I have an LG remote and hate it. Why do I need to use an onscreen pointer to switch inputs?

I like their OLED, but mostly I chose LG more because I was voting against the other guys who are worse.

I had an LG TV and it developed a terrible blue tint after 2 years because LG used low quality backlight LEDs. So now I am avoiding LG. It's the only TV I've had in my life that deteriorated. I am still using an 18 year old Sony in another room which is still as good as new.

If Fritz Boxes would actually be a good product...frequent internet drops, which a simple restart fixes, is that normal for routers from other brands? As a German, I don't know, because I've been forced to use these shitty Fritz Boxes my entire life.

I used to have connection issues every few weeks. I got a digital timer plug and reboot my router every night at 3am, that fixed almost all of my connection drops. I was thinking about this XKCD comic after digging through logs to try and trouble shoot the issue https://xkcd.com/1495/ and just went with the timer solution.

Mind sharing a link to buy one? Not in Germany but am in Portugal looking to buy

RisingFusion · a year ago

Sure thing, here is the solar panel: https://shop.green-cluster.de/products/405-watt-full-black-p... and here is the kit: https://www.netto-online.de/balkonkraftwerk-830-w-600-w-phot...

There are always lots of new deals, if you search for "photovoltaik" on mydealz.de you can find the latest offers in Germany

I've been waiting for consumer level panels to get cheaper forever. You'd think by now that you could get a 200W panel for $50. But they have been the same $200 for what seems like a decade now (I suppose they didn't go up with inflation, but still)

RisingFusion · a year ago

In Germany, 405 Watt panels new can be had for 65 euros. The law allows up to 800W to be connected to homes with relatively little bureaucracy, as a balcony solar power plant which renters can install without modifying the building. This seems to have pushed the price down, so there are many 800W kits including panels, an inverter and cables available for under 400 euros.

If you're not just making slow progress but literally unable to make a single bit of progress, my goto strategy is similar to what writers call a vomit draft.

For writing it conventionally means means writing words without stopping to plan or edit, no corrections allowed, the rule is you just have to keep typing, no matter what. It's about something being better than nothing, creating momentum, and also avoids being too critical because you literally can not stop and make edits to old work.

Remember the only rule is keep typing. Even if it means typing random nonsense for awhile.

I do all that but I sometimes make it even more extreme. I make it the goal to produce truly terrible version of the the thing I'm trying to make. Full of cliches and tropes in writing. Amateur coding mistakes if it's a technical project. Not just bad but legit so awful that I would truly embarrassed if somebody else saw it. Like literally, what would so shoddy I'd be afraid to have someone look at my screen right now. I mean literally ask yourself what work is so bad you would be humiliated if your advisor saw it. Make that your goal.

But it still works. After you have something even it's an abomination, it gets your brain thinking about it and working on it, and it's so much easier to make the obvious improvements, and then more, and eventually you are just doing things normally.

I took a similar approach with my thesis, I used voice typing while writing my first draft. The other approach I use in combination is writing every heading and subheading to create a document outline, then fill the gaps. The power of these approaches are breaking down the work into smaller manageable chunks.

  Résumé/CV: Available by email
  Email: risingfusion@web.de

  I have an engineering PhD and I am currently working as a postdoc, and have an additional 3 and a half years of professional experience as an engineer. I have experience working with a remote team around the world. I am experienced in machine learning and data analysis. I have worked on research projects where I have applied regression, classification, feature extraction for analysis of time series data and spectrometer data. This was mostly in Python with Tensorflow and Keras. I have used feature extraction to maximise performance and covert 1D data into 2D formats, and used transfer learning and image recognition techniques with excellent results. I have also worked programming microcontrollers (ESP32 and STM32) and worked on electronic schematic design and PCB design. I am looking for a position primarily focused on ML and data science. I have a limited contract for my current position and I am hoping to start a new position in Jan or Feb 2023. I am also happy to work hours that would give some overlap with time zones in USA/Canada.

Same issue for me.

Password is only used for lastpass. It was caught since I use 2FA. I did previously have "The Great Suspender" chrome extension, which changed hands and had an update including malware, I wonder if this was the culprit.

I last changed my master password on November 24, 2017, the previous exploit was apparently resolved in July 2016.

> Heck, a decade and a half ago there were claims that governments could narrow a search for an audio file upload based on the deviation from 60hz on the power line noise - in an audio recording.

Wow. Any source for this?

RisingFusion · 5 years ago

I think it was referring to Electrical network frequency analysis, which is to find the time that the recording was made. It compares small changes in mains hum frequency to historic records of the changes. I am not sure how it is in the US, but the UK grid has a single frequency over the network so it wouldn't work for finding the location.
