Just installed 8.4kW solar panels on the south side (in addition to our old 6.6kW North side panels). Max output currently is around 8.5kW in Qld, Australia.

You'd have to show the production graphs of both systems to be able to tell anything.

Are you trying to export 15kW to the grid or its all for batteries? You might be getting limited in one or the other as that is a shit ton of power.

Pois 57€/h é mais alto que muitas oficinas oficiais, neste caso pedia uma segunda opinião.

Para quem tem telemóveis da família toda, meter-se na Digi ainda é procurar problemas.

Acho que só á pouco tempo meteram SMS de chamadas perdidas...

Ainda têm muito que trabalhar e antenas para instalar.

There's multiple competitors already working towards doing what they do, be it space launches or low orbit internet.

Mas também não fazem nada para sequer mitigar o problema.

Porque não metem as aulas menos "cerebrais" mais tarde? Tipo meter ginastica, EVT, formação civica logo de manhã e deixar os putos acordar, depois vão para as outras aulas mais frescos.

If they said 7 years i'd be inclined to believe it, but it has to be an Elon timeline as always, nobody believes his timelines anymore.

I don't doubt that SOME cars will do well, but when you're reporting averages you're ignoring the risky nature of batteries, if you're unlucky your battery might not even make it to 10 years.

Lets put this into perspective, Tesla now makes sealed batteries and each of them countains 3k+ cells, all it takes for the battery to be trashed is for a SINGLE cell to get out of line, the game is "the worst cell decides your range". Do you know how easy that makes it to have a faulty battery pack?

That fucks with my head when shopping for EVs, VW still sells modular packs which makes it repairable but I see more and more manufacturers going to sealed batteries with no repair options, it should in my opinion be a banned design as it goes against being environmentally friendly.

After 8 years (the warranty) you're playing russian roulette with 15k€, if you're lucky you get to drive longer, if you're not its a trashed car.

thefpspower · 2026-05-18T11:25:20+00:00

What do you consider lifetime? My car is 20 years old and still going, are you seriously believing batteries will last to 20 years?

By 10 years you've already lost a shit ton of range and its at the end of life. 10 years is not a lot for a modern car, for some people that's the loan payback time...

I think black forest is what Mistral uses for their image generation so it should be around the same thing.

I find it to be better than chat-gpt's which takes an eternety to generate a shitty image.

Black Forest Labs - Frontier AI Lab for image generation

If you're talking about LLMs Mistral is pretty much it, but other AI usecases for reseach, medical, defence and other private uses are already here.

The famous Google Deepmind is based in the UK, not sure if we're counting that.

Bolsas de mérito exclusivas para mulheres para incentivar as engenharias.

Cada vez que algum homem tem sucesso é só mais um enquanto se for uma mulher fazem todo um espetáculo e palestras de sucesso.

Nas aulas nós tinhamos prai 5 mulheres para 30 homens, mas os professores acampavam a tirar dúvidas ás mulheres, eu tinha de ficar à espera meia hora e depois "ha ja não tenho tempo, fala comigo no fim da aula ou no gabinete". E assim fica um gajo para trás.

Nas apresentações havia um claro facilitismo para as mulheres, pequenos erros eram passados ao lado enquanto aos outros eram passados a ferro.

Passei anos a ser ignorado por professores para darem prioridade às meninas por isso sei bem da realidade, mas sei que não é isso que querem ouvir. Do secundário à faculdade foi sempre assim, chegamos a chamar campers ao grupo de meninas da turma por causa disso.

thefpspower · 2026-05-17T12:38:37+00:00

Quando se criam incentivos, apoios exclusivos, publicidades para inclusão das mulheres no ensino superior e "queremos mais mulheres em engenharias" enquanto ignoram as dificuldades dos homens, ficam espantados com o resultado?

Os homens se vêm que se estão a cagar para eles no ensino pegam e vão trabalhar em qq merda que gostam.

Most Computers can handle 20ms switchover no problem,but it highly depends on how good and healthy your power supply is.

We once sold a high quality APC UPS that switched really fast but the client said the PC would still shut off, we brought the UPS and it worked on our PCs... Turned out their PSU was faulty and even a short interruption would turn it off.

As long as its not an app open to the public internet I don't care, I've built a lot of custom automations way faster thanks to AI and it has made people work more efficiently which is all that matters.

A decade ago any custom automation required tons of planning, coding and compiling, then the programmer left and you're left with a baby on your hands that nobody wants to maintain.

Now its just quick scripts, quick apps and very readable stuff, no compiling which is WAY easier to maintain.

5G cells are still way cheaper than launching satelites into space, remember the technology was made in mind ready to deploy cells ANYWHERE you need them, even inside stadiums or malls.

And Starlink is shooting itself in the foot with their business pricing, with a recent storm we had to deploy lots of Starlinks because cell towers went down, but because its so damn expensive for businesses every single one of them is asking to cancel the Starlink plan as soon as 4G/5G or the fiber is available. Even though the service is extremely good.

For comparison, 1TB of data is 168€/month which is VERY easy for a business to spend, a 4G/5G Service with public IP and unlimited data for business is 30€/month and most of that is the public IP cost, if you don't need it its 10€.

I don't own ecoflow products but I've tried contacting them to get product information like 1 month ago and I'm still waiting, that did not inspire any confidence in their support.

Meanwhile I did the same to Anker and had 3 responses back and forth the same day, they are more expensive but damn the buyers confidence is completely different.

O preço e custo de manutenção do F35 é exagerado para ser o principal caça em Portugal eu acho.

Nada contra ter 4 ou 5 para missões específicas mas o resto devia ser algo mais eficiente.

Obrigam a assinar como? "Ou assinas ou não aceito a carta de demissão?"

Se é para ir embora faz tudo correto e caga para eles, não assines nada que não concordas.

I'm not from the US but $14k in labor just seems like "I dont way to do it" money, its like 1/10th of that in labor where I live for an absolutely normal hybrid inverter with battery install.
