   Landys&Gyr is a bit old school in this regard. Some countries (like France or Spain), use communications via PLC which are encrypted to the local transformer. They are then sent to the distributor via 4g/whatever

   I still don't understand why UK citizens were forbidden to vote if they lived abroad. My mother and grandparents (anti-brexit) live abroad, were not able to vote, and are now living the consequences of it (they only have the UK nationa

   I'm sometimes afraid of these "mega-corps" that have the effect of really changing things. Sometimes in a bad way. Sadly, once you've got money, you can earn much more. What the limit to t->infinity ? One single corp

    As a European, I find it crazy that a municipality (or worse, an HOA), can order you to cut your lawn.

    I profited too without extra information: I bought 20$ worth of dogecoin some time ago. When I saw last week that it had risen, I had to search for my old backups, convert the wallet format, and transfer the coins.. Pure luck

    Per their datasheet, the SKS PN-14 produces 80-200 kW. Now compare this to a modern Vestas V164 8000kW turbine. The latter seems way simpler engineering-wise to me

    In my towns in France, it's actually the opposite: more cities are turning of the lights between 23 and 5 and I personally love it. It gives a sense of "city-sleeping" peacefulness
