Yes we actually can’t even run our heat pump mini-split below 40, it runs too many defrost cycles and can’t heat the room. We installed a wood pellet stove to use for those temps.

It’s a Carrier 40MAHB

It’s a Carrier 38MARB Performance Heat Pump, and it SAYS it’s rated at 100% efficiency down to 5 deg F but I can tell you from experience that it starts buckling below freezing. I have monitored it over a whole winter season and when we hit the 20s it starts running defrost cycles every 15-20 minutes. Each cycle takes about 5-10 minutes to defrost. It’s not able to keep the room warm.

Granted, this is a 500 sq ft room with a wide opening to the next room and a 25’ ceiling. I don’t think it was a great use-case for heating in general. For cooling, this thing is irreplaceable. It barely breaks a sweat and uses almost no energy, while keeping the room at any low temperature I set it to. I’ve yet to see it have any issues cooling, even when it’s 90F and humid outside.

I actually think they are currently all going south. This increase in ads is just one part of the fall I think.

The didn’t make 420m in profit, they lost 124m.

I totally forgot how terrible a non-ad-free YouTube experience is

So I’ve been using youtube ad blockers since pretty much when ad blocker extensions were first available. Lately though I’ve been getting hit more and more with these messages that YT was sending out every 5 or so videos telling me that adblockers aren’t allowed. No problem, just gotta wait 5 seconds to x it out and then...

Personal data isn’t only used for ads. In this case a users watching history can be sold especially if it’s connected in some way to a demographic profile. There could be many more ways to monetize many other things the user does.

Smoking does not permanently leave anything in your lungs. The lungs constantly self clean and I believe after 10 years, all damage from any amount of smoking is removed.

I think they are going to finish a lot lower than people guess. Kane was enormous for them, and without that leadership and goal scoring i think they finish 9th or lower.

This is really exciting, I’m obviously skeptical like others but I’m also very hopeful about this.

I think you need to clarify how they can see the password. It’s not stored in plaintext, but when the user logs in, the server administrator can see the password in the HTTP post data if they log it in the lemmy sourcecode. All apps are subject to this and it’s why to have to trust the instance owner.

This is not the case at all and the parent comment was not clear
