The example most people use are farms. The problem often isn't range, it's power consumption. The soil moisture sensor or the cow health tracker a mile away needs to run on batteries for a long time.

Unless you need high data rates, LoRa would be a better option instead of wifi. Especially if you need a new chipset anyway.

Also, on range alone, people are pushing LoRa to insane distances: https://hackaday.com/2023/09/15/new-lora-distance-record-830-miles/

Finland edition, where it apparently started. Action starts at 4:20m in.

Good, wholesome fun.

How long before PG&E blames the rate increases on all those people with solar panels.

Oh wait, they already did.

That's what you might call, a career-limiting decision.

Maybe he slurred his words and meant Virginia.

2020 California Electoral College vote. 55 for Biden/Harris. 0 for Trump/Pence.

California is also part of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, which awards every electoral college vote to the winner of the popular vote.

Thanks! Looks like lots of options out there.

Our power panel is old and we've been advised it may need replacing. I briefly looked at Span panels, with built-in energy monitoring, but they're not cheap. These monitors look like you at least get the data at a much more reasonable price.

RemindMe! 3y “reply to this thread”.

How did you get the breakdown? We have a really old panel and may be looking at getting a new one in the next year. Would love to be able to see the breakdowns and figure out where it's going. FWIW, in PG&E territory.

Not a big fan of gossip, but my buddy sent me these. You may connect the dots. Let's just hope the pre-nup is bulletproof.

Everybody should listen to Uncle Bernie. Really listen. He knows what he's talking about.

From the makers of demand-priced car rides, concert tickets, and rents comes VariPay, a new Demand Based Salary calculator.

Instead of a fixed salary, employee income will be based on how much work there is to do, and when there is enough work, how efficient they were and how much effort they put into it.

The system is purely driven by AI, so nobody can accuse the vendor of favoritism. It runs continuously 24x7, making instant salary calculation updates no matter where in the world you live.

The service can automatically integrate with the previously announced AutoHR system, so firing and re-hiring replacement workers are handled with minimum friction. Efficiency levels can be charted in units of currency, aggregated worker heart-rate levels, or kilo-teardrops.

It comes with a management dashboard showing the amount of salary saved vs a traditional 'time-based' pay system. It also allows alarms to be set and parameters adjusted to accelerate cost-saving measures. Optional modules dynamically calculate management bonuses and maximize shareholder buybacks.

"As the ninth inning drew to a close at San Francisco’s Oracle Park on a recent afternoon, the mood in the stands was dour — the Giants were losing to the White Sox. But in the skies above the stadium, the real game was just getting started.

California and Western gulls glided overhead, scouting the bleachers for garlic fries and ketchup-smeared hot dog buns. The gulls soared steadily by the dozens as the bleachers emptied. Soon, the birds were left alone to engulf any leftover food they could find."

Apologize if this is a dupe, but is there a way to transfer one's acoount from one lemmy instance to another? Ideally, it involves one's posts and comments, but definitely one's saves. Both accounts are active and in good health.

Thanks!
