ratten@lemmings.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•How big a solar battery do I need to store *all* my home's electricity? - Terence EdenEnglish31·1 day agoActually, yes. Lifting the weight of a Toyota Camry 2 stories seems reasonable for a day’s worth of energy storage for a house.
I’m not sure how expensive the lift and generator will be, but the weight itself can be anything that’s sufficiently heavy.
You say chemical energy is way easier to store, but is it really easier and cheaper to store the energy needed for a home in a chemical battery?

ratten@lemmings.worldto News@lemmy.world•Jimmy Kimmel Pulled “Indefinitely” By ABC After Over Charlie Kirk Comments95·1 day agoDemocrats bear almost as much blame for nominating “lesser-evil” candidates over someone who is actually good.
Donald Trump won because Bernie lost, twice.
ratten@lemmings.worldto News@lemmy.world•‘Censoring you in real time’: suspension of Jimmy Kimmel show sparks shock and fears for free speech9·1 day agoWay ahead of you. I never subscribed to that useful idiot crap in the first place.
Viva la free streaming sites!
ratten@lemmings.worldto News@lemmy.world•‘Censoring you in real time’: suspension of Jimmy Kimmel show sparks shock and fears for free speech151·1 day agoYes, I’ve been against the tribalist take on free speech for awhile now.
Let people say what they want even if it makes you uncomfortable. We need to keep in mind that this censorship isn’t for the censors; it’s for the audience. They want to control what other people get to see, and by extension what they get to think.

“That’s why you’ll never see thousands of them going down a highway at 80 miles an hour.” -1920s idiot who needs to get their crystal ball checked.
ratten@lemmings.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Flying cars crash into each other at Chinese air showEnglish6·1 day agoWe don’t have flying cars because technology has not progressed enough to make it economically viable for the masses.
ratten@lemmings.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Why is the name of the Microsoft Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 hard-coded into the Bluetooth drivers?English51·1 day agoThanks, Legal Department
Another reason why I have 0 respect for anyone working in legal departments for businesses. They are unnecessary and make things worse to justify their existence.

ratten@lemmings.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•‘I’m a modern-day luddite’: Meet the students who don’t use laptopsEnglish502·1 day agoLaptops are extremely useful. It really doesn’t make sense to avoid them.
I pretty much treat mine as my second brain.

Doing so with proprietary software would be illegal.
ratten@lemmings.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigeratorEnglish5·1 day agoThis it’s why there is nothing “smart” in my house.
Sorry, this is just a funny statement.
ratten@lemmings.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigeratorEnglish172·1 day agoAdvertising should be illegal.

ratten@lemmings.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•How big a solar battery do I need to store *all* my home's electricity? - Terence EdenEnglish111·1 day agoHow come we can’t design energy storage that lifts something heavy when there’s excess power, and lets it fall to generate electricity when needed?
ratten@lemmings.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updatesEnglish2·1 day agoGood.
If we’re going to pretend corporations are people, then we should treat them like slaves.
ratten@lemmings.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updatesEnglish1·1 day agoBecause Linux is free software, we can implement the fixes ourselves.
Doing so with Windows or Crapple would literally be illegal.
ratten@lemmings.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updatesEnglish5·1 day agoThese multi-billion dollar corporations have more than enough resources to provide updates for 15 years.
There’s nothing insane about it, unless you’ve been conditioned to live vicariously through business owners.
Yes it is.
Twice.
