As I understand New York state requires car inspections every 12 months. Do they not fail that due to unreadable license plates? Where I am in Europe if you even have a screw in a place that could potentially confuse a camera it will fail t

During college in the mid 2000s I discovered that the network share with all corporate data was accessible (read only) to everyone. The only way it was not immediately obvious was because only sub folders were assigned a drive letter, and t

I don't know about CNC, but where I live in Europe there are plenty of companies that will cut and laminate wood to your specifications. I'd imagine this is what a lot of kitchen builders use for doors etc rather than doing it the

If you are doing that, then why are you even starting with IKEA furniture? My local home store sells various sizes of laminated furniture panels that you can use to assemble bookcases like LEGO. No cutting required.

To whom exactly? A handful of people wearing tin-foil hats? The rest of the world is going to be happy they can pay $9.99 a month to be able to remotely turn on the AC in their car.

I'm in the Baltics and Allegro is a good option where available, but I'd really like them to expand as not all items can be shipped here. I don't really understand the logic of what can and cannot as I've bought small it

I remember something like this happening nearly a decade ago with an iPhone 5S. I was at a large mall I visited often and saw I was connected to a WiFi network I hadn't used before. The mall had WiFi but there was a portal which requir

This is probably why there is a lack of construction then. In my city (small European capital) most new properties are marketed as investments - with the idea you buy and after a few years sell for more than you paid or rent it covering the

I'd say it's probably not a priority for them right now. Of course it would save them some money if they could run their models on cheaper hardware, but they've raised $11B so I don't think that's much of a concern

I'm not sure if this is the norm in Europe, the only chain store I know that sells high CRI (>90) bulbs is IKEA. If I go to my local home store or supermarket, they are all junk Chinese bulbs that I doubt are really even 80 CRI. CRI

I guess one reason they did this was because there would be a limited number of phrases and it would get repetitive quickly. LLMs could work around that today.

I live in Northern Europe where houses are built like this, and a 160m2 (1600sqft) house is typically fitted with a 8kW-12kW heat pump (heat output, so input electricity is 3x less) - which is used for hot water too. That may sound low, but
