Energy storage costs money. A surplus for the noon hours every day doesn’t help anything.

Well anyone can 3D print something, but it’s the modeling of a printable object that is your skill. However modeling and designing are two different things.

If I had your equipment and skills right now I would start printing bathtub jet plugs. Convert a jetted tub into a non-jetted. Probably only a few different brands and designs to cover.

Aside from that, I’d get into mold making. You can 3d print a mold, or even a mold of a mold. Or a mold of a mold of a mold. Then you can cast objects in metal or ceramic, or silicone or even plastic (haha) or other materials that can be a liquid. Way more interesting than plastic shapes. Plus molds can be used many times.

As far as the business goes? No idea. Start by making useful objects that people want to buy. But that’s kind of a different skill of “inventor”.

Thanks it looks like the Edgerouter X would meet my needs. I’m not sure I would need a switch though since it has 4 ports.

I’d really like if there was a high end router and switch without WiFi. I already have all my wireless handled by 3 access points. Is there a high end router/switch with 4 ports?

Google also says to put glue on your pizza.

Maybe they should make it super bureaucratic and you have to pay to renew your civil union every 7 years, otherwise it dissolves.

Body emits infrared radiation. Sun does too. They make foil-lined jackets to reflect this heat. White shirts do it too, as shown in the image.

The solution is simple, as it is for gay marriage. Marriage is not recognized by the state/government.

There are plenty of protected lanes in my city, but they just hide bicycles behind parked cars, making it less safe at every intersection.

The only way I can think that might work better would be to convert a 3-lane road (with suicide/turn lane in center), into a 2-lane road. The center lane gets converted into a two-way bicycle road - raised up like a sidewalk with curved curb. No left turns allowed for cars, only right turns. This way bicycles are visible and protected.

Body puts off heat too. White reflects it back, black lets it escape.

Need to use Heat Index or Wet Bulb temperature. Dry heat is not the same as humid heat - the latter contains way more heat energy. In arid regions air conditioning, or water, will prevent most heat-related risk into the future. It’s the humid regions that will suffer in heat waves.

When I go to iknowwhatyoudownload.com, a bunch of stuff shows up for my IP that’s definitely not being downloaded by anyone in my house (foreign language torrents). Aside from that my router (AT&T Arris BGW210) needs to be restarted about once a week, due to some kind of dhcp issue. The most recent event seemed bad - none of my devices had internet, they could all talk to each other, and my ONT activity light was flickering steadily. During this time I had no access to the router, even plugged in directly to LAN. Fixed by a restart but no idea what was going on.

The DHT torrent thing has been happening for months and the router thing could just be that AT&T sucks. I have no other evidence that something is wrong.

I could buy a firewall and put it downstream of the AT&T equipment.

I could switch internet providers, get a new IP address and router, and see if that fixes it.

Should I try to figure out what’s going on or just keep restarting the router once a week and ignore the DHT hits from my static IP?

Digital globe (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

A really expensive internet connected globe. Like most globes it would have its axis on a tilt. Except this one would also show a live view of day/night, and also the clouds from satellite imagery. When you touch the base you can scrub back and forward though the past 24 hours of images.
