/e/OS Is Better Than Android. You Should Try It
  • FM on a phone is a banger. I used to have an old Nokia with a FM transmitter as well.

    To be honest, the FM transmitter was more reliable and easier to set up on a random car with no aux than Bluetooth was.

  • /e/OS Is Better Than Android. You Should Try It
  • SD cards are awesome, because a high quality 256GB SD card costs about $30, while a 256GB memory upgrade is at least $100 with no option to transfer when you get a new phone.

    Cloud storage is pretty expensive and only as fast as your internet speed is, so for a lot of people that is not really that feasible. Especially considering that some have data caps as well.

    3.5mm jack is just more comfortable to use for a lot of people, especially when they have multiple source devices and want to switch between them. I have BT headphones and it is way easier and more reliable to just replug the wire than to go through the BT disconnect reconnect dance.

    The issue with dongles is that you'll have to find the correct aux dongle, some phones support analog passthrough, others require active dongles and so on

  • After 16 years, Ecobee is shutting down support for the original smart thermostat
  • If you have a home office or someone is at home 24/7, then yes. Otherwise it would make sense to reduce the heating/cooling of the house when no one is home and setting the correct temp again when people are about to get back. Saves quite a few bucks.

  • poor unnamed goat
  • Yeah, putting down a dog that bites people is sometimes the only option, but the way it was worded sounded more like "it wasn't a golden genius and I didn't like it, so I shot it instead of putting any effort into training it"

  • What can a poor boy do except pirate, pirate, pirate?
  • Shameless promo for a paid service:

    Most of Protonvpn addresses seem to not be in those lists usually. I haven't had any issues with anime sites, Netflix etc

    That doesn't mean it will continue to be the case, it might just also be that I have gotten lucky so far

  • It doesn't exist once you step out of the shower
  • I've been honing my ability to add things I need to a list on my phone's home page. I've been doing it for 7+ years now. If someone asks 3 years later, how much butter to use for belgian waffles that I made once, I'll know it is the blue colored note, 5th line from top.

    If I go to the store, I'll still forget I have the list.

  • rule
  • Coal and nuclear both suck at changing output quickly. For a quick ramp up/down, you need hydro or gas generators. Hydro takes only a few minutes to ramp up while most (US) coal plants take more than 12 hours.

    There is no excuse for still using coal power.

  • Where did that lead you?
  • Get yourself a government funded (well, taxpayer funded) weather forecast page. Quite accurate forecasts for weather, rain, cloudiness (including simulated radar models). Also radar images for cloudiness and rain. And free historic data. Without ads.

    But I guess that sounds too communism
