insurance invalidation

For clarity, if you do a stupid job at your DIY solar installation and it burns your house down, that is likely a covered cause of loss. There isn't a policy exclusion for stupidity, unfortunately.

There may be an exclusion for the panels themselves since you could argue that improper workmanship was the proximate cause of loss, but the ensuing damage would likely be covered.

A similar scenario would be an improper plumbing repair flooding your house. Insurance won't pay to redo the plumbing that was wrong, but it will pay to fix the water damage.

Sorry, the term HEB is already taken by Texas groceries.

It's still way more awesome than cable ever was. Sure you can have all the services all at once and pay as much as a cable bill, or you can rotate your subscriptions and pay way less.

Peacock disabled auto play previews for a while and it was great. But that was only because the whole screen would go black for a couple seconds as it tried to load the preview. They fixed that issue and now the previews are back. Mute button is doing a lot of great work these days.

Being a developer at a non tech company is great. My role tends to blur between salesforce amin and developer, but that's partly because of the small size of the company (less than 100 employees total, less than 10 in IT).

Can you share for those of us that don't get it? It's me, I'm those of us.

PlantJam ,

Yes, non usb network adapters with Bluetooth are available.

Wikipedia is gauging interest for an extension that uses AI to see if any claim is cited on Wikipedia (meta.wikimedia.org)

A prototype is available, though it's Chrome-only and English-only at the moment. How this'll work is you select some text and then click on the extension, which will try to "return the relevant quote and inference for the user, along with links to article and quality signals"....

And here I am going out of my way to disable any and all floating buttons.

Don't forget that Microsoft will also process forwarding rules before it finishes the "is this bad" scan.

I'll second Vincent's suggestion. One person proposes three choices, the other either picks one or counters with three new choices. I also recommend having something on hand that takes zero preparation. For us that's usually some charcuterie, tuna with crackers, or a leftover dish that can be served cold.

That home page is perfect. No junk and a message explaining why there's no junk and how to get it back if you want it.

If it has a 50% chance to increase by 10,000% or a 50% to decrease by 90%, the average expected price is an increase of about 5,000%. It's a finance thing, but I doubt the commenter was serious.

PlantJam ,

That makes perfect sense, thank you for the thorough explanation!

I got a 4k 65" LG for about $400 a few weeks ago. It isn't a fancy display but it looks great compared to the 55" Hisense it replaced.

The task bar is my main reason for staying on 10. Forced grouping with icons only and no option to change it is such a bizarre design decision.

Edit: Sounds like my last major gripe with W11 has been fixed! Dreading a forced switch to 11 much less now.

PlantJam ,

Thank you for clarifying. That sounds awful.

PlantJam ,

It's definitely the headline. The article is perfect for the community, though.

I've never understood why people get so mad about pumpkin spice. It's sugary cinnamon and some other stuff, what's not to like?

PlantJam ,

You could use an app that has a keyword filter like Boost. I use it to reduce the number of posts I see about certain topics or politicians. It isn't perfect, like if OP used the punchline as the title as so many like to do.

More Police Are Using Your Cameras for Video Evidence (www.themarshallproject.org)

Private security footage is nothing new to criminal investigations, but two factors are rapidly changing the landscape: huge growth in the number of devices with cameras, and the fact that footage usually lands in a cloud server, rather than on a tape....

PlantJam ,

Compare this to the setup for a Google camera: Plug it in, scan a QR code from the Home app, and that's it. I understand there are security implications, but I'm not particular concerned about privacy in my backyard.

Are those the coils that cause an inflammatory response to block the fallopian tubes? There are some horror stories about the reactions they can cause in some people.
