  • Okay… And US equipment likely has the same backdoors for Trumps Gov. How about you guys make an affordable inverter and solar equipment that actually helps the green adoption rather than hindering it, without going full capitalism mode making everything as expensive as possible?

    Strange how in NA any time we get a solar subsidy or grant for homeowners or anything like that suddenly the already 20x marked up equipment goes up in price the EXACT amount of the subsidy or grant 🙄

    I think i’ll just go with the Chinese equipment and rip out any networking antennas inside. None of this IOT stuff should be networked anyways unless its on a isolated vlan atleast.





  • LingQ is Canadian; heard about it on c/buyEuropean community.

    Unfortunately the app is closed source and only on playstore, so won’t use that on my main profile. Could install it on my sandboxed “google” profile, but then I’d be much less likely to just quickly do some learning.

    The web functionality is pretty broken on both Firefox mobile (especially) and vanadium.

    I get a very uber-capitalist, biz-bro vibe from the guy running it, and the site in general. So I don’t think I’ll be paying a subcription for premium. The free tier only gives 20 “LingQs” which if you read the founders methodology, is the whole basis of his learning method, so you NEED unlimited lingQs which is a hefty monthly sub. 🤢

    Not sure if I believe their claims of how effective their method is or if they’re just looking to make a quick buck.


    Sidenote: If anyone wants to try the OP’s question on hard mode, I’d be interested in any Canadian (notUS) opensource language apps.
