Inclusive tax, but exclusive service fee, handling fee, network fee, administrative fee, etc. You get the picture.
We are getting screwed by the energy companies and the infrastructure companies. Everyone wants a piece of the pie.
At least (some of us) are getting money back, when your solar production exceeds your consumption. But that is going to change soon.
Dynamic pricing contract. Planning when to charge the car, running dishwasher etc is small effort.
Adding 5KW solar panels and a change of contract, from >€500 to something like €75. Family of 4, pretty heavy usage.
Vic-20, Atari 600 XL, zx-81.
In that order
Asked several to write a c implementation of some basic networking stuff.
ChatGPT: needed to refine my input, got reasonable output. Complete answers, just compile and run.
Google: the output was just a few snippets, nothing to be used as-is.
MSFT: terrible output, and -no suprise here- the compiled code crashed with null pointer references etc. The worst answers ever.
For simple problems (programming low-level microcontrollers), my go to will be ChatGPT everytime.
Google should get it's act together, Microsoft can exit the stage.
Yes this.
Check out the don't vacuum me site and pick a 'hackable' robot. Add Valetudo and you're set.
Using a Roborock S6 here, started by home assistant when no one is home.
For the occasional jobs/accidents, we use a Hyundai cordless. Really robust, easy to clean and properly designed.
What do you think, an epub file is?
That's my understanding.

But I understand not everyone has the resources or is willing to donate.
This is just the beginning...
Ender. Happened back in the days with a 3v2, the stepper drivers on the original mainboard overheat, causing it to 'miss' steps.
Replaced the MB with an improved version, tuned the vRef and never had any issues again.
You might look into tuning the vRef for your machine.
