| Whats better than a smartphone, the answer is a smartphone that doesnt spy on you. /e/foundation OS now rebranded as Murena; does degoogled Android smartphones, u can buy (if in europe) or download a rom for your phone for free (depends if they support that particular phone brand or model). There is another project calledLineage OS but it is not fully degoogled. /e/OS is a fork of Lineage. e.foundation project was founded by the dude that did linux mandrake. I was able to pick up a cheapy android and install /e/OS, Not every app works, but for the most part it does. I been using this for about 2 years,would never go back.

| Looking forward to the broader application of ATSC 3.0 , so called " next gen tv". 4k quality over the air broadcasting. Im holding back on a new tv to see if they put these tuners in mid range TV's next year. Some sources are telling me there's already 3 stations Broadcasting locally but in a tv forum ive been told its not actually happening yet. | |

| Governments just used EncroChat, built in monitoring and "sold" it to criminals worldwide as "spy-free", "government-resistant", private encrypted chat. Except for that the law enforcement could monitor it anytime live. A lot of criminals in the whole world fell for it. Alone in germany there is 100s of convictions of criminals just because of this trojan horse. Murena sounds good tho, but with any tech you should never trust it fully because it could be made by russian/chinese/american intelligence agencies to spy on people who do not want to be spied on. | |

| Musk just said in a year or two there will be everyday robots and it will be a bigger business than electric cars and every household will have a robot to do chores or to replace the husband/wife (well he didnt say that). Interesting how a single person can push forward innovation for the whole world so much. | |

|  I bought this recently to upgrade from Optimate 2 to Optimate 7 (similar to picture but the non select model) I use this to charge my four 12v lead acid gel matt batteries which power my 2000w electric bicycle. They make a charger version for lithium batteries also but lithium batteries are very pricey. This charger is great as it can revive dead batteries, delsulphate them & optimizes the cells in the battery prolonging battery life. I havent owned a car since 2010. I got huge saddle bags for my bicycle and lots of bungee cord and do all my grocery shopping with my electric bicycle. The charger is expensive but will pay for itself as i wont have to buy new batteries every 2-3 years. | |

| I have no clue how these things work, is the Optimate also what you would use to "control" solar panels and put the energy into your batteries, or do you need some different device for that? I love the new ebikes but I live in 3rd floor and some of them are sooo heavy Last edited by tg4ever on 2022-05-24 13:43:28 | |

| Had to look up what KVM was which for others means Kernel Based Virtual Machine, i know the uses for Virtual Machine but i only use it on windows 7 to run xp mode, i`d be curious for KVM what would u use it for in everday life. I looked it up on wikipedia but think i need a simple explaination..lol My bicycle is particulary heavy with a steel frame i bought it like that from a seller in person locally on ebay many years ago using those type of heavy batteries. Luckily i`m on the ground floor. My particular bike is technically illegal in UK as they want u to use 250watts (i think Italy allows 500watts) being 2000watts it can go as fast as 25miles per hour but that draws too much attention so dont do that anymore. I ride it like a normal bicycle to go unnoticed. Its good for hills and as i carry alot of groceries sometimes18 bottles of 2 Litre Mineral waters. When i had a Cat i could carry 5 big bags kitty litter no problem. There are some very lightweight bicycles around which are very easy to carry up and down stairs tho they tend to be very expensive The one i have plugs into wall socket and just charges and maintains batteries, tho i did see on their website they do sell one for solar panel tho i think you need to buy the solar panel from them and it comes with the special device.    I dont actually know much about it thought i`d grab some screenshots for you. It doesnt have all the features of my wall socket one like optimize battery cells, but does have some of the features like saving dead batteries which i think uses the delsuphating mode, may need more research.

|  “Clean energy projects, like those taking electricity generated by solar power from Africa to Europe, will advance in 2023, adding a new dimension to the global energy war.” Selin believes carbon capture and storage – removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it – will grow in importance. “Direct air capture may continue to gain attention alongside natural removal mechanisms like reforestation,” she says. “New demonstration projects are sprouting up worldwide in tandem with supportive policies, building our capacity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” Cynthia Selin, an associate professor at the School for the Future of Innovation in Society and the School of Sustainability at Arizona State University, believes that in 2023, as we continue to build more capacity for renewables, short-term and long-term energy storage such as batteries and hydrogen will be key. “Continued investment and favorable policy conditions … mean that clean hydrogen (including hydrogen made using renewable energy) could see sustained growth, the development of necessary infrastructure, and better cost competitiveness,” she says. “In terms of consumer-facing developments in relation to hydrogen, in ’23 the most likely area of attention will be in long-haul trucking.” | |

| Anyone doing ebikes ? What's your experience ? Are these reliable transportation equipment or novelty toys ? Been shopping for about a year. The more research i do the more disappointed i am. This is bikes in 1800 dollar range. Its clear that end to end quality control is unlikely based on numerous reviews. Very often they will make it right but that's after the fact they sent you something that should never have been sent out like that given these are motorized vehicles you ride at speeds. I hope the manufacturers of the frame, motor and other components are more dedicated to quality than the people packing and shipping the bikes. Currently looking at..... Juiced crosscurrent x Ride1up lmt'd v2 Ride1up 700 series Aventon level 2 Seeing high marks for aventon by people who own multiple brands of bikes. I won't purchase online. Having seen the reviews i will only buy from a shop and do my own inspection at point of sale. | |

| Not really new tech but something I use everyday is my remote controlled on/off outlets that I can control from my desk. I use them to turn lights and external backup HD's on and off from my desk. I also used heavy duty wireless ones from tpLink for my subwoofer amplifiers when they were in the basement and I was upstairs with a phone app.   | |

| The KVM I was talking about is a Keyboard-Video-Mouse switch, so you can easily flip between system, using the same keyboard, monitor and mouse. | |
