I have a lot of feelings about the use of AI in Everything These Days, but they're not particularly strong feelings, like I've got other shit going on. That said, when I use a desktop computer, every single file I use in Google Drive now has a constant irritating popup on the right-hand side asking me how Gemini AI Can Help Me. You can't, Gemini. You are in the way. I'm not even mad there's an AI there, I'm mad there's a constantly recurring popup taking up space and attention on my screen.

Here's the problem, however: even Gemini doesn't know how to disable Gemini. I did my own research and then finally, with a deep appreciation of the irony of this, I asked it how to turn it off. It said in any google drive file go to Help > Gemini and there will be an option to turn it off. Guess what isn't a menu item under Help?

I've had a look around at web tutorials for removing or blocking it, but they are either out of date or for the Gemini personal assistant, which I already don't have, and thus cannot turn off. Gemini for Drive is an integrated "service" within Google Drive, which I guess means I'm going to have to look into moving off Google Drive.

So, does anyone have references for a service as seamless and accessible as Google Drive? I need document, spreadsheet, slideshow, and storage, but I don't have any fancy widgets installed or anything. I do technically own Microsoft Office so I suppose I could use that but I've never found its cloud function to actually, uh, function. I could use OneNote for documents if things get desperate but OneNote is very limited overall. I want to be able to open and edit files, including on an Android phone, and I'd prefer if I didn't have to receive a security code in my text messages every time I log in. I also will likely need to be able to give non-users access, but I suppose I could kludge that in Drive as long as I only have to deal with it short-term.

Any thoughts, friends? If I find a good functional replacement I'm happy to post about it once I've tested it.

Also, saying this because I love you guys but if I don't spell it out I will get a bunch of comments about it: If you yourself have managed to banish Gemini from your Drive account including from popping up in individual files, I'm interested! Please share. If you have not actually implemented a solution yourself, rest assured, anything you find I have already tried and it does not work.

New Zealand has serious problems with its power supply. There are three underlying reasons: the weather, a flawed electricity market and a drive for ‘net zero’.

Sixty-five per cent of New Zealand’s electricity is provided by hydropower, and the remainder by geothermal, gas, coal, wind and some solar. Though hydropower is often seen as the one form of renewable energy which is not plagued by intermittency of supply, it sadly isn’t true. In a dry year, hydro’s ability to deliver falls away, and we lose about 10 per cent of our generation. In the past, we always tried to have the hydro reservoirs and coal stockpile full by the end of summer to guard against this possibility. When we switched to an electricity market, this was forgotten.

This year, we failed to refill the reservoirs, and levels are now unusually low. We are muddling along for the moment, but this is a difficult position from which to recover and there are likely to be blackouts at some point in the future.

The ability of our fossil fuel power stations to step into the gap has been severely restricted. We used to get 20 per cent of our electricity from gas-fired power stations, but six years ago, as part of their decarbonisation policy, the previous government banned further gas exploration, and we are now desperately short of gas. The new government is encouraging new exploration but we won’t see the results for several years.

We also have a single coal fired station with insufficient coal in its stockpile because our electricity market does not pay for the cost of maintaining an adequate stockpile.

The situation has been made worse by poor market design. New Zealand was one of the pioneers of electricity markets, and chose a risky model which has proved to be seriously flawed.

As a result, the problems this year have led to wholesale market prices rising to ridiculous levels of as much as £1/kWh. This has already caused some factories to shut down; others are under threat. The politicians are beginning to realise that the energy crisis could have serious effects on consumers, and there is speculation that they will be forced to intervene. This could mean instructing our gas and coal-fired power stations to run flat out day and night – which won’t make much difference because of the lack of fuel. Failing this, the only solution in the short term is rolling blackouts. and a public conservation campaign.

How did we get to this situation?

Firstly, the electricity market is simply not fit for purpose. The underlying propositions are that ‘electricity is a commodity like any other’ and that ‘when the price goes up, the demand goes down’. But electricity is not a commodity like any other, because it does not have an alternative or significant price elasticity. It isn’t a market that Adam Smith would recognise. As two departing CEOs said, the way to make money is to keep the system on the edge of a shortage. Which means that disaster is inevitable if a dry year occurs. And that is exactly what has happened.

