Maybe they just need to give everyone a device that establishes a VPN tunnel so that Elon can’t watch what you’re doing. Worst case then is just denial of service.

I would but getting ssl working is a pain, and browsers whinge if you’re on http.

If it was, and it did, I can’t imagine what would happen next. The world is weird enough as it is.

Hehe ok I’ll wear those down votes. I didn’t understand the reference as I heard it first on The Two Ronnies as ‘a bird in the hand is worth two in the shepherd’s bush’ which I think think might be a carry-on reference.

I didn’t see why l would want a bird in my hand in the first place.

PS - what happened to your D key?

In the case of inverter air conditioning it might make a small difference at it won’t throttle down as it approaches the intended, not commanded, target.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush?

A smart switch that turns off the power when the battery hits 80% and turns it on at 78%? Dunno if that would actually work.

It’ll probably work. Biggest issue will be recovery after power failure as laptops generally stay off.

Next most likely is CPU fan failure, exacerbated if CPU usage causes the fans to run high and nobody is there to blow the dust out.

Other than that I’ve had multiple laptops that run as servers over the years and generally they’re fine. Streaming audio for our community radio station, or shoved behind wall mounted TV’s for updateable PowerPoint displays.

Thanks :)

This is a very basic model, no fans.

The way it’s behaving - freezing in the corner, and drawing very little current - suggest some of the refrigerant has escaped I think. (Low amps at compressor, nothing to compress.)

Wise guy huh :)

Where is Phaelan?

I read your comment and hit back while still processing it.

More input Stephanie. More!

I wonder how they feel about the j6 release. If I were a cop I’d be just that little bit less confident that my coppiness would be worth providing.

Hehe. Good one.

Actually I think the brain uses 30 watts so you’re not far off :)

I really should check my sources! Slacker me.

Might be difficult.

Bicycle riders make 30-70 watts from memory. That’ll run a few LED lights, but if you want the fridge you need five cyclists, and for the aircon about 30 to 50 I think.

Edit: seems my memory of the quantity was wrong.

I think in Rainman, when the 200 toothpicks fell to the ground, Ray counted 196 instantly. There were four left in the box.

The sub name is unrelated, but that’s how I think of it :)

Time to go counting cards…

Poseidon’s Kiss might have healing powers if you’re lucky.

No idea where it came from. It’s just been there for ages and followed from my previous phone before I took it swimming.

PS: Nice.

Yes. It’s great as you get to have an idea how long you’ve been reading and can use it as a trigger to stop for the day.

The cat did a silent fart and jumped off the couch. The wife seemed to think it was me. I never even smelt it.
