Yeah but imagine how much more powerful AI will be by then. Command it to refactor it's sloppy code.

I wouldn't say they are falling. The pricing is just being distributed differently to make it look like you can beat the system.

For my specific plan, the daily rate (supply charge) has gone up from $1.13 to $1.80. That is a price regardless of any usage. This varies depending on what you select for your usage rates. So if you happen to get a lower per kWh rate, then your supply rate goes up.

Time of use also is manipulative. If you have a variable rate (time of use) then your peak time is much higher than your off peak which is higher still if you were on a fixed rate plan. If you select a plan that has 3 "free" hours then the peak time is rediculous priced.

So to sum up.. You have to have a very good understanding of how you use your power.

Home battery systems, and solar to some extent, are essentially 'pre-pay' schemes. A shift of where your money goes. At least for the next 7 to 10 years which is a rough payback period for solar/battery.

I would also like to mention, when Australia introduced the solar panel schemes, the retailers were paying 60c/kWh for infeed, now they are paying 1 to 2c. The high infeed allowed a home owner to offset their bills by infeeding while at work, sometimes even generate a credit just from solar. Certainly not these days. So what would be the next shift after they get everyone on home battery systems.

Very cool!

Need to make the reading text longer though for people such as my super human wife that still had 10 seconds (or more) left after finishing.

It tops out at around 550-600 words per minute.

I think I might generate one of these on a daily basis. Articles and all!

Reminds me of RC Pro Am :-)

I would be looking for a solution to run Minecraft official launcher in Linux. It is heavily integrated with Windows extras such as the Microsoft Store.

This is the last holdout to get my children on Linux.

Have you tried CachyOS? May get the results you are looking for with Desktop or even Handheld addition.

I also had typing classes in the 90s which I believe helped but I was also eager to learn how as I didn't have a computer at home, so any chance to get my hands on a typewriter or computer.

I believe my touch typing speed come about with instant messaging applications such as AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, or chatting in mIRC. I felt the need to type as fast as possible to be able to stay in the conversation with many users or to keep conversation moving as naturally as speaking speed.

I setup dual boot on a second ssd with CachyOS seven months ago and haven't looked back yet.

I was most concerned with gaming on Linux which is why I chose Cachy and was pleasantly surprised on how well it works. Not without some issues but compared to the growing annoyances I have with Windows 11 in the last year or so, I am more than happy with my decision.

I run a modern PC, Intel 14th gen, RTX 4070-Ti, CachyOS with Plasma desktop environment. KDE Plasma is amazing and modern in its own right.

I too have been on CachyOS for 6 months, dual boot but have no need to boot into Windows.

I am running a modern PC (z790, i9-14400k, RTX 4070-Ti)

My main concern was gaming on Linux and I have been pleasantly surprised at the limited issues I have had -- only minor things.

I have recently played around with Gnome-boxes and seems to do the trick although it would be nice have GPU passthrough.

I love CachyOS and the Plasma DE and do not plan to return to Windows.
