  • In Germany, NL, you can just plug it into socket and it works somehow.

    This is incredibly dangerous as it will feed power into the grid even when the grid is down. You might say ‘that is great!’, yeah, well, the line technicians who cannot work on damaged cables because you are energizing them think otherwise.

    One of the reasons home solar grid-feeding systems are expensive in the US is they have extra equipment to disconnect the system from the grid if the grid goes down. Your house can still have local power, but you won’t be energizing powerlines technicians are trying to fix.












  • I feel like that’s saying that my computer monitor needs a “killer app”.

    That’s the thing though, it has piles of them. Steam is absolutely jam packed with them. Additionally things like, video editors, photo editors, browsers, spreadsheets, word processors, code editors, etc, etc. All of these makes a monitor (or laptop screen) something almost everyone owns. All of these apps are best on a monitor.

    What is best on a Vision Pro?

    It’s just WAY too expensive for people to want to do so

    Yep, the price can make or break a product. And the price makes this product…not good. Particularly when people don’t see much of a point in the product in the first place. VR headsets are niche as hell, the Vision Pro is a niche of a niche.



  • Regulating ISPs as a utility is a pretty big change, not simply a technical detail; it is in the purview of Congress.

    Congressmen aren’t individually drafting bills, they direct their aids to draft the bills and hammer out the details. We don’t need to overhaul our system, we need congressmen to do their job rather than offloading their job to the Executive.

    Edit: Said bill would direct the Executive on how to regulate them as a utility at which point small technical details, as you mention, are handled by the Executive.
