#wind #energy on a #roof is looking better than #solar , and #cheaper https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/10/17/r.. This #company may not be #legit though given the actions of their #ceo . That said, I believe that #wind #turbines are the single #easiest and #cheapest way a single person could #generate #electric almost anywhere in the world.
Okay, I want one: https://shop.simulavr.com/ #simulavr is an #ar / #vr #headset for using #linux on the go: https://shop.simulavr.com/ I have wanted such a thing for a long time! Hopefully it doesn't cause eye/head strain! It's a little too expensive for now, but looking forward to #cheaper #alternatives !

Apparently once the #cache fills up the speed of the drive halves!
Seems like #vr #tracking is getting even #cheaper - using just a #vga #camera and some #printed #markers ! https://github.com/ju1ce/April-Tag-VR-Fu..
And so #inflation begins, but instead #shrinkflation https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2021/.. I've noticed this also over the years, but apparently this is happening *even more* in recent times. Smaller #packages have smaller #mass , #cheaper #manufacturing and slightly less #shipping costs.
I like how many #original #hacks there are recently, this time with a 3D #printer that #prints #upsidedown https://hackaday.com/2021/08/03/stranges.. I assume that such a design could even end up #cheaper too with some thinking.
