Places with the wireless battery powered payment terminals will still work without power for a while. Lots of them don’t even need network, they just sync up later.

But for the most part, if there is a significant power outage, things are screwed anyway.

I think the idea is that there are other events with similar risk profiles, the papal election is just an example of one.

Huh

It’s a custom chip though isn’t it? Seems a strange choice

If you sort by top, there are some quite funny ones.

The marshmallow is eating the kid, not the other way round.

That’s basically what hibernate is. Shouldn’t be hard to offer as an option.

The difficult bit is having it wake from sleep to hibernate itself. I suspect that would require hardware.

Hibernate would be great as it’s a slightly longer restore, but should work the same (if you are willing g to sacrifice the disk space)

Being able to pick up the deck and know it will have battery left would be really nice. It drains pretty fast in sleep mode.

Got my hopes up there might be some sleep limit too. Would much prefer if it shuts down/hibernated after being asleep for more than 26 hours (or past a certain battery level)

That’s a cool photo, from 2022 apparently though, not this year.

Give it a couple of months and they can take photos for next year’s drought lead up…

Do most fridges not have shelves that can be put practically anywhere?

Yeh, not like they can’t work it out.

(That said, they have no idea about my house number because I can’t get them to understand the building I’m in has multiple houses in it…)

… Then the original meter must have been faulty?

All the smart meters do is make it easier to collect the readings (end enable fancy tariffs). The ones in this article are effectively dumb meter versions of the day night tariff options.

I can read way faster than I can type though. You still check it, but it’s pretty good as that kind of stuff once you have an example for it to follow.

Those are the easy time savings though, the safe easy stuff the developer doesn’t have to worry about anymore. (Giving them time do the gnarly stuff)

Would be interesting to see how they measured that metric. Are they tagging individual lines as AI generated?

What those lines are too would be interesting, AI as auto complete is less dangerous than complete generation, but probably also less useful.

It forces gamification and external motivation.

Internal motivation is much stronger but gets ‘defeated’ by external motivation.

Gets me every time, I wish there was a way to turn off all the extra shit, then I might actually learn something.

I think he meant to just not ship to stores until all the online, pre-release orders had been delivered.
