Price of solar dropped 89% in ten years
  • Well, looking at these prices here listed seems like solar in US is really costly for some reason? I have a 9.8kWp system in europe, installed a year or two ago, and it cost me 12k euros. Out of that, I'll get 2ke back in tax rebates, so 1ke for 1kwp.

    During summertime, I get 1500kWh approx in a month. I have one AC unit and two electric cars, and a 24U server rack, and can live without electricity bills some months.

    Avengers Endgame Killed The MCU - How Marvel's $2.8B Finale Broke Kevin Feige's Machine
  • I've tried to see all MCU's offerings following the endgame, and only Loki feels like worth it. Other tv shows felt pretty trash, and latest movies have been "meh" at best.

    Samsung Galaxy foldable sales just beat the Note in Europe
  • I've had the fold3 for 1,5 years now. I have replaced the inner screen protector once which was done within warranty, and I've had no probs aside that. Dropped the phone a few times, too.

    I like it, I dont really want to go back to the dull candybar format.

  • Well fuck snaps. Been using ubuntu for over 15 years and finally starting to move elsewhere, begrudgingly. Finally have had enough after latest lts release.

    Belief or Betrayal? Ukraine’s Conscientious Objectors Face Hostility.
  • Thing is, while I cant of course completely fathom these alternate service requesters' pain as the alternative is horrible war, I served my time in the compulsory military service back in the day. And the alternative to that was jail time at worst.

    As citizens, while people have righs, they have duties, as well. Protecting your family, friends and country is supposed to be your duty, while that hasnt really been the case in the west really in a long time (specifically protecting YOUR contry from aggressors), its something I feel I'm obligated to participitate in.

    It's something one should do when the government calls because tomorrow it might be too late, and there's no coming back from losing in this battle

    Google announces new algorithm that makes FIDO encryption safe from quantum computers
  • As google hasnt given me any reason to trust them in the last decade I wont trust these news without independent 3rd party audit. A little fitting that its them who have one of the most advanced research done in quantum computing, after all..

    The Most Efficient Solar Panels of August 2023
  • kind of interesting comparison. I have a 9.8kWp system, and it consists of 405 or 410W panels. I paid approx 1000 euros per kWp, installed.

    I have an electric car and a 24U server rack, and didn't see an electricity bill whole summer even though we had the 20 year old AC running pretty high all the time.
