and different parts of the body resonate at different frequencies...~~part of the reason ~2.4 GHz was picked for the common household microwave is water molecules resonate there~~ (and other harmonically related frequencies too... it's why a lot of the unlicensed ISM stuff is allocated there: crappy atmospheric propagation). also the necessary magnetron and waveguide for that freq is conveniently sized for a kitchen appliance and not too complicated.

EDIT: see proper principle of operation in reply below

the upfront cost for something like geothermal is still outrageous, though. anecdotally, i bought my house with an older unit that ended up catastrophically failing after the reversing valve got stuck and destroyed the compressor. only 1 local shop in the area serviced the thing (same people who installed it when the house was built...) and the unit had long been discontinued since the company that made it (hydro delta) went bankrupt years ago. it was over $15k to put in a new updated unit... luckily my home owners insurance (with the help of a rider i added a year earlier that covered home systems) footed the bill, albeit after a long and arduous battle with the 3rd party shits that state farm outsourced it to. now this new system has a 10 year warranty on parts and labor, otherwise, i would have switched to gas in a heart beat. i can put in a new gas unit every year for 10 years at the same price... so while the geo's monthly electric bill is nice, i wouldn't dare install a new residential build with geo... plus add another easy $50k for the loop field if it's a new install.

i'm afraid what's going to happen once then 10 years are up since that always seems to be about the time major home appliances fail... probably try to move by then so it isn't my problem, lol.

what happened to K.E.V.I.N.!?

just wait until "5g" network slicing becomes more of a thing, soon you'll see all these manufacturers putting UE chipsets in them to bypass end user wifi completely... that's really what the commercial IoT vision has been about all along, big data => dangerous (🎵 cool 'indie' music plays 🎵)

that and the flowing stream of doody down the rear window, keeping true to his name i see.

Don't let it fool you, they'll make exceptions to the rule for the ones they want to keep. This is just a way to make their "worst" performers miserable so they quit instead of laying them off. All the ~~shit~~ tech companies are doing it.

yep, i use Cloudflare's CSAM tool to help aid in this... scans all object storage and cached items against known CSAM hashes. i don't think most people hosting instances consider this as a massive liability if it's open to the web for all to see... the feds (only talking about USA here) will shut you down or worse threaten charges if nothing is done about it.

Don't worry, it's just a friendly meeting with the Bobs

All the worthwhile content creators will (or already have) move on and it'll be even more of AI generated content circlejerk than it already is. No one should feel sorry for lurkers being lazy.

lol... not that i'm an amazon "investor" or anything, but i think most, if not all, openly acknowledge that AWS is the only thing that actually makes money. this is a desperate attempt to make their "store front" look like it's not as big a loss leader than it really is, but either way... they'll get off paying the troll toll and continue on with business as usual. 🙄

they want that sweet IPO pump and dump. when he sells, you'll know it's time to short the shit out of it. and that's if it even happens at this rate, fidelity might up and say fuck you and cut them again, who knows.