The blind pursuit of ‘Net Zero’, has driven the closing down of gas exploration and the desire to shut down our coal fired station, even though it is doing a vital job in keeping the lights on.

The long-term problem

There has now been some rain on the hydro lakes and we are temporarily out of danger – assisted by the fact that the power companies have paid a stiff price to a major industrial gas user to shut down so that they can have its supplies.

But the long-term problem is still there: empty storage lakes that need to be refilled, not a lot of snow pack to melt in the springtime, declining supplies of gas, and the need to import 30 shiploads of coal and truck it to the power station. None can be achieved in the time available. The imminent shutdown of a 380 MW combined cycle power station, because it cannot find a secure gas supply for the next 20 years or so, adds to the problem. 

Instead we are placing our faith in more wind and solar power. The price will skyrocket when it is in short supply, but that will not help the wind and solar farms’ accounts as that is when they have very little to sell. When wind and sun are abundant, prices will crash. This means that the wind and solar farms under construction and planned will not make enough money to pay for their construction and operation. New Zealand does not directly subsidise wind and solar power so we can’t even be sure that the generators will continue building them. 

To be economic, wind and solar must be supported by low-cost long-term storage for days, weeks and months.There is no technology that can deliver this right now. New Zealand’s hydro reservoirs have huge capacity – approaching 10 per cent of a year’s electricity supply – but this storage capacity is already fully required to deal with the annual variations in hydro output. It cannot be used to back up solar and wind. Batteries simply can’t be used at national grid scales: they are too expensive by a factor of 50 or so.

Worse still the expectation is that electricity demand is going to increase rapidly, driven by domestic and industrial heat and road transport being electrified (although the extent to which this will actually happen in the face of rising power prices is debatable). Whether electric heating and transport arrive or not, we are already getting more and more data centres, which are a 24-hour per day load and need a reliable supply.

So the load will go up but we will be less able to keep the lights on when wind and solar are not delivering. Australia is 2000 km away, so there is no chance of importing from there, even if they did have power to spare, which they don’t.

We could build more geothermal stations, but that takes time, especially as the oil rigs they need to drill production wells have all departed overseas. There is probably 1000 MW so of identified geothermal potential, and there is the possibility that more could be found with exploration. But this is not a quick solution.

The only quick solution is to buy gas turbines and run them on diesel: not a nice prospect.

In the long-term we could consider more hydro generation, but that is blocked by many environmentalists, even though there is probably 2000 MW of potential left in the South Island. For those who do not believe in dangerous carbon-driven climate change – or who consider that atmospheric carbon levels will rise beyond desirable levels anyway due to China and India and that it is therefore pointless for Western nations to spend huge sums reducing their emissions – more coal and gas generation are an obvious solution but they are not quick.

For those who believe that man-made global warming is real and dangerous, and that it is worthwhile for the Western nations to cut emissions alone, we could be urgently considering nuclear power. This is the only practical and economic way of having reliable electric power with low carbon emissions. I suspect that in spite of a long-held opposition to nuclear armed and propelled ships, the New Zealand public are more sympathetic to nuclear power than they are believed to be.

Whatever happens, New Zealand faces a very uncertain situation in the next few years with an increasing risk of major shortages and a major increase in domestic electricity prices.

The implications for other countries

I suspect that this is the writing on the wall for all countries that have pursued net zero and ignored the importance of keeping the lights on at a reasonable price. The UK is already relying on interconnectors for about 10 per cent of its electricity and would be in serious trouble if Europe was unable to provide backup power when UK wind and solar are not delivering. 

For as long as Europe and other countries have net zero as a prime objective, electricity blackouts and high prices are inevitable. As we are planning to make our entire society electrically powered, this is a bleak prospect.

Securing Your Business Files During Office Relocation with a Business Storage Solution

Relocating your office can be an exciting prospect, signalling growth and new opportunities for your business. However, it can also be a stressful and challenging time, especially when it comes to securing your business files and sensitive information during the move. It's critical to ensure that your data is safe and easily accessible, even when you are in transition. That's where a business storage solution can be a game-changer. With a reliable and secure storage provider, you can streamline your office relocation process by keeping your files organized and secure, so you can focus on running your business. 

In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of using a business storage solution and how it can help you safeguard your valuable data during an office move.

