Test your real ping from the modem and from a wired connection directly (no wifi).

That will give you a good reference of what to expect in term of latency and bandwidth. Do the test multiple time at different moment of the day. The best results are usually during the night, after midnight. If you have optic fiber, the difference should not be so big.

If the ping is bad from this point, no materials in the home would fix that unfortunately.

For gaming, it’s better to rely on wired connection than wifi. Even more if the wifi is bouncing from wifi relay to the modem.

it’s why we have API showing occupancy in near-real time. It’s visible on the car map usually or phone app).

I also coded a little dashboard showing the stations occupancy near me before buying and honestly I saw the same pattern than a classic station (= loaded during home/office travel)

Of course, home is far better… even better if you have solar panels and batteries.

But I wanted to share my experience because I was previously thinking “I need a home charge point to make it viable”. Now? Not so much :-)

It’s a station that provide 2 x 160kW and 2 x 320kW charge points for a price slightly above the price of home electricity. Cost me ~10€ to charge from <30% to 90% (-45kW)

Quite classic here (we don’t call them supercharger). I see around 150 stations in the 50km range around me with at least one 100kW charge point. So I wouldn’t call it anecdotal as it’s how people in appartement are doing it too around me.

Charging at home would cost me obviously less… if I had no installation cost and need to require authorization to the others owners, etc… But the difference is small. Station is at 0.25€/kWh while home price is 0.27€ during peak hours and 0.20€ the other hours. If we had solar at home, home would win easily of course.

Regarding the charging rate, not really as the car balance the battery by rotating them automatically to have cells pack aging globally at the same rate (the car have a little more than annouced to have some margin in the cycle of the battery… it’s quite clever). And they also apply proper heat control during the charge. So the battery don’t degrade that much.

Litte remarks regarding EV and not having a point of charge at home.

I have an EV but don’t own a house to charge it. Neither have a charging point on my appartement parking or my office (too complex/expensive to install). So I delayed buying an EV during few years. But I did the switch last year and don’t regret it at all.

The solution?

I found a charging station with good price at 7km of my place.

When I come back from office and I’m starting to be below 30% battery remaining, I go there and charge up to 90% during ~30 min.

I read a book on my tablet while waiting in the car with the music and air conditioning (as it quite hot currently) while charging at approx 80/90 45 kW/h… A nice break before going home to be honest ^^

I really handle the EV like a classic combustion engine car but with a small tank. Instead of having 800km of autonomy, i have 400~450km.

The key is to have a reliable and cheap charging station near your daily travel. Best being having it at home but it’s definitely not mandatory.

I’m currently at an average of 4.02€ for 100km driven and my charging station doesn’t require monthly fee. Just register an account, associate your car once and now it’s plug and charge.

I share your view regarding the grid, you need to prepare it properly and good charging station is the first step.

Edit: Fixed the amount I usually charge: it’s more around 45kW per charge.

Yes they are expensive but the fact that you have an official (and supported) upgrade path possible for my little printer bought more than a decade ago is really recommendable. And I love mounting it myself. You learn a lot about the product during this process.

ha yes, it’s retro in my native tongue but reverse in English. Well, I keep it because i find this mistake funny :)

yeah, a lot of PR effort for Bambu while the reality is slightly different.

An example: they say: we didn’t patch the security hole (the user agent “chech”) because the user experience would have been affected blablabla…

Well, they introduced this security hole on linux BECAUSE they deployed the new mandatory network “plugin” (that you are forced to use because: it’s automatically installed and it’s mandatory to print even locally) without providing a working solution for all their linux customers when deploying it.

Yes! They didn’t implement a real authentication solution for their own linux implementation AND they didn’t answer to their linux customers who had the software broken for MONTHS.

And them providing this user agent hack solution months later allowed anybody to understand how it worked without retro engineering their network plugin (something the article forgot to mention but it was the main attack vector of bambu against the developer threateninghim to go to federal jail, something they also forgot to mention).

Great user experience mindset here. Breaking their printer to introduce a mandatory connectivity plugin (reminder: linux is officially supported on the marketing pages) and threatening those who try to fix it using just what the license allows them to do.

