Many UK homes have electric heating or use supplemental electric heaters during winter, so the consumption of summer vs winter changes a lot. This is why there has been a big push for offshore wind in the UK, it's an island that has st

I'm in Northern Europe (54N) and when I had solar installed 3 years ago I calculated it would be around 7 years, without incentives and without a battery. The price has dropped a lot since then, so it would be under 5 years now.

Or if you prefer leagues, at that speed it would still take 9 minutes to reach the depth in Jules Verne's book.

"AI didn’t replace me, AI accelerated me or improved me with feedback about my work" This really sums up how I feel about AI at the moment. It's like having a partner who has broad knowledge about anything that you can ask an

It's interesting because there are medicines that can block DHT or reduce it's effectiveness, but they have other negative side-effects. It's almost like if you have this gene and are a healthy man, you should loose your hair

There was a lawsuit a few years ago by Walmart about panels installed by SolarCity in the early 10s. During this time the company was facing financial issues (their model was leasing panels), so did a lot of cost cutting. The main causes of

Reading the website of the guy who sells the amps, it's clear he has some ego issues: https://www.audiodesign.co.uk/index.html I'm guessing he expected to see Mark fail to repair it, and instead talk about how ama

The highly processed stuff found in supermarkets definately should be. If you haven't ever tried real honey, go find some and thank me later.

Is this the same for large format printers? Because they even have region locking. A friend bought his Epson used from Germany for around €7500. During COVID times he needed more ink, but his supplier said it would be a month or two due to

Part of the issue is that if you go to a hardware store this is what it will be. A couple of years ago I looked through all the bulbs at my hardware store, they had Chinese brands and name brands like Philips and Osram. None of the bulbs ha

I bought a Mi Smart Kettle Pro and the "smart" features are really pointless. You can change a couple of settings, which they could have just made button presses on the device. I thought you'd be able to schedule it to boil,

The fact that geolocking also affects "downloads" really sucks. On our last holiday I prepared a tablet with downloaded content from Netflix and Disney for my 5 year old. But when we got there we couldn't play it, as it was g

A lot of the "AI automation" videos you see on YouTube are just people creating Zapier or Make workflows connecting different services. Most of it was possible 10 or more years ago, using APIs and a few hundred lines of code. The

Right, and given the US-UK military relationship, it seems likely that it could have been moved with the UK having full knowledge - but they just didn't want to record or admit it.

In cold climates in Europe, diesel pre-heaters (such as Webasto) are pretty common. Compared to petrol, diesel cars have a harder time starting at low temperatures, and take a long time to warm up. Where I live (-25c during winter) houses t

If you have some sort of home server, I'd recommend hosting vaultwarden (an open-source implementation of the BitWarden server). It works fine with the official apps. Their enterprise model requires a standard API, so it's not goi

If you buy a model that's one or two years old, they aren't actually that much. E.g. My company paid €700 for a 55" Samsung digital signage display. I'm not sure about using it as a TV (no speakers, matte display), but a
