  • Yup, it's a rebranded Tuya device.

  • It's a rebranded Tuya device, which can actually be used in a local only mode.

    I wouldn't trust connecting it to the Tuya online services though that is for certain.

  • It's a rebranded Tuya device, and they don't sell your data to any law enforcement or insurance.

    They do however comply with Chinese laws and all your data is readily available for the Chinese government.

  • It's a rebranded Tuya doorbell. So there aren't any subscriptions, though you will be giving them all your data.

  • Sad that you're getting downvoted for this joke, it gave me a good nose exhale.

  • To be fair just mentioning nuclear power at all in a lot of Europe makes some 60+ year olds scream about it being the worst thing ever

  • Because resistive heating took too much energy and made the buses not have enough range, and heat pumps were deemed too expensive.

    This all could've been avoided if they just included heating as part of the original bidding process, the heat pumps would've been cheaper than the diesel heaters if included in the original spec.

  • The busses they replaced were plug-in hybrid busses that mostly ran on battery power already, they were already super efficient.

    They did indeed fuck up and not buy them with heat pumps. They were going to retrofit heatpumps but it turned out to be too expensive so they went with diesel heaters.

    They literally did not include any sort of minimum requirements for heating in the bidding process. It was a huge fuck up that has been covered lots in the media here.

  • No, to get the enough heat in the winter so that people aren't freezing on the bus?

  • It's a habit since is buss in Norwegian. I will keep doing it and blame the English language for being incorrect.

    Edit: I googled it and technically busses isn't incorrect, but buses is preferred. Merriam-webster used to list busses as the preferred form up until 1961 actually.

  • Here's an article that mentions the fitting of the diesel heaters: https://www.nrk.no/stor-oslo/slik-skal-ruter-og-unibuss-unnga-nytt-busskaos-i-vinter-1.17036833

    Now technically they could heat them to a comfortable temperature with only the resistive heating, but they would not have the battery capacity to get through the minimum required range to serve their routes.

    The stuff about the diesel heaters exceeding the consumption of the previous busses seems to be based on preliminary data from the specs of the heaters, and not actual real life data as they didn't have time to fit the heaters before the previous winter hit. And the only stuff I can find about it is pay walled. I will add an edit to my original comment for this.

  • There's an even bigger issue with these busses.

    They were never made for the cold of Norway, and the electric heating couldn't keep them warm even in the relative mild winters that Oslo has. To fix this they installed auxiliary diesel heaters. These diesel heaters use more diesel(see edit) to keep the busses warm than the previous generation of diesel hybrid busses used to both fuel the engine, and keep the busses warm.

    So the new EV busses that were supposed to lower local pollution ended up costing more and polluting more.

    Edit: these heaters haven't actually been tested in a winter scenario, and the "diesel consumption exceeds the previous busses" claim is based on just looking at the spec sheet for the diesel heaters to be fitted. And it's compared to the previous plug-in hybrid busses which obviously had a lot of their fuel consumption covered by being plug-in

  • You don't live far enough north in Norway if you have any light during the day for most of winter though

  • Imagine getting 3 hours of sunlight a day in winter. Where I live north of the Arctic circle we get none for many weeks every winter!

  • Yeah, it's just the database that holds all the information for Jellyfin. The original database is also not removed, so you can just go back to it if something goes wrong.

    No media files are touched at all in this process.

  • Man I read this as "all chargers must come with cables" as in you couldn't buy just the charging brick and it would always come with a cable.

    What it actually means is that all chargers must have replaceable cables in the form of USB-C, no matter what they're for.

  • The mod adds well, extreme violence. It lets sims murder other sims in various ways (also adds non-deadly violence)

    You can make it so only specific sims you've enabled it for can do it, and you can make said sims do the violence out of free will.

    The clown was probably placed in the neighbourhood in its own house, set to high free will, and high violence. Then the player went and played with their own family of sims.

    Then if the clown ever came to visit (other sims in the neighbourhood will sometimes just show up to visit you) it'd start murdering. Events like a wedding usually invites everyone in the neighbourhood, so the clown showed up and started doing violence.
