Honestly, this should be a to do for any new homeowner - the process is easy and the tools are cheap! At bare minimum, everyone should own an outlet tester and just wander around plugging it into stuff.

You would be shocked (or, at least you will be if you don’t test) to find out how many outlets have a loose/missing connection or are wired backwards. Takes 30 seconds to fix and could save you a lot of headache.

This is fantastic news for vegans! I’m sure all of the “US beef doesn’t directly contribute to deforestation - you’re overreacting” folks will now see the direct connection and stop eating beef…

They weren’t arguing in bad faith right?.. Right?

No issue with embossed logos. Stainless steel is not guaranteed to work though - plain stainless steel is not magnetic (thus doesn’t work), but most manufacturers sandwich other metals between layers of stainless to make them induction compatible

Carbon steel and cast iron are absolutely perfect though

Can’t speak for iOS, but hello from Voyager stable on Android & piefed.zip!

Would be happy to chat if you’re still on the fence but quite frankly induction is better in every way - less energy, faster heatup, more even heating and control, cooler kitchen… the only slight downside is there’s a small subset of pans that dont work

My range hood is magnetic and has about 4 of these stuck on the side

They’re not perfect, because I do sometimes space out through their beeping, but they help keep me on task when I remember to set them

Additionally, as someone else mentioned, my induction stove will shut off if it gets too hot.

If you still struggle, maybe an air fryer is right for you, they typically have timed modes.

Someone else mentioned the dorm room system you have to keep pressing a button to trigger - you could pretty easily recreate this with a countertop induction cooktop, pressure cooker, or air fryer. Just plug into a smart switch, and use Home Assistant + a button, and have it auto shutoff after X time since last button press.

And they didn’t even try to solar power their ISP?!? The nerve of some people.

Also unsure, but adding:

If you installed through Steam, gaming on Linux is pretty seamless and should work out of the box. If you purchased it through another store or acquired through other means, you may have to jump through a hurdle or two to get proton set up and dialed in.

I’ve done Linux desktops on and off over the years but have had multiple Deb-based servers consistently for 10+ years now. Came time to commit to a desktop and I had to go Mint because I knew I’d be apt installing everything and cursing at myself if I went with anything else

Now ask yourself, is that because Google isn’t subsidizing device costs… Or perhaps…

I love 2D pixel art, but the 3D art style here does not do it for me - I wish them the best of luck, but I dont think I’ll be picking this one up any time soon.

Weird phrasing when you’re admitting fault for being racist AF in the next sentence.

If you have economies of scale, and are competing on ground other than having the highest specs on paper, yes. If you’re using the latest hardware and not moving Google volumes of devices though it’s not as easy to keep prices down.

Biggest challenge GOS has is that most hardware vendors do not meet their fairly restrictive hardware security requirements, and those few that do don’t typically allow bootloader unlocking. Pixel devices up until now have been unicorns in those regards.

Unfortunately a lot of “budget” items are being subsidized by your personal information, and the smaller market for privacy-forward goods and services makes economies of scale harder.

Unless governments start passing robust privacy laws, it will just continue to get more and more expensive to live privately with modern conveniences.

Shit I just dropped my phone in the sink! Just give me a minute to hop online… Commercial grade desiccant… 7-10 days shipping… Buy now… Great! In a week I’ll have the driest phone ever!

Is 4chan UK-based? Realistically what happens if they don’t comply? Eventually an IP ban on UK networks that’s easily bypassed with a VPN?
