Besides going with the common low-budget brands, like Sceptre, you might find some dumb commercial TVs. However, commercial TVs leave a lot to be desired. They generally put the focus on other aspect, like higher brightness, instead of colo

Depends on the plane, but it seems that most aircraft can sustain about the same force as the people flying them. I'm sure there are safety margins but an F-16 can sustain about 9 G's [0]. A trained fighter pilot with an anti-G su

I have no doubt that farming can be an incredibly taxing job, but taking Clarkson, notorious for making stupid decisions, as an example of farming isn't exactly accurate. He made many things harder and more expensive than they had to b

Sure, except Tesla has a history of performing just as janky repairs on their cars themselves. Its even stated in the article.[0] Another question to consider is why the repair is 16k. Does is actually cost Tesla that much or do they just q

Yes, but you are not the average user. Most people I know, mostly non-technical users including people playing computer games, simply dont care. Some have MS or Apple accounts, some dont. They simply want to use their devices with as little

Some devices, like the Surface Go, come with Windows S mode by default. To disable S mode you need a Microsoft account as you need to access the store to do so. I think there are some workarounds for this, but the default way is the store.

I have often visited Morocco and lived in Malaysia for some time. Sort of, yes. During noon and afternoon most shops, restaurants, and other places were closed. Certain essential things were open. There was also a divide between rural vs ur

Apple's App Store has plenty of scummy apps. A yearly 100 fee isn't going to stop that from happening. https://9to5mac.com/2021/02/11/app-store-scam-apps-how-to-sp...

In Germany, yes.[0] Aside from that, in Germany it's a common practice to get an Arbeitszeugniss. It's essentially a transcript from your employer stating how you performed while on the job. By law it's has to be formulated t

The HP Spectre x360 line has had a physical kill switch for the camera for the last 3 generations. It's a slider on the right side of the laptop. The new gen ones also come with a system wide mute button although I believe that is soft

After reading your comment I realized that I have the exact same experience. I use Java and JS professionally and it's often a pain to find good information for specific issues. As a side interest, I've been using rust for several

To a certain extend, absolutely. Much of the richer EU states cause and have caused quite a bit of pollution and without a serious shift in consumption, I don't believe we can achieve our goals. However, industry is without a doubt a m

I think your focus is a bit too narrow. For a mid/senior role, regardless if its in tech, your advice is probably good. You have experience, you know what kind of work you like and dont like and you have more knowledge of your industry
