  • Yeah it’s pretty crazy…prices vary by the hour, and that was only the single most expensive hour in that period though, and it was way above normal. Normally it peaks around 0.35USD/kWh with normal daytime prices around 0.2USD/kWh and nighttime prices around 0.1USD/kWh.

    My total electricity consumption in the 5-9pm period is only around 2kWh though, so despite high prices it’s not much money.

    Most “western” countries, like the US or western European countries, have very stabile currencies. You cherry picked three countries known for ridiculous instability in their currencies, that doesn’t show much TBH. For my day-to-day living, I’ll definitely pick the currency I know with very high certainty I can pay rent with in a year.

    They have to be stabile enough to enable me to receive them from my employer as payment, and not risking my ability to pay rent because the value suddenly reduced significantly.




  • if you have a pixel theres absolutely no reason why you shouldnt use it.

    Plenty reasons to not use it on a pixel…I had horrible compatibility with all sorts of banking apps, government 2FA and traffic warning systems, to the point where they just couldn’t work at all. Their sandboxed play services breaks a shitload of day to day convenience and even necessities to increase privacy.
