I ended up with a checkbox plus a mandatory input field requesting a reason for one irreversible action in a system I worked on. Just adding a checkbox and later a popup with an additional warning wasn't enough. An undo function is obv

I also have three Chromecasts and occasionally 7-8 mobile devices that are connected to them in multi-AP network. I have mostly Sony devices and I think they have a rather aggressive powersave profile. The last 3-6 month or so, the mobile d

What the existing screen scraper companies have done, is to make sure the psd2 directive will allow screen scraping as a fallback method if they are not satisfied with the bank API:s. That's because the directive is actually a competi

Public keys solve the key management problem. If you have just one or two tiers it's not a problem. If you have thousands, you end up spending a lot of time on key distribution if you need individually distributed secret keys.

It's winter, the bees were hibernating. They won't be able to fly for more than a second or two in the cold if they were warm enough to get going.

I can get all my data from my power company. There is a webpage with realtime statistics and supposedly there's an API that I never tried.

An interesting real-life example of failed economical incitements is a case here a kindergarten started to charge an extra cost for "late pickups", ie later than the what the contract stipulated. The end result was that "lat

I once had a Peugeot with "sport leather seats", or something - it was a rather nice coarse woven cloth in some synthetic material in the centre, and nice leather everywhere else. Awesome. In my current car, I really wanted the ad

Radioactive material messes up certain types of fire detectors, and more advanced detectors detects also when they go outside their working parameters. A plausible explanation would be that the garbage made some fire detectors in a power pl

Long term,there is no alternative but solar, either direct or indirect. (But but not too indirect such as oil...) The energy budget is set. It's the spending that needs to be controlled.

I blamed Google cloud print for a while, but the printer's own Android driver also prints in 50 dpi or something, so it might be Android's fault. Or possibly the PDF tool. I can't see why someone thinks it's a good idea

It's better that people that are bothered by white backgrounds dial down the background light on the monitor. Saves energy too!

A number of the worlds largest ferries - 50% longer than USS McCain - are routinely navigating in very restricted and crowded waters in the archipelagos of Stockholm and Helsinki with a clearing under the keel of just a few meters. They see

The industrial forests of Sweden is nothing like a 'natural' state, and I don't think we even know what a natural state would look like since people have been around since the ice age. But the case in point was that the count

Just speculating wildly and looking at Sweden, for example meadows have more or less disappeared since 30-40 years. I mean flowering meadows, not pastures for grazing. The meadows have been turned into forests and to a lesser extent pasture

No, the tariffs should be pointed in the other direction. It is however probably not efficient for a smaller economical power to set up tariffs like that. But I think the problem is more related to China, India and other upcoming "tige

Than HSLuv. HSLuv seems to generate brown/gray intermediate colours when interpolating. CIELAB interpolates through clearer hues. In my opinion that looks nicer on charts such as heat maps, etc, but it might not be a good choice as a g
