I‘m a bit surprised that they care about the cost so much - the Dell laptops and the Apple Laptops come in at a price point of 2000 - 3000 USD and the Dell they specifically recommend for Linux use comes with Windows Pro preinstalled. The p

A while ago, a larger German bank double processed all withdrawals occurring around the end of the month - rent and associated costs for many people. I know a few folks that ended up stranded with no access to funds due to that.

Definitely. The GPL triggers on distributions, so as long as you don‘t distribute you‘re in the clear. Company-internal use doesn’t usually count as distribution.

A dog is an audible warning before the fact and may scare off thieves/robbers before an attempt. A gun is in the best of all cases helpful once the thief or robber has already decided to act.

Going swimming in 40 C° hot water is rather dangerous. That’s the maximum safe temperature for a hot tub that you sit in for 10-15 minutes. It’s above body temperature and will prevent your body from cooling. A comfortable temperature for s

The electric cars I have tried all started regenerative braking when you let go of the accelerator. As an additional problem for bikes: they are rear-wheel drive and the primary braking power comes from the front wheel for normal bikes (loa

by Xylakant 4y ago
Regenerative braking on bikes is a bit harder than it is on cars - you can’t easily combine regenerative braking with a freewheel - if the rider stops pedaling that‘s not a sufficiently good signal to start regenerative braking. With cars,

Definitely, you can hide a carrot that not looking great in frozen chunks, but that alone doesn’t mean that you’ll get worse quality. It will lead to less wastage, though. People are often obsessed with the look of food items, to the point
