I'd like to understand this please. Why would the 1M context be kept in VRAM if you're using DSV4 Pro through the API? Or did you refer to different sessions?
I just configured KDE today and I just "cloned" my status bar across my monitors. Seems to be working ok. The only thing is that they seem to be truly independent clones: once I changed some config on one of them, it didn't propagate to the others. On the upside is that they can be positioned indepently on their respective monitor..
Our place is more like your old place: all the bedrooms get the afternoon sun. We usually relied on having the blinders (external ones, electrically actuated) down, keeping the bedrooms dark until sunset (and using the external cool air at 7AM to cool the house for ~1.5 hours). It still doesn't solve the issue completely, the interior air temperature sometimes gets to 29-30 Celsius in the afternoon.
A bit on the toasty side. That was before we had solar installed, now we might as well get AC to use the sun to our advantage. On a personal note, I like the interior a bit warmer, somewhere around 24-25 Celsius.
Yes, indeed, once I saw the math/price, it seemed like a no-brainer to just install it. Anedoctal, of course, the rumour is a few (small-ish) companies here offer their complete services abroad in EU (at least to Germany to my knowledge), which makes it very cheap to install, but I did not interact with said companies.
I have friends in Germany and their solar (similar to ours, no batteries) installation cost more than double. At the time, it seemed expensive and out of reach...
EDIT: forgot to mention that there is a big solar installation boom here, our godfather has a small company which just installed two solar parks and waits for them to go into operation (which is harder than it sounds, due to bureaucracy).
EDIT 2: Just for fun, I've calculated todays price (retail price at the time of writing this) using Romanian prices:
- 22 solar panels (460w): 434.39 RON/panel [1]
- 8kW hybrid inverter: 4873 RON [2]
- 2 16kWh batteries: 17576 RON [3]
Total is 32009 RON, that is (at current exchange rate) 6088EUR. The rest is service (planning/execution), warranty and so on.
$35k and $0.50 per kWh is quite pricy. My brother is in US (Kansas) and he told me that for the time being, it doesn't make sense for him to get solar, as the utility price is something like $0.07/kWh and he uses a low amount of electricity and install cost would be somewhere around $20k-25k. I think the math works?
We also did the math for ourselves with 8-10 years at current electricity prices: 30 eurocents/kWh (which got 3x more expensive in the last 10 years). So we might be lucky and break even even sooner.
I agree. The momentum seems to be building up though, at least in (east) Europe, so there is a glimpse of hope.
Fun fact: we still don't have AC in our house (it's a new-ish building, built 4 years ago) because it's decently insulated (and we live near the mountains). As in your case, our solar produces way over 100% of what we need, so I'm considering just getting AC to use the sun to cool the house if needed :)
We installed roof solar (10kW panels + 8kW hybrid inverter + 32kWh battery + planning/execution) last October for 11k euro. After all the math, our "investment" would pay off in approx 8-10 years (at current electricity prices). That's without an electric car, which we plan to buy sometime in the next two years.
All in all, pretty happy. Especially that we have frequent grid faults. Even my ISP has some beefy batteries for their equipment, so much so that one 14-hour grid blackout didn't affect us at all and we were able to use the internet since we're working from home (FTTH + ONT, GPON).
Usual disclaimer, sample size of one. We're in Romania.
I remember a while back I also had this issue on iOS (maybe around 2022 or so), though lately seems to be solved and works as one can hope so. When you're making the exceptions, do you explicitly input phone numbers or some other method? I selected contacts from my contacts list and it does the job. This is for iOS in my case. I'm not familiar with Android, so cannot give any input there..
