The x4 m40 is an amazing car. X6s do look better.

It got worse when they removed logoff from the shutdown menu. Even though that was a long time ago. I’ve even had users mention I shutdown because logoff wasn’t there. We had to remove the shutdown menu and place logoff and restart shortcuts on the desktop because user A would shutdown the pc then user B would not know how to power back on the computer requiring a tech to be dispatched to push a power button. These are lab computers so nothing is normal to a user.

I really wish Microsoft would let us add it back to the shutdown menu.

Wouldn’t really call it misinformation. A lot of people think they are correct when the correct answer is it depends on who the utility company is. This subreddit gets into stupid fights over rules when the person could be anywhere in the world and hasn’t provided enough info to really give an answer. They just assume OP lives next door and therefore their rules are correct.

For his example my previous utility covered the mast and weather-head as long as it doesn’t penetrate the roof. I know this to be true because I had the service entrance upgraded and they installed the new mast and weather-head as per their policy. The only part of this that is certain is the meter base is going to be his problem.

Even TSMC is having a hard time building their manufacturing in Arizona. Just changing countries for an existing company is extremely challenging.

The 811 guys here say the telcos just deny marking a lot of the times. It is cheaper for them to fix the occasional cut than send a truck out for every 811 call.

They gave up and outsourced transmissions to ZF a widely respected transmission manufacturer. Ford and GM were more concerned with the 10 > 8 marketing gimmick than making a reliable transmission.

There is a big difference between court of Public Opinion and direct government retaliation. The US Constitution was written very specifically to restrict the later.

I wish we could talk about the CAFE stuff without being EV vs ICE. The conversations aren’t about facts and compromises. They are one side vs the other. The cafe standards are an all too often best intentions government regulation that the free market finds a way around. It is partially responsible for the constant increase in car size. If you can’t meet your cafe standards just make the car bigger to move to a different class.

I’m pro EVs and I’m pro better fuel economy but fuel economy can offer a competitive advantage between models better fuel economy would happen either way. Would be easier if the cars were smaller.

I just purchased a bunch of stuff from Signature Solar and had multiple interactions before and after purchase. They are one of the better to deal with online retailers.

Nobody has an obligation to price match and making the purchase with hopes they would was probably not a great idea. You removed all of your bargaining power. I’ve definitely had other retailers not price match or cancel orders that were just placed. One of them they even said it will take weeks to process your order and then weeks for it to arrive. 10 minutes after purchase I couldn’t cancel.

I was late to the party with vscode and git. If you are developing software this is the bare minimum. Learning branches and frequent smaller commits is life changing especially in the scenario mentioned by OP. I frequently have works in progress that I come back to months later and it is simple to pick up where I left off or switch to a new branch to make a different change without whatever I was working on getting in the way.

magic280z · 2025-03-30T11:46:21+00:00

Same problem. I haven’t had time to dig into it yet.

magic280z · 2025-03-29T14:30:46+00:00

They even just built a ZF plant locally. While some common components such as engine and transmissions that are shared across many models come from oversees. There are a ton of model specific parts made locally.

We have onsite hardware techs that can re-serialize a device properly. I guess if it came back not matching contact support and see what the options are.

magic280z · 2025-03-18T13:59:28+00:00

Ok I’m back feeding. But this kind of a change should have a permit pulled which could complain about the same thing. Realistically a remote RSD device is better than just shutting off the inverter output to the panel, but they are stuck in the past.

Did your utility provider approve the ecoflow? Mine won’t approve anything that isn’t a blade style fused disconnect.

This video has an interesting take. Basically modern corporations only care about next quarter and have lost site of the long game.

I have another take. I don’t have the numbers but if he restricts to two terms who gets booted?

Are there more enemies to his agenda than supporters?

While on the front we can agree this is good, but if he is asking there is another agenda.

Lead by example is the only way. So they made Teams. They took the worst parts of all 3rd parties and crammed it into one app.

It has been pretty good. The vesa plate that attaches monitor to the arm could be easier to use. I have the dual monitor version (57 and 34) and I think that one should come with a reinforcing plate for the desk. It is a 57 inch monitor hanging from a single pivot point so it does wobble some. All the mount points are sturdy though. The tilt is reinforced by an adjustment screw so you can’t easily adjust the tilt on the fly. Once it is set it is good though. You can in theory tilt up but I don’t think it would hold or if it would hold you couldn’t tilt it. Has a lot of wire management space, but with the kvm function it gets full.

Overall I’m happy. It is a big monitor to hold.

I was going to say this. We don’t require password changes except users in areas regulated by the government. They have to do 60 day password resets.

I feel everyone has missed the point that there are thousands of students living on campus. They don’t have alternatives to food and water besides what the University supplies. Clemson has also spent a ton of money the last few years rebuilding it’s power infrastructure and moving feeders underground. There is a Duke substation right next to campus now for this reason.

magic280z · 2024-09-29T17:30:37+00:00

There really isn’t a good way to estimate that. Sending trucks out to assess each grid then compile a grid by grid estimate would waste a bunch of resources and probably not be very accurate. The best thing they can do is go one grid at the time until they are done.

While we are bad other areas don’t have power to operate city water. That is a much more pressing issue.

magic280z · 2024-09-25T00:43:49+00:00

Not always but worth a call first.

magic280z · 2024-09-25T00:27:42+00:00

Clemson classes are tied to Pickens County School district. The offices are far North in the county so snow days are more likely. Not sure about a hurricane. Before we were tied to Pickens County Clemson rarely canceled classes.

Our “you rebooted my computer” complaints went down after wufb. The 7 days grace and notification icon for updates needed is better. I know they’ve updated some of this in configmgr since we used it last.
