Only 1% of US Homes Have Changed Hands So Far This Year, Redfin Says

Jump

  • Home turnover is generally a sign of economic mobility. People should be able to afford nicer homes a few times in their life, or move to pursue greater opportunities. Having 25% fewer homes being sold means those conditions that cause people to move (to hopefully better situations) are not occurring.

  • Larger screens are harder to use one handed though. I really just want a screen sized to be used one handed by most people. I'd also argue that with Swype and similar stuff, typing on a keyboard really doesn't need that much accuracy these days.

    • LED lights are meant to save energy. They’re creating glaring problems

  • So LEDs are generally very bright by default, and there's a limit to how much you can really dim that. The solution used is often to flicker the LED at high speed, imperceptible to human eyes, called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). Basically, by changing the percentage of time the LED is on (the width of the ON pulse) you change the perceived brightness off the light.

    Cheap LED designs do this slower, cause the hardware and LEDs are cheaper. It's not really to save energy, but to adjust brightness and manage heat.

    Also, probably more importantly, cheap LED bulb designs just don't deal with AC current as well, so you get the 60Hz flicker from the electrical line cause that doesn't get regulated out correctly when converting to DC.

    • What's the point of buying new phones every years?

    Jump

  • Yeah, after they stopped I decided to try a Pixel for the fun of it. So far I hate it. Debating between trying Apple now that they're being forced to use USB C, or just going back to Samsung next year...

    • Plan on getting a Linux laptop: any suggestions?

  • Don't get an HP. Had one for work that I had to change to Ubuntu, and I couldn't find any compatible WiFi drivers somehow.

    • What's the point of buying new phones every years?

    Jump

  • There was a couple years where I could trade in last year's Samsung for like $100 below the cost of the new phone, and they'd give me $250 in accessories with that. It was honestly just the cheapest option for a bit.

  • Wow, you got me to Google the guy. I was expecting a bad incident or two, but the list just goes on and on.
