  • Yet, some landlords refused it. There have been talks about a new regulation, but currently a landlord can more or less arbitrarily deny solar panels.

    My “landlord” is a company owned 100% by the city I live in, they claim to embrace solar, but in order to get the permit to install a panel I need a structural review of the balcony, which a) costs a ton of money and b) I need some documentation (blueprints/plan) from my landlord. So far that sounds kind of reasonable, buuuut they refuse to give out any information about their buildings, so even if I would pay someone to prove the balcony won’t collapse, this guy can’t finish the report without knowing what the wall is made of.

    So effectively, they managed to pull ye olde Kafka not-really-denial.

    That has nothing to do with a conspiracy, it’s just cheaper. If they can get away with it, they’ll do it.

    Reality is, most people give relatively thought to their purchases. They just buy “the new iPhone” or pick an Android that seems reasonable to them. And even those who do ostensibly care, often enough only care about specifications. More cores, more nits, more camera.

    Question is rather: why does Android not allow any distinction between Internal and external/removable?

    My downloaded media files belong on the SD card, but APKs, sqlite DBs and temp files don’t belong there. But de facto, it’s just used as an extension for internal storage. That’s just stupid.
