Natural monopolies should always be run by the state.

With them being released in 2019 with zero hardware revisions they are just outdated for almost every workload

They are just wildly outdated for most tasks. Even projects like frigate suggest buying different hardware. Coral was released in 2019 and hasn't been updated once. With a jetson nano or even a raspi ai hat you get way more tops

That's why he has written "frontier"

Today there isn't really a price premium for electric cars. With Gas prices being what they are the demand is naturally increasing.

Even with normal Gas prices EVs are cheaper

With smaller companies that can't yield global power. It would be better if cloud, office and OS would be separate. Then you wouldn't get shuffed OneDrive into the OS. It's also better for competition if the playing field is equal and one solution isn't the only one that can deeply integrate. Build APIs or don't do it.

It's more like there are a lot of building restrictions and fines. Overloading the local power systems. Building illegal turbines.

If you can get paid on your waste heat why wouldn't you like that?

500MB is just not enough RAM for a good HA experience. I would go with at least 2GB. If you have a few add-ons running I would go with 4 or more.

If it's an option I would always go with an SSD for HA. It makes a big difference in usability. Writing often and a lot to SD cards, like HA does, kills them way too fast

The Coral isn't recommended by it anymore for most use cases. They're going to support it, but it shows it's age by never being updated for years

People that walk or bike are also more likely to do small shopping locally. This benefits the local economy and gets less money to international big box retailers, which generally pay less taxes.

If you drive by a small market you often won't park your car to go there. Cars and trucks destroy streets fast. Having less of them keeps repairs less frequent. Infrastructure for walking and biking can exist for multiple decades or even millennia

There is also keepass, which you can sync with whatever free cloud storage you want. It might not be the nicest password manager you can use, but you can always use it for free.

Bitwardens free tier is also generous enough that a lot of people won't have to pay

electricity peaks are probably reduced over time by hourly electricity prices. If a lot of people can save money by using electricity at cheaper hours the peak demand is reduced.

Plugging in your EV might charge to 40% immediately. When it charges to 80% doesn't matter if it has that charge in the morning. So it probably charges somewhere in the night.

Starting your dishwasher, washing machine dryer on a timer before you go to work, so it runs when energy is cheaper.

This doesn't eliminate the need for storage, but reduces its need.

More often you use some of the tools you already have, but have to buy additional ones.

They steal it, but give everyone free access. You can download it for free, but can also torrent everything. They don't hoard for themselves, but everyone gets access to what they have. That is the crucial difference.

Only giving access to your material over downloads means that people have to pay if they want to get more of it. If those people don't share it then the material is going to be lost again.

Torrenting all the material slapping using their frontend as a base and just making money is different.

The EU governments should gradually start switching to open source solutions. New software projects should be open source by default and only closed if there is a real reason for it.

The EU is already home to many OS contributors and companies. I like the Red Hat approach where you are profitable, but with open source solutions. It's great for governments because you get support, but it's much easier to compete, which reduces prices.

Smaller companies also give more of their money to open source. Bigger companies can always fork it and develop it internally and can therefore pressure devs to do work for less. Smaller companies have to rely on the projects to keep going and doing it all in house would be way too expensive for most.
