Even Level 1 charging is pretty notable, means the vast majority of your daily miles still come from charging at home. This should be achievable if you have an outside plug and an outdoor extension cable.
Though, I suspect from your statement even that isn’t possible due to ownership issues.
The reduction of monitoring is worth it. DJI calls home with your location and even provides tools for police to view the location of drones and drone operators in real time.
Click on page 1; OP linked to page 2 which is chaotic to read first.
Are they going to drop the constant data collection, or is that data collection also considered ‘secure’?
Yeah, a friend had their basement cement cut and repaired to fix a sewage line. I can’t imagine how much more expensive that would be if they had to worry about the entire basement floor immolating when cut.
O, yeah, completely forgot about air gaped machines. Very strong point!
Retro gaming on period-appropriate hardware and OS in 20 years will. (And there likely won’t be security updates for the OS, you would be dumb to connect it to the internet)
Heavy machinery shipping with windows today does.
Your OS not having the correct lan/wan driver happens even today (just less often).
Having an internet outage happens today as well.
Yeah but none of these use cases call for Windows 11.
All the use cases I mentioned are relevant with Windows 11. There is a reason people have been yelling Linux around every corner, and it is because of continued bad decisions by Microsoft like requiring and internet connection for stuff that simply shouldn’t.
I remember it used to be quite common to install an OS and not have internet access. The OS simply lacked the correct LAN or WAN driver; alternatively one might be setting up an OS during an outage.
What would you even do with a PC that never has internet access? (apart from controlling some machinery maybe).
This is actually a massive use-case. Basically every piece of heavy machinery is using the OS it shipped with. Those systems naturally are forbidden from connecting to the internet but happily plug away at their job.
Legacy software in general is a great reason; retro gaming on period-appropriate hardware and OS, for example.
I want one that can do annoying manual labor tasks. ‘Remove all the paint from the concrete porch’ would be a nice command.
Though, with how well AIs are going lately, I could see it deciding to destroy the front door instead if I were to entrust it with a power tool.
I guess the farm really isn’t bringing in the money anymore.
For those who don’t get it, her name is Apple Jack and she works on an apple farm
indoor AC or two
Yeah, these also work pretty well, OP. Just make sure you get the ones with two hoses, not just one for exhaust. The single hose ones create a vacuum in your house that sucks in outside air making them significantly less efficient.
Install a mini-split upstairs, it will keep that zone the correct temperature using it’s own thermometer. It can be downsized a bit as the main HVAC unit will help it out using your existing ducting.
For exact design, I would say have one per bedroom or a multi-zone mini-split that can cover each bedroom.
Many (most?) mini-splits are DIY friendly as well, if you want to save a bunch of money and install it yourself.
Many of those are due for retirement purely due to age. There isn’t a replacement system for many of them. Furthermore, countermeasures have gotten better; future designs will better take these into account.
What the fuck is a GRAVITY BOMB
Simply means it is a free-fall bomb. They are cheaper to make as they don’t require an entire ICBM to deliver.
Tell Russia to stop issuing nuclear threats, we just got another one from Putin in the last 24 hours. It’s easy to dial back tensions when you aren’t being threatened with annihilation on a daily and weekly basis.
I’m really hoping this shit is banned on all government and corporate computers. But, with how poor IT competence is…such a ban will be sporadic at best.
It boggles the mind this isn’t an external download you have to specifically navigate to their website to download and install. The fact it is soon to be on Win 11 systems, just a toggle away, is terrifying. Particularly since lots of people handle your personal data, while data collectors like this are on their machines (and many of those machines will have the collector turned on).
This solves only the most recent of privacy concerns that were only discovered with it recently. The primary concern is the core ‘feature’ itself: Windows recording everything you do and look at.
People work with your personal data on a regular basis, you better hope not a single one of them have this ‘feature’ enabled.
Pentium D processors are pretty power hungry, so factor that into your thoughts. Also make sure you put a modern OS on it that is getting security updates. It probably has Win XP or Vista installed which isn’t safe to connect to any network.
It should work fine as a router as long as you don’t enable any of the packet inspection features. For basic routing and firewalling for a home network it should be plenty powerful. I would personally put a small SATA SSD in it as the main drive and ditch the 90GB HDD.
As an additional idea, if you put a larger SATA drive or two into it you could make it a NAS.
Is this odd? Most cars have had several recalls, and if you have never taken your car in for recall work, you need to go look up what work was (not) done on your VIN and take care of it. Lots of cars are still out there with claymores for airbags, make sure your car isn’t among them.
