I'm really starting to think I'm too much of a grinch to have a mech keyboard :D I'd expect the keyboard to come with O-rings if the manufacturer knew it was noisy. I don't why anyone would think this level of noise is acceptable. My partner has commented a few times on how loud it is.

Going back to my luddite view, it seems most of the noise out of the keyboard is the keys hitting the bottom and then another noise as they spring back and hit the top of the travel. The switch itself is linear and very, very quiet if I take a key and slowly it move it through all the travel. Is...

I've been happy with Agile so far on the 2 weeks I've had it. Reasonably easy to game - we have bits of load during the day on most days so it's been easy to offset the evening oven usage. Very curious how this balances out over the year - hopefully the overnight prices stay low so we can keep...

It's 1g right now :p

We're below 5gCO2/kWh here in the North West until 3pm today! One advantage of being so close to all the windfarms just off the coast :D

We’ve got one half an hour as low as -9.24p/kWh today, with a 5-hour window averaging -5.30p/kWh. Of course I charged the car yesterday :(

Comparing monthly cost is reasonably useless because you don't know what unit cost people are paying, what deals they're on, if they've got batteries etc. Posting actual consumption figures give a better comparison of energy usage.

They're made from the same materials as every other car. Presuming you're talking about the batteries, then companies already recycle them into home batteries which help to further reduce our CO2 emissions. An average EV on an average grid day produces less than 25% of the CO2 emissions of an...

How do you figure this?

Hydrogen is viable for neither of these applications. We absolutely should not change. As a post above says, the entire pipe network, including the pipe that runs from your gas meter to the boiler (which is underneath the house in many, many cases) all need replacing at the same time. How on...

Considering Agile instead of Go/Intelligent Go. We can't do much load shifting, and I don't do many miles, expecting ~1400kWh/year in home EV charging. Seems quite complicated to work out though. We also have a reasonable concentration of 1600-1900 energy usage (oven mostly), though the...

Mine's 29.83p for gas, which is more than 4p over the rates in the table for my area :p that table isn't a hard limit.

I know, hence the paragraph after the quote :p the quote was more a framed around the situation as it is today; I'm sure battery and infrastructure improvements will make it easier for all in the future.

Oh I don't expect to convert anyone or anything like that :) I'm just a fan of BEVs and there's a few stats that can help disprove some common misconceptions. I also recognise they aren't going to fit all use cases, and the transition/practicalities of owning a BEV is more difficult for some...

I know you've already had an earful for this, but some figures: Average car in the UK emits 160gCO2/km. Average grid emissions are 220g/kWh Average EV economy is 5.44km/kWh ...so 220/5.44 is 40gCO2/km for EVs, on average. When the grid is cleaner on good renewable days, such as <30gCO2/kWh...

Hydrogen will never be the solution for personal transport like cars and vans, so good luck with that.

Grrrr, my Azure alert suppression rules work on local time, but the cronjob runs on UTC, so I've had 6 unnecessary emails over the last 3 days :p first world problems. Also agree with the post above - we don't get an extra hour of light, it's just that for a lot of people the sun setting an...

This seems like the best thread to ask in: I'm running my own Minecraft server on a little home lab machine. Have I assumed right that leaving it running has no advantages if my player isn't connected? I.e., if I set up farms or whatever, they won't be running because me not being connected...

Yea it was so detailed it even captured all the little turns I did in a supermarket car park when being fussy about where I parked :D

Nice. Mine came with 2024.2.8 and now on 2024.8.7. I've also set up TeslaMate on my little homelab machine, which is what I think your screenshot is? :D
