My part of London has an interesting solution to this problem - the government will install new "normal" streetlights unless the residents of the street want to pay for ornate Victorian street lights. The street can vote and pay f

There's a note on the README about false positives from virus scanners on Windows, so maybe that is all it is. But I can't speak to it beyond that. I've only used the Mac OS version.

(2022) - I don't think there is anything new here since this was announced two years ago. FWIW, OpenFPGA on the Analogue Pocket works pretty well. Many of the most popular MiSTer cores were ported over and there are some nice desktop t

Average home electricity prices are 0.29/kwh in London. The street lamp charging costs 0.24/kwh, so actually slightly cheaper for most people than charging at home. By comparison, a Telsa Supercharger will run about 0.65/kwh

In London, many neighborhoods have added charging sockets to the existing streetlight posts. I park on the street and can charge overnight easily and cheaply just by parking on the road and plugging in. I'm not saying this will work pe

The Eurostar is great and I've taken it quite a few times. But realistically, it is way too expensive right now to seriously compete with flying for most people. It is typically 2x-3x as expensive as flying from Heathrow/Gatwick t

Not to pick on the original post, but one of my all-time biggest data pet peeves is map diagrams that aren't normalized by population/some kind of denominator. They all end up as slightly janky population maps with weird anomalies
