Sorry "fully" was the wrong word here: Standard European wall outlets (Type E & F) are 230V and 16A, so that gives you 3.7kW. At that rate, the Model 3 can charge at 22km/h [0]. So you could charge 20% - 80% (220km of ran

I suspect it's that people nowadays have less of a community and feel more alone. Even our way of consuming materialism has become more individualistic. I dislike religious organisations, but I'll admit they did do wonders to brin

That works great until there is some sort of supply chain - either you rely on someone else, or they rely on you. In that case having everyone working at the same time is probably more efficient.

This is how Power Nap works. Even though the lid is closed and your laptop is supposedly asleep (on battery or AC), the software can still wake it occasionally. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204032

My observation of Germans is that they have a strong sense of nationalism towards their own car brands, so I'm not surprised taxi drivers use a local brand rather than Prius like the rest of Europe. As others have said older Mercedes h

In my Eastern European country it's the same deal, basically everyone has their own washing machine (often washer-dryer in one unit). It's usually fitted in the kitchen or bathroom rather than a separate laundry room. Some buildin

European countries have a much easier time than the US in this regard due to 220V mains voltage. Even with a standard outlet you can fully recharge a Tesla overnight.

I don't think dumping is really the right word here. As it says in the article, importers are illegally accepting the waste and making a good chunk of money from it. The private companies who are disposing of waste from Western countri

With fractional reserve banking it is even better, as credit effectively creates money out of thin air. This increases the overall supply of money in an economy, so banks can make money from other sources when that money is spent (e.g. cred

Props to the engineers at BT/OpenReach for making the most of a pair of copper wires. Even at my parents place, built in the 80s, and a mile and a half from the local exchange/cabinet they can get 50mbit down with VDSL2. However I

LPG conversion requires a lot less changes though. The gearbox and braking remain exactly the same. You need to make very few changes to the motor. Then you just add a little more equipment (fuel tank, computer and control system) on top.

Most of this is already restricted under GDPR, or at least is not advisable given the potential fines that couple be imposed for a leak. Other parts of the GDPR which should help are blatantly ignored (e.g. privacy popups that are checked b

And this is the sort of thing GDPR is meant to prevent. Unless you explicitly allow it (and a popup checked by default doesn't count), Google cannot use that data for purposes other than providing you with positioning information.

This is what I don't really get. It seems like some people are under the impression that generating and parsing HTML is slow or takes a lot of resources. In almost all cases it's going to be faster and less resource intensive than
