I'm interested in a fridge that allows you to easily clean the coils.

I have a Samsung fridge that came with the house. The ice has built up twice in 6 months and needed to be left unplugged and open for it to thaw to prevent a loud noise.

Now it is leaky at one of the legs.

It is much larger than a traditional fridge and the coils are not visible. I believe they are behind a panel at the back (bottom) of the fridge.

Ideally the coils would be easily accessible so they can be cleaned periodically.
I am still hoping someone picks up development of uMatrix. NoScript is great, but just too tiresome to use on the modern web, while uMatrix has this genius UI where you can pick the allowed parts of the page easily and save the rules for later if needed. Highly recommend it, though it is sadly no longer supported. For now it works. :-/
This is true, although the Windows model of .exe installers , which require admin permissions, isn't even the one to follow. The macOS, and especially the App Store model is far more user friendly.

The non-esoteric distros and GNOME[1] recognize it and ship with a software manager akin to an app store. Those install snaps or flatpaks with one click. That's how you'd install Steam and all of its dependencies like Proton.

The problem is that some software authors, like Radarr's, don't believe in the model.

I agree, storing with an offset is better here, e.g. prefer `2022-03-13T08:00-04:00` over `2022-03-13T12:00Z` when the regional time zone of the event location was UTC-4 when the event occurred.

Why? As instants they are both equivalent, but one carries additional information, namely the time that was on the wall where and when the event happened.

Fixed offsets will never change, so this really is a frozen snapshot
Isn’t this the failing of all of economics? Everyone modeling anything always assumes Constant growth is the only acceptable way of survival with very little proof. Often with a very bad underlying assumption that we don’t live in a zero sum game (which we clearly do).
People talk about Referer constantly in privacy-related fora, the problem is that there's also still an enormous numbers of sites which will break if it's disabled. Browsers have gradually stripped it down to just the origin, and I expect we'll see it disappear entirely in non-same-origin non-TLS situations eventually, but there's not much more they can do by default.
Perhaps true, but this has already become the typical behavior of YouTube (and most other mainstream social media/media). My comment is focused on this now typical behavior and not the immediate situation. They are indistinguishable anyway.

I will cite a few examples:

Any content that questions the integrity of the 2020 election, but not content that questions the integrity of the 2016 election.

Any mention of possible alternatives to the mRNA vaccines for treating CoViD-19 -- including studies undertaken by reputable organizations.

> I consider clover to be a weed ...

You and Dow chemial, who demonized this Nitrogen fixing wonder in order to make more money.
Yep. CEO and Mayor had a chat, because Mayor is worried about tax bases, and CEO said "sure, I'll bring'em back in." Maybe a hint at favors, but probably just part of the wholesale giving-of-gifts that circulate at those levels.

I doubt the question of productivity, team-building, communication, were even briefly considered as part of the initial decision. Those would all be post-hock rationalizations.

Just my guess.
Very interesting. We need less of the current western media disinformation, skewed reporting and its finger-pointing, and more sober analysis like this.
Are there any exceptions? I generally agree that users should be able to fix stuff. The one scenario I have in mind is that smoke detectors are supposed to be replaced every ten years and they now make some with a 10 year sealed battery. So it's a lifetime battery.
> One of the reasons why we adopted Envoy at Ambassador for our API Gateway was precisely because there was no single _commercial_ entity who controlled Envoy.

I'm a little disappointed that you placed so much weight in that factor. I believe simplicity, reliability, and comprehensive documentation are far more important concerns than whether a commercial entity has control over a project. The flip side of community ownership is more politics, more complexity, bureaucratic decisionmaking, and slower evolution.

Connection/service proxies are a dime a dozen. I suspect you could have picked nginx, haproxy, or the Linkerd proxy and been just as well off.
Or that they pay someone a fair wage. Seriously, if you’re doing aid work right now when donations are pouring in, if you put up a donor pitch saying “we need to hire some Ukrainian translators to help aid go to the right place, can you add 5%?”, what are the odds that you don’t quickly end up with more money than you can find people to hire?

The trap you’re falling into is that the CEO class doesn’t like to legitimize paying for work they don’t consider important. They’ll funnel millions to management consultants who range from useless to net-negative because that money goes to people similar to them, but they often don’t respect “menial” work for the same reason and view it as a cost to be minimized as ruthlessly as possible.

