It is, if you are just dealing with bare batteries without any kind of protection, but if you are dealing with cellphones/modern smart devices, not so much

Yea, but that wasn’t a great rest. I love Great Scott, but a lot of comments fairly call out his conclusion.

Most (all?)phones don’t charge at full speed to 100% charge, they fast charge when the battery is almoast empty, and charge slower the more full it gets.

I assume if they DON’T flip it, it gets passed yo the next guy with 4 people tied to the track.

33junctions down the road, and it’s the population of the earth tied down.

Americans dumbfounded, still vote conservative to own the libs

I really hope it was Lego Island.

Have a 75" display, the size is nice, but still a ways from a theater experience, would really need 95" plus.

Yea, I use calibre to strip it, have my entire collection backed up

Yea, love my kobo

Just bought a new 7" Libra, my only complaint is the colour screen is lower contrast than a pure black and white

Crippling insecurity.

God, I can’t believe you went even exagurating: https://youtu.be/ugrn6DNAYEU

32000 people in the city, so that’s like… 10%?

Crazy low

Unless your computer is from the 70s, it has a computer.

That said, “always connected, getting firmware updates” is a new thing.

Oh, for sure, it’s just for fun

My entire design goal is making it invisible for my wife, so things just work. As an example, I took our doorbell, and made it smart… Not a smart doorbell, but I have an esphome between the doorbell and the chime, so I can turn the chime off, or I can have our phonea get notified.

If only there was a trader partner rich on rare earth metals, right beside the usa… And if only USA hadn’t burnt their relation…

Home assistant is the way to go, all run locally on a homePC, I have ZigBee lights and switches automated

An example is my front deck lights turn on at sundown, at 10% brightness, at 11;00 pm they drop to 1%.

If motion is detected they brighten up for a bit. On holidays they have appropriate RFB effects.

All of this is automated, none of it talks to the internet.

My current project is making a harry potter style “clock”, with hands for me, my wife, and kids. Can set up some geofencing. Run off some ESPhome and the HA app, which reports directly to my install, without releasing tracking info.

The 8 wars Trump claims to have ended

Israel and Iran

Rwanda and Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)

Armenia and Azerbaijan

Thailand and Cambodia

India and Pakistan

Egypt and Ethiopia

Serbia and Kosovo

Rwanda

Gabon

Don’t forget supporters of pedophiles and friends of Epstein

Yea, I use it for home assistant, it’s amazingly powerful… And so incredibly dumb

It will take my if and statements, and shrunk it to 1/3 the length, while being twice as to robust… While missing that one of the arguments is entirely in the wrong place.