Why is having secured business storage important when relocating offices? 

Having a secure business storage is important when relocating an office for several reasons:

Protect valuable and sensitive information 

During an office relocation, it's important to ensure that sensitive documents, equipment, and files are protected. Business storage solutions provide a safe and secure environment for valuable assets, such as confidential files, equipment, and electronics. This ensures that your business information is safe and not compromised during the relocation process. 

Reduce the risk of loss or damage 

When relocating an office, there is always a risk of loss or damage to your equipment and assets. Business storage solutions provide a safe and secure environment to store your equipment, furniture, and other assets, reducing the risk of damage or loss during the move. 

Provide a temporary storage solution 

Business storage solutions provide a temporary storage solution during an office relocation. This allows you to safely store your assets until your new office is ready for occupancy. 

Flexibility 

Business storage solutions provide flexibility in terms of space and duration. You can choose the amount of space you need and the duration of storage, making it a convenient and cost-effective solution for businesses of all sizes.  

How does having business storage during office removal streamline relocation?

Having a business storage solution during office removal can streamline the relocation process in several ways:

Reducing clutter and freeing up space: By storing equipment, furniture, and other assets in a business storage solution during office removal, you can reduce clutter and free up valuable space in your old office. This makes it easier to move around and pack items, which can streamline the removal process.

Providing a central location for storing assets: A business storage solution provides a centralized location for storing assets during an office removal. This makes it easier to keep track of items and ensures that everything is in one place, which can streamline the removal process.

Providing a flexible storage solution: Business storage solutions provide flexibility in terms of space and duration. This means that you can store items for as long as you need, making it easier to coordinate the timing of your move and ensure that everything is in the right place at the right time.

Reducing the risk of damage or loss: Business storage solutions provide a safe and secure environment for storing assets during an office removal. This reduces the risk of damage or loss during the move, which can streamline the process by reducing the need for repairs or replacements.

In a nutshell, having a business storage solution during office removal can streamline the process by reducing clutter, providing a centralized location for storing assets, offering flexibility, and reducing the risk of damage or loss.

When should offices consider renting long-term or short-term business storage during relocation?

There are several situations where you should consider having extra business storage during your office relocation:

Limited space in your new office

If your new office has limited space, it may be a good idea to consider renting extra business storage to store equipment and furniture that you don't need immediately. This can help prevent clutter in your new space and make it easier to organize and set up your new office.

Delay in moving into your new office

If there is a delay in moving into your new office, having extra business storage can provide a temporary solution for storing your equipment and furniture until your new office is ready. This can prevent the need to store your items in an insecure or unsuitable location.

Large or sensitive items

If you have large or sensitive items that require extra protection, such as artwork, electronics, or confidential documents, having extra business storage can ensure that they are stored safely and securely during the move.

Temporary downsizing

If you are downsizing your office temporarily or permanently, having extra business storage can provide a flexible solution for storing equipment and furniture that you don't need immediately. This can help you save money on rent and keep your unused items in a safe and secure location.

Overall, you should consider having extra business storage on your office relocation when you have limited space in your new office, there is a delay in moving, you have large or sensitive items, or you are downsizing temporarily or permanently. Having extra storage can provide a flexible and secure solution for storing your equipment and furniture during the move.

I know it's pretty unhelpful to offer unsolicited advice to donation posts but for those in the US who are going through a hard time I do want to at least make sure people know some options they may have available to them that have helped me and friends out over the year.

Call everyone you pay bills to and ask about hardship plans or assistance options. Try and avoid any long term reduced payment plans but short term are generally fine. One or two month deferments are fine too. If it's a long term (1+ years) sudden situation then ask about settlement options. It's not the best for your credit but it's better than late payment reports ending up in a charge off.

Do not use a DSC unless you have a lot of stuff in collections/different accounts to pay and don't have the time or energy to deal with them yourself. Dsc's charge you to settle on accounts usually one by one as accounts fall more and more delinquent. You can do that yourself. If it's already charged off save it for later

Don't wait until savings are gone to ask for these assistance options. The minute you don't have income reduce your expenses as much as possible.

Unless it is an expense you are 95% you can pay off without issue do not take out a loan

Apply for unemployment the same day you lose a job and keep up with the paperwork. I've lost out on potential unemployment earnings 3 different times because of how confused I get from it so don't be afraid to call and ask for help or explanations.

