Philips Professional Display has a Signage Screen probably based on the same panel available for some time. I have seen it the first time at ISE last January and it looks pretty good, considering it is ePaper. About half the price. https:&

What kind of PMS integrations did you look for? The space is horrible (especially so after Oracle bought Micros-Fidelio) but there are a ton of companies offering interfacing middlewares that connect to a ton of different PMS systems and of

Scrolling through these made me remember that some years ago Katie Melua played a concert on the bottom of the "feet" of Troll A platform (number 4 of the list). Apparently world record for the deepest concert. Absolutely mind blo

You can live in an unban environment without these problems. Maybe not often found in the US, but where I live (Germany and most of the rest of Europe) it is certainly possible. 4AM deliveries and drunk people are not a reality in most neig

It sometimes helps to call the council about this. Many streetlamps have the option for shading in certain directions to prevent your problem, but the guys installing it might not set it correctly. My parents had the exact problem. Called u

Thing is in the previous discussion it was already mentioned by experts that this "No" would be likely and that the result would be an App that would not be tightly integrated with the OS and thus less useful (and less used). But

Happens once or twice in my city every year. Last year I missed the evacuation perimeter by about 50m. Quite a weird feeling taking your trash out and hearing policecars driving though the neighbourhood making PA-announcements to evacuate.

Also just a personal observation, but I don’t see many people using eBay anymore, maybe for some special niches (for example stuff you would find in a Home Depot is often better to get from ebay since it’s probably to large for amazons fulf

Fords sold in Europe are mostly European cars (developed and build in Europe for the European market). They are smaller but in many aspects objectively better than most US models.

Coming from a country whos economy is basically build around cars (Germany) I am baffled by this also. Especially when they think that they can do everything in-house. All the big car companys rely on a ton of suppliers for all kinds of stu

Do you have a source for that? I tried finding an answer to this a while ago and was left a little unsure in the end.

Seems to be a restriction of that particular carrier. I used multi / pair sims regularly years ago on several German networks (I.e. for car phones) and they would all ring on incoming calls. However only one card would receive SMS mess

Sadly it’s not the case. Some low cost airlines are said to have extremely short training just for minimal compliance. It goes as bad as an Air Asia crew felling the passengers to pray instead of preparing them for the emergency situation.

Russian watches are a good gateway drug to watch collecting without having to spend a lot of money. There are so many unique editions and designs and (here in Germany) they can often be found on flea markets for unter 20€.

To some extent yes. In developing countries (including Myanmar) they are pushing free “access” to the internet via the Facebook app. So for a lot of people in these countries Facebook is essentially the internet.
