I try to keep my home office no higher than 24c/75F when I'm working. Last year I had to work in an office where it was routinely 27c/80F and above, and my productively and mood was definitely affected. As you say, above that

That sounds ridiculously ineffeicient. My post-Soviet city has district heating, and similar temperatures, but usually bottoms out at -35c. In each building there is a system which takes the district heat and uses it to heat the water of th

Rome has the same problems with Ciampino airport. It's exclusively used for budget airlines, and although it's closer to the city center there is no public transit link. You can either take the privately run air coach which takes

It worked fine on a 6" device on Firefox for Android for me, however the text was small, and when zooming it only shows the zoomed slides in the original viewpoint which doesn't change. I tested on an iPhone 5S which has a much sm

Thinkpads are in the same boat. I have a T470s, which at it's thickest point is 1.8cm when closed (it tapers down to 1.6cm) and weighs 1.3kg. The other day I upgraded the NVMe drive, which involved unscrewing 5 screws on the back cover

In the UK it's not illegal per se, but if you go by the letter of the law you could be convicted under the Computer Misuse Act for it. But at the same time you could be convicted for sending a HTTP GET request to a server you don'

And why do all monitors display a message, usually on a bright white background, saying they are going into power saving mode shortly when the connected device is turned off?

It's basically impossible to know. Even laws which should be really clear, such and if and when you need winter tires are not clear. At the end of March I drove across Europe from south of Spain, and had summer tyres on. The weather co

> No phone number should be a dealbreaker for banking. 99% of the time, you don’t want to talk to a banker. But that 1% of the time can make or break you for months or years. To be fair, even having a phone number may not help. I spent f

In my part of Northern Europe, in the winter the issue is keeping the inside humid enough. During winter when the air temperature is -10c or less there is basically no water in the air. We have a MHRV system, but it doesn't account for

At least in the UK, the highway code requires you to switch off your engine when you are stationary for a prolonged period of time. The fine is only £20 though, so I doubt it's really enforced.

It depends on the type of plastic. Materials such as ABS (which is what most plastic parts on a car are made of) are going to take a long time to break down in the sun. After 15 years in the sun it may look a bit faded, but structurally wil

You don't need consent if the data is being collected for a specific purpose. It's not clear cut, but IMHO cart abandonment would be acceptable. The user has entered their email on your cart, signifying their intention to make a p

This comment was dead. I vouched for it as the comment has substance and this is HN - please don't downvote just because you disagree. I used to work for a company that facilitated selling adult content on phones in the UK (why someone

The alternative is to flick the power switch on and off a bunch of times quickly which is what IKEA Tradfri bulbs do. That can easily be triggered by kids though. A reset button isn't going to be very helpful if the bulb is fitted in a

I wonder how different this would make life. Would you experience seasons, or would the temperature be fairly consistent all year around as it wouldn't be long enough for the atmosphere to cool down.

What exactly are retailers doing with this data, that they couldn't do before? If you go to a supermarket and pay by credit card, the supermarket is going to have a profile on what type of things you like to buy, even if you aren'

My city has also recently got them. Parking isn't so much of an issue (there aren't that many yet, and our sidewalks are quite big so there is a lot of space) it's just how people drive them. Mainly I'm just concerned ho

I don't have a problem with the theory of targeted ads, in fact as a consumer it is actually useful. If you start looking for a pair of boots, then see that a brand you like but was out of your budget has a sale on, so you buy those bo

I like my screen to be dim, and find that the white parts of an LCD are usually too bright, even when the brightness is turned right down. I expect an off-white or grey background on an OLED screen would be better, but they haven't mad

You don't need to get any certifications to be compliant, it's not like PCI where you need to be certified by a third party. This site has a simple checklist of what you need to do to be compliant: https://gdprchecklist

I did this when I was at high school with a friend. Basically the place had a shared Windows file system, and the only thing that prevented everyone from viewing it was that it was hidden in the UI. On the drive was lots of data, including

Brit living in Vilnius. It's true you don't get many people with dark skin here, but people are friendly and I don't think they would behave that way. They may stop and stare, but it's more out of interest. For context,

If you are an adtech company who's primary business was selling personal information of users, then yes, of course GDPR will have had a big impact. Google has put a lot of effort into being GDPR compliant, so I'd assume a lot of b

It sounds like the wrong type of business for receiving VC investment. Expos/conferences can make good money, but I expect it's a few magnitudes less than what an investor would want as a return. I wonder what the pitch deck looke

I have a E5-2670 (V1) based system and the idle power draw is around 80W. I doubt a modern system with the same cores and threads (say an i9-9900k) is going to draw that much less while idle. Even if it uses half the power, that equates to

As the article says, the fire department used a new approach which was to submerge the car in a pool of water and leave it over night. I'm surprised this didn't cause more issues (I guess the battery wasn't actually damaged o
