piped… for privacy… O wait you need to log in first.

A qualified professional should have asked if he had strata approval as it is common to summit the plans for approval before beginning work. The town house I last lived in allowed centra air units but because they would essentially always end up RIGHT BELOW the bedroom windows of the adjacent unit they had restrictions on placement and the noise rating of the units.

This is fairly reasonable as some of the compressor units can be very loud, can you imagine sleeping with your windows open and then some loud AC unit kicks in all night keeping you up because you live so close to the unit that just installed one.

1. He needed approval before making holes in common exterior walls which are under the strata.
2. The strata specifically prohibited air conditioners.

The corporation said the heat pump contravened a bylaw that requires owners to get approval from the strata before altering common property and another bylaw banning air conditioning devices.

I lived in a town house and added central air… I had to summit the install plan from the installer and the noise db rating of the unit I was installing for approval. It was approved then I proceeded.

Sorry in this case the owner screwed up TWICE.

What version of windows and what mouse and keyboard. 99% of them work out of the box and the drivers only add extra functions if there are special features.

neo is the ONLY company doing swap stations, and that is how they work… I also described current, available EVs with available chargers.

And how many years do they support a specific release before making you upgrade.

Looks like MySQL standard releases are one year and LTS releases are 5 or up to 8 with extended support.

So somewhat similar to Microsoft

An EV6 on an capable fast charger can do 10% to 80% in 17 min

They need to make the swap faster / higher throughput or charging is still going to make more sense .

1. Book a swap in the app
2. arrive in the lineup.
3. serves one car at a time like an oil change
4. the station has to constantly be charging the used batteries.

Or

Install 4-6 high speed chargers in the same spot and clear more cars faster .

Essentially the swap station is only better if you arrive without a lineup. The swap takes 7-10min and is manned. If you are one or two cars deep waiting you are better to have just found a charger

All software eventually gets deprecated / unsupported, including free open source projects.

I think the update cycle on MySQL and Mongo is more aggressive than MS SQL.

The only difference is you pay for MS SQL.

For years we invested in better microphones and noise canceling to CLEARLY hear the closest / primary speaker and remove all other noise and distractions.

Now introducing, car noise. Get immerses with the kids fighting in the back seat in surround sound…

No important conference call is complete without you providing your weekly update while your dog licks his balls on the way to the vet for everyone to hear.

So use google wallet…

Instead of rebranding / upgrading one product, Google continues to make new products and have awkward migrations between them.

Or just use a chromium fork that allows ad block plugins…

There wasn’t any h265 support until recent nightlies for windows… so there is that issue. Which is important for watching movies ore even some NVR / Security cameras these days for anything 4K or higher.

True… but you can install content blocker plugins on iOS now from the app store and as far as mobile goes Android offer an alternative.

There’s a lot more vendor lock in than there has been in the past. I don’t see there being a major change without legislation

LOL no… ActiveX on IE was the ultimate lock in, and that is gone now… Also we have A LOT of chromium based clones that don’t have these restrictions… It will still be a popularity contest.

Firefox however is limited by its in ability / unwillingness to license or implement some DRM features / Codecs which kind of sucks.

Internet is dominated by Netscape, then crushed by MS giving its browser away… Firefox steps in for a while and is great but starts to suck / get slow, google steps in people start to shift to google, everyone is on google… Wonder who steps in next.

ELI5 due to my smooth brain with these concepts

Database is a broad term, nearly any computer system that stores structured data like lists of names or transactions has a database of some kind. Dedicated database platforms like MySQL just make it more efficient / faster / easier to query and store data.

I would be MORE surprised if they where still there.

I am somewhat neutral on her, when she was introduced I kind of felt she was a gender swapped bones to setup the bones / spock dynamic but with data.

Sadly the only thing I remember her for is being mean to data, getting rapidly aged, and replacing Picard’s heart, that is 3 out of 22 episodes she is credited in.

For me Crusher vs Pulaski somewhat comes down to bedside manner/ compassion. Pulaski just comes across as a bit blunt and prickly at times and Pulaski just has fewer memorable episodes due to only having the one season.

Heavy equipment is the one area that Hydrogen makes a lot of sense due to the space it takes up and its power density.

However producing the Hydrogen both CLEANLY AND AFFORABLY is still a challenge.
