I have a similar printer but with duplex printing, which I bought because it fits under my sofa. It does everything I wanted it to do; namely, to print double-sided black and white documents and fit under my sofa.

BTW I also recommend the Brother ADS-2xxx series of document scanners, which I bought to scan multi-page double-sided documents automatically. I put the stack of papers in the top, press Go, and it scans to PDF in a few seconds.

I had assumed it was a Uniqlo style thing using tags. That truly is magical, like living in the future. This Amazon stuff with the cameras and constant surveillance, not so much....

Not sure exactly what you're asking but I have a Coral mini pcie with frigate and it works great. Hardly any cpu and tiny power consumption.

It's very weird. I would have thought walking would feel more free than being stuck in traffic all day.

Frankly I think they are still too expensive for most people up front. It's a lot cheaper to run if you can charge at home, but if you can't afford the extra £5k-£10k vs an equivalent petrol car then you're not going to buy it. New EVs in particular are overpriced IMO, whereas the used market is actually pretty good value right now. There's just no point in spending £37k-42k on a new Kia Niro EV when you can get a 3 year old model for £15k-20k that's just as good.

my actual biggest wish, which I will never get because the administrative costs would be astronomical, is that the cost added to goods be directly tied to their recyclability (both in materials and labor) as it would incentivize building more easily recycled products by manufacturers to keep costs competitive.

Interesting point. I guess the price of the individual product won't be differentiated based on cost of recycling, but there will still be an incentive for retailers and therefore manufacturers to make products last longer, which might be better in the long run?

Yeah, I've done the opposite myself - used Windows native webdav integration in file explorer to access my Nextcloud data.

Note that this isn't "syncing" anything in the way that (say) Dropbox would - all the data is stored remotely and you're accessing it online only essentially.

But of course it's optional? I don't understand why it's scandalous that they've put that in the middle? Did you want it in the headline?

Yeah, I know this is the self hosted community, but nothing is as easy and straightforward as OneNote. I keep coming back to it after trying self hosted solutions.

Yeah definitely, it's moving in the right direction. I like what Octopus is doing in general and this fits in with that.

Interesting, but who is charging on Ionity and Osprey at 11pm? Taxi drivers?
