Booking.com is indeed nice, however, the cut they take is quite substantial (in my country it is 18% including taxes) and I believe there is a lot of room for competition. I see bookings from Airbnb being on the rise. What Airbnb charges me

This is terrible. I too have this phone and it still works perfectly, no repairs have been required. Are we now supposed to buy a new phone every year? Every two years? This is getting absurd. Also, Windows at least tells you that support f

Here are some more items I can think of: speakers, earphones, magnetic switches (eg. laptops), relays, sensors, CD/DVD ROM, maglev.

Woah it uses 250MB of space when installed, this really surprised me, even for a js app. I like the terminal though.

Is there a similar application for Windows? I was able to google NetLimiter, has anyone used it and can share how it compares?

I wouldn't say you can really compare the two. Sublime Text is different in many ways, not my cup of tea even if it were free. I was using Brackets before and Monaco in the browser and when I saw the VSCode preview I knew that was what

Something should be said about repairability. Seems like manufacturers are purposely trying to make appliances unrepairable. For example recently a temperature sensor (cost USD 1$) failed in my fridge-freezer in the freezer compartment. Ele

Another fun thing I have heard multiple times is that ordering electronics from China to "Ljubljana, Slovakia" somehow makes it from China to Slovakia and then Slovenia without going through customs in any of those two countries.

> whereas in Slovenia you can get them for less than $40 (£31). That's interesting as there is actually no IKEA store in Slovenia yet and I am not aware of any other store stocking IKEA furniture here...

Sorry but I completely disagree with this view. It's not about what options they have. They are already here and they do not want to not exist nor be treated badly, they want to live a happy life. It's us who deny them this becaus

I don't know about our neighbors but us Slovenes consider ourselves as Central European. Even Wikipedia says so https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Europe

The Objet software tells you how much material will be used, then just multiply with material price.

Wow, that is one expensive case. The cost of the material to print that on default settings on that printer is 150 EUR.

If my parents bought me a present after I had received a bad mark in school when I was a teenager my twisted mind would have interpreted that as a catastrophe, "my god, they really do think I have failed and now they are even trying to

I use VS Code on an x220 every day. If an old machine is the only thing keeping you stuck with Sublime you should invest in a new machine. Hardware is cheap compared to productivity gains.

Would be really interesting to read up on some of the bottlenecks they had identified and how they optimized them away. I know at some point they had to turn off the "location where a pokemon was caught" map and the radar to keep

It depends how expensive water is for you. I would not trust the ratings at all though. Funny story about new "more efficient" machines... a neighbor bought a new BEKO machine (before that she had a CANDY I think). She says the ne

I inherited a 35 years old washing machine, it is used about once a week. Every 10 years the bearing needs replacing and I had to replace the water pump one time. Still going strong... That's about 20€ in spare parts every 10 years. Th

I also have the C301dn and am very satisfied with it compared to previous printers (inkjets). Works when you need it even after months of non-usage and toner replacements are cheap off ebay. The only thing that worries me is the drum unit &
