I haven’t seen a water heater with one though.

Pitfalls:

You have a small space: heatpumps need airspace and it needs to circulate. An enclosed closet won’t work.

Your heater is outside: heatpumps pull air through and dust/cobweb buildup isn’t good.

You dont have electricity to the heater: heatpumps need a decent cuirruit size to run. Some can run off a small 120v circuit.

You didn’t size right: heatpumps can’t keep up with sustained demand usage. A larger tank offsets this.

You can keep your old system too though. Just put your hybrid before it and set your temps at like 125 for the heat pump and 120 for the boiler. Your boiler will rarely need to run unless you have sustained usage, a power failure, or it needs to bring temps up in the water it’s holding.

I had to read this twice since the wall and the inside of the hat have the same wallpaper.

How? I’d like to make my own too.

Now do Canadian geese.

Crowdstrike has an impressive marketing budget.

BlackBerry cylance was a better product in every aspect but BB didn’t try to market it after aquiring it.

Dell has their own instructions on making a bootable usb for bios updates:

This graph sucks. 2084 is listed twice but at different lengths.

Inspector came to look at the house for some reason and was impressed to see a house built in the 50’s with a giant length of walnut(?) something like 8”x 12” by 20’

I have an old house on my property that has a similar piece of wood holding everything up.

They don’t/can’t build like that anymore.

I think it’s part of the windows sdk but yeah it’s free.

Just use a win pe boot environment.

Your experience is not typical.

Windows only updates once a month. Rarely there is an out of band patch.

Updating after install is long, but it is optional, and it only happens the one time you install. If you’re reinstalling often then you’re doing it wrong.

I haven’t seen multiple restarts in many years.

You can always roll back an update if something goes wrong

.net updates are the worst. They appear to compile on each machine but it usually happens as a background task after restarting a restart.

But other updates are fine if you haven’t missed the previous month. They install in the background with lower priority. They download from other devices on your network, or from other devices closer to you than Microsoft’s cdn to reduce internet transit.

If you miss a month it will need to download the entire update, usually 1gb in size. Otherwise they only download a minimal amount of files.

Hotpatching is probably coming to everyone as they made it free for most business use. Updating Windows then wont require a restart except for 1-2x per year.

No they aren’t.

Feature updates take the same amount of time as monthly updates. It’s been like this for years.

I have a lot of win32 to deal with so not exactly ARM friendly but with recent hardware cost increases I’m aiming to support ARM by end of year and begin a real transition next year unless intel can pull a rabbit out of the x86 hat again. Panther lake has me cautiously optimistic.

Surprising good for small companies that don’t want to deal with hardware maintenance but are already in the m365 ecosystem.

Updates for drivers, firmware, etc comes right from windows update and not from a 3rd party app like dell/hp/lenovo business-oriented devices do.

Your basically setting up and email server with a gateway service for inbound and outbound mail delivery.

This is typically called a secure email gateway. I’m not sure if there are any designed for personal use.

Yes. If you look at the last couple of elections and when they were born you’ll notice an outlier that got that vote because they promised something different.

It’s doable, but it seems like the current voters like people born at the tail end of WW2.

The Northwest Sasquatch tick can grow to 6” in size and kill a person overnight.

What has your own research found?

Is GLPI + OCS Inventory still around?
