Virtually all roofs in the Netherlands aren't concrete but wood frames with ceramic tiles. The PV is just attached to the wooden frame, not the shingles or tiles. Shingles have a shelf life of ~25 years. Most people buy old homes. And

I am already subscribed to 2 papers in my own country at ~$50 total since one comes in print once a week. Just a matter of priorities.

They are the only reliable way for me to read proper news in Economist / FT / WSJ / WashingtonPost etc... Well except paying $300 a month I guess.

How is it enforced? IP or DNS?

You can 'copy' it by registering a new one to the service.

Yes, it’s like a key. :) Though realistically I use a passkey for services I care about and a password manager for the rest.

I just bought a passkey... It's a USB device, completely separate from any big conglomerates.

The Chinese were directed to it from their government. We have no such government with a mandate to do that.

No they gradually turn on from 0% to 60% to simulate sunrise. Accompanied by the shutters slowly opening, if you want. Then after 20 min an actual alarm goes off, just in case.

Most people think it's cool but use it once. The regular-ceiling-lights-as-alarm service gets positive feedback. Weird how smarthome companies never market that, seems easy win.

My smarthome has regular switches and wifi. There's no reason to not do both. Also a quick NFC sticker in each room taking you to a small HTML site containing settings (temp, ventilation, lights, shutters, setting a alarm by the lights

That's... why? I can understand slow games like EuroTruck or Farming Sim. But what's the point of this?

Just release some imported European birds. What could go wrong?

I had previously used seaweedfs, which has more moving parts but seems more feature-rich. It was overkill for a homelab, so I went to garage. Garage is very stable, but the metadata engine / file MUST live on NVMe. Otherwise it gets sl

If this was a protest it would be clear who did it. The farmers' have no incentive to mess with infrastructure without being visible for their cause.

Isn't it still hundreds of kilometers from the mainland? The straight of Gibraltar is 10km and barely any Europeans have anything more than superficial knowledge about North-African cultures.

Unironically, yes. Easy to connect an AI to any device that supports (adapted) USB input. Don't even need the HDMI or video the AI will prefer serial console.

No.

You don't come back, you slide back to normal country status while 2 generations of people pretend you're still an empire until you really can't anymore. Most European countries know this feeling. :)

>I don't think it would be anthropomorphizing or inaccurate to say that only the lawnmower in scenario B regarded what it's doing as stealing, What are you talking about of course scenario A is theft. Full on theft?

The US President routinely announces policy decisions on social media… You’d lose a lot of money always waiting for news through officials channels. Who knows how slow Yemini military channels are. You’d bet your life on it?

I have the same issue, sometimes. I initially thought it was a trick, that using Chinese chars is somehow more info dense and it saves tokens to 'think' in Chinese. But later on it became more erratic. I still wonder if token redu

I agree but it's clear why you could argue it should be elect from a legal standpoint.

The EU heavily regulates this specifically in the, here infamous, "AI regulations" . Though GDPR would also ban this probably.
