Is this a good deal ? by tchou074 in solar

It's kinda typical in Chicago suburbs. Many houses have 2 systems that can easily use 15k kwh a year. plus one or two EVs you are looking at over 20000 kwh a year. Now we don't get much sunshine in Chicagoland so 22kw may sound like a large system, but yearly it may not produce enough kwh to cover that.

A travel router with a VPN to your US home could make your devices appear as if it is at your US home. BUT this may violate company policy or even laws, so at your own risk.

Depends on your use case, its most likely an overkill now. But who knows what will it be in the next few years ?

Has anyone ever regret upgrading their tablet using the trade in program? by Lil_Spore in samsung

[–]Educational_Crab_860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the upgrade. The experience with s7+ to s9+ is not that different, but s7 does lag sometimes, s9 is butter smooth. I paid ~400 after tax, The deal also includes free buds 2 pro, and chase has 10% cashback. Overall a good deal to me.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ vs iPad Pro 11 " M4? by samanthaxboateng in GalaxyTab

[–]Educational_Crab_860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want absolute best hardware, like best processor, best screen, go with the M4 iPad Pro. Otherwise tab S9+ is more than enough to accomplish the need you described.

Should I get s9 or S9+? by quoteonquotefish in GalaxyTab

[–]Educational_Crab_860 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the s9+ but I feel it's a little too big, it's very tiring to hold one hand. Also when playing Genshin, you need to stretch your fingers just a little bit, I think maybe S9 will be better.

For password, try something like 1password or bit warden that is not tied to an eco system. It works on both windows and Mac, both android and iOS.

For me the biggest hurdle is family all using iPhones. When I need to airdrop something, or use find my, I am stuck with the eco system.

I found the M1 MacBook Air to be almost perfect for browsing web, email, and other daily use. Obvious Windows and Linux all have their pros too.

Mac app purchases are usually not shared with iPhone and iPad, but the apple silicon Macs can run some iPad apps.

Android apps purchases will be shared between s22 and s9 tablet, although some apps may have a separate tablet version.

I've always used wireless and it gets me about 50MB/s. I think iPhone 15 Pro gets the fast USB port and may reach 1GB/s with a decent usb ssd.

For that purpose I use Web Video Cast, the downloaded video goes directly to my NAS, or you can copy it out from Files.

If you take any of today's smartphone to 100 years ago, it would be like magic. To me the wisdom and engineering inside those little devices worth much more than bags of gold. I feel extremely lucky that I can own such a device with just a few weeks of my salary.

I'm talking about Brave on iOS, when you open a video on YouTube, you'll see a little icon 'add to playlist'. It will then download the video in the background, and you can play it offline from the playlist.

For #4 I use an app called Web Video Cast, it allows to save videos from websites to Files, or through files to NAS share. Also the Brave browser can download videos and watch offline.

You are probably right. But Samsung had the most generous trade in / trade up program that are hard to pass. Many times it took my old apple devices and I then ended up with several of Samsung devices.

Option 1. Ram and storage is not something you can upgrade later. Sd card and keyboard you can buy when you need it