Car auctions can be your friend for a vehicle . Police auctions are not great but see if there are any other auctions nearby and you can generally get a car for the same price as a down payment. If you have car knowledge great if not try and bring someone that does. Even if you don't check that it starts, pop the hood and make sure nothing's missing, and look up the car model for common issues.

Need a job fast and can't stand fast food? Call centers are always hiring. Like any job they do suck and some are worse than others but they tend to pay more than minimum wage and they're not physically demanding if that's an issue. Also try storage facilities as they tend to have benefits and may provide housing or at least a discount on a storage unit if your living situation demands one.

This isn't important financially but it's something that affected me for a long time. But if you're feeling lonely and looking for a community or even just someone to connect with then do participate in book clubs, low cost classes or social events, strike up conversation with others at the parades, bars/clubs, library, store wherever. Even if it's just a connection in passing it will enrich you. And if you don't put yourself out there those connections will be harder to come by.

Therapy isn't cheap and journaling isn't a replacement but it can cost less than 2 dollars and it at least helps to get the thoughts and feelings out somewhere.

Goodwill sucks. Look for smaller donation shops a lot of them do actual community outreach.

That's all I got and this is not a list of cure all solutions that will work for everyone or solve problems 100%. These are just things that have either helped me in the past or I wish I would've done differently. There's a lot of tips out there and it sucks to live in survival mode like that but always choose what's best for you.

How to Choose the Right Reefer Container for Your Business Needs

Selecting the perfect reefer container is crucial for businesses that rely on the transportation and storage of temperature-sensitive goods. Whether you are in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, or any other sector requiring precise temperature control, understanding your specific needs is the first step. This guide will help you navigate the essential factors to consider when choosing the right reefer container for your business.

1. Determine the Type of Goods You’re Transporting

The type of goods you plan to store or transport plays a significant role in determining the reefer container you need. For instance, perishables like fruits and vegetables require a different temperature range compared to frozen goods or pharmaceuticals. It’s essential to match the container’s cooling capabilities to the specific needs of your products. For more detailed information on how reefer containers can preserve different goods, check out our fruits ripening cold rooms guide.

2. Consider the Duration of Storage or Transport

The length of time your goods will be in the container also affects your choice. Short-term storage may not require the same level of insulation or power efficiency as long-term storage or transport. If your business frequently deals with extended shipping times, investing in a container with advanced cooling technology and robust insulation is crucial. Learn more about long-term cold storage solutions in our portable cold room guide.

3. Evaluate the Size and Capacity Requirements

Reefer containers come in various sizes, typically ranging from 20 feet to 40 feet. Your choice should depend on the volume of goods you plan to store or transport. Overestimating your needs can lead to unnecessary costs, while underestimating may result in insufficient storage space. To determine the ideal size for your operations, consider consulting our low budget cold room options, which offer a range of customizable solutions.

4. Energy Efficiency and Operating Costs

Energy efficiency is a critical factor in choosing a reefer container, especially for businesses looking to reduce operational costs. Modern containers are equipped with energy-saving technologies that help minimize power consumption while maintaining precise temperature control. For insights into energy-efficient cold storage solutions, explore our chiller systems designed for optimal performance with minimal energy usage.

5. Assess the Container’s Reliability and Maintenance Needs

Finally, consider the reliability and maintenance requirements of the reefer container. A high-quality container should offer consistent performance with minimal downtime. It’s also important to factor in the availability of maintenance services and spare parts in your region. For more tips on maintaining your cold storage units, visit our cold room maintenance guide.

The Hidden Costs of Moving: What to Watch Out For

Moving to a new home can be an exciting adventure, but it often comes with hidden costs that can catch you off guard. Understanding these potential expenses and planning for them can help you manage your moving budget more effectively. Here’s a guide to the hidden costs of moving and how to keep them under control.

1. Packing Supplies

While many people think of packing as a straightforward task, the costs of packing supplies can add up quickly. Boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and other materials are essential for protecting your belongings during transit. If you’re moving a large household, these costs can be significant. To save money, consider sourcing used boxes from local businesses or friends, and opt for reusable packing materials.

