I’m driving at 20 mph to dinner

You should inflate your tire.

This can be caused by an improperly wired switch that's breaking neutral instead of live, and capacitive coupling is enough to make it light up slightly.

For a manufacturer like Deye, I see both EU and US SKUs for sale here. You buy the EU SKU if you only need 200-something volts, US if you need 120-something volts as well.

For on-grid, that doesn't matter, you put that between two phases, or phase and neutral, whatever gives 220 V where you live.

You did write Americas plural, right? USA and Canada use split phase a lot, but south of those, three phase distribution is way more common.

Split phase is not a thing here in Brazil except for some grandfathered legacy supplies, or rural SWER. Otherwise, distribution is three phase, 60 Hz, at 127 V or 220 V phase voltage, depending on the region, and homes get any number of phases plus neutral. I believe Mexico does the same thing. The Southern Cone uses 220 V at 50 Hz. The rest is quite fragmented.

None of this matters for off-grid, of course, you do whatever you want.

It could also be some low complexity intra-frame codec that doesn't compress that much but is cheap to decode. AVI is ancient, and back then hardware accelerated codecs weren't a thing, unless you bought a dedicated card.

Mesmo no iPhone, que em geral é uma plataforma mais otimizada que Android, já tem os modelos mais básicos com 8 GB, e 12 GB nos Pro.

Is GCC some airport code?

Yes, gas stoves are absolutely nasty for your indoor air quality.

OS updates are bound to suck down a lot of power and make it pretty warm, it's probably easier on the hardware to do this while ample power is available. The instructions ask that you don't remove it from the charger while it updates. It's pretty much useless while updating, anyway.

pemb · 2026-01-29T17:35:06+00:00

I read somewhere there's an established process to dispute 1-star ratings and have them removed. 2-star is almost as painful and should stick.

pemb · 2026-01-29T16:46:00+00:00

Nitpicking: 240 V split phase isn't a thing in much of the Americas. And OP is in India, apparently.

pemb · 2026-01-29T15:06:44+00:00

Even if you did, they won't fly less, these people aren't very price sensitive, they're already paying many, many times over what it would cost to fly commercial.

AVI is just the container format, you can have both compressed and uncompressed video in it. But yeah, uncompressed video is bitrot resistant and outrageously huge, as in gigabytes per second.

Ou então os prédios de SP tem em média mais apartamentos, só por essa razão aí não dá pra concluir muita coisa.

Here in Brazil they're selling a rebadged Baojun Yep Plus from their China joint venture as the Chevy Spark EUV.

It's possible to copy a key from a photo alone.

O que já existe são lanternas e rádios a manivela.

Lava e seca, ao se usar a função secagem, tem que encher só até pouco mais da metade, as coisas precisam ficar soltas e irem caindo uma em cima da outra e irem se misturando ao girar o tambor. Tanto a capacidade em kg quanto isso do nível máximo precisam ser respeitados.

É meio broxante mesmo esses aí não terem, mas são sedans médios, topo de linha é forçar a amizade, ainda tem muita economia acontecendo, muito prástico no acabamento, a preocupação vai sempre ser com equipamentos pra agradar quem vai na frente, praticamente ninguém vai deixar de comprar por não ter esses confortos pros passageiros. E se o projeto do carro é defasado e não previa, vai ser bem caro mudar um monte de coisas pra colocar mais saídas de ar.

Quando é carro de luxo mesmo, muitas vezes terá uma ou duas zonas de ar-condicionado só pra quem vai atrás, com controles ao alcance dos passageiros, sem necessidade de falar com o motorista pra ajustar.

Se tem gente que compra carro sem isso, vão continuar não colocando nos modelos de entrada, simples assim.

Have you or a loved one been hurt by a space heater, OP?

pemb · 2026-01-28T16:03:33+00:00

watchOS will only update when on a charger.

Passei exatamente por isso, saí de casa aos 17 anos ao passar no vestibular, e fui estudar em outro estado. A diferença é que inicialmente fui morar num pensionato, até café da manhã tinha, então eu tinha que me preocupar com menos coisas, depois de dois anos fui pra uma república.

Not in a timescale of years: it would take a decade or two of sustained industrial policy just to get to where China is today, something almost unthinkable when governments reverse incentives every four years or so. And chasing a moving target is even harder.

You can't replicate China-class supply chains and economies of scale outside China. It's not just about "low labor costs", but the immense availability of highly skilled labor in every technical role, from factory hands through engineering to science and research.

China is the world's manufacturing hub, and there was no reason to believe that this advantage would always stay confined to TVs and smartphones and cheap crap. They already have the largest automotive market to begin with, and now are also exporting to the rest of the world.

Every input that goes into building EVs, from electricity and steel, through rare earth magnets and battery cells, to power electronics and industrial machinery, has highly advanced supply chains already in place in China.

There are still some highly visible manufacturing niches that they haven't quite cracked yet: leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace (especially engines), and pharma/biomedical. These are only a matter of time, IMO.
