I have an 8-wire phone line (twisted pair) between floors. I connected it with an RJ45 socket and it connects at Gigabit speed. If you only have four wires available, it will usually still work at 100 MBit.

Get one with a Bosch CX motor (at least Gen4 or newer with the smart system). They are market leaders here in Europe and they usually ride really well. Canyon (German brand) sells bikes in the US with this system: https://www.can

Wow, that is very expensive. Yeah, we're are having a second solar boom here, I installed a second small 2 kWp system on our garden shed for about 700 €. I'm adding a small 5 kWh battery on top so we can use all this generated ene

I'm in my 13 year and with 10 kWp I'm still generating a maximum of about 8000 W on warm days (which lowers the efficiency). I don't know any neighbours or friends who have had to replace a module.

Are you sure about not breaking even with Solar panels? Here in Europe modern Chinese panels with 450 Wp can be bought for about 50 € a panel. These panels last 20 years without problems. Even just installing 5 of them will lower your elect

Bosch and Siemens produce home appliances through B(osch)S(iemens)H Hausgeräte GmbH ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSH_Hausgeräte ). They are not lending their brand to another manufacturer.

If you do not need a domain you can also publish a static page as your blog on Github: https://pages.github.com

The only way to find out would be in the Whois data, which is anonymised. The provider and registry will still have at least your billing information, but without a court order no user will be able to get it from them.

If you are publishing from your own (German) domain in Germany, you will need to add an impress with your personal address.

by mgraupner 2y ago
Get a .com domain from a provider with Whois privacy and don't add an impress. Done.

Germany: 2.891 new BYDs compared to 232.886 new BMWs in 2024. I haven't seen one yet, even though I usually check for new cars.

There was a similar project a few months ago that tracked changes/pivots/shutdowns in startups. It was a very light site, unfortunately I lost the bookmark or forgot to bookmark it. Can anyone help me here?

It's a 30-year-old house, at the moment I live in a similar old house. There is a considerable amount of renovation that needs to be done on houses that old, this house also has an energy efficiency rating of F, which is the worst. You

Try buying a decent house in Germany with 4000€ netto, which puts you in the top 10% income bracket. Then come back and tell me, you're a rich person.

Instead of being a dick you could have searched for "Alexa set volume to a value less than 1" on Google. Multiple reddit threads with exactly the same problem. Have you actually checked that "Set volume to 15%" will set

Thanks for the feedback.

Which is fine (although these routines are very slow, which makes it awkward to use for volume adjustments), but why make things so complicated when the possibility to adjust the volume in 1% steps via the app and 3% via buttons exist?
25.
by mgraupner 2y ago
I checked and it's 3% increments via the buttons. I have 3 different Echos, they all behave the same.

by mgraupner 2y ago
Not working for me, as I said in another comment, asking it to set it to 15% will set it to 20%.
27.
by mgraupner 2y ago
Unfortunately it only knows integers and rounds 15% up to 20% and 12% down to 10%.
28.
by mgraupner 2y ago
Which correlates to 10% and 100%. I want for example 15%, which works with the buttons.

Speaking of Alexa: Can anyone explain the thought process behind making it possible to change the volume in small increments via buttons, but not via voice command (only in 10% increments)? I only use it as an internet radio player for back

I did some fact checking on these figures and could not find a source for them. It seems that most of the soy goes to China. The dynamics of global soybean trade remain heavily influenced by China, which accounts for about 60% of worldwide
