It's safety, yes. To fail this test there can be any number of causes but for Tesla they specifically mention light, axle, and breaks as failure points. The 14.2% was for cars receiving their first Hauptuntersuchung (main inspection) d

Adding another source: TÜV Report 2025 (in German) In Germany you have to get your car checked every 24 months for its road worthiness (think general doctor checkup but for your car). If it fails, you are not allowed to use it until it&#x27

Not entirely regulation and planned obsolescence but because cost. Coding in the climate controls on the touch screen has a fixed cost that doesn't really increase with each car built. Adding multiple physical buttons, does. Even if ea

5%+ would likely put Europe ahead of the US in spending on military. Even 3%+ would be such a significant amount of noney that almost noone except the US could compete. That said, its a price we should pay instead of relying on the US as a

Yes! While writing my comment, this came to mind, but I couldn't clearly remember where it was from. Thank you for posting it.

I don't think they are lamenting the fact that these things have reduced in price but rather significantly in quality as well. There is something to be said about price reductions, but at some point the quality lowers to a point where

In the same vein, I recommend reading this post by Robin Sloan https://www.robinsloan.com/notes/home-cooked-app/

Yes, I'm aware. What AI/Proton provides isn't just a simple spellchecker though. It specifically recommends and alters wording to better suit the overall sentence structure. Essentially, it considers the context better than a

Proton has a nice feature for writing emails. They specifically allow you a grammar/spell check and also change tone (formal/informal) and length. Length one I have never used but the grammar spell check is a godsend that I use al

I think thats likely the worst outcome possible. The public school system needs reform not privatization. Privatization of any vital public infrastructure has to my knowledge never led to a better result. Whether is public transport, medica

Our project wasn't all that important in the grand scheme of things. Certainly not enough to justify 3 managers for it. I remember carefully asking my team manager why the structure was the way it was and her answer was to simply shrug

Again, that's generally fine and correct, but when you have 2 separate departments that do almost the identical job, it's time to question whether or not that 2nd department is needed. My argument wasn't that most management

I think as with everything, it depends on what end of the spectrum your company is at. There are a lot companies, Volkswagen to name a prominent example, that have over time built up massive management layers that don't ultimately serv

Its not. I have had honey installed on a separate chrome instance (mainly use FF). I was not aware that the extension pulled this, otherwise I would have never used it. There are some creators I follow, whose advice I somewhat trust and I h

Fair enough. However, first of all, it's still in beta. They’re likely using it to gather feedback on its performance. Also, there’s nothing on the site that says it will remain free. Considering Mozilla has introduced paid services li

+1 for GrapheneOS. I've dabbled in a lot of alternative roms over the years. There wasnt a single one that was as easy to install and use.

I think the concern OP has is why a lot of the updates are so large. I use signal desktop and the UI hasn't changed in years. It begs the question what those 100mb are and whether it's actually necessary.

IKEA bulbs use mostly Zigbee, can be paired directly with their remote so don't require any hub, and connect directly with any Home Assistant with a Zigbee dongle like Sonoff.

No, that's not how you could frame it. At no point in the article does the author suggest that more affordable housing with modern amenities is bad. He, and the people he quoted, clearly are critiquing the sameness of the styling and f

Both English and French are the official working languages of Cern. They should include more languages than just English, but French is not by default the more obvious choice.

If you are capable of reading German, I would highly recommend the book "Talking to Ignoramuses" (Mit Ignoranten Sprechen) by Peter Modler. [0] He proposes that people are generally split between 2 modes of communication and that

I agree. We've recently purchased a house with a sizeable garden. Our plan is to let it run itself for the most part. We did remove invasive or too aggressive plants though.

Doesn't iNaturalist provide an app called Seek that does exactly that? I remember using it in the past to scan plants and it would clarify them for you as best as it could.

I'd love to ditch slack, unfortunately it, or a competitor, is the standard comms software for all jobs I've ever had. I managed to somewhat successfully reduce the distraction by muting most channels and blocking black out times

That speaks more to the fact that they don't properly track work being done then. If I'm behind on my work for a week my manager will know because I have nothing to show as results.
