    I understand the CF is getting less expensive, but this is hard to believe!

    California’s giant new batteries kept the lights on in a heat wave

    I got this from the LA Times so I doubt it's BS. I'm a bit surprised that we have come so far and fast getting a decent sized battery backup that's actually useful. It appears that they saved the state from blackouts due to the record temperatures we've been getting lately. Way to go California...

    Ypedal?

    Anyone hear from Ypedal lately? I miss his posts and am curious how he is doing. I wonder if he ever got rid of all the ebike kits he bought to resell. For those who are new to E-S, he was one of the reasons this joint has done so well. He set the here tone for years. I always hoped he would...

    Windows 11 opinions? It's been a month since release

    I had to enable some security setting in the bios of my dyi computer in order to get it to download. It was no big deal to do it. It doesn't seem to be much different than 10. Shrunk the annoying start screen to a widget and added some crap to the taskbar. Today was update day. Did a couple...

    Sad news; Aussie Jester has passed away

    Endless Sphere's favorite jester has died. Stomach cancer got him. Kim was one of ES's colorful characters. He was disabled from a motorcycle accident and stuck with having to use a wheelchair, but that didn't stop him from making one of the most beautiful etrikes around. He was a man of...

    Will your computer be able to run Win11?

    As usual Microsoft is clear as mud when announcing Win11. Apparently it needs a TPM chip available to your system. I don't think that this will be a problem for most. However it looks like it will take getting into the bios and turning on TPM in order to get it to run. I wonder how many new...

    You can say what you want about Bezos and Amazon, but...

    his Ex is A-ok. Anyone that gives millions of dollars away with no strings attached is all right by me. I Like the idea of skipping the professional charity gatekeepers and just cutting a check. Even if a percentage of what she gives gets pissed away, I have a feeling that it will be a smaller...

    Ford etruck F-150 Lighting - Opinions?-

    This could be a winner for Ford. Looks like you can get a barebones, 1ton, 4 wheel drive, 230mi range, short bed for a bit over $30k after credits. Has a 8 hr charge time (w/220v home charger). Comes with a dc/dc converter large enough to be useful. Even has a frunk. :D If their electric power...

    Any recommendations for a VPN? It might be time

    I've tried Tunnel Bear years ago but wasn't impressed. Service was spotty so I tried their paid version but nothing improved. I'm thinking things have gotten better in the VPN world and am looking to try again.

    Our first exploration flight on another planet has just happened. 🎉 It's been a while since Homo S. Has made a step toward for our further survival. Reading the news, at times it seems we are regressing to the caveman level.

    Will this work in an emergency power outage?

    Would it be possible in a power outage to manually disconnect from the grid then use a small battery and 220v inverter to power up my solar system's inverters so I can then get emergency power for my house? Would the small inverter hold up to the solar backfeeding it? My simple mind says it...

    Think trump will testify at his own impeachment?

    I figure the house will haul him on the carpet. Is there anyway he can squirm out of it? I'm going to enjoy him making a fool of himself in full view of his cult.

    Do you think trump will end up like OJ?

    Is he doing his Bronco run right now? His last roll of the dice? Looking foward to bankruptcy & jail... How depressing.
