Do you have any idea what your hardware is actually pulling from the outlet? Maybe it’s not that bad after all?
Mine is pulling around 55W from the wall in its “normal” state. Meaning two 3.5" HDDs spun up, and a bunch of light services running. Which is squarely in “not great, not terrible” territory.
Apart from flipping the power saver switch on the mainboard I haven’t done anything to save power. I haven’t checked if that’s doing anything either. It’s a 3rd gen core i5 iirc, which isn’t great at idle power consumption, so maybe that switch is doing something…
I also haven’t had any luck with getting the drives to spin down reliably anyways, and afaik it’s better for them to just stay spinning so I haven’t bothered much to change that.

6·5 days agoI’d say grooves is a valid term.
But how are you sure that there aren’t any? I feel it’s difficult to tell just by looking at the picture…

2·6 days agoYeah, imagine open source control electronics though.
Similar to 3d printers, then we could have microcontrollers and it’d still be repairable.
Habe aber auch gehört das wenn die oft genug zerstört werden der Körper irgendwann aufgibt. Oder zumindest länger braucht.
Gibt auch noch ipl, das funktioniert so ähnlich wie lasern ist aber irgendwie anders… Und Elektrolyse wie bereits erwähnt.
Wobei ich mir gerade nicht sicher bin ob das nicht doch anders hieß…
At this point I’m so jaded that I just kind of accepted it to be real…
I just don’t care anymore, he’s shown his true colours and for whatever reasons people still like him.
Das ist tatsächlich der allerbeste Zeitpunkt. Habe aber oft keinen Bock nachm duschen.
Alternativ hilft es einen Waschlappen mit heißem Wasser nass zu machen und den vorher auf dem Bart/Wasauchimmer zu drücken.
Das geht ein wenig in die selbe Richtung.
Ja, gibt aber auch noch andere Methoden die los zu werden.
Ah yes, aren’t like half of Americans living paycheck to paycheck?
Moving across half of the world is super affordable, right?
Yeah but my proper desk at home has soo much more potential for distractions…
Actually getting stuff done is easier when I’m away from home on my laptop, but the ergonomics really suck.
I still think that they’d make for a terrible meal.
Maybe they’d make for good fertilizer instead?

Unless you use ir LEDs that could be mistaken for a weapon.

7·20 days agoI’m kinda stumped on what the spikes could be…
Any ideas?
They drive in circles, so sadly it’s no use…
Sorry I should’ve read the second link too, my bad…
Are those economic reasons? Or disaster management?
I’ve yet to ride a carbon frame for any amount of real distance, so idk how good they actually are.
But having a less harsh ride can also be archived by not using the thinnest pizza cutter tires at 10 bar. Especially if we care about time ridden and not avg. speed.
And it’s going to be slightly harder to get the same speed out of comfy tires, so that’s also more exercise.




Where I’m living a car really isn’t needed, but the picture of having an extension cord dangling from my third floor apartment down to the road is kinda funny.
I guess AC charging would be rly nice to have in suburbia… Especially when you also have solar on the roof.
