Another option is to control a power-hungry NAS with a PiKVM device. It can be a cheap Pi Nano device for example. Got the idea from this youtuber[1], he has some nice ideas on setting up a home server. [1] https://www.youtube.co

In Germany, private health insurance is the norm above a certain salary level (it's not actually mandatory but when you read about it online, makes it seem so). There is a hybrid private-public insurance option below that level. It&#x2

No country has pushed for paying people to have children... er what? This is simply false. Plenty of countries have monthly child benefit payments, just a few examples I know of [1], [2] [3] [4]. You can easily google "child benefits [

I wonder when rich countries (excluding Japan due to their culture) will start to agressively complete with each other for middle or high skilled foreign labour to plug vital gaps. Offering not only green cards or EU blue cards, but eventua

Ding, ding, ding! Cover your ass, ticking off items as launched are other areas that lead to speed over quality every time. The OP post reads as very naive, without experience in the real world corporate politics. No one really gives a shit

You're welcome! It's amazing what creative designs are dreamt up prior to having AC as a crutch, including examples much older than that. For example, water pools in the centre of Roman courtyards[1], which lowered the temperatel

If Valve decides to make a standard ‘game console’ - miniature gaming PC with a PlayStation-like form factor, standard hardware for game devs to target, SteamOS - then add gaming consoles to that list. There was an interview recently with s
