I would go for an OLED. LG, Samsung and Sony all make good ones. I love my LG C3 and the newer C4 is also great. You could even find a C3 in a larger version so it fits your budget. the more expensive G4 is also there.
You can use it as a dumb tv if you reject the terms and services. (at least on the european versions)
Samsung is also good but lacks dolby vision and they seem to have a particular color profile that people seem to either like a lot or dislike.
depending on the outside temperature, there’s a limit to what the heat pump can do, which an internal electric heater inside the water tank takes over to reach usable shower temperature.
That is also true for solar heaters when there is no sun. and there are not many places that have climates where heat pumps cant operate these days.
Also air source heat pumps can have a COP of 3.5 so or higher. so even with a lower efficiency from the PV you might get ahead. You also get gains from the high COP on cloudy days where you might need resistance heating on the thermal one
I dont think you can claim any of them is better without doing the math.
I think they heat a refrigerant and then use a heat exchanger to transfer that heat to the water.
I would love to see numbers on how they compare against solar panels+ air source heat pump. I guess the solar heater is cheaper, but I would guess photovoltaic+heat pump probably is more efficient all around and it useful for all your home, not just water.
ok. I was not aware the two letter TLD were more restricted than the others. thanks!
I don’t get why they killed it. some regional areas have their own TLD. .cat for Catalonia, for example.
that’s the structure of a bluray disk. It includes all that the player needs to play it (e.g. menus, chapters, etc). The STREAM folder contains the actual video, probably in a .m2ts file (you can convert it to mkv using ffmpeg or similar tools)
while these news are great. it is good to remember than decreasing emissions is not enough.
if you see in a room that is filling fast with water and you are about to drown, would you be relieved if water simply started pouring a bit more slowly?
it will take decades for the atmosphere to get back to normal even if we halted new emissions
pretty sure they want democrats to wake up and change their policies and the only leverage they have is their vote.
Because Wine often needs to run .Net applications and Mono is the easiest way for them to do that.
they were already maintaining a fork of Mono for quite some time. This seems to me like a ceremonial torch passing to make them the ‘official’ owner of the project.
while you might be right some things are more important. why is your comment not directed to people actively blocking these changes? why not just agree to them and move on with these “more important things”. the PR was submitted. the effort had been done already. blocking it is an statement on its own.
Is the abstract concept of “competition” more important than weaning out of fossil fuels in order to keep Earth habitable for humans?
You need to understand, this is written by economists, the people who make a living by justifying human suffering.
Even if it’s a nice solution the licensing issue, they are still deceiving their users. I don’t think I have seen anything like them but they should be clear that they are bluetooth.
Curious. I always imagined it was a reference to the folklore create ‘Imp’.
some contributor agreement does force people to surrender their copyright. MongoDB is probably the most infamous example.
I had the same though. No way they would choose that wording otherwise. they will probably just make it available, also make people who contribute sign their copyright away.
Same goes for words in foreign languages. it just causes confusion. I like how eclipse went for “temurin” (anagram for runtime) for their OpenJDK distribution. no way to cause confusion.
this guy is 100% committed to give nazis a platform, right?
those screens tend to be overpriced for home use and their image quality is not the best since the signaging priorities are different.
I’m not sure about Canada, but in europe you just need to reject the terms of services of the TV OS and you can use it as a dumb tv.
