In 2007 and i would argue before that, live media encoding for streams was pretty much a solved problem but it was often very expensive, and out of reach of radio stations and the information wasn't readily accessible so you could pote

The problem with English/British food is that some/a lot of restaurants care very little about the food, and more about maximising profits. These restaurants tend to be in the most highly trafficked areas, and in tourist spots. So

I posted this above, but its because its much much cheaper and turkey can be farmed on a scale which is very difficult to do with duck or geese. Its not banned from our table, but it would get the same reception from my family as if I had h

Turkey is much much cheaper to raise in quantity than duck or goose. In my family it would be rare to use a turkey for an occasion, its just not interesting.

You might actually need two hubs, which is why the sync box doesn’t work very well. I don’t have the sync box but I noticed the hub struggling with automations on about 60 something lights. I now have two hue hubs, and a zigbee 3.0 controll

Well, you already skipped the better alternative. Lutron or crestron.

Dishwashers are not essential, but for a family it does make a difference. When you have guests, even more so.

Can do it with a physical switch, an automation or voice. I have all 3 enabled.

I don’t know where to begin… There is a lot of material on the internet that is relevant to answering that. What do you mean “how they let Apple do it”. Do you think Intel & AMD could stop them?

Its not a sports car. Besides, BMW M4 CSL, Jaguar XE project 8, BMW M3, Mercedes AMG 63 GT have faster lap times.

I lived on a mountainside in Norway. The amount of people that slipped and slid down on our roads was much higher than I could have imagined. That was people that lived there all their lives, let alone me trying to cycle.

Have you been in Norway? The weather can be harsh, the Norwegians are some of the best in dealing with it in the world, but covering large parts of Norway with public transport is difficult. I used to bike in Bergen, Norway in the winter an

And safety provided by having much stricter control and requirements on the whole house electrical system.

We can get 400v 3phase inverter welders here. Yes, we have it so we use it - for sure. The pool pump on 3 phases seems slightly more efficient when I compared them last time. The pool is also being fitted with a heat pump inverter, which do

Sure it’s 3 phases of 32 Amps. I can request more, but it’s not required.

The cost is insignificant. I have monitoring on all the phases on my house (in Sweden) and I can charge two electric cars, run the heating in winter, run the washer and drier and cook with two ovens a microwave and the induction hob at the

3 phases is cheaper than single line for delivering a houses power. You can get away with 3 smaller cables than the larger cables needed for 110V or 230V low voltage single phase at a particular amperage. The cost of termination of 3 phases

I have the feeling that in the past this wasn’t so unusual, particularly as there was less security patches and more airgapped systems that didn’t need rebooting. I remember being in airports, government offices, large corporate field offic

I grew up on a diary farm in the UK and spent large amounts of time outdoors and had access to a lot of milk. I was strongly allergic to milk (not just lactose). Was also allergic to other things.

Well I remember going around to friends houses and them having 8 bit consoles.

Not that I have ever enabled graphics or sound on my OpenBSD boxes - but I would say it’s probably not my first, second or third choice of OS for this. But my recording studio would probably bore you as I just run macOS for both graphics an

You clearly need to learn more about BSD. They have a lot to offer, including the community of people that maintain and work with them.

Except it really isn’t, distros usually refer to different distributions of Linux but not different types of operating system. I usually say to layman that they are different forks of unix from many years ago. OpenBSD and Linux have a lot o

48khz is better for video due to the way it can be divided more evenly with popular video frame rates - and besides it’s the standard for audio alongside video so you might as well use it for everything. So yes, for that reason alone you ne

I have bought from Foyles, Waterstones and Blackwells - all in the UK. What makes them special, well they are not Amazon. And Foyles used to be amazing, I haven't been for many years but it used to be the largest bookshop in the world
