Things like turning off wifi and/or turning on airplane mode can make a big difference (when you're not needing connectivity of course) The cell modem can really eat away battery life if you have a poor signal. And for my pixel tablet, turning off wifi means the battery can last for a couple weeks instead of a couple days. Heck, turning it off if you won't be using it for more than a few hours can help too.

There's some kind of bird in the Faroe Islands that sounds exactly like this toy. I couldn't figure out what it was but I could hear it above me while hiking, it was delightfully bizarre

Definitely, I would be shocked if there's more than a pound of copper in that camera assembly. It's all low voltage electronics.

Oh man, the first time I heard this was when I was a teen playing some kind of adult flash game where you have to sell drugs to collect nude pics or something where this song was on repeat haha. I rediscovered this song/group years later in college and been a fan ever since

With the 2 largest utilities being investor owned, their top priority is to show YoY growth to their shareholders. Due to the nature of being a public utility having competition isn't really feasible so customers are stuck dealing with being 2nd priority at best. That sucks

What a cool feature!

While I don't like the monstrous vehicles the US produces either, that's very irrelevant to this discussion

Same, we're ones of dozens I'm sure but I've been running a mix of WD greens and Seagate barracudas in a hardware RAID5 array for over a decade. Only had 2 drive failures over the entire time with no data loss. But yeah... would advise against that if possible
