue! There can't be two issues!"

  • I know the story you're referring to, that's something different. That was a cloud-based storage scanning, this appears to be running entirely locally on the user's device.

    Imo, it's a better solution, but still not perfect, and not immune to abuse.