I mention this because it’s not uncommon for IT people to see our current market demand and conclude that we’re in the first camp when most organizations’
senior management think the opposite.
It's a slow moving solution, but abundant bat boxes do wonders for mosquito control. Of course you'll never get rid of them entirely, but the population can be kept really low. Also promoting dragonflies helps a ton.

For ticks, wolves are actually really important. They keep deer and coyote populations in check. Deer of course feed ticks, but what's really interesting is that coyotes have a two fold effect on ticks. First they eat some of the tick predators like opossums. And second they eat mouse predators like foxes, with mice being a major part in tick reproduction. Wolves don't usually eat these smaller animals. So wolves help keep a balance.
this seems to presume that malicious things originating in china scanning/probing other peoples' IP ranges don't use proxies or rented VMs, or relay compromised hosts almost anywhere in the world, etc. all that banning chinese /16 or /12 size netblocks will do is cut down on the clutter in your logs, not actually accomplish anything.

getting scanned and probed by peoples' automated tools looking for vulnerabel daemon RCEs has been a log clutter issue for about 25 years or more now. it's part of the background noise of the internet. ever since the days of having your http daemon logs cluttered up with GET DEFAULT.IDA stuff and similar in 2001.

No, but rabbit poo is tiny and isn't too nasty. It won't stick to your shoe if you stand on it for example.

Your biggest headache with rabbits is they'll eat other plants you might want (vegetables etc), and will dig burrows in random places. But in my opinion, both those are well worth it for having a lawn that mows itself.

> Adobe CC, Microsoft Office and Visual Studios prevent an all out shift to linux for the majority

How do you figure? Most people don't do any real photo editing or real asset creation. Microsoft Office isn't required for anything except Excel and that's fairly specific to a certain type of office worker. Visual Studio has many replacements, especially if you aren't using an MS stack top to bottom.

Heck, when I was in business school (majored in Finance) the profs told us to use Google Docs over MS Office for basically everything except our Excel-specific assignments... Like we'd hand in assignments simply by sharing a Google Doc. So much easier than dealing with Word compatibility nonsense.

Modi think he needs access to Russia weapons to counter Chineses support of Pakistan. Also, the BJP is a neo-fasist organisation than does not care about Indians let alone anyone else.
Great question! My rule of thumb would be for server to server apis use protobufs. Also probably for Android/iOS/Flutter clients (depending on how well the protobuf compiler is integrated in your toolchain). For web clients, last time I checked, grpc-web was the most complete implementation/tool, but couldn't make it work with the rest of our stack. Maybe spending more time I could've, but it got really frustrating and I gave up.
Another way of saying this is that RAM usage doesn't meaningfully scale with storage size in scope of storage systems encountered by actual non theoretical people because the minimum ram available on any system one encounters is sufficient to service the amount of storage that it is possible to use on said system.
It seems this could be accomplished by extensions - at the very least for tab-related requests, as far as I know - since uBlock Origin has a setting that holds every request until it can update the filter lists.
Everyone is wearing headphones & don’t want to be disturbed, so you gotta Slack them.

Or maybe don't interrupt the person who is deep in thought about a complex problem?

I've worked with clients who are fully on board with Slack (or Teams or whatever) and their culture doesn't really do email or phone so the most effective way to communicate with them remotely ends up being to join whatever channels the people you need to work with are on. If you all get along well it can be fun in the same way as any social network. But it can also be toxic to productivity because of the constant interruptions and if anything that effect is worse when everyone gets along because it's like everyone is in permanent water cooler mode as well.
"so few" ... yet enough that our area stayed in maximum stage for an awful long time after case counts came down because the ICU system was so clogged by the unvaccinated.

The lag was because a lot of those people left in body bags. And the ones who survived left in pretty bad shape.

Omicron may not be as fatal percentage-wise, but it's still plenty fatal and a LOT more contagious so it's got numbers on its side.
Most people don't have to replace their phones because of the battery. Your assumption that people would buy only one fourth the amount of phones if they could exchange the battery is wrong.
To stream 4K from commercial services you need HDCP 2.2 or later. This was only introduced in 2013 so a 12 year old TV will not have full HDCP 2.2 support. It might have 2.0 (released in 2008) but that won't enable 4K streaming from a commercial service.

All streaming services require HDCP 2.2 support throughout the device chain. Because commercial displays aren't intended to use on-device streaming services or be used in consumer environments they often lack HDCP 2.2 support. While they might support HCDP 1.4 or 2.0, that will only support FHD content either streaming or disc-based. It's fairly difficult to find specs on commercial displays about their HDCP support level.
I greatly prefer Google docs to Microsoft Office. Their online versions feel like afterthoughts.

