Do not buy FLIR products, they are scumbags

I have a FLIR One Pro iphone thermal camera, and I've been scratching my head trying to find the "Lock Span" function in the app. You know, the one that makes the camera actually useful? Without it the display is a constantly changing disco light show and you can not use it to survey anything efficiently.

Turns out they simply removed the feature from the app, to encourage you to buy a new product, which still has the lock span feature enabled.

Needless to say, fuck that, I'll be buying the CHINESE cheapass equivalent thermal camera next time.

Electricity is priced wrong.

cross-posted from: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/127188

Have you ever heard of “net metering”?

It means that if your electric company gives you net metering, you can connect a generator or solar panels to your house and sell excess electricity back to the utility at the same price that they bill you for.

Sounds great right?

No, actually its a major problem for the utility.

The reason is that power plants take a significant amount of time to throttle up or down. If everyone in the area has solar power feeding back into the power grid, sudden changes in sunlight can cause major fluctuations and destabilize the power grid.

So what is the solution?

Dynamic pricing. Some areas already do this. How it works is that the price you pay (or receive) for electricity depends on the conditions on the power grid at the moment, updating as fast as possible.

When the grid has a deficit of power at the moment (maybe a power plant is struggling to throttle up to

When the grid has a deficit of power at the moment (maybe a power plant is struggling to throttle up to meet demand) the price goes way up.

If the grid has a surplus power at the moment, the
