On cold winter days, we can average 6kW over 24h, but peak is more like 10 I'd 13. Not talking just about my space heaters with embedded computing power and TBs of storage, but the whole household.
I pay my electric bill by the kWh too, and I don't live in the US. When it comes to household and EV energy consumption, kWh is the unit of choice.
1J is 3600Wh.
No, if you're going to lecture people on this, at least be right about facts. 1W is 1J/s. So multiply by an hour and you get 1Wh = 3600J
That's literraly the same thing,
It's not literally the same thing. The two units are linearly proportional to each other, but they're not the same. If they were the same, then this discussion would be rather silly.
but the name is less confusing because people tend to confuse W and Wh
Finally, something I can agree with. But that's only because physics is so undervalued in most educational systems.
Edit: whoops, I missed the "il" part in "not illegal". Anyway you should definitely not do the following. Allegedly doing the following would be arson, and society frowns upon such things.
Easy:
Identify company
Wait until it's a weekend night. We're not after the wage slaves after all.
Mix polystyrene and gasoline. Remember that gasoline can melt some plastics, so if using a plastic container for mixing do a test first. You do not want napalm all over the place.
Fill the gooey substance in glass bottles.
Cap the bottles. (see #7)
Drive to the company.
Open bottles and put wicks in them. (important not to do this earlier. Driving with open gasoline containers in your car will make you drowsy and is a fire hazard)
If you haven't already got gloves on, put them on and wipe down the bottles - you may have to leave some at some point.
Have accomplices trigger fire alarms all over the local fire department's district. Either automatic fire alarms will be discarded for a bit or the marshall will be tied up investigating.
Light a wick, throw the bottle at the company, try to get it to break a window.
If you're out of bottles or you see blue lights cheese it. Otherwise go back a step and repeat it.
Thing is there's only four manufacturers of reactors in Europe:
French/Japanese Framatome
Italian/Chinese Ansaldo Energia
Czech/Korean Doosan Skoda
German/Russian Nukem
The 44% Chinese part of Ansaldo and the 100% Russian ownership of Nukem is probably not doing either company any favors. That leaves you with Doosan Skoda and Framatome. Considering a nuclear reactor project isn't build in less than a decade, and given the choice between a company that has built several modern reactors and a company that is first in line for a visit from dear old uncle Vlad and haven't commissioned a reactor in 22 years, I'd say that the French is the best bet.
So that the French built the reactor is only logical. That it got delayed to the extreme, that's just what happens when you don't buy a reactor of the rack.
How are they allowed to control how I use my data?
You gave them permission when you signed the deal. Pretty simple.
It's pretty common to buy phones from electronics stores in Denmark, without a carrier attached. So locking down the phone isn't as common here, but that doesn't mean that ISPs aren't still up to no good. I heard about one company that would look at the IP header and if your packets came with a TTL of 63 or less, then the ISP would know that you had a tethered connection and would count the traffic differently.
The justice system probably assigned the judge randomly. It's just finding a judge without wealth is impossible ... which in and of itself is a problem.
You need to be on the same network as the next hop (ie router), otherwise you can't communicate with it. That means that either your ISP or your VPN provider, will have to have the same prefix.
In a matter of "asking" for an IPv6 address, ie using DHCPv6, I don't think most ISPs do this. Hopefully your ISP just hands you a GUA prefix through SLAAC, meaning you'll do a Router Discovery broadcast when enabling IPv6 on your host interface, you'll get a Router Advertisement back, and from that you get the prefix. With the prefix in hand you generate the last 64bits either randomly or through EUI64 (if privacy isn't your thing).
When I say hopefully, it's because at least one of my possible ISPs insists on DHCPv6 with a ridiculously short lease time. Or at least that's what the customer rep said before I ran away.
No, you're thinking of Mercedes, this is BMW so you have to buy the 'fuck you' subscription, just a monthly 15€, to get that amount of response from them.
That subscription is only available for customers who have bought the "car seat heat ON", "car seat heat OFF", "AC direction control with an optional AC temperature control upgrade", AND the "rear mirror defrost" subscriptions ... as well as having less than 20000km on the odometer, past 20k km the subscription is 20€ and requires the "advanced oil leak detection system" subscription (it's just a light on the dash to remind you to casually look where you parked for oil spots)

[a] Fork That Promises Better Features
Have they released anything yet? Or are we at the project stage, where they're yelling at their CLI confused about git?
Promises are cheap, releases matter. I mean I could announce a project called Betterfox, promising to bring better features to a well-known browser. But in reality I'm by myself, overly ambitious, and going to leave the github page abandoned after the initial commit.
Classic DIY landlord story. Had a coworker who bought an all but derelict house, which he split into "apartments" and did all maintenance himself. For him, tenant turnover was pure profit - he'd grab the cheapest paint from the supermarket, slap it on everything (outlets included), give the floors a quick once-over, and pocket the full security deposit. Three months' rent for a Saturday's "work."
His favorite scam? Convincing tenants to pay deposits in cash because it would be "easier to return" from his safe. Several times a year he'd pocket thousands in untaxed cash since there was "no paper trail." Tenant turnover was his real income stream - much better than dealing with those pesky long-term renters always complaining about moldy walls, leaky faucets and unplowed snow.
Last I heard, he was trying to unload the place on Facebook Marketplace. Don't know why, maybe the IRS (or tax daddy, as it's colloquially known in Danish) got wind of his cash flow.
