I just want to point out that the other device being compared actually includes a radon sensor and the cost of that device would be cheaper than the airgradient plus the radon sensor.
Tell that you uave no idea how electricity grids work and why a connected one across a whole region is better than isolated ones without tellong you know shit about that topic...
Sweden is perfectly energy independent as long they don't export. Existing nuclear and wind production is perfectly able to produce the wast majority of energy that get consumed, and national hydro power has so far capacity to last through any periods of low production. There are also additional thermal power plants that operates on gas, oil and garbage to balance the grid.
What Sweden do not have is hydro capacity to also power nearby countries while maintaining low prices and energy independence. From a national perspective, the natural resources that is hydro power would results in lower energy prices in Sweden if they did not share the market prices of the European grid (Multiple energy experts has voiced this in the last few years of energy debates).
However, Sweden has agreements to allow free trade of energy as part of the EU membership. Many of the stakes holder in the hydro power is also non-state owned, which means they are legally allowed to export the energy at the highest bid even if that results in higher costs for Swedish citizens. In theory the government could issue tariffs to recover some of the value from the natural resources that is hydro power, but that would lead to rather severe geo political consequences. Denmark is for example one of the largest importer of Swedish energy, and energy tariffs would basically target the Swedish-Danish relationship in a rather major negative way.
It's better for Germany since the Swedish power production is cleaner and cheaper. The demand from Germany makes it more expensive for Swedish customers.
I guess it's fine that they want to import but don't block nuclear in Sweden then.
Yes, and I like the idea of "Shipping old but stable versions of packages with security fixes backported is the motto of Debian Stable". This is how it works with Windows too. Windows 11 is using LibreSSL 3.4.3 and the latest stable release is 3.9.2 according to the LibreSSL website.
I want the OS to be stable, but the installed user programs to be the latest stable version. So SSH can stay on an older stable version, but user programs like syncthing, firefox, docker etc. should be latest stable version.
> Debian has backports. Read the Debian docs first, then rant later.
I'm not ranting. I'm just telling how I would like the out-of-the-box experience to be. I don't want to read a lot of documentation on how to set it up to get the latest official stable version of each program. Maybe I want something like "backports-get install syncthing" but maybe not, since "Backports are packages taken from the next Debian release (called "testing")" - I want the latest official stable version.
> IRL, stability matters. And no one wants to break things over a stable version.
Then it should be up to the user to pin the package to an older version. I want the latest official stable version of e.g. syncthing. If I want an older version, I should be able to pin it that version instead.

Then Debian/Devuan/Gnuinos (FSF) is not for you. I used to pin the backports repo to have the highest priority, as it had the most updated browsers, libreoffice and the kernel while keeping the rest stable. It worked really well.
>I don't want to read a lot of documentation on how to set it up to get the latest official stable version of each program.
Debian has an administration handbook which can be installed offline, you don't have to do for each program. Just read the section on backports, set the priorities right under Synaptic (the easiest way to do that) and rull a full upgrade.
the same way we can be, reasonable, sure that other tools, like knifes and saws, when used for their intended tasks and in the intended way, are just tools.
