I wondered if there was more to it than the article said; perhaps another device near the house relaying the keyless-entry signal to this Gameboy.

Seems like it's win-win; if coverage overlaps then the connections are bonded and you get 3* 4G lines, and if you only have coverage on some of the networks that's still a usable connection.

I wonder if there's any benefit to water hitting the leaves on the way down to the soil, i.e. cleaning the leaves. I know indoor plants require cleaning, but perhaps that's specifically because they're indoors.

That's more a job for the platform staff isn't it? Apart from making (several) announcements I've never seen a driver fix this.

I interpreted it as having the infrastructure to deliver ~7kW to the kerb, which is a hangover from the previous lighting systems.

This was talking on the phone for people who don't like talking on the phone. If that makes any sense.

I'm not sure if they're common where you are, but this is what Thermostatic Radiator Valves are used for. You can set an approximate room temperature, and the valve will open/close based on that. There are also smart ones now

Their programmes quite often suffer from both-sidesism. They'll have a senior scientist on debating a conspiracy-theory-believing anti-vaxxer, as if they're both on the same level.

If you're using both the degree and the bootcamp to achieve the same goal (e.g. a paying job), then surely being ready for employment sooner is preferable?

Not so much increasing performance, but what's required for that, e.g. the extra weight of the battery and motors to provide ~10km of electric-only range on the McLaren P1.

Some aren't even about greenwashing, they're actually about increasing performance; I'd say that's worse from an environmental point of view.

I don't think the idea is that someone uses the home test and then goes straight to the hospital for chemo. It's a new test at the beginning of the diagnosis-pipeline, rather than a replacement for the existing tests.

Oh I have, thanks. It's just that running my dev. environment plus Teams and all of the other "necessary" accoutrements ends up using a fair chunk of CPU.

If a laptop's performance is on a par with a desktop's, and the fan's aren't going crazy, I'd call that a big win! My 2018 MB Pro has the fans running most of the time, and even then sometimes throttles back the CPU

In the UK there is a case[1] (based around cricket, of course) which set the precedent that even if you "come to the nuisance", you can still force people to stop. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_v_Ja

They were delivering for Waitrose originally, although Waitrose now offer their own direct service and I believe Ocado switched to M&S. Most supermarkets are picking products "by hand" still, e.g. someone goes round the superm

The 2008 recession was considered a "once-in-a-lifetime" event. it's ironic that we're now experiencing a second.

Talking to my colleagues who are using Airpods (also non-Pro), the quality sounds terrible. Almost like they're talking over a phone line. This is paired to a ~2016 MB Pro though, so perhaps the older BT chipset makes a difference.

Totally, have a V-something cordless and the whole thing is just plastic. Even the hinges and stressed parts on the charging dock, I'm just waiting for it to snap.

Could #2 be covered by a car club / rental-by-the-hour kind of thing? ZipCar in the UK is about £8-10/hour with no monthly, so if you're not making the journey frequently that could be suitable? Obviously requires an availabl

LSAs are generally characterised by low stall speeds. Something like a Diamond DA-20 (arguably a competitor to the 152, used a lot for primary training) stalls at a slower speed in fact.
