I must be weird, but I like the name. It's a palindrome and I dig their symmetrical logo. And of course, it is clever marketing. Even here we are talking about it.

Sure, it's possible to make the battery removable, but why would they do that? It was the manufacturers (e.g. Apple) who decided to make the battery non-removeable in the first place, as it allows for a more compact design and more rev

It's their first iteration and I applaud their effort. It takes at least a year to develop something like this and the sales quantities will be lower compared to the big brands, so the price is understandable. You seem to belong to gro

I have tried all but pdn is the best software for quick editing. In the time it takes for Krita or GIMP to launch, I'm already halfway in pdn. I really miss it when using Linux.

Ageeed, and the RFC4180 you are referring to also specifies how to escape newlines. CSV is a simple storage format for data. Its simplicity, readability and portability makes it popular. I think that any attempt to improve it will be a fail

You can still use RAD Studio today. Although it's expensive and it's primarily used to maintain old software these days. Lazarus is the best IDE for Pascal, being completely free, open source and cross platform.

Many European countries already banned it in the '90s. That was decades ago and the EU is currently discussing making it obligatory to replace old asbestos materials in existing constructions.

I don't see this as a perfect solution, but CSV is not great either. A comma is super common in both text and numbers. Here in Europe we often use commas as decimal separator and use a semicolon as value separator. As a result spreads

It's slightly more convenient, but Vue3 is already great. I like to support an ecosystem and I want a framework to keep existing, making sure I can maintain my projects in the future. That is why I don't jump ship.

Bosch batteries are made in Europe (Poland) but they can contain Chinese cells. Bike batteries do not use LFP because bike consumers demand high mileage, small size and low weight. The Bosch batteries are made very sturdy because bikes expe

Avalonia is interesting because so many desktop apps have been made in WPF over the past decades. And now the technology is getting old and MS wants to replace it by unproven frameworks which have various drawbacks. As Avalonia is XAML base

If you don't want to deal with cookie banners, there are browser extensions you can install to automatically accept them. However, although the cookie banners are sometimes a nuisance, it is still a good thing that people are informe

It is possible but traditional power grid lines have quite some losses over longer distances. An expensive HVDC connection would be more efficient. Furthermore Arizona could be too hot and dusty to be ideal. Solar panels work best when they

I think Delphi was slightly better. The components in Delphi were more powerful at the time. But the general idea is the same. C# with WinForms is still usable today and provides a similar experience. Although the design language has falle

I use Firefox Beta daily on Android. Works without complaints. I have used add-ons with it for the past years. The ones you really need, like uBlock Origin, have always been there.

What about the old and proven Apache? Is it affected?

Yes, and it has never been a bad experience. However, I don't see a use case for new projects. There are many language options nowadays and most have a larger developer pool. I don't think the Community Edition will have the same

But the electric components are not standardized. You can buy e-systems from Bosch, Yamaha, Shimano, Fazua, Mahle, Stromer, Bafang et cetera and they all have different dimensions, different mounting holes, different communication protocols

As far as I know, the EU legislation is primarily aimed to protect privacy. Behavioral advertising is related because it requires tracking, and tracking requires the consent and understanding of users in the EU. There was (is) a huge depe

It depends. Yes, the salaries are lower, but so are the expenses on average. The fringe benefits are usually good. There's a legal minimum amount of paid holiday days, in my country the minimum is 20/year but some unions have clos

Market share is a different measurement unit compared to top selling. From your article: Tesla hatte VW im zweiten Halbjahr 2022 die deutsche Elektroautokrone abgejagt. Nun verteidigte das Unternehmen von Elon Musk den Spitzenplatz. Der Vo

Even in Germany the top selling electric cars are not German. Combined with the uprising of cheaper Chinese brands in Europe in the coming years, I fear the worst for the German car industry. However German car manufacturers like Mercedes

Actually I never found cooperative multitasking a real issue. You don't want faulty tasks in your embedded application anyway. With cooperative multitasking it at least is easy to spot which task is the culprit. If I understand the art

VanMoof did improve technically with their S5. However they also mentioned they had a 10% return rate on their older S3, which probably was very costly. Also they never had a dealer/service network like other brands have in Europe as t

My experience as long term employee of a big bicycle manufacturer is different. Yes, aluminium can survive a long time. But in general steel has a better chance to survive. The category of city bikes are low cost bikes, and the frames are a

While what you are saying is true and the market is moving towards long term solutions because of environmental reasons, at the moment the lifespan of electric components in bikes is usually set at 5 years with 2 years of warranty for the c
