This is why 'low sugar' and 'low fat' foods aren't really any better for you. They usually make up for the reduction by increasing the other thing.

Actually it's the opposite. I worked for an NGO half a decade ago, and they wanted to add 2FA authentication to their login system used by ~400 staff. I created a quick demo using Google Authenticator in less than a week. However the d

Every vehicle I've ever driven since I learnt to drive 20 years ago has had an electronic throttle body, a digital accelerator and ABS. Welcome to 2024. I did learn to drive manual, but I'd never buy another car like that. Maybe i

If the datacenter is literally right nice to the power station, it seems that capacity of the power grid isn't going to be an issue?

Here in Lithuania we had one day below -20c this winter. Usually we have at least one or two weeks like that. Now the snow has melted and it's spring, feels around 6 weeks too early.

There's a McDonalds near me, where if you go at 2pm on Saturdays, you are going to be waiting in the drive-thru queue for around half an hour. I'd imagine if they put the prices up by $1 most people would not care. Of course they

Is using a power station as a UPS feasible? One of the issues I've read is that most don't have AC pass through, so it's always charging and discharging the battery. However that seems a bit odd (with my limited electronics k

Maybe they can see what is happening in the UK? They are planning to switch off the analogue part of copper phone lines next year, and people who still want a "phone line" (most people just use mobile phones) will be switched to V

If you want something more aligned with the US, the UK is a good choice. You can set up everything online for around £20 and for small businesses you don't technically need an accountant to file yearly accounts. They are friendly to co

Today I was asking ChatGPT some questions and it gave me back an oddly specific statistic about website performance. I figured it was a hallucination, but I was interested to see if it was real so tried to find a source. First I searched Go

I think part of the problem is the technology hasn't changed in the last 20 years. During college I worked at a large UK retail store when they had the self checkouts installed, and other than a slightly nicer design, today it is effec

I drove across Europe a few months ago with a bike on my roof, and I was consuming around 10% more fuel. I'd say it's likely your theory is correct.

This honestly sounds like a failure from Tesla just making stuff work in non-standard ways. Where I am in Europe there are a few car sharing apps that have electric cars, and all that I've rented (VW, Peugeot, Nissan, Hyundai) just wor

You mean when the inside air pressure is low enough. Aircraft doors fit like a plug, held in by air pressure in the cabin. If you look when they are opened they all move inward first. This is why they can't be opened mid-flight. At the
