Are the originals German style modular switches (e.g. https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/energy/low-voltag... )? If so, what did you replace them with as I haven't seen any ZigBee switches th

Does anyone here have any experience with KNX? It seems like the best wired system (without being locked into a single manufacturer), but from what I understand it's expensive and not aimed at DIYers. For context I'm in the proces

This reminds me of the VMU on Dreamcast. It was a memory unit with a built in monochrome screen. When 'docked' in the controller it would show extra information about the game you are playing. As well as saving games, you could al

This is for non-mandatory updates - things like navigation and updates to a slightly less crappy UI. For safety recalls the dealer bills the manufacturer for their time, so as the customer you don't need to pay anything (other than you

I switched back (after a Mac stint for 12 years) to Linux a couple of years ago, and although hardware support is much better there are still some very sharp edges you could easily bleed out on if you briefly touch. I have a ThinkPad T470s

You missed one major point. That IFR is with the restrictions in place. If they were lifted it would be higher.

Should we also penalize people who cycle to work, and pack their lunch at home? On paper they are no different than people working from home.

I live in an Eastern European country, and I see more BMWs here than my home country (UK). It's not that they are more reliable than other cars (I'd say the opposite infact), but having a BMW (even a 15 year old one that's st

Are there any banks that provide EUR accounts that do the same (Monzo is GBP only)?

The reason why they are stored are because hotels need a way to 'guarantee' the booking. This means if you don't turn up they can still charge you for (e.g.) the first night of your trip. A pre-authorization wouldn't wor

100 amps at what voltage? At 220v that's only 22kW which is nothing. This year my city has installed 350kW EV chargers in the old town without digging up the street (other than under where they install it), so the infrastructure must h

Yes this exactly. My friend has a professional printer like you'd find in printing shops, and when he is on holiday I go to his house every few days to run a test print to make sure the head doesn't dry up. If it does, the only re

As a US citizen it's somewhat tricky as you are taxed on your worldwide income, but the easiest way is probably to become a tax resident in a country with a low tax rate. Even in the UK, as a contractor/freelancer it's fairly

eBay has a lot of different use cases. Although it was originally for selling your second hand junk, now I expect a lot of their sales come from new items. In my country eBay doesn't exist (i.e. they don't have a localised site, y

Does the site also give that error if you are in California? To meet the requirements for CCPA, a news site (that isn't doing anything untoward) is most likely also going to be GDPR compliant.

Figma have a free plan which works perfectly fine for my purposes (implementing designs given to me by designers, and very occasionally making my own).

I'm guessing $99/mo for 50mbit+ is faster and/or cheaper than a lot of people in rural (and even not-so-rural) America are paying.

Make it part of the Premium subscription then (which is ad-free). If people or companies have a legitimate use for downloading videos, paying $10/mo (or however much it is) isn't going to break the bank.

Commercial vehicles are not as powerful as you think... The Scania P-series which is often used for garbage trucks in Europe has engines ranging from 200hp to 500hp [0]. Cargo vans like the Fiat Ducato are typically not much more than 100hp
