Niissä talouksissa ja kiinteistössä, missä on onnistuttu toteuttamaan sähkön hintaan reagoiva lämmitysjärjestelmä kuten Fingrid on toivonut, kuluttajan ei tarvitse tehdä yhtään mitään - järjestelmä tulee vähentämään sähkön käyttöä klo 15 asti ja sen jälkeen kytkemään kaiken varaavan kapasiteetin täydelle teholle täysin automaattisesti.

Ja Fingrid, paikalliset verkkoyhtiöt sekä tuotantolaitokset tulevat olemaan helisemässä.

@osma Reutersin uutisesta muuten ilmeni että toi -500€/MWh on Nord Poolin minimihinta eli siinä mielessä joku raja löytyy. Yksikään suomalainen uutinen aiheesta ei nähdäkseni ole tätä osannut mainita. (tietysti virhe tässä oli tarjotun sähkön määrässä eikä hinnassa, eli siinä mielessä mikään suojaraja ei tätä tosiaan rajoittanut)

@osma kai sen täytyy olla toi -500€ jos nyt yhtään oikein olen tätä mekanismia ymmärtänyt? Se kai on normipäivä Nord Poolissa että joku 90%+ ostotarjouksista on maksimihinnalla ja ehkäpä sitten myyntitarjouksista kaikki yhtään vaikeammin säädettävä minimihinnalla?

Lääkeyhtiöt ovat takuulla mielissään siitä, että maailma päätti lopettaa koronatartuntojen torjunnan ja turvautua pelkästään rokotteisiin sekä lääkejättien hyväntahtoisuuteen. Yhdysvalloissa rokoteannosten hinnat ovat moninkertaistuneet.

Tuottoisin lääke on sellainen, joka auttaa, mutta ei poista sairautta.

@turvanen @osma tässä on sellainen sairas kulma, että Yhdysvalloissa rokoteannoksen arvo on muita länsimaita suurempi, koska siellä on niin paljon vaarallisempaa ja kalliimpaa sairastua vakavasti.

@jeffowski @Matti_Vuori the Siri default voice has been randomized since iOS 14.5. It's also labeled like “Voice 1", “Voice 2”—not by gender—and the ordering is random on each device.

    @osma a pleasant surprise! I was sure they needed a clean room and some lab gear to operate.

    Frame.work fires a shot across Apple's bows here.

    I’d love if i could just replace parts of my MBP when needed and not shell out a full $3-$5k every few years.

    karppinen,
    @karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

    @schwa what’s interesting is that Apple would likely have better, not worse, margins selling upgraded modules, since the expensive-to-make parts in a MBP are the ones you’d probably not replace (the unibody case, the display, etc)

    @ccgus I was a bit surprised that the AirPods firmware updates were installed automatically with no way to opt out. Wonder if it’s an RC thing or if the betas were this way too

    Serious question… why is buying a particular issue of a digital magazine or newspaper not a thing?

    Like if I wanted to read just one particular article in paper form I could go to the store and buy only that one issue. But online I have to either deal with a paywall or sign up for a full subscription?

    Why??

    karppinen,
    @karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

    @mariyadelano we've had support for that in the iOS / iPadOS / Android apps we make for newspapers and magazines, but the individual issue purchases are just not enough to justify maintaining that setup.

    Subscriptions are of course cheaper for regular readers, and there are not enough random buyers for the individual issues. So, the same underlying reason as with per-story micropayments.

    karppinen,
    @karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

    @mariyadelano I can’t speak on behalf of any specific publisher but a bunch have had very similar experiences. Digital issues and single issue purchases were briefly a thing after the iPad launched in 2010, after that, not so much

    What if you're always within four meters of a playing HomePod? TBH this feels like Apple is assuming everyone lives in a mansion

    My bank or some other intervening system has a strict ASCII-only policy apparently. No umlauts allowed

    karppinen,
    @karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

    @harrisj that’s true here too, in a country that uses them a lot. The difference is that we have an old 7-bit character set where {}|[]\ is mapped to äåöÄÅÖ. It’s still often used in banking. Foreign banks would be likely to strip those out.

    rolle, to iPhone
    @rolle@mementomori.social avatar

    As a tech enthusiast I'm on my way to buy my first iPhone ever. Before doing this I have two questions.

    1. Which iPhone is the best and why? (if you have all the money in the world, what model would you choose now?)

    2. What are the things you DON'T like in your iPhone and how are you coping with them?

    Please answer only if you prefer iPhone, I don't need "don't buy an iPhone" or "Device X is better" -replies. I've been using two decades other mobile devices so I kinda know the differences.

    karppinen,
    @karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

    @rolle if you’re changing platforms and want to see how iPhone compares, I think you need to get the best one (14 Pro)? Don’t get me wrong, the non-Pro 14 is plenty of phone, but since it does have slightly worse cameras, CPU and screen, it’s not representative of the platform at its best

    This is one I've never seen, ethernet switch that's "managed" by a dip switch?

    karppinen,
    @karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

    @paul I’ve had that in 2-3 port switches a.k.a. media converters as well as in the weird solar/ups/poe switches I buy. Frankly I prefer this (or just no toggles at all) over low-end managed switches, their software is always a nightmare.

    karppinen,
    @karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

    @paul I hate QNAP NASes but their unmanaged switches have been solid for me. QSW-1108-8T is the 2.5G one

    It absolutely blows my mind that I can use Safari to live debug the JavaScript code running inside a WKWebView in my app – including breakpoints and whatnot. 🤯

    So so soooo many kudos to the folks who worked on this!

    karppinen,
    @karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

    @nighthawk @jensimmons enabling this by default for all TestFlight apps has made all the difference. Few people knew about this when it required running the app from Xcode. I’d love an API we could use to enable it in App Store apps, too.

    Was looking at the Telo MT1 and it occurs to me that down the road, EVs will just be easier to make, by orders of magnitude, than ICE cars. And that explains how these startups can possibly succeed?

    karppinen,
    @karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

    @osma my understanding was that EVs are simpler to design for collision safety too, but yeah, the barriers to entry getting smaller don’t really have to be about EVs per se (fewer ICE startups for other reasons)

    Dear web developers & designers,

    Now that you know what’s coming in Safari 17 — as well as what shipped in Safari 16.2-16.5 — what do you need in WebKit next?

    Which web technology that’s already been standardized is highest priority? What brand new idea do you need invented?

    karppinen,
    @karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

    @jensimmons WKWebView could really use a way to mark custom URL schemes as secure (the way only https is right now).

    @janl here in Finland it looks like Plugsurfing roaming prices can be 2-3x the “native” price of the local provider, so it might be worth looking into those apps. Then again we’ll only be there for a week or so, charging at Plugsurfing prices probably won’t break the bank…

    karppinen,
    @karppinen@mastodon.online avatar

    @janl (it’s bad enough that they’ve banned the Plugsharing RFID tags on some networks because they want to make sure that you see the outrageous price in the app before you charge)
