It may have been a rate of rise vs a hard upper limit for the heat detector. If it was, about 8-10°C / 15-20°F change per minute would set it off. Makes sense for it to go off over an oven. The hard upper limit type are single use, I don’t know if that causes them to repeatedly go off or not.

Either way with more regulated short term rentals, a fire inspection would likely have flagged that.

There is nuance in installing fire alarms, make sure you are using the correct detector type for each area, and installing it correctly.

I’m pretty sure strong drafts or dusty areas can set it off.

Also know that smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors are consumable items that should be replaced, usually 7-10 years but it should be noted on the device.

At the end of the day, it wakes you up to check, or causes you to observe for an emergency. Imagine your wake up groggy situation but you smell smoke. Personally I would like that chance to be able to evacuate.

I work for an telco and I have seen a lot of times that a contract for using preexisting underground infrastructure that have lids like this has a section requiring that they are returned to the same location and orientation when the enclosure is sealed.

Whoever owns that, municipality or private, will probably take a complaint about it, and may pass it to whoever is responsible or owns the plant inside.

I have a different vibration pattern for my wife’s calls and messages, work calls and messages, and all others. I swear I will get phantom vibrations from a specific set randomly.

the bladder issues from ketamine make it so you cannot pee, and from what i read elsewhere is that issues present after long term or heavy use.

it’s interesting because as he adds cabinet picks, they come with allegations, as well as allegations stacking against those already selected. must be a requirement for the job, typically i would think this would make security clearance all but impossible due to the blackmail but maybe that is what he liked about these picks. that or trump just sees those like him and gravitates towards that, since his drug and dementia addled brain can’t handle anything else.

just another tv host looking for a cabinet seat

i think with fingerprinting, it provides evidence that someone touched something, not that someone did not touch it

everything should be behind a firewall

I rip ass, threaten fart, get out of my body.

I used to use kindles when I was growing up, as my dad and grandpa had large amazon libraries I was able to read from. It started with the keyboard kindles up to one of the touch e-ink ones and with the exception of the last one, every one of them had the screen fail.

I have since switched to a kobo clara 2e BW, using books loaded from calibre. the price point was comfortable, with more features than I expected (waterproof, bluetooth and wifi, ability to sign directly into library accounts), I was also happy with battery life, I read on planes/trains to pass the time and had a two week long trip where I was doing a lot of traveling by train and I didn’t need to charge at all.

I plug into my computer and load books manually I also have been looking towards doing something OTA for books and page sync, libre and self hosted.

This is possible, and exact directions will vary on distribution of the vm client. I personally do this but with split horizon dns and dnsmasq on a vm.

impossible to leak is where it gets tricky, and that will require an understanding of networking in your distribution. there will also be tutorials on this, but it’s very easy to mess up.

I would say the warranty is probably confidence that a percentage will last that long, and the amount they have to replace is cheaper than the business they lose not offering it.

edit: and no argument that companies are also working to make devices less repairable, i’m cynical that more often then not they are trying to design devices that last exactly as long as the warranty.

the idea with qubes is that whatever you are doing with tails would just be done in a tails/tor qube (vm), which are/can be amnesic.

i think the issue is not necessarily that voters who are disappointed by biden on this issue would vote for trump directly, or even think he would make a different or “better” choice but instead may not turn out, or vote for a 3rd party candidate. with the race as close as it is now, that might be all it takes.

weird way to write the headline for a “re-trial” kinda has a sort of inflammatory aftertaste, paired with the lack of effort, like not even changing the default banner image…

in order for the vehicle to have plates, it must have the state minimum liability insurance. your auto plan probably explicitly excludes rentals unless you pay extra or have some premium coverage.

at face value it seems better than nothing, but in reality if the data can be bought then it doesn’t really help in the end. what would be more effective (imo) in protecting privacy would be to prevent the collection of data in the first place.

hardwire for testing? then when settled do the full install. maybe use a different laptop.

i think they are referencing map apps vs gps as a technology
