The UK is not part of Europe. ;-) But yeah, if you've got the money to take care of yourself, you'll have to pay it. My grandparents had a low-enough income that the care takers (twice a day) were free for them.

There is intensive care in Germany but it's mostly done in clinics. Although it seems that sometimes it seems like that can be done at home, too.

Another day, another horror story about the American health & care system. I'm just speechless about all of that at this point and very glad the I live in Europe, where we have things like these figured out. (edit: yeeeeaaaaaah, no

I just had a quick glance at the PWM documentation but I don't fully grasp it anyway: I select one of the 16 internal PWM controllers, set it's clock/frequency and then bind an output pin to that. I thought that fading a LED

Didn't really get the hang of it to phrase it that way. Everybody who's using tools like Photoshop professionally has been "shaped" to feel well in the Adobe ecosystem. I doubt that's good but that's how it is.

ESP32s are _sick_! I've only been building things with Arduino Uno/Nano/Mega (clones) so far and they are kind of limited. Those ESP32 I've now got seem to have _everything_ onboard: lots of IO pins, hardware PWM (althou

I'm running Nextcloud on a shared webhosting and have mounted a Hetzner storage box as external storage into it. That comes down to around 7 €/month for hosting costs, which I find fair. I'm using the Nextcloud Android client

You know where this leads to? Unrepairable devices. Afaik you can not change a BMW headlight yourself, because it has a little chip inside to identify the part. If your car electronics does not find the headlight serial number it's loo

As the other comment said, it's more likely that they get burned. I think it happened that due to waste reduction, "normal" garbage is sometimes not enough to keep the furnaces running, so they take recyclable material from t

Doesn't make any sense. A self-built printer is using the same ABS/PLA like a one I bought.

Headline: > Commercial 3D printers emit [...] Next paragraph: > [...] emitted from consumer-grade 3D printers Now what? Commercial or Consumer devices? Sorry, can't take this really serious if there's a mistake like this dir

At this point neither the "investors" nor the people builing those systems can claim plausible deniability. Nothing good has ever come out of crypto/blockchain, it's all just scams left an right.

All the numbers also didn't age well if you look at the stock prices since the last year.

Pretty much a spammy article to create some SEO relevant content for a company blog. Not much in there.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, I can just nod to everything you say. I remember that as a kid (25-20 years ago) there were winters where school busses would just not show up, because it was too cold and public service could not c

Great! So, let's invest 2500+ Euro in a new MBP so the battery on that one can more easily be replaced in two years from now. That's a win! /s

Do we really need this? I find all the examples harder to read and understand than combining classes/elements.

Wow, that's sure another level of tech with the ground heater. Not sure if you can DIY that thing... Sounds great with your energy prices. At that rates, I'd go for electric heating, too. :-D

Wow, I really thought desalination would be something like factor 10 more energy expensive. Regarding your greenhouse: Does it sit flat on the earth? I'm thinking about lowering the greenhouse at my parents house somewhat into the eart
