It is the same in the UK.

But because we have a smart meter, our energy price can change every 30 minutes. So if our provider predicts that tomorrow lunchtime will be expensive for electricity, it could charge us more. Or it could tell the battery to take over.

I've just installed a bigger solar battery - so I thought I'd share some statistics from it.

Yes, there are magnetic USB cables which do data. Here's my review of one https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/10/gadget-review-subbytech-magnetic-charge-sync-cables/

Magnets. (How do they work?)

I replaced all my USB-C and Micro-USB connectors with magnetic ones. No more orientation worries, no more fumbling in the dark, no more not-inserting-it-hard-enough. Just bring the two into proximity and them magically snap together.

Bliss.

Discord is where information goes to die.

Please just stick things on a website. I'm happy to help you set one up.

OMG! I still have my DataLink watch somewhere. I remember thinking it was amazing and showing off all the phone numbers I'd programmed into it.

Will your code work with any flashing LED? Or does it need special hardware?

I like it. As others have said, it is a rebadged Mulvad. When I got it, Mozilla was slightly cheaper. The apps for Linux work well and the speed seems decent.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Cracked black pepper. Then either shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano or nutritional yeast.

Basically, all the savoury flavours at once - and not as boring as plain salt.

I've been on the Fediverse since 2016, and I still get a little mixed up by how things work.

What?! That boggles my mind - and would probably break my brain.

Cheers! It is actually a very lightly customised version of Atkinson. See https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/08/an-update-to-the-atkinson-hyperlegible-font/

Oooof! Yeah, I don't think I could cope with that.

A little rant for this Saturday about a stupid usability problem which will never get fixed.

Not everyone has the same level of mobility that you do.

Incidentally, do you get off your arse to change the volume on your TV?
