What you are talking about is OpenID Connect, not OAuth. It does use OAuth 2.0 under the hood, but they are two separate protocols. OAuth is an authorization protocol. It can be used (for example) to give Facebook access to your Flickr phot

Above a certain income level, being fined 1.5 months of your income is mearly a blip on the radar. Plus most of the super rich actually have quite a small personal income, their wealth is from ownership of companies. There's a high cha

I'll add that modern heat pumps can work effectively in heat pump mode (around 4kW of heat out for every 1kW of electricity in) down to around -25c. Below that they will automatically switch to resistive heating (same as baseboard heat

How would things be if you had a home more suitable for working at home? I currently live in a 1br apartment, with a 15 month old and my wife, and yes it is hard when I work from home. Fortunately in my country the pandemic has been handled

In my city people seem to be opposed to having lights on their bikes, or they just have a rear light. Lights are not just about making you visible, but making you too obvious for a car to miss. Ideally you want a bright blinking light (depe

As your neighbour (Lithuania), I'd also like to point out your air pollution affects us a lot. Our air quality is a lot worse on days when there is a south west wind blowing. Now of course not all of that is from burning coal for elect

While we are on the topic of CDNs I'd like to remind everyone: S3 is not a CDN, and you should not be serving assets from it directly S3 is convenient, but assets are only served from a single region, and sometimes traffic from other g

It's not just Dell. I have an old iPad Pro I use for video calls (Zoom maxes my CPU on Linux) and when it's sitting in the case, the camera is either to the left or the right of where I am looking...

To be fair, electronics used to be boring too. When I was growing up I had a Packard Bell PC with a 13" CRT (which weighed something like 20kg), and a boxy Epson printer. All three had a case in the standard 90s white/cream with g

If you aren't using powertools [I only saw a picture of two hand saws], woodworking makes very little noise. The loudest part of OPs project was probably vacuuming once they finished.

As ingredients don't list the bakers percentage of sugar, what does that mean on the nutrition label? Most of the 'bread' in my supermarket lists "carbohydrates of which sugars" as 2g to 5g per 100g.

I think you've just been unlucky. I was born and raised in the UK and have never seen such 'pump' systems, except where the toilet is in a basement and a pump is required to move the water up to the sewage line. The in-wall c

How do you force WebOS to default to HDMI? I replaced my parents TV with a LG LED last year, and it defaults to showing "No signal found" when turned on, then you have to switch to HDMI.

That's true, but diesel engines are only really less polluting in terms of CO2 due to using a lower amount of fuel consumed. If your goal is to reduce that, then as you say biofuels are the right answer. However any mass adoption to bi

In Europe there are a good number of EVs you can buy today for around the €35k mark. Most countries are offering between €5k and €10k of incentives on top of that, so if you compare a similar sized ICE car the prices are not that much diffe
