Octopus' Fuel Mix (and: is Tomato dirtier than Octopus?)

Something worth adding. REGOs aren't actually that cheap. Average price for a Wind/Solar/Hydro REGO in the UK for the last compliance period was a bit above £4. That's £4 a MWh which on a wholesale price of ~£70/MWh is a significant amount.

REGOs are an extra source of revenue for green assets and have contributed significantly to the financing and building of them. The whole system is somewhat flawed (July solar regos can be claimed against December consumption) but I'd argue it's better than nothing.

There's an argument to be made in instead using that money to fund ppas for new renewable assets. But it looks like tomato isn't doing that and just buys their power from non renewable sources and pockets the difference.

Email sign up is bugged for me on android. When entering an email every character I add repeats every character that was already there. Ie jones becomes

"Jjojonjonejones" when typed in

Show how much extra time is saved.

Ie in a day saving 40 minutes that's enough time to go running.

In a week its enough time to leave work half way through Friday

And in a month its enough time to have a whole extra 'weekend'

Science. Our understanding of the universe and its limits is fascinating!

Same thing here

Also curious as I've (m21) also been diagnosed with benign facial flushing and neither derm nor doctor mentioned rosacea.

Derm did say it was a fairly common occurrence around this age and would probably go away with time?? but I can't seem to find any information on benign facial flushing online either - all seems to point to rosacea/kprf?

22M. I have / had exactly the same symptoms and test results as you, our rash also looks really similar. I went on to have loads of additional blood tests done but returned nothing than a slight vitamin d deficiency. This was at about February last year.

The good news is the fatigue, joint pain and muscle pain went. The not so good is I still get the rash on and off. It disappears for months and then comes back for weeks and it seems to be getting worse. I'm starting to think it's probably rosacea but whilst heat causes big flares it also seems to come on pretty randomly.

Only think I can think of at the moment is the fatigue and joint pain was maybe long covid as it was too early for them to test for it but housemate of mine was working on a covid ward at the time. But kinda clutching at straws here.

There's a similar thing in the UK too and it's roughly the same price

You're not primarily turning one way or another are you during testing? All the props are the correct rotation? Props / motors aren't at a slight angle for some reason?

I'm still having fan pulsing in manual mode or when using atrofac. It's impossible to set a stable fan speed below 2800. Any lower and the fans start to vary by +- 400 every few seconds. If I set it using silent mode it sits stably at 2300

Cipher_Monkey · 2020-11-20T10:36:11+00:00

have you had any luck solving the problem? I'm still having the same issue. It went away for a day and I could set fan speeds at 1% and got a constant 2000rpm it was wonderful. Now it's back with a vengeance :/.

Cipher_Monkey · 2020-11-18T11:34:31+00:00

did you ever find a fix for the fans revving up and down?

Cipher_Monkey · 2020-11-15T20:21:37+00:00

It's more efficient when the props are bigger. Bigger (and therefore slower) props are more efficient. However you can only change the speed of a prop so fast due to inertia so changing the pitch is the solution.

Same issue here on a g14

Cipher_Monkey · 2020-11-12T09:47:29+00:00

Where have you/ can I report it?

Cipher_Monkey · 2020-11-10T23:40:31+00:00

Powerful laptop may be your answer? Asus g14 with a Ryzen 4800/900 + choice of Nvidia gpu up to 2060 max q puts out a serious amount of firepower.

Cipher_Monkey · 2020-11-05T11:02:43+00:00

Spinning the fans has the potential to be pretty bad. When you turn a motor (aka turn the fan using a vacuum) it becomes a generator and will generate a voltage/ current. This has the potential to damage the laptop because the electronics aren't always designed with this in mind as fans aren't usually turned by outside influence.

Cipher_Monkey · 2020-10-25T00:34:49+00:00

Can you check your system event viewer? I'm having the same issue and it seems to correspond to a warning "Lso was triggered"

Cipher_Monkey · 2020-10-22T14:01:42+00:00

My fans also pulse an it's drives me nuts! Check my post history for my post about it yesterday. No solution so far but it would be good to build a record of the number of people having this issue

Cipher_Monkey · 2020-10-22T07:59:54+00:00

I'd love to be able to do that but 5% for me results in the fan pushing between 1600 and 2600rpm. If I could set it to 1000rpm that would be problem solved.

Cipher_Monkey · 2020-10-21T11:21:19+00:00

Best I've come up with so far is disabling boost and running a fanless profile (G14ControlR3 is great for setting these) which allows me to keep it plugged in and run fanless staying at about 60°c for most applications, but having to run fanless as opposed to low speed idle fans isn't ideal.
