<p>If you want to pretend the only source of information on this subject is the linked article I'm sure you can find many users here to debate within your arbitrary parameters.<p>Same goes for proof, which I'm sure would exclude power flow models if they were available for said debate.<p>Edit: We can agree the article is not comprehensive, and doesn't have data PJM and utilities have not published.</p>

<p>Agreed, this is a difficult topic to simplify. "The grid can handle it" is almost always a * statement.<p>Can it handle it today?
What about next year with the approved interconnects? What about in 2030?
Does "handle it" include summer load or just average, what if temps are 5 degrees hotter than power models ran?
What if PJM can't solve it's high priority overloads this year?<p>People want to talk about the grid as a binary system vs what it really is.<p>If serving those 37 customers forces choices that increase risk or cost for real customers (citizens, critical infrastructure like hospitals), it's a bad deal.<p>It seems like power utilities are optimized to solve problems, and serving these 37 customers can be framed as a solvable problem more easily than "Keeping the grid affordable and reliable" can.</p>

<p>Obviously there are not easy solutions here. Has Mullvad considered offering to buy out Daniel's shares?<p>The mission statement that Mullvad has promised it's users does (did) come with a duty of care.<p>In my eyes that mission statement is compromised, it either dies here and Mullvad is just another product financing political parties by proxy, or something is done.<p>I hope you find a way to protect Mullvad from actions that are counter to your mission statements.</p>

<p>What pcie version are you running? Normally I would not mention one of these, but you have already invested in all the cards, and it could free up some space if any of your lanes being used now are 3.0.<p>If you can afford the 16 (pcie 3) lanes, you could get a PLX ("PCIe Gen3 PLX Packet switch X16 -  x8x8x8x8" on ebay for like $300) and get 4 of your cards up to x8.</p>

<p>I think that was always Alan Moore's intent. The feelings you just listed resonated with the comics audience as it came out decades ago.<p>(Which is not an attempt to discount that it resonates with you now; just pointing out that the subject matter seems timeless at this point.)</p>

<p>That value (of one company) is from speculative investment. I don't think it negates that the field has a perception problem.<p>After seeing something like blockchain run completely afoul/used for the wrong things and embraced by the public for it, I at least agree that AI has a value perception problem.</p>

<p>I do think Facebook and Instagram are forced on the public if they want to fully interact with their peers.<p>I just don't participate in discussions about Facebook marketplace links friends share, or Instagram reels my D&D groups post.<p>So in a sense I agree with you, forcing AI into products is similar to forcing advertising into products.</p>

<p>I believe Berkshire bought (or agreed to buy) part of dominion (a public utility delivering power) on the east coast, I don't know any particulars of how it was run or if the deal even closed.
Thats the only related example I know of (non exhaustive).</p>

<p>This is a really cool project. Your post is the first time I am seeing the figures on how much others also hate CGM notifications.<p>I have been working on software for the G1 headset to display glucose data without any audible alarms, just a visual notification.<p>The issues I run into are:<p>* Dexcom sensors have limited Bluetooth connections (with pump support), so I need to pull data from a phone.<p>* Battery life (I can get 9 hours maybe with a not always on display, a far cry from 6 days).<p>* xDrip gets readings slower than directly from dexcom.<p>* General UI edge cases for missed readings.<p>Thank you for sharing your work, it's validation that others are experiencing this problem and maybe my visual solution will be useful to others (and a watch/audible/haptic device also might be a good complement to what I have now, my solution is not supposed to be the only way to get CGM data.)

<p>It seems like a valid metric to pick on. Premium devices are refreshed early/short cycle their lifespans because they are purchased by customers with disposable income. Budget devices should be sold to last as that's what's important to the customers buying them.<p>As a counter though, I would say with 2gb of ram this device just won't be fast enough for most of its users in 3 years anyway; so although I find this a valid argument to make, a new issue pops up immediately (for me at least).</p>

<p>That question seems like it has to be framed in a misunderstanding of how secure you believe the iOS platform is.
Here's a list of CVEs for iOS just this year: <a href="https://www.bitsight.com/blog/apple-vulnerabilities-cisa-known-exploited-vulnerabilities" rel="nofollow">https://www.bitsight.com/blog/apple-vulnerabilities-cisa-kno...</a><p>If you went back farther, you would find exploits that compromise your iOS device simply by receiving a compromised jpg image, not even by you opening the message. <a href="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/09/apple-patches-clickless-0-day-image-processing-vulnerability-in-ios-macos/" rel="nofollow">https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/09/apple-patches-clickl...</a><p>I think the expectation in 2024 should simply be 0 day exploits are available for purchase that target both platforms, neither is secure.</p>

<p>I have not done either myself to be clear.
I do seem to have made a choice not to read the content (stopped reading it based on tone) and I'm going to hold to that and likely hold it against the author in the future. They are welcome to overcome my bias with good content /arguments.</p>