2. Professional Packing Services

If you decide to hire professional packers, this service can add a considerable amount to your moving budget. Packing services often include a range of tasks, from carefully wrapping fragile items to disassembling furniture. Be sure to get a detailed quote and understand what’s included in the service to avoid unexpected charges. For a reliable and comprehensive packing service, consider referral moving companies like Assureshift, MoveMyGhar, which can help you manage these costs effectively.

3. Moving Insurance

While most moving companies offer basic coverage for your belongings, it’s often limited. If you have valuable or sentimental items, you may need to purchase additional moving insurance to ensure they are fully protected. This extra layer of coverage can prevent you from facing significant out-of-pocket expenses in case of damage or loss.

4. Temporary Housing Costs

In some cases, you might need to stay in temporary housing if there’s a gap between your move-out and move-in dates. These costs can include renting a short-term apartment or staying in a hotel, which can add to your moving expenses. Plan ahead to avoid these costs or find ways to minimize them.

6. Unforeseen Costs

During a relocation, unforeseen expenses may occur, including sudden changes of plans, unexpected delays, or additional charges for weighty or oversized items. It is advisable to establish an emergency fund to mitigate financial tension and address these unexpected expenses.

7. Storage Costs

If you need to store your belongings temporarily before your new home is ready, storage fees can add up. Storage costs vary depending on the size of the unit and the length of time you need it. Plan for these costs in advance and look for cost-effective storage solutions.

8. Professional Moving Services

While hiring a moving company can streamline the process, the cost can vary widely depending on the company and the services provided. Companies like MoveMyGhar offer comprehensive moving solutions that can help manage and minimize these hidden costs. Be sure to get multiple quotes and understand what’s included to make an informed decision.

Conclusion

By being aware of these hidden costs and planning accordingly, you can better manage your moving budget and avoid any financial surprises. Moving can be a complex process, but with careful preparation and a clear understanding of potential expenses, you can make your transition to a new home smoother and more cost-effective.

Do CCTV cameras work without electricity?

The short answer is that CCTV cameras typically do not work without electricity. However, the situation is more complex, and certain models can continue to function during a power outage:

Battery-Powered, Wireless Security Cameras:

These cameras have rechargeable batteries and can operate for a limited time after a power outage. They store footage on onboard storage, but live viewing may be interrupted until the system is back online.

Solar-Powered Security Cameras:

These cameras use solar energy to operate and can continue working without a traditional electrical power source, provided there is enough sunlight.

Backup Generators:

Backup generators can supply electricity to the CCTV system during a power outage, ensuring continued operation.

Other ways to keep your CCTV cameras operating during a power outage include:

Having Backup Power for Your Home or Business: Installing a comprehensive backup power solution such as a whole-house generator can ensure continuous operation of your CCTV system.

Installing Battery Backups on Every Device: Adding battery backups to cameras, DVRs/NVRs, and network equipment can help maintain functionality during short-term power interruptions.

Using a UPS Power Backup for the DVR or NVR: A UPS ensures that your recording devices remain powered and continue recording, even during a power outage.

CCTV cameras generally require electricity to function, but with the right setup—such as battery power, solar energy, or backup generators—they can continue to operate during power outages.

A Comprehensive Guide to Preparing Your Las Vegas Home for a Kitchen Remodeling Project

Embarking on kitchen remodeling in your Las Vegas home is an exciting endeavor that promises to enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of one of the most important spaces in your house. However, before you dive headfirst into the renovation process, it’s essential, to adequately prepare your home to ensure a smooth and successful project. In this insider’s guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to prepare your Las Vegas home for a kitchen remodel, ensuring that every aspect is thoughtfully considered and executed.

Plan Your Budget and Design: Before you begin any physical preparations, it’s crucial to establish a realistic budget for your kitchen remodel. Consider factors such as materials, labor costs, permits, and contingencies to ensure you have a comprehensive understanding of the financial aspects of your project. Additionally, work with a reputable kitchen contractor like GI Construction to create a detailed design plan that aligns with your vision and budget.

Clear Out the Kitchen: Start by removing all items from your kitchen cabinets, drawers, and countertops. Store kitchen essentials in temporary storage containers to keep them organized and easily accessible during the remodeling process. Clearing out the space will not only make it easier for contractors to work but also protect your belongings from dust and damage.

