It's quite normal as chip manufacturing improves and die sizes shrink. Smaller dies need less power and therefore run cooler, it's a win-win. It's also how the various slim models of consoles suddenly appear a few years after the regular version came out.

Nah that one attaches to the twisty rod thing that you get on normal blinds. I need something more like this but I can't find a non-Aliexpress version. Not that it matters cos I'd need 5 of them and that puts the idea out of my price range for the foreseeable future.
Normal to get a 50% discount for paying quickly and without appeal. Last I checked you couldn't pay with Nectar points, though.
Yeah that's normal in Britain for council and government fines (as opposed to often unenforceable private parking charges). The shitty part is that if you try to dispute it they don't put the timer on hold so you essentially play double or nothing on how strong you think your case is. Lose and you have to pay the full thing. Not bitter at all.
TIL they're called plantation blinds! The slats swivel open and closed as opposed to the entire thing raising and lowering but I assume that's what you meant. No external rod or handle, all of the slats are linked inside the frame somehow.
Edit: Actually knowing what they are has helped my search massively. Looks like there's options on Aliexpress, albeit not particularly cheap. Thanks!
Yeah that's exactly what I'd done but it was insisting on trying to redirect me to the site on port 4443 for some reason.
Fixed it in the end by reverting the NPM config to default (no advanced settings) and instead using Pihole's VIRTUAL_HOST=pihole.mydomain.internal environment variable in the Docker compose file.
Cheers for your help anyway!
Just tried this myself and mine does the same thing but I don't have anything set in the custom locations tab. What did you do to resolve it?
This is the exact same argument that I see used against EVs almost daily, while the people making these calls for "better analysis" ignore the dodgy mining practices and literal wars that are the result of oil extraction. But let's go back to fireworks. I spent all of 30 seconds Googling and found this. I'm sure it's far from an exhaustive list of firework ingredients but it's a decent start. Highlights include:
Sulfur - extracted from oil and natural gas.
Aluminum - 28% of US aluminum comes from recycled sources, which is great, but any that goes into fireworks is then lost forever. The rest of it comes from mines in Canada and Jamaica.
Iron and copper - Mined domestically and both are recyclable but gone forever once they're exploded.
Strontium - Mined in Mexico.
Barium - Mined in China.
Sodium - Mined in Chile and Peru.
How come you're not asking for a better analysis of the mining practices for the ores extracted in Jamaica, Mexico, China, Chile, and Peru? How much of anything that makes up your average firework, including cardboard and plastic, is recycled at the end of that firework's life? How many fireworks are reusable even once let alone tens or even hundreds of times? Much like with oil burning cars, these things are ignored because they've been around for a long time and it's normalised. Meanwhile emerging technologies, while demonstrably cleaner/better in pretty much every metric, are held to impossible standards that the old tech gets a free pass on.
No, we don't recycle much lithium yet but it's a new technology and battery recycling plants are springing up all over the place all the time, and these same plants often deal in the various other electronic materials that you cited. How much used petroleum is recycled each year? How many fireworks?
I don't want to argue and I should probably just delete this rather than posting it, having said my piece to myself, but perhaps I'm my own worst enemy...
7,500 reusable/repairable drones in this show vs more than 12,000 single use fireworks in London's last New Year's show alone.
I fully agree that fireworks still have their place, but I think the suggestion that they're in any way comparable to drones from an environmental standpoint is way off base.
