There are a lot of people who praise ThinkPads online, and that seems to gesture into good will in general for Lenovo. Unfortunately a lot of their cheaper computers are just trash. Even in the ThinkPad line they have now introduced the A,

The speed limit is typically 130km/h, but depending on the country it may be pretty much ignored.

I wonder how well their next model would sell if it was limited (with no option or upgrade to unlock it) to a maximum of 100mph. I imagine most buyers aren't buying to race it around a track.

A lot of places in Spain have safe water, but it often tastes so chlorinated you don't want to. When I was living there earlier this year, even after showering in the morning it smelt like I'd been to a swimming pool. I guess it&#

Building technology (not tech-tech, just plain old building materials) is a lot more advanced and environmentally friendly in Europe too. Matt Risinger on YouTube has a video series from earlier this year where he was sponsored to visit Eur

What affect does the frequency drop have to home users? Is there protection in the substations near to homes that will cut off the power completely if the frequency goes out of range?

In a way that's what you want for the stereotypical "startup culture". Nobody in their fourties who has the life experience of being married with kids is going to work lots of overtime and put up with their boss acting like a

In my country there have been quite a few accidents like that. People here like to wear dark colours, and in-general take a lot of risks on the road (cars, pedestrians and cyclists). There are jay-walking laws, but most people don't pa

I don't think the problem is finding somewhere to put the heat, but to get it out in the first place. The article says the heat is currently vented into the street.

Oops I somehow read your comment as advocating for continued fossil fuel for electricity generation. Yes if the choice is between solar or nuclear, then yes nuclear is definately the better option. We are going for an air source heat pump.

They are less than 1 hour by train, which is about the same as to Heathrow from Oxford Circus. In terms of passenger numbers they are the 4th (STN) and 5th (LTN) busiest airports in the UK, and 22nd and 35th in Europe.

The CO2 in the production, transport and installation of solar panels leads to an equivalent CO2 output of 50g per kWh. This compares to 975g per kWh for coal. Solar still wins. https://www.mnn.com/green-tech/research-i

But what's the failure case here? The US corporations end up buying more mature technology that's already been tested and funded by other nations?

This is one of the key points of the PassivHaus standard: design your building to maximise sun uptake in the winter, but minimise it (with large over hangs) in the summer.

The loses from AC/DC conversion must be pretty low. A typical solar installation with battery backup (e.g. Powerwall 2) would convert from DC to AC in the solar inverter, AC to DC when charging the Powerwall, DC to AC when discharging

The point is to have more regular sun exposure, not stay locked up in an office for 6 months, then spend a week on a beach for 4 hours at a time. To end up looking like that you need to do some serious sunbathing or outdoor work without cov

Have there been any trials on creating a solar roof over highways? It seems like a much better option as the panels don't need to be reinforced, and they can be angled towards the sun to aid cleaning. We already know how to build stabl

I think OPs point is that if you have a disability and need more room than a standard seat gives, the airline will assist you and give you a different seat. As a tall person (I'm only 6ft though) I have no idea what the seat is going t

I'd like to see companies actually track how much CO2 goes into the production of their products. Imagine if everything you buy had the equivalent of an EnergyGuide sticker for CO2 emissions used in the production of that thing. It wou
