These were hybrids. I think EVs used to have higher markdown because of battery life concerns, but batteries have proven to have better lifespans than expected. So I don’t know how true that is now.

I always get that and Cunningham’s mixed up. But the good news is it always looks like an intentional use of Cunningham’s Law if I do.

Poe’s Law in action.

Thing probably weighed a few hundred pounds. Putting a person in it would probably kill the thrust to weight and balance… So yeah let’s see Elon test it!

Yeah, the mark down on used cars in the US now just isn’t worth it. I looked at cars recently and a 2 year old car with 45k+ miles was like 4k below sticker for a new one across the street. And you didn’t get to pick your color or add accessories you took what they had.

If you have a NUT server configured then you can depending on UPS vendor. My APC can and that’s how I pull it into HA.

A lot of UPSs will have power metering as well if you’re not already on one.

My rack server uses 150W idle. Granted that’s 2 processors and 48 cores, 256GB ram, and 8 case fans that you can’t cycle less than 35% even though they don’t need to be anywhere near that high.

Does it though? To my knowledge Starlink doesn’t work inside Russia, maybe some near the boarder. This would more impact operations in Crimea / occupied territory, naval drones, and frontline communications.

Macular degeneration for one.

Also good luck disputing a purchase, that seems like a minefield.

Some modern laptops only have s2idle which is garbage. I had to re-enabling hibernate on mine and just use that instead of sleep now.
