It's more that the average Brit finds a way to be upset about everything any UK government does. Even just the test of the cell emergency alert system was met with fierce public criticism: what if people crash their car out of surprise

Good for you. At 18C my fingers get too cold to type properly and I keep missing keys.

Indeed, but a traditional MVHR would require ductwork which isn't common in the UK and often there isn't really any space to route it. I have been investigating easier to retrofit decentralised MVHR systems such as the Prana Recup

The challenge with opening the window isn't even the cost - which is substantial - from about £250/month to £400/month if I have my windows open even a little bit. The bigger challenge is with my windows open, my heating just

Well I can't speak for everyone in IT or every situation, but this does not match what I've experienced. IT is basically being a system integrator with a load of systems that don't want to integrate. Corporate don't acce

It's not really an easy answer as (1) it doesn't stop phishing attacks hitting work emails so isn't really relevant anyway, (2) most people, executives especially, don't want to cart multiple devices around, which is why

It’s a trade-off. Most people are never going to check the links no matter how much you ask them to, and even if they did they wouldn’t know what to check for. But the tool Microsoft give you to check a link before opening it is that awful

For what it's worth, I did one of these sorts of heart health blood panels, which showed everything as fine except for hs-CRP which was something like 8x what it should be. I took it to the doctor, doctor just shrugged it off and said

SPF 50 blocks 25% more UVB than SPF 40 does. Measuring it as percentages makes it non-linear in a way that most people find confusing. Imagine we had one sun cream that blocked 99.9% and another that blocked 99.5%. Sounds like nothing; only

I care enormously about protecting the environment and stopping climate change, but I'm not an environmentalist. Environmentalists usually care about the environment for its own sake, but my concern is our own survival. Similarly, I do

My experience is in the UK, but it doesn't surprise me that you got more attention in the Netherlands. From the experiences of my family, if you want anything more than a paracetamol, you practically need sign off from the Minister of

I'm a happy sertraline user, but your experience sounds like the exception. Most people are prescribed antidepressants by their GP/PCP after a short consultation. In my case, I went to the doctor, said I was having problems with p

Digital has never been light-to-pixel. At a minimum, you have demosaicing, dark frame subtraction, and some form of tone mapping just to produce anything you'd recognise as an photo. Then to produce a half-way acceptable image will inv

I'm finding GPT 5 (via Codex CLI on a pro subscription) is far better than Opus for my use cases. Much more than the small difference on swe-bench would suggest. However, the Codex CLI is so immature by comparison that I'm still m

I'm not sure I'd describe it as a plateau. It might be, but I'm not convinced. Improvements are definitely not as immediately obvious now, but how much of that is due to it being more difficult to accurately gauge intelligenc

The cloud AI providers have unacceptable variation in response time for things that need a predictable runtime. Even if they did offer a defined latency product, you’re relying on a lot of infrastructure between your application and their G

Not sure if it's just me or a consequence of the increase in AI scraping, but I'm now being asked to solve CAPTCHAs on almost every site. Sometimes for every page I load. I'm now solving them literally dozens of times a day.

I spent a decade and a bit away from Linux programming and have recently come back to it, and I'm absolutely blown away at how poor the documentation has become. Back in the day, one of the best things about Linux was actually how goo

I have found the same thing, but my experience (YMMV; not recommended that you take my advice!) is that a one week break almost entirely resets it. I now take a one week break every few months and have not noticed any decline in effects ove

It is still somewhat annoying for those of us with solid walls. I can't just add a new Thread device at the other side of my house as the walls attenuate the signal between it and the border router. Equally I can't start replacing

Some USB zigbee dongles can be flashed to be "multi-PAN", but my experience is it's currently buggy and I would let them bake that for a bit longer. Alternatively, both Sonoff and Home Assistant do a thread dongle for about $

The threat model of an organisation is almost the opposite of you as an individual. For you, you trust yourself the most, followed by your device, and the intermediate servers are a threat. For an organisation, the servers are the most trus

It is complicated, though. Not as complicated as quantum physics, but still far more complicated than it needs to be - especially if you care about multiple architectures and platforms. At one point I was making builds for X86, AMD64 and It
