New comment by coda_ in "All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027"

Your experience is not at all what I see out there. Most people I know only get new phones because their battery will no longer get them through the day. They hate having to set up a new phone when their old one is totally fine other than the battery.

For the people I know that do upgrade their phones regularly, they typically want to give their old phone to someone who would love a usable phone, but can't afford a new one. Giving a phone with a shot and non-replaceable battery effectively destroys the value of the gift.

I know many people who can't afford to by new, and they avoid buying older or used phones because they fear the battery may be shot.

We obviously have different opinions regarding what most people want... totally fine.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing this. Lots of nostalgia in there.

Isn't that exactly what the article said you should do?

They do allow ssh via a web browser. It may be a "beta" feature, but it doesn't require the client to run anything.

Oh my goodness... Yes, there's Orion and the belt. This gives me way better idea of what I'm seeing. Thank you so much.

Do you (or does anyone) know about how zoomed in the video is at the start? Like is that the milky way and are there some things in that starting frame that I could identify with the naked eye?

It seems like it is already quite zoomed in to start with, but I can't tell how much.

If you wear glasses I suggest trying both with and without your glasses on while moving your head. For me, there is almost no effect without my glasses on. But with glasses, it is quite strong... but I'm not even sure if what I'm seeing when I have my glasses on is actually the intended effect. I've become used to that effect with blue and red light moving in opposite directions relative to each other when I move my head.

As someone said in a another comment:

"There is the heat being removed plus some heat from the compressor and fan."

This is very cool... Love the simplicity. Do you have enough customers to make it worthwhile and ensure the service stays up?

If you went the other way, it would be much faster... But less "around the world".

Have you done any write ups or posts on your build? Or do you have any suggestions of other posts about similar builds? Would love to learn more about what it takes to do this.

I also like my brother, but it will attempt to detect and reject non-authentic ink. I don't update mine anymore because the last time I did, it rejected my cartridges.

And they never say if the amount includes equity in your home. (The video didn't say in this case but I couldn't read the article)

coda_ — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 16:00:31 +0000

That's what I thought as well... But I think what the diagram isn't showing is that the drops are actually moving horizontally to the left at the speed that the jug was moving at the time the drop left the jug. This means each one is moving to the left slightly faster than the one before it... And as they fall this creates an increasing horizontal distance between them... The line is kept at a constant angle due to the fact that the earlier drops are falling downward slightly faster than the later drops. The horizontal and vertical difference between the adjacent drops maintains a 1 to 1 ratio.

The return, for some people, will be more than the just the money though (because they'll attribute some value to the green aspect). For them it doesn't necessarily have to beat the SP500. The sum of the money earned and their perceived green value will likely have to exceed it, I agree.

Very cool concept, I can see a lot of people being interested in this. The site does a good job of simplifying things to make it very accessible as well. After poking around in the FAQ, I don't see anything about selling your investment if you want out. Once you "purchase" some panels/shares, how and where do you sell them? And how is the price of that sale determined? Look forward to learning more about this.