Set Up a Temporary Kitchen: Since your kitchen will be out of commission during the remodel, it’s essential to set up a temporary kitchen in another area of your home. Designate a space for essentials such as a microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, and refrigerator to ensure you can still prepare meals and snacks while your kitchen is undergoing renovations.

Protect Flooring and Furniture: Cover your floors and nearby furniture with protective materials such as drop cloths or plastic sheeting to prevent damage from dust, debris, and heavy foot traffic. This step is especially crucial if you have hardwood, tile, or laminate flooring that you want to preserve during the remodel.

Secure Pets and Children: Remodeling projects can be noisy, chaotic, and potentially hazardous, especially for pets and young children. Make arrangements to keep your pets in a safe and comfortable area away from the construction zone, such as a gated room or outdoor space. Similarly, establish ground rules and safety protocols to ensure the well-being of children during the remodeling process.

Communicate with Your Contractor: Effective communication with your kitchen contractor is key to a successful remodeling project. Discuss important details such as project timelines, work schedules, and any specific preferences or concerns you may have. Maintain open lines of communication throughout the process to address any issues or changes promptly.

Prepare for Disruptions: Kitchen remodels can disrupt your daily routine and lifestyle, so it’s essential to prepare yourself mentally and emotionally for the temporary inconvenience. Be flexible and adaptable, and focus on the long-term benefits of the remodel rather than the short-term disruptions.

Consider Accessibility Needs: If you or a family member have specific accessibility needs, such as mobility challenges or dietary restrictions, take these into account when planning your kitchen remodel. Work with your contractor to incorporate features such as lower countertops, wheelchair ramps, or accessible storage solutions to ensure that your new kitchen is functional and inclusive for everyone.

Stay Organized and Flexible: Throughout the remodeling process, stay organized by keeping track of important documents, receipts, and communication with your contractor. Remain flexible and open to adjustments as the project progresses, as unexpected challenges or opportunities may arise that require adaptation to the original plan.

Trust the Experts: Finally, trust in the expertise and professionalism of your kitchen contractor, such as GI Construction. With their knowledge, experience, and dedication to quality craftsmanship, they will guide you through every step of the remodeling process and ensure that your vision for your Las Vegas home’s new kitchen becomes a reality.

Obtain Necessary Permits: Before commencing any construction work, it’s essential to obtain the necessary permits from the local authorities in Las Vegas. Your kitchen contractor, such as GI Construction, can assist you in navigating the permitting process and ensuring that all necessary approvals are obtained before work begins. This step is crucial to avoid any legal complications and ensure that your remodel complies with building codes and regulations.

Protect Valuables and Fragile Items: Before the start of construction, take the time to safeguard valuables and fragile items in your home. Remove any artwork, decorative pieces, or sentimental items from the kitchen and surrounding areas to prevent damage during the remodeling process. Consider storing these items in a secure location until the project is complete to ensure their safety.

Coordinate Delivery of Materials: If you’ve selected specific materials or fixtures for your kitchen remodel, coordinate their delivery with your contractor to ensure they arrive on time and are readily available when needed. This proactive approach helps prevent delays and keeps the project on schedule, allowing for a smoother and more efficient remodeling process.

Communicate Any Changes or Concerns: Throughout the kitchen remodel, maintain open lines of communication with your contractor and promptly communicate any changes or concerns that arise. Whether it’s a design alteration, unexpected budget adjustment, or scheduling conflict, addressing issues proactively helps minimize disruptions and ensures that the project stays on track.

Plan for Clean-Up and Post-Construction: As the kitchen remodeling project nears completion, discuss clean-up and post-construction activities with your contractor. Ensure that the work area is thoroughly cleaned and debris removed before final inspection. Additionally, inquire about any warranties or maintenance recommendations for newly installed fixtures or appliances to prolong their lifespan and preserve the integrity of your newly renovated kitchen.

Enjoy Your Newly Remodeled Kitchen: Once the construction dust has settled and the finishing touches are in place, take a moment to savor the fruits of your labor and enjoy your newly remodeled kitchen. Whether you’re cooking a gourmet meal, entertaining guests, or simply relaxing with your morning coffee, your revamped kitchen is sure to enhance your daily life and elevate your home living experience in Las Vegas.
