Yeah, I expected a bit of a rant or sarcastic post, but I'm genuinely happy it's a good post with good points. I use htmx in a couple of my projects and it's been great! Posts like these give me more confident about using htmx because they seldom show where they excel and where they fall short.
I think StackOverflow/StackExchange has served their purpose, and are now rightfully in a decline.
There are some niches sites in the network like bicycling, English, Mathematica, Academia, etc. They contain extremely high quality answers. But for programming, it's nowadays much more easier on GitHub and relevant issue trackers. I think it's good, because there are many questions in those sites that contain often outdated answers. Some lucky questions get a comment there saying the answer is outdated, but there are many outdated answers.
Perhaps, JavaScript has a lot to do with this. JS evolves at a much faster rate than sites like StackOverflow can keep up.
Sony flagships fit these requirements (micro SD card slot, swim, flagship chip, esim, etc) but they unfortunately don't feel as polished in the software end. Not to mention Sony phones being very difficult to find.
According to the linked support page, nothing except Apple OSes and Windows is supported; not even desktop Linux! That's quite an accomplishment in 2024. They really went above and beyond in not supporting any modern browser.
Interestingly that /abc link works for me on Linux (Brave), but the published link doesn't work for me on Linux+any browser, Chrome included.
Agreed, quite annoying. I own a bunch of Apple stuff, but when they do this crap i can't invest further into their ecosystem because it's unusable to me much of the time.

I did my own a couple years ago, and it worked quite well on the first go. I got someone else to build the LiFePo4 battery pack (16 CATL cells for 48v with a JK BMS).
It was fairly easy to build. Mount panels on the roof, and wire everything (PV, battery, grid electricity if you want it, and the output) to the inverter. I added some extra steps to monitor usage and output, and a smart MCB. I also have a small shop that I can feed from solar power if the battery is almost charged and the sunset time hasn't reached yet.
See if you quotation is to export electricity to the grid. Those kinds of setups usually require a certified company to do the installation (to make sure the inverter syncs with the grid), but for off-grid setups, you can definitely DIY.
