Under the hood it's webOS, but obviously a custom UI for a TV. I have a 2017 LG with it and it works rather well, no issues with 4K HDR on Netflix and YouTube, and other than booting, it reacts instantly as a TV should. It's a sha

After Brexit I can only see practices like this increasing in the UK. A lot of the farm work is done by immigrants, because natives don't want to do the work. People aren't going to pay more for food, so the wages can't go up

Voting with your wallet is a good start. In the EU there are strict requirements on what can be labeled ecological, including the use of the EU ecolabel. I believe the US has similar labelling. If you local supermarket doesn't have a s

Have you ever had the DPF replaced? On most diesels they get so clogged up after around 150,000km so that the engine can't work efficiently anymore (and it can actually break the engine if it gets clogged enough). You can pay to have i

The Queen example sounds pretty bad to me, but the later examples sound like the music is in the room with me. I don't really like how the music seems to be spinning around me though, I wonder if that's needed to get the effect.

When Apple first removed the headphone jack I was a big opponent of what they had done. It didn't affect me personally though, as I had an old laptop and phone both with headphone jacks and no plans to upgrade. Still I was quite vocal

This specific configuration is for a commuter train, but similar trains (which can be coupled to other sets) are used on long distance routes in the UK. As I said, the UK isn't really high speed compared to Europe. Other than the Euros

Most comparison sites will show you these routes, for example Kiwi lets me search indirect flights from where I am in a remote part of Spain to where I live the other side of Europe. There's no direct routes, but it gives me the option

I found the coil burners to work pretty well for mosquitos, although I have concerns about how healthy they are. I guess if I lived somewhere like this I'd just get used to it - although mosquitos in Europe seem to be getting stronger

For US readers, diesel cars are around 30% more economical than petrol cars, and most European countries charge less tax on diesel, meaning it is 5-20% cheaper at the pump (diesel costs more to make than petrol, but in Europe taxes make up