Sure, some industries have really stupid conventions. But historically the IT industry doesn't hand out Senior or Lead titles until you attain actual Senior-level characteristics. I know people who've worked for 15 years and aren't Senior.
This is also about developer frustration, but not only. Over the years, I've used various alarm clock apps. There were some Huawei phones where it was literally impossible to get those alarm clock apps to work, because even if you added it to all whitelists, it would still kill the app in the background. Another issue is if you're using a messenger with VoIP functionality that you don't use every day. When an incoming call is received after not using the app for a while, it simply wouldn't ring.

Stock Android already contains energy saving mechanisms that work reasonably well. By piling potentially broken additional battery saving mechanisms on top of that, you risk breaking the phone for certain use cases. At the very least, as a user of that phone, there should be an easy way to exclude certain apps from energy saving measures. (Let's pick out Huawei again, where even if you added an app to such exclusion lists, after a few days the OS would randomly remove the app from that exclusion list again. Plus, there was some kind of "lock" that you could activate in the app switcher, but that lock wouldn't survive a reboot.)

Because some of the energy saving measures are so extreme, some manufacturers put popular apps on internal exclusion lists. These apps work fine, but apps by smaller developers don't. This is a major source of market distortion.

Huawei used to be the worst offender in this space, but it has gotten a little bit better by now. Nokia also had a phase where they had a horribly broken energy saver, but thankfully they got rid of that. Samsung has gotten worse and worse over the last years.
This has been my strategy, too - and the takeaway was that you were best off going with Miele. If that was a tad too pricey, Asko offered pretty much the same quality at a slightly lower price point.

I think Miele just rebrands Liebherr fridges, though.

I went with Asko and have been a happy camper thus far (Fridge, freezer, washer, dryer, dishwasher.) All have been doing what I expect them to with no fuss for 15 years now.

Replaced the pump on the dishwasher once, cost approx $40 for the pump and took me fifteen minutes to replace.

Your attitude indicates that you think dishwasher parts manufacturers are making excessive profits on repair parts somehow, since at least this post of yours: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30662019

Why not go disrupt them and put some of those cash cows into your barn instead?

On phones, last weekend I replaced my wife's iPhone X battery with one from Amazon for $18.99 + $1.19 in tax and 45 minutes of very straightforward work. If that $20.18 repair to get an extra 2 years out of the phone is the result of excessive profiteering or protectionism on the part of Apple, I'm pretty sure I'm OK with it and don't need/want government intervention to "fix" it.

I could have sent taken it to Apple and gotten it replaced for $70, which also seems totally reasonable to me for a parts-and-labor repair to get 2 more years of service.

The parent comment said the price settlement period was a half-hour at a time, I was trying to maximise income to see if it was feasible to scale down to garden size and make a useful amount of money for a small-ish build cost. If it takes longer to pump and longer to drain, it earns less, but you could do it. It doesn't make much difference, it's impractical whatever period.

Going over it again today I'm a factor of a thousand out, in the unhelpful direction, by using mass in grams instead of the correct mass in Kg. So after that adjustment it would take

~180,000 Kg = 3.6e6 Joules in a KWh / 9.81 grav accel / 2 meters

approx 180,000 Kg of water, 180 tons raised 2m to store a single KWh. So approx 60,000,000 Kg of water, 60,000 tons raised 2 meters to store my 333KWh to get a salary style income from doing that best possible trade every day. Approx twenty Olympic swimming pools worth of water. So it's even less relevant whether it's half an hour or not.

As well, a UK home power feed tops out about (240Volts * 60Amps = ~15KW) so the max one could store in a half hour period is ~7KWh. Trading that peak-to-trough would get you ~£2.20/day for moving 1200 tons of water up 2m and back with perfect efficiency, or £1.65/day with Dinorwig's 75% efficiency. Much much smaller, simpler and more convenient to get a 10KWh Li-Ion battery pack for £4k[1] and trade that for £700/year (even then it can't charge or discharge quickly enough for one half-hour period).

(I came to the realisation when working out that I could eat a biscuit, use that energy to walk up two flights of stairs, and then have a KWh of potential energy; free energy means I went very wrong somewhere).

I'm assuming you think this will happen due to less demand for labor.
