A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

living in capitalistic country with a super idiotic "leader" isn't helping me here lol. I hope one day to have the clean energy like you and a battery backup. We have had storms that caused a 6 day outage in the past..

It's great. I have an EV and fill it up when the price goes negative when there is loads of wind and solar.

Yeah I have an EV already which in 3 years still with grid I'm sure saved a lot. I was doing $160 / month on gas with my normal commute.
