Before Google, most of the search engines had flashy banners or popup windows for their adverts. At least that was obvious though... Going back a bit further, web directories charged more to be at the top. And before that the way you found

Actually there is, but it's not cheap, so it doesn't appeal to the average consumer. KNX and DALI are effectively the standard in Europe for large commercial buildings. Green building certifications are requiring lights that turn

Printing is in this department too. I have a friend who makes automotive decals, and he got a new (to him) large format Epson printer last year. The seller included a circa 2014 Mac Mini which has all the software installed and setup for th

I like to look at it the other way: if a single person can make so much on their own, how much inefficiency must there be in big companies? Even at the medium size VC backed startup (~120 people) I work for, the amount of inefficiency I see

I had a HTC Desire Z, and I believe there were a few more models with a full QWERTY keyboard after that. I found it pretty hard to type on (I had a Nokia E61 before which somehow seemed easier), yet more than once when on call I SSHed into

Are there any open source tools that do something like that (not nessaarily with design / UI)? I'm wondering how you would 'teach' the AI about your system. I guess it would need fine tuning as the prompt would be too bi

Wasn't lower latency one of the big selling points of 5G...?

Welcome to real life where you do not set your own budget. The reality is choosing someone who you feel can do a good enough job to make it worth your time, rather than just doing it yourself.

Herbal teas were common in Europe before camellia sinensis tea was imported, so I find it hard to believe the Latin origin is correct. In Lithuanian 'arbarta' colloquially refers to all types of hot water infused drinks, there isn

In most cases you don't even need the users real name. If I sign up for an account, but the invoice is going to the billing department of my company, why do you care what my real name is?

I'd imagine it's not that they literally freeze to death, but in cold humid places if you want to save money on heating you will turn down the thermostat and keep windows closed. Poor ventilation in those conditions leads to poor

I imagine cars are a much worse offender than AC in buildings due to the shorter lifetime and the harsher mechanical conditions. In my country during summer, at basically every large supermarket there are stands where you can have the AC re

We had AC installed in our bedroom precisely for this. Where I live it barely gets hot enough to warrant AC, but humidity in the summer is very high. Compared to a dehumdifier it's quieter, doesn't need emptying and has extra feat

AC isn't just for the heat, it also controls humidity. Yesterday where I live it was 27C and 80% humidity. In the day I was mowing the lawn and after 10 minutes sweat was dripping from my forehead (I'm not that unfit). Then I took

Air source heat pumps (in heating mode) use the heat generated by the electric compressor so the conversion loses there are negligible. Mechanical gearboxes also generate heat, so you'd need to capture that too.

The vapour absorption cycle is similar in that it requires no moving parts. It's commercially used in caravan fridges, where propone is burnt as a heat source.

Don't know why it says the Baltic's in unsafe. Most of the water there comes from deep underground wells. I'd rather have that than water washed with chlorine.

You can probably run it locally with llama.cpp using CPU only, but it will be slow. I have a couple year old laptop with a RTX 3060 and it runs pretty well split across the CPU and GPU.

My country effectively did this in 2021. They didn't ban gas, however new buildings cannot meet energy efficiency standards if they use gas for heating, meaning you need a heat pump. Induction already became the standard for cooking ~1

It can work the other way around too. Early in my career I was working for a company that provided value added services in the telecommunications space. We grew quite large, working with household name brands in Northern Europe. However eve

Where I live, most decks are made out of this material too. We have warm humid summers and cold dry winters, so after a few years a wooden deck will be all uneven. These on the other hand don't change at all. Cost wise, it's the s

It's the same reason why links are not a tags. The dashboard of my company is a React app, but it has proper routing so opening a new tab at mycompany.com/account goes to your account. At the end of last year the menu was redesign

I feel the opposite. I much prefer the self-service experience. Staff are miserable, they usually scan stuff faster than you can pack, and I have to wait in a large line for that. I'd much rather do it myself. Even with a large cart (f

I try to go that route, but for some items there isn't a good alternative. I have a Roborock vacuum which requires the app and an internet connection to use the smart features, but it can still be controlled by the physical buttons if

That really should have been at the start, as if you look at it from that point of view it doesn't sound bad at all. Governments should be trying to support technology startups, and handing out contracts with conditions like this seems

These are all gated behind a subscription for the Pegeout e2008, so they are not a "need".

When I was studying (late 00s) I worked at a large supermarket chain in the UK that had this. The system was surprisingly well designed. It was based on Windows NT (somehow hardened, as I never saw a checkout show a BSOD or fail to boot) an

Yes, the first generation Intel Macs had a 32bit CPU. I bought the original Intel MacBook in 2006, and the last OS update was in 2011 so that wasn't bad. By that time it was already pretty slow due to the limited CPU and memory. That w
