Possibly? But how are apps supposed to handle that when they expect an API response?

Is there a reason you're applying it to the API? Most only apply it to the UI.

When applied to the API, apps and clients that validate the instance by calling /api/v3/site will fail.

Heat pumps move heat. In the summer, it's pulling heat from inside and moving it outside and the opposite of that in the winter.

Basically, the temperature differential is what makes the difference. The larger the differential, the more energy it has to use.

In the winter, when it's 30 degrees (F) outside, and you want it to be 70 inside, that's 40 degrees it has to move. In the summer when it's 90 degrees outside, and you want it at 70 inside, that's only 20 degrees.

Air source heat pumps, as the name implies, pull heat from (and exhaust heat to) the ambient air. When it's really cold in the winter, there's less ambient heat to move inside, so it has to run longer. Some (all?) heat pumps also have an auxiliary resistive heating element to make up the difference which lowers efficiency quite a bit.

Granted, newer heat pumps can work well down to lower temperatures without having to engage the aux heat than the older ones I'm familiar with, but in a nutshell, that's why they can potentially use less energy in the summer.

Now all I want to do is invent a blended cocktail called "Kernel Panic".

Can't forget its pseudo-predecessor America's Funniest Home Videos and all of the guys recording themselves getting kicked/hit in the groin to try to win $10,000.

The Fingers You Have Used to Dial are Too Fat

I had that as the outgoing message on my voicemail for years. People hated it Eye Roll

Who wouldn't want to be Frankie when they grow up?

Memory unlocked: Back when I smokeed cigarettes and before you could get high from vapes, when I wanted to see if another person at work was "cool" I would ask to borrow their lighter and look at the bottom corner for the telltale sign of ash packed into the little groove.

Thanks. That's already set to grayscale out of the box. I guess what confused me was that screenshots were in color (when I sent them to my PC to look at) but on my old Lineage 16/Android 9 device with "reading mode" enabled, the screenshots were in grayscale.

Apparently screenshots are no longer affected by those settings in later releases.
