Yes I do know... I spent $15,900 on mine. Except I use lead acid as at the time I could not buy Lifepo4, next battery refresh will be those.
it was less than the price of them bringing power poles to my home.
And are your storms 5 days of pitch blackness? even during winter storms I still get about 20% power generating during daylight. lastly the $2500 propane generator kicks in if I need to go longer. I have had to run it exactly ONCE in the past two years and I live in mid michigan where we get real winter.
Most people waste that much money on stupid crap for their home like Granite countertops or a 20 jet comfort tub in the master bedrooms bath.
it's called a commercial set. but you will refuse to buy one.
Because the 80" is $11,500. and actually comes with NO inputs. you have to buy an input card for each input. we order them with a single DVI as that is far better than HDMI for places like courtrooms.
You dont. you make your own power and store it. LiFePO4 batteries work awesome at this and have an insane lifespan while accepting abuse well. Install 8000 watts of solar on your home and have a battery bank that can store 5 days worth of power in it. problem solved. Sending it elsewhere only makes other people money. for the price of upgrading a whole cities power grid you could make each home a separate power system off the grid. IF you really need a revenue stream for someone, you now send out people to clean solar panels and sell service contracts on the systems that will need little to no maintenance.
"Municipal Water Supply has backup energy from backup generators. " and the pesky little fact that there are millions of gallons stored up in the air inside of water towers.
You do know that that is exactly what those are used for right? Emergency storage and to even out demand. in most cities they have at least 4 hours of storage up in the air.
Also most city water filtration plants have DUAl 7,200 volt lines coming in from two separate parts of the city as well as huge generators to keep running, but they can not run at full capacity while on the generators.
When I worked as a plant operator for only 7-8 years we could only run about 6 million gallon a day pumping capacity while on the generators, typically we would pump at 24 million gallons a day. if we were lucky and the tanks were full we could go about 21 hours before we had to issue an emergency no water use order. Luckily when we lost both legs of power that means the city was dark and at that time the water demand drops dramatically.
If you would buy a larger pressure/storage tank and have it plumbed into your attic you also would be able to go for quite a while. Sadly most home owners cheap out and go with the small bladder tank down near the well and ever buy the 100 gallon storage mounted up high.
Exactly. It's all a bunch of whining with no real impact at all. and honestly what they have to do to make them compliant is WORSE for the environment.
I live in a tiny town of only 150,000 people. internet choice here is Comcast at a MAX 25Mbps (but they will sell you higher, you just wont get anything more than the 25) or a really shitty DSL that is ran over telco lines that is hostile to the DSL company and refuses to update wires from 1972 that most have water intrusion and other massive problems.
WE get shit internet and Comcast refuses. 100% utterly refuses to upgrade the 15 year old gear in their OTN. And yes I know this for a fact as I used to work there and installed that stuff before I left... friends that are still there have let me in the OTN and it's the exact same gear, hell my post it notes were still on the backs of the rack.
The fault is 100% corporate greed and refusal to spend on infrastructure.
Plus I dont want them to run wire everywhere. we ALREADY have fiber everywhere and it's just sitting there dark. They need to freaking utilize the damned fiber that is already in place and give us real bandwidth
The problem is ISP's and others refuse to upgrade their equipment. Comcast is still running 5 to 10 year old gear in their headends and refuses to upgrade. Many places the MAX a customer can get is really 25mbps but they gladly sell plans higher than that even though the customer will not get what they are paying for.
It's because in the USA we allow profits to trump business quality and it will get worse.
And more and more really dont give a rats about live news and sports. I havent watched the news in 5 years as all I see there is a delayed rehash of what I read online hours before.
And sports..... other than Isle of man and F1 there is no real sports to watch. and most of america does not have F1 and zero coverage of Isle of man so I watch all that online as well.
I hear some people like to watch millionaires chase a ball and fake injuries. In the spring it's a small white ball, in the fall it's a dumb oblong brown ball. If you cant DIE from your sport, it's not a sport.
Honestly Comcast really doesnt have many subscribers as they piss off enough customers that even ones that have no other choice choose nothing over having comcast.
Which is why not one union person should trust a fucking cop. Every state where they busted unions they gave the cops a pass so they would be the goons. The cops stood up and protected the politicians against their union brothers.
Cops are fucking scab goons, dont trust the fuckers, dont give them any respect, They are scum.
Yep. wield the "Report the fuckers" hammer like it's going out of style. if you have ANY information of wrongdoing you release it to press and feds and do it anonymously so they cant punish you.
Step 1 : what is the source IP from? Step 2 : is the source IP from outside the USA? Step 3 : assume it is a cyberattack and throw out the packet. Step 4: go back to step 1.
We never EVER needed anyone from outside the USA to access any of our servers, so we threw out all packets from outside defined IP sources. Solved over 85% of all cyberattack problems. Fake SSH and telnet login attempts dropped from 20 per hour to 1 per week. recently we started to remove IP ranges from Cable Internet providers and that significantly reduced the problems... No we dont care about consumers, we have very specific clients and they dont use consumer cable modems.
Tighten up your firewalls and servers, dont allow ip ranges you dont need. and yes we tell the CTO that when he is off to china that it sucks to be him, he will not have access.
There are a million ways to make it all better and many non authorized kcup sellers already do this.
And those that bitch and moan... it's the fucking closest we have right now to a star trek system to make coffee. I pick what I want put in the pod and go. Granted I have a commercial one at home plumbed into the water and it turns on and off with a timer so it's ready at 6am for me and turns off at 9am to save power.
Granted it's not the beard wearing trendly where you hand grind the organic cat poop beans in a hand crafted way and then steep in glacier water before I use the aeropress into a free trade ceramic mug.... but then I'm half the way to work before the hipsters even get their coffee read to go.
Good thing planes have more than one engine and are designed to fly with at least one failed. oh and the disintegration of the blades... the housing is designed to contain that.
But keep up your Scare tactics... it is effective against the uneducated.

Dang autocorrect.... Displayport (DP) instead of DVI.
Already exists. I install them all the time.

Most dishwashers already have this, my 10 year old one I can pick from 2-4-6 hours later to start. He just doesnt know that his already has it.

Those of us that really use laptops experience differntly.
Dell, Lenovo and Toshiba. I blow them up at least once every 24 months. bad ports hinges shatter, etc... MY macbook 6 years old and still perfect.
But then I do real work unlike most that never let their laptop leave the desk.

easy to dump wikipedia to a text file and then process into a kindle book.

100% the fault of cable companies and shit ISP's.
They want to keep the USA as a third world country as far as internet connectivity goes.
the 15" line needs a refresh badly, and we need the return of the 17" with a 4K display.

Why dont we just change the name of slashdot to Gawker media?
Really This is news? you guys are now grabbing crap from nutjob whack sites? I hears there is some great stuff out there on 4chan.
It's an apple hate story that actually is devoid of anything useful.
Because the boss gets all cranky when I roll in at 10am because it took 2 hours to make my morning coffee.

AS in the whole thing is BS and not actually real.
Yeah, it's been debunked on several sites, and one did an analysis of the video and concluded that he is on a wire from the motion profile.
