As someone who owns these, I still have to charge them from time to time. My windows have some built in UV blocking and my home has an overhang. This won't matter for OP but the cords are short enough you have to put the solar panel at the top of the window if you plan to open it at all so part of the day the overhang blocks the sun. Then it also matters where the window itself is positioned to get sun. I use a backup battery you would use to charge a cell phone and just set it on the trim over the window and then come back for it in a few days when I finally remember. But my windows aren't 20ft in the air. It varies from window to window but it's usually several months between charges as the solar panels do charge enough during parts of the year.

Above is a year of battery data from my worst window and one of my better ones. It's heavily dependent on how close to a south facing wall the windows are. And of course, how your open close routines are setup.

Edit: These windows are in the same room on the same wall. The bad one is close to the northern corner of the house and the good one is close to the southern corner of the house. They are in my living room with our TV and open and close regularly as they shut when the TV is in use and open when it's not.

Once the copyright holder sells or gifts the book they no longer can control it. The only right they still hold is copyright. Their distribution right is exhausted.

It's a violation of the first sale doctrine. They can ask, but cannot legally prevent the resale.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine

The first-sale doctrine creates a basic exception to the copyright holder's distribution right. Once the work is lawfully sold or even transferred gratuitously, the copyright owner's interest in the material object in which the copyrighted work is embodied is exhausted. The owner of the material object can then dispose of it as they see fit. Thus, one who buys a copy of a book is entitled to resell it, rent it, give it away, or destroy it.

This comment proves its own argument.

It's already called "cold pasteurization."

Most instances I have found won't give you an account unless you plan to upload videos. Admins need the ability to grant accounts without upload right and have a request and approval process for creators later.

It's rising in popularity, most of the companies are new, and most people don't know anything about it, and it requires large sums of money. It's the perfect field to play in for those types.

The goal is to combat addictive sites with educational content.

 

Looking for positives, but especially negatives. What are the pitfalls of not granting corporations the same rights as people/citizens?

 

A conversation with Ali Breland about the long-simmering ideas animating Silicon Valley’s rightward turn.

 

Before the pandemic there were a few homeassistant/smart home YouTubers on the floor of CES every day putting videos out about the new devices they saw throughout the day. I haven't seen any of them doing that since the pandemic.

Anyone know of one that is still doing that or the best place to get summaries of new devices from CES with a smart home focus?
