28 years later was such a disappointment. It could have been an extra 15 minutes just added to the start of this movie. This one was…

Because they don’t want to pay you $1 a day.

On a fresh install of Windows and Linux, most games perform better on Windows. This is contrary to what most people think, because they…

800GB isn’t much if you record in 4K60, especially if you happened to record and store log format video. I’ve got terabytes of family…

It’s only 1TB per person though, which means that’s a pretty bad way to think about it. Unless you want to make 6 accounts and have…

With the way interest rates are going I’d just chuck it in a high interest savings account - you’ll be earning 7% within the next 18…

It’s just a low spec pc, so it’ll play pc games - it’s just a question of how well they’ll run, like with any pc.

As a product becomes more and more popular and *necessary*, prices don’t tend to get cheaper. As electricity prices keep increasing,…

“Just cook dinner earlier” lol Some of us have jobs. We don’t get to go home early to cook dinner earlier.

How do you do this? No option in the app.

You clearly don’t have a fox Ess battery with globird. I have set mine to 500W force discharge during those times and it still pulls from…

That small usage is *very* easily hit unless you're using basically zero power during those hours - and I mean if you don't try to…

Googling shows pretty much every link saying the 20-80 rule exists for LiFePo4 batteries too:…

Every google result I can find says the same thing for LiFePo4 batteries too - 20% to 80% or they will degrade faster. One example:…

How do you change the battery handshakes? Can't do it through the official Fox Cloud 2.0 app.

From 6pm -> 9pm people kinda need to use ovens, microwaves, hot water systems, kettles, air conditioners, etc. You can't just use these…

Even if you export now, it’s likely not worth changing unless you have a huge 50kWh+ battery *and* barely use any power even from your…

It means you basically have to force discharge more than you will use at any given time in that period, which can mean exporting…

I’ve never seen a house, or building, outside of an industrial fridge, that was able to stay cold from 2pm to 8pm because of using air…

Yeah anyone buying batteries to try and get “rich” has missed the boat. Now if you can get a $0/month bill you’re doing great. Power…

On the other hand, if you want to follow the 20-80 rule then you need a 50kWh battery in order to get even 30kWh of usable power, which…

It’s worse, for sure, because unless you have an enormous battery you’re going to need to export more than 50% of it over those 3 hours…

In QLD in summer at 40 degrees c I still never saw any feed in over about 25c max. The app would be like “feed in will be $7/kWh tonight!…

I’m in QLD and Amber is terrible. Was with them for a month and a half, with a 42kWh battery, and was having a bill of like $90 a month.…

As we’re seeing with RAM, when demand increases prices go up. As the need for batteries goes up, prices will increase. There’s only a…

Not that person, but with globird you get $1 per day for not using energy from the grid between 6-8pm, and 15c/kWh feed in during that same…

+1 for globird. Amber was terrible for me, first month was $88 bill, and smartshift is terrible, regularly leaving my battery virtually…

How do you figure that? Buying a car that needs to be charged isn’t going to make the need for a battery any less. It’s going to…

Batteries aren’t going to get cheaper as more and more people need them due to ever increasing power bills. They’ll get more expensive.…

Some people do live in areas that get regular blackouts, myself included. It’s why many of us have petrol generators.