I suspect the DDOS attack they had on their cloud service is more linked to their change of mind regarding this mandatory network plugin.

It could be all the linux client trying to download their network plugin but failing and retrying in loop. That wouldn’t surprise me following the user agent choice.

Or people unhappy. After all, they changed the terms of the contract after users bought the printer. Really a Dark Vader style of user experience here!

If you want to avoid this kind of amateurish/parasitic behavior, buy the original: Prusa.

I’ve one printer from them since many years that I upgrade each few years. Currently, I’m waiting for a sale for the upgrade kit to the Core+

definitely with a 99.9999999% score :)

If it was really an let’s encrypt issue, lot of people would have complained. Servers all around the world would have returned errors. I would have a lot of issues but nothing happened, certificates were issued normally.

If they are issuing certificate with let’s encrypt manually, it’s their fault as let’s encrypt ecosystem is made to be automatic in the first place.

SSL deployment were highly a painful process before let’s encrypt but now, it’s so easy. i love it.

you’re not even able to get healthy food on a daily basis anymore.

so yeah, let’s also reduce the regulation in favor for these big corporations that… for sure… will be totally reasonable and won’t screw up kids with addictive products directly served in schools without parents supervision.

/agree.

For those who don’t know, the default certificate update bots working with let’s encrpt checks everyday the server certificate and replace it when its expiration date is in less than a month.

This delay let enough time to fix any update issues (on your side or let’s encrypt side) that could occur. These systems works quite well and for free!

So definitely not an responsibility of let’s encrypt here.

Doesn’t these tariffs include also car pieces / materials imported to the US before being used / integrated into the car?

Car being composed from thousands of equipments manufactured outside the US, i can’t see how they can totally avoid US tariffs.

Hum, this lack of self-awareness regarding its bot name could be the result of being a bot. Report! /s

More seriously, don’t you really see the relation between your name and being considered a bot? Hints: the word bot + the number.

Ps: a human would not have call it “majesty” but “good writer”

France have an already active military doctrine involving some mini-nuke launch in case of someone crossing the line. It’s the step before the total annihilation launches…

Fully agree and I can tell you that our dependence to technologies under usa control WILL DECREASE. I already asked my Executive Vice President LAST SUMMER how and when we could move on from American products.

But right now?

We use Google workspace (email, drive, etc) and phone (Android) to communicate and works across our worldwide locations, we use AWS and Microsoft as IT providers, we use Win11 and 10 000+ win servers or databases or softwares provided by American companies, we have plants in USA too, a lot of equipments used in our products are provided by American companies and our products are sold 50/50 in € & $. And the list can continue for hours ( .com is under USA control too and all our customers services use it).

So if suddenly, “Pumpkin(g) One” decide to call for a ban or a 200% increase of taxes or anything else as stupid because he don’t like our comment about his operation… WE ARE FUCKED! My company dies, my country economy is heavily fucked, I don’t have a job and lost 25+ years of my work because 30% of people across the ocean is not fucking able to detect fascists (or is ok with it).

People are PISSED right now, but they can tell as this fucker love playing a mafia boss and be a bully.

Problem is: stupid senile president + no limit or empathy or concern over any existing laws+ full control over the financial system (visa, mastercard) and the numeric infrastructure (cloud, phones, …) + capable to tax you higher than his “enemy” = not a lot of margin

It’s not for nothing we said: don’t vote for this fucker.

Well it’s obvious US, Russian and China collude to take control of other parts of the world.

US take the American continent, Russia the European and China the Asian…

The African continent is actively scouted by China and Russia right now too… Remain Australia… well… who want Australia?

It’s why Trump won’t push too much regarding Putin, he wants to do the same and remain in power for life.

Nuclear submarine are part of the navy. So it’s an important asset, especially in the deterrence and strike game. We have good payload capabilities (all proportion garded) thanks to the navy. And projection force from our aircraft carrier is also a good asset.

Same feedback here. Works well with Navidrone

Why calling that “imagination”? He already did all of that in public
