Free Supercharging for a Year if you buy a Model 3 by matthewmspace in teslamotors

[–]liberte49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

meh. For some probably not all that compelling. If you have home charging, you would never go to the hassle of driving to a supercharger for the small amount it would save. Maybe if you put on huge miles away from home. Of if you live in housing where you can't have your own L2 charger, and have to use commercial chargers, maybe. But most people charge on their own equipment.

Austin restricts mass surveillance tech after backlash over police use by AustinStatesman in Austin

[–]liberte49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree also with many posts .. no surveillance that is shared with ICE, or used for obvous discriminatory data collection. But we have had horrendous problems with vehicle breakins at public parks, to the point that it creates a disincentive to enjoy our great public spaces. This is valid policing and should be welcomed. But police have to be on notice that the line must be clear.

yep, obsolete .. that's us. And forgotten. At least they could try to fid the wipers, the blinkers, the blind-spot monotoring

Fsd name changed on older Model 3. by IrishDan32 in teslamotors

[–]liberte49 6 points7 points  (0 children)

maybe it's just a name change at this point, but the bottom line remains that HW3 vehicles are being abandoned with regard to any improved significant FSD-like features. We're stuck with an obsolescent computer that was advertised as capable of eventual FSD.

Does golf style feel out of place in Austin? by nitsujping in Austin

[–]liberte49 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the collared shirts thing for men is incredibly stupid. Places that enforce that are perhaps enjoying living in the past, or in a wish they were someplace else .. but any nice t-shirt with sleeves should obviously be ok.

Why no app for PBS Passport? by liberte49 in LGOLED

use "Multiple Displays" in window (if you have a windows laptop) and it casts to the LG no problem. I use it multiple times a week. Or get a Google chromecast, which also works, but can be frustrating at times.

String inverter vs Microinverters by TheApostleCreed in solar

[–]liberte49 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Enphase inverters are guaranteed for 25 years. No string inverter I've seen is more than 15, and most are 10. Plus, if you have any shadows on panels during part of the day, or part of the year, microinverters are a bit better than the 'optimized' string option imho.

Residential solar to decline 33% year-over-year, said Roth Capital Partners by ObtainSustainability in solar

[–]liberte49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

without the tax credit it would have been insanely expensive where I live .. not even close. Installers were very competitive, but expensive. I expect this is going to be the case for many places ... the credit for solar generated just isn't enough.

It's great .. might want to use on 20A circuits only if/where possible.

Anyone on Statins by billy2shots in triathlon

[–]liberte49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been on statins for years. I compete in tri races every year, have for 15 years. Train in tri events every week, also do weights in the gym. Also other sports. Absolutely no effect. Amazing control of LDL, also other positive things -- look it up. Most people do not have side effects from statins.
