- Bose: does something bad. People: complain. Bose: undoes what they did and does something slightly better. You: complain.
I'm not sure I get the logic here.
Slowly but steadily I'm comprehending why companies are getting tired of some people. No matter what companies do, people will always complain. Don't get me wrong, there's always room for more improvement, but a slight complement for their slight improvement won't hurt anyone + a change in tone from complaining to suggesting improvements would be a nice bonus.
- Parasitic strategies != ads
The regulation was about unskippable ads, not ads in general.
I agree with the op and I don't agree that we are better off without YouTube. It's not hard at all to understand the op, so I'm not sure why you misread them and jumped to conclusions that all ads are parasitic and asked if we're better off without YouTube. Was that rage bate or did you really think the op was talking about all ads?
- Care to elaborate how chat control came into effect?
Last time I checked, it was always rejected, no matter how they reforrmed it. The EU is not one voice, it will always have different opinions. What matters is what's actually voted into law, chat control tried multiple times and it never was.
Also, would you be so kind as to share those wrongthinking related with DSA?
So we an focus on improving things and not bashing on them.

TV manufactories can get the best of both worlds: The people that want smart TVs, get a smart TV. The people that don't want a smart TV, can disable the smart TV features. Manufactors make one model and sell to both market segments.
Why should your preferences impose on the ones that don't want what you want? I guess the preferred way would be for manufactors to have add a feature where the tv prompts you if you want to enable smart features when you boot the tv for the first time, but it's a bit difficult when manufactors get more money when they have these features enabled by default.
- This feels like a really great headset. It was going to be an instant buy for me until I realised it has LCDs instead of OLEDs. I'll wait for reviews. I don't really want to buy these if they release another OLED version down the line.
Also, if this is arm and it has steam in it, that means we can finally run steam on arm, which means we can finally install steam "natively" on android Linux, specially now that we have the terminal app on android 16.
Can't wait for graphical acceleration to be fully merged to the terminal app and we have Linux running on android with near native performance and steam.
- My own experience is that it's hard to do predictable engineering in more social environments because requirements can change from one hour to another and there's no reprocurssiom, you just have accept it and move on.
Although this also happens in office environments, there's more accountability and continuous planning, making requirements changes something that is undesirable.
- My digital ID in the western European country I live in is great, it also works offline. There's no extra information the government has that it didn't already have. Everything is the same, except now I don't have to carry a physical card with me all the time, I just need my phone and I can switch to a new phone easily.
- This HN post is about claude 4.5 and you come here speaking about how "claude" does not give you satisfactory answer when, most likely, you didn't even try claude 4.5 in the first place.
Claude 4.5 after a few web searches and running a couple python scripts for analysis:
Yes, your configuration should work!
Based on my analysis, two strings of four Phono Solar PS440M8GFH panels will be compatible with the EG4 12kPV inverter for upstate New York conditions.
Key Findings:
Voltage Safety:
Cold weather maximum (-25°C/-13°F): 182V - well below the 600V limit (only 30% of maximum)
Standard operating voltage: 128V - comfortably within the 120-500V MPPT range
Hot weather minimum (40°C/104°F panel temp): 121V - just above the 120V MPPT minimum
Current:
Operating current: ~13.8A per string - well within the 25A MPPT limit (55% of capacity) Total System:
8 panels × 440W = 3,520W (3.5kW) - well below the 12kW inverter rating
Important Considerations:
Hot weather margin is tight: At extreme hot temperatures, the voltage drops to about 121V, which is only 1V above the MPPT minimum. This means:
The system will work, but efficiency might be slightly reduced on the hottest days The MPPT controller should still track power effectively
More robust alternative: If you want more safety margin, consider 5 panels per string instead:
Cold: 228V (still safe)
Hot: 151V (much better margin above 120V minimum)
Total: 10 panels = 4.4kW
Wire each string to a separate MPPT on the EG4 12kPV (it has 2 MPPTs), which is perfect for your 2-string configuration.
Bottom Line:
Your planned configuration of 2 strings × 4 panels will work year-round in upstate New York without safety issues. The system is conservatively sized and should perform well!
