  • Been enjoying Rhythmbox, what are your thoughts?

    Jump

  • I use Rhythmbox to edit/import/maintain my music collection and sync my iPods, and then I use Lollypop to play my music from my computer. Lollypop has next to no of the aforementioned features but its just nice to look at and simple.

  • Problem with Rheem Econet integration

    Jump

  • If I look at the HA log, the thermostat seems to disconnect and reconnect itself every few minutes. Does yours do that? After looking closer at it, I think this is an issue with the Rheem thermostat not staying connected to the home WiFi network.

    Also, have you considered wiring in to the thermostat directly to avoid having to use a Rheem account?

  • I'm all for incremental improvements but these people that laud themselves as environmental heros for owning an electric car need to understand what happens behind the curtain before they receive their electric car, and after the battery is replaced.

    Is there any comprehensive proof that EV production is cleaner than ICE production?

  • The author of this article believes her electric car is friendly to the planet

    Jump

  • Yes I did read the article. I'm not saying that she shouldn't have replaced her vehicle, in fact she probably did make the smartest choice by going for a second hand EV. I'm just frustrated by the people that assume an electric vehicle is somehow "good" for the environment when it is not.

    She refers to her car in the following ways:

    • "a car that [does] not emit pollution" 
    • "Zero emission gave me peace of mind that I made the right choice for a world facing climate change"
    • "earth-friendly"

    Also this statement shows she is concerned about the environment:

    "suddenly remembered my intention for buying an EV in the first place. I should have spoken up. Greenhouse gas emissions, carbon dioxide, climate crisis ... These words jumbled in my head. Nobody had even mentioned this life-or-death issue we all are facing."

    But EVs are not some sort of silver bullet for the climate crisis. Do we yet have any studies confirming that they are better for the environment over ICE vehicles when considering lithium mining, vehicle production, battery replacement, tire pollution etc?

    I hope that the EV revolution is a net positive solution over ICE vehicles, but they are not some sort of magical product that is going to save the planet.
