In Japan they have an IR beacon system to track traffic congestion which works anonymously and lets offline car navigation systems have good-quality traffic info.

iOS does have an API for apps to record the screen throughout the OS these days through Broadcast Extensions, but it has to be user-initiated through the control center screen recording toggle (where they then get to pick what app to record the screen to instead of just saving as a video), it wouldn’t do that people think the T-Mobile app is doing
Yeah what I’ve settled on is one of those $40 generic Chinese 4x2.5G PoE+2x10G SFP+ switches. Gives me:
Would be great to get another 10G for the NAS as well!
For what it’s worth, Synology Hybrid RAID is just a fancy GUI over linux mdraid, so the drives can be mounted on any Linux system (Synology even have instructions for how to do this on their website). You’ll be SOL mounting them with any kind of third-party NAS GUI that expects their own partition layout though.
What are you powering with it?
You plug it straight into the wall, it syncs to the grid and back-feeds it, up to 800W. Your meter stops spinning (or even goes backwards)
because if the grid went down, these types of panels could keep feeding the house, out to the street, and electrocute a line worker
The inverter in these is designed to shut down if it doesn’t detect a waveform from the grid to sync with - they are unable to create a 50 Hz AC wave on their own. As long as the hardware is legit (which is a big if with how easy it is to get unsafe junk in from China) there is no safety issue, it’s purely regulatory.
Yeah when I went over my bank statements for last year, I only went to an ATM a single time in the whole year. Mostly only need cash for stuff like parking
What’s amazing how high they were already in 2024
They’ve been trying in Sweden by pushing paternal leave to make it so the males are just as likely to take time off as women so it’s more equitable, but there was a lot of pushback on “forcing men” to do it and not allowing for “individual choice” as to who takes the parental leave
In Japan they let kids go outside without supervision starting a really young age.
Yeah I live in Japan and my daughter started going on errands (“go get some milk/eggs”) alone at age 5. All kids are then expected to walk themselves to elementary school starting from the first week, there is no room for drop-offs from a car.
Same here. Some of the things that have helped make our situation easier:
What we gave up was doing things together as a couple (romantic dinners etc), as we always had to either bring the kids or stay home with them, but we could still do things on our own when we wanted to. We have family nearby, but they deemed themselves “too old” to look over the kids when they were still babies. Now that our kids are in elementary school age they’ve been able to sleep over once or twice a year when we get to do a parents getaway for our anniversary etc.
In the EU, as long as it’s under 800W it can be plugged directly into an outlet in your home without any kind of installation, back-feeding the grid that way.
You’re not getting paid anything for the power you send back into the grid so anything you don’t use you lose.
And that’s probably what will kill them as payouts get worse and worse making other platforms more attractive as you’re not losing as much. A lot of YouTubers I follow seem to becoming more and more reliant on Patreon as ad revenue goes down.
The lack of alternatives where creators actually get paid for people watching their videos is the biggest problem.
I have a cheap noname chinese switch with 2x10gbit ports and 4x2.5 Gbps ports, so I have the 10 Gbit ports to the internet and my computer, and use a 2.5 gbps port for my NAS, everything else is 1 gbit
This is why I’m still using a Synology ¯\(ツ)/¯
I can install all the fun stuff I want in Docker, but for the core OS services, it’s outsourced to Synology to maintain for me
(or even Ethernet)
Technically, those 100+ Gbps fiber LAN/WAN connections used in data centers are also Ethernet, just not twisted pair.
That said recently I was in a retail store and saw “Cat8” cables for sale that advertised support for 40 Gbps copper ethernet! I wonder if any hardware to support that will ever be released. It is a real standard, approved way back in 2016: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_Gigabit_Ethernet#40GBASE-T
I have symmetrical 10 Gbps at home ($30/mo) and I’ll agree. When it’s nice when you have big updates, for most households 1 Gbps is going to be just fine. As you say, the vast majority of users are bottlenecked by Wi-Fi.
The bigger crime are all the asymmetrical connections that people on technologies like Cable TV networks have, where you get 1-2 Gbps down but only something tiny like 50 Mbps up. This results in crappy video calls, makes off-site/remote backups unfeasible, means you can’t host anything at home, etc.
They’re probably not building out 50 Gbps to the rice farmers
Instagram is extremely popular, and it’s heavily promoted inside of there, with Threads content embedded to almost look like Instagram content but when you tap on it it hops you over to Threads. I’m not surprised that they’ve been able to build a user base while X declines
