If you're important enough they won't let you send letters at all.

If you're unimportant, well anything you agreed on beforehand should be okay.

What kind of sensor do you suggest for measuring that? I'm genuinely curious why they are not industry standard.

My guess is price and/or robustness. The RTCs we use are cheap and durable.

There are a lot of smart engineers that design those.

If you have an external temperature measurement it helps. But it can't see the difference between a cloudy day and a sunny day.

If you connect it to an online weather service that helps, but it's still hard for it to know how much the sun heats your home due to big south facing windows for example.

This is something AI could be useful for. Feed it forecast, inside, outside temp and let it figure out how to balance those against each other for your home. I'm not sure there are many systems like this on the market yet.

Does leasing the land pay enough to make it worthwhile? Gives you time to think.

If it's fertile land you should probably use it, or lease it, to grow food.

Farming is not easy. Until you learnt to be good at it you'll put in a lot of hours into making not much money after costs have been paid.

I dabbled for a few years before I made the switch.

You learn after you switch. Not before. Because then it's easier to search for a Linux solution than it is to reinstall windows and get it done in the way you're familiar.

If you can dual boot and do your daily needs you are good enough to make the switch.

Maximum freedom, minimum government. But make sure the 10th percentile also have a meaningful improvement in living standards.

How you ask? Fucked if I know. I make computers go brrrrr, not societies.

And the one big customer who has standardized on xlsx, docx etc and use one of the two features that make the file look awful on anything not ms.

At work we run some software that while you can get it to run under Linux it's not worth the effort even for me to bother.

One supplier is slowly moving towards the runtime being available on BSD at least. They also somewhat decoupled from visual studio in the latest release, while still being mandatory still it's a step in the right direction.

Depends on the outcome of the next election.
