I did find the criticism of the Reykjavík lift a bit obnoxious. It only takes a moment of research to find out that K is for kjallara. The horizontal buttons might actually be useful for someone who struggles to reach to the top of the pane

How useful is this feature for car drivers, really? In the EU, all cars sold since 2018 are fitted with an e-call system that automatically calls 112 when the airbags are deployed.

Another Surface Laptop 4 owner, very happy with USB-C charging/docking, and I use Arch as my daily OS. Just be aware, there's currently no touchscreen support for this model: https://github.com/linux-surface/l

This is exactly what Nokia were working on; the N9 ran Meego, a Linux-based OS Nokia had been developing for years. There had been a string of "internet tablets" (eg N800, N810) and phones (N900) running Maemo, a precursor to Meeg

I bought an N9 and had a very similar experience, and still look back on it warmly. It was an absolute joy to use, and I think the sleekest and most pleasant UX I've ever used. Elop really robbed Nokia of what could have been an incred

That's categorically untrue. Diesel-electric trains are not uncommon, but there are many, many trains driven directly mechanically or hydraulically by the diesel engines. Nearly rode on one these just yesterday: https://en.m

I really like it, as a fun reminder not to take social media all too seriously. Plus a 'toot' is definitely a sound you can imagine an elephant making.

They spent £1bn on Horizon, this isn't a case of not spending enough money. You might be onto something re:business fit - the system was designed to process benefits payments and, when the Post Office lost this work, was repurposed int

This is dead easy to do in Home Assistant if you use a jinja-based template as the automation trigger. Any template that will evaluate to true will trigger the automation. Templates are re-evaluated every time the state of the object chang

This really is wonderful, pleasant and incredibly easy to use. A lot of thought must have gone into making the process as streamlined and secure as possible - well done! The background animation was a fun touch, but gave me a little bit of

I get the impression they're blocking requests from outside the US, yes. I get the same error message in the UK, but can access the site fine through a VPN to the US.

This is completely meaningless. PII as a term from US legislation and has nothing to do with GDPR.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I used Panorama so intensively and thought it was one of Fx's killer features. I'd given up hoping there would be a suitable replacement - until now.
