What about the latent heat of vaporization?

Well now you've got me backed into a corner...

You're just never going to get a smart ring with a battery that lasts longer than a year or two until different/better battery technology becomes commonplace.

I've had a RingConn ring since December 2024, and I went with them primarily because they don't charge a monthly fee like Oura. But at this point the battery that originally lasted 2 weeks lasts only about 2 days. It's about the best you can expect from a ~30mAh lithium cell. Once it finally dies completely I won't be replacing it.

You can, however, design rings that can have their comparatively cheap batteries replaced, and be transparent about the expected life span of your $500+ ring that requires a subscription and whose warranty specifically excludes the battery (https://support.ouraring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360025439534-...).

I was totally unaware of this. I haven't quite been ready to pull the trigger on something like FastMail or ProtonMail, but I have a few domains kicking around and figure it's worth a shot to try it out. Thanks!

Apple's been a rock-solid email host for me. imapsync (https://imapsync.lamiral.info/) made the migration very easy. https://blah.cloud/miscellaneous/migrating-google-workspaces...

If only it were that simple.

Recall the "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act". The legislature _did_ pass a law banning software then and the executive just ignored it.

While we're at it, term limits for everyone. All levels of the judiciary and legislature.

Can confirm many of our West US resources have been out for like 40 minutes.

Why are you responding as if that was an attack? Not everyone needs to know every intricate detail of a system to use it. Nor should they.

That type of thinking is like saying unless you can cook a gourmet restaurant quality meal you don't deserve to eat at a gourmet restaurant. Absurd.
