I installed mini splits (small heat pumps) in each of our rooms. Everyone gets their own temperature and they were only 800$ a piece. Did installation myself and it was pretty easy. Hardest thing was pulling a vacuum in the lines before releasing the freon (or whatever it's called) but all I did was watch a youtube video. They've been going strong for several years. I looked at the prices and they are still the same.

Did the same. air air is cheap and works like a charm. this 40k for heatpump is for the most luxury version every salesmen trys to sell

Yeah if 40k is the go to amount of heat pumps, the entire country has lost the plot

Yeah, I'm not sure why so many people seem pro-theft for a lack of a better term. I don't believe they are but there's so much resistance to locking up high value items especially if they're valuable ones.

Maybe you're not familiar with Flock Safety, but my comment is not about locking up high value items. It's more about my location information being shipped to weird police circles by big box stores.

People are anti-surveillance, not pro-theft.

Although, plenty of people are pro-theft from the corporations sucking our towns and local economies dry and paying so little that their employees have to rely on foodstamps.

Home Depot making money doesn't make my town rich, the smaller shops making money do. The big corps just suck suck suck.

Perhaps just anti-shitty UX.

Probably because flesh fell out of fashion?

It's what the kids called it growing up in the aughts

As a motorcycle rider, it's always very noticeable. The stale air from the helmet coupled with the shit shit air from outside makes me very sleepy and you can develop a sore throat in a few hours

I agree with the gist of your statement but the same could've been said for a number of new companies against entrenched players. Heck, I'm pretty sure google was that company against the existing search.

You'll probably argue that this time it's different but no one knows what's different until it's already changed.

Trying to claw ads market share using AI from the worlds number one ads and AI company.

I remember that there were 2 games that you could use to modify your xbox but I only remember 1 game. Mechassault.

Mechassault, 007 Agent Under Fire and Splinter Cell.

More recently there are other game exploits, such as THPS4. However, since ENDGAME you don't even need a game to softmod.

I think I used splinter cell. The exploit was also only in a specific version of the game. I remember having to look at a version number on the cd when buying to confirm I was getting the right one.

That's pretty cool. I'm from the Southeast US (redneck), and it sounds like "Yur-uh-pee-in"

I'm pretty sure the person you're responding to is talking about the flip phone era pre-iphone. Think Treo 650 / Blackjack era.

Nope, if you go out and buy a cheapish android phone from a carrier in the US today, it will have a ton of shit preinstalled that is carrier specific. Including sometimes messages, visual voicemail, etc.

Apple has basically had the balls to tell carriers to go fuck themselves and do it their way, and it's been a huge boon. Google still hasn't done this enough, IMO.

The context I was talking about how when RCS was designed, carriers still were mostly responsible for "apps" on the phones.
