World News@lemmy.ml•Creators vow not to scab as SAG-AFTRA, WGA strikes continue
10·2 years agoMarkiplier mentioned fairly recently that he can’t release the trailer for his Iron Lung movie because of the strike. Before that, I hadn’t really considered a link between Hollywood and YouTubers. Kind of weird to think about.

Technology@lemmy.world•Heat pumps sold so fast in Maine, the state just upped its targetEnglish
54·2 years agoWhen you have to run resistive heaters the electrical usage skyrockets and makes a heat pump system vastly more expensive to operate.
More expensive than a heat pump without a backup/additional electrical resistance heater. Not more expensive than an electrical resistance heater on its own.
That’s what’s so strange about this, in most cases a heat pump would be replacing a non-reversible AC and an electrical resistance heater or gas-fueled furnace. And in nearly every case, even with the need for a backup/additional resistance heater, you’re still saving money. And it’s not like any of this is new technology, it just took forever for it to become popular in the US.

According to the case website, it looks like it’s only people who own a device made by Google that runs their voice assistant. So, Samsung Android users are not included, but anyone with a Google Home device or a Chromecast is included
