Where can I buy a large analogue meter?

Do you have a BEV? The only people I've seen complain about charging times, are people who don't own them.

Personally, I don't see a need for faster charging. My car is a bit shy on range from what I'd like to have, but then it is nearly four years old and they do much better today.

Do what most days? Plug it in when you get home. Set the timer to charge at night when electricity is cheapest and you never have to visit a smelly gas station again.

Many simply don't want to learn about BEVs. They want to believe what they want to believe. That's ok. Anyone will be able to keep their current car as long as they want. They just won't be able to drive it because no one will continue selling gasoline when only 1% of the country want it.

I haven't found a use case my BEV doesn't fit. It does a lot of things my old car didn't. Oh, wait, there's one thing I can't do in my BEV. I can't rev the engine in neutral or make a bunch of noise. Oh, I can't blow smoke out of the exhaust and I can't murder anyone by piping the exhaust into their bedroom window. Yeah, and I can't use the fuel to start a fire. Geez, there are so many gasoline fires in cars. Those things are DANGEROUS!

Yes, my car in Puerto Rico has seat heaters! Niiiiice.

It helps with clock hands as well. I have a cheap wall clock that would die when the battery didn't have enough power to move the second hand uphill. I added a counterweight and it runs a couple of months more now before I need to replace the battery.

That used to be a standard feature on clock hands when they were wind up. A lot of electric clocks don't bother. Also they often don't have second hands. The leverage on the minute and hour hands is a lot greater.

I assume you mean the high beam control? I don't use it. It's pretty good dipping to low beam, but it seems like a lot of things prevent going back to high beam. I just work that myself.

Do you have 10 or 11? I am running wsl with Ubuntu on one machine and Kali on another. wsl has come a long way and there now is a X server included that integrates nicely. I've got a dedicate Linux box too but for some things wsl works well.

I did have problems on the laptop where the system would crash when the display went to sleep. I don't think HyperV played well with the Acer drivers. One or the other may have been fixed by now but I didn't reinstall wsl after removing it.

No, never used DragonOS. I have several RTL_SDR sticks now in the raspis, some are 1 ppm One reads my outside weather station :-) One reads airplane data using dump1090 and logs and displays it:

One reads ship AIS data and logs and displays it:

Also very old version.. Latest one has many more features. One 1 ppm I have laying about as spectrum analyser used with my own software: xpsa is running on my laptop, on the PC and I ported it to Rasberry too. Latest version has more features, I have not released it yet. I have done some QO100 reception stuff like receiving SSB and the wideband transponder with a rtl-sdr stick and some hardware I designed using this software on the laptop: These are the 1ppm sticks I use: There is more...

Yes, huge, but encoded, soem run at lower frame-rate, yes I keep several weeks. Been playing with the Pimoroni IR camera module on Raspberry, low resolution but detects body heat. That has now passed the 'several weeks 24/7 on' test.

Indeed

There is a problem with AMD. Their implementation of VT-D (virtualization to use two OSes on one CPU) sux. It slows the system right down and it's hard to interact with it.

The film shows how people gradually became stupider. The same is happening with programmers because they don't have to fit their programs into tight RAM allocations any more.

I thought they could be turned off out of respect for something, eg. they're talking about a deceased relative.

Of course your arm could always get in the way.

There's a coal hauling train goes past me as there's a power station 10 miles down the road. The rails can't handle the weight, they're constantly repairing them.

Someone has put a rude comment under there!

Do you guys have to put a f****ng flag everywhere?

Yeah we have one of those. Nice smooth tarmac. I often startle people by going for a run barefoot along it. It's perfect for toughening the soles, hard but no sharp things. I also took a Scarlet Macaw with me one time (on a lead long enough for her to fly around), that amused everyone.

Funny, we had a courier service called Amtrak. They went bust.

Russia has loads of stuff to sell, buy that. They'll give you a good price.

Or projector. The Optoma ones are f****ng bright. You can use them with sun streaming through the window.

Windows 3 decades ago is not equal to Windows today.

11 of course. Why not take it as it's free? I bypassed the stupid TPM requirement (which only 1 of my 7 machines passed) using something called Rufus.

Apparently HyperV is an even bigger piece of s**te than VT-X and Oracle Virtualbox.

Isn't wirewrap what amateurs do that can't solder?
