Strange to see this device here. I have one and use it extensively, but this isn't even the current generation.

It does work well as a travel router, and can pull north of 400Mbps over WireGuard.

Runs openwrt, but not upstream, so installing some packages can be a pain.

Some US washers don't but many do. However, US washers tend to not heat water as quickly or to as high of a temp. The video cites two reasons: 1. US power being 110V vs 220v. 2. US dishwasher heating elements being limited to 800 or 1000 watts because many are designed to potentially share one 20A residential circuit with an oven and/or fridge due to possibly being retrofitted into a kitchen built before built-in dishwashers were standard and manufacturers not wanting to create different models for retrofit vs new installs.

That's the biggest, the weight gone entirely unbalances the plane; if you knew exactly what happened you MIGHT be able to keep it level (and it seems they did for a bit) but eventually airspeed drops, it tips, and cartwheels (which is apparently what it did from the videos).

It's more properly a campaign of the Seven Years War, which was almost a world war of its time.

The Commanche also held out until after the Civil War.

If you give people glasses instead of solo cups, I find that partygoers will tend to treat your house with a lot more care and respect. We have a set of glasses that have little black stickers on them that are a material that works well with chalk, so people can label them.

Yes, there's a risk of breakage & having to clean up, but overall I think it sets a better tone.

Apparently, you can turn off ads quite simply.

* How to turn off ads on your Family Hub The widget will appear by default on the fridges as part of the software update. However, Samsung is giving users the option to turn off ads. To do this, go to the Settings page on the fridge, scroll to Advertisements, select it, and you’ll be taken to a screen where you can toggle off ads.

This will remove the widget entirely. If you think you might actually like the widget’s other features (calendar, weather, and news), you can “X” out a particular ad, and it won’t pop up again. But then you’ll get another ad.

New fiber isn't significantly more power efficient. The other side of the coin is that backhoes haven't become more efficient since the fiber was buried.

Climate change has an effect of course. But stopping land from turning into desert starts with giving vegetation a chance instead of hungry sheep destroying anything green. Some grazing is OK. But overgrazing destroys the land. Once the vegetation is gone, the soil erodes and it no longer absorbs what little rain comes down.

There are some land restore projects in the middle east where the primary action was simply keeping the sheep from eating anything green that sticks out above the soil with simple fences. That seems to work and can restore barren landscapes in a few short years. Some studies in e.g. Jordany and the UK (places like Scottland should be covered in atlantic rainforest instead of being grazed into a barren landscape) and elsewhere seem to indicate that keeping sheep away for a while gives plants and trees a chance to re-establish themselves.

Trees are really vulnerable in their first few years and a tasty snack for grazing animals that without natural predators can strip the land of anything green in no time.
