A 1kw heater (less, given they're all heat pumps these days) isn't doing squat to the range compared to an 80kw motor.
A gas car has to idle its engine to get heat. It's burning fuel constantly.. that's why you frequently see broken down gas cars in heavy traffic.
Yeah similar in the UK. £3k for a single room mini split. £6k for a two room, etc. There's no way you're doing a whole house for less than bend-over money.
Bah.. NCSA Mosaic FTW.
So companies are people when it's convenient for them to be so, and 'just a business' when it isn't.
The system is broken. Wipe it and start again. I could imagine a system with no configured root but root only is just a security nightmare and not worth using as a starting point.
I really hope that machine isn't exposed to the internet..
In theory a root application can drop capabilities when it starts up and remain root pid, but it's not that common.. it's used for certain system apps that require root to increase security. It is not a replacement for unprivileged users.
Same here, chrome and ublock origin.. did nothing special at all, never seen any of these popups.
I assume it's a slow rollout and we've both been lucky.
I've still yet to see it.. not even had to do any of those things. Something about my setup I guess neutralises it.
Yeah it's a bit shitty right now.. I applied.. 2k with the 7.5k grant (so the bare cost is 9.5k!). Not cost effective but.. wanted to do my bit.
However, I couldn't go ahead, it just didn't make sense.
To get the grant all rooms must be heated, and the cost of required adaptation of my bathroom to add a radiator of the required size was somewhat eyewatering..
Heat pumps must not cool, otherwise they're not eligible, so I'm still on the hook for AC at some point (given how hot it's getting) which is stupid given they're basically the same tech.
Planning rules state that heat pumps are only permitted development within a very specific set of conditions, and because of the noise they make I would have to get planning permission at my own expense (and my neighbours already complain if we talk too loud so likelihood of actually getting it very low).
And, specific to the installer I was using (Octopus)..
They wanted to install a 1mx1m water tank. That won't fit in the airing cupboard (not even close) so they suggested the kitchen... making it difficult or impossible to open the back door..
Their heat pump (daikin) is about 2m wide. My house is only 7.5m wide, you take off 1m each side for the legal thing where heat pumps have to be 1m from the neighbours boundary, space for the door, some drainage.. the only position they could suggest was the middle of the back yard..
What I've read looks good but it's going to need a track record of reliability before I'd trust it.
My first and third vaccine knocked me out for 2 days at a time.. unable to even get out of bed.
Second one, after I'd booked time off work deliberately so I wouldn't surprise anyone by not being there, I had no issues at all...
Same here.
I'm guessing US only.
And cloudflare controls the connectivity.. luckily they're not (yet) evil and are happy just to provide infrastructure.
