My limited experience: we don't do this at work because it's not worth the hassle, it's not going to be worth it at home either. Just a random issue I remember: microsoft changed something to their spam filter to make it more secure. Consequence: many companies with self-hosted mail ended up...

that's a good default instruction. A naked PCBA (no heatsinks or whatever) is safe for immersion though. Dunking is also not necessary since you usually have to brush stuff to really get rid of residue anyway: you can also do spot cleaning and avoid disassembling certain things if you're...

maybe you can look up the regulations and permissions. See if such an instantaneous power density is within the legal limits (assuming you measured it correctly). IIRC most rules were about average exposure but they updated them to deal with the fact that 5G antennas can do beamforming to send...

1. hydrogen cars are electric cars, they use electric motors. This part is not affected by their previous strategy at least. 2. they are late compared to the other companies due to their strategic mistake of thinking H2 > chemical batteries for cars. Let's see if they can catch up. 3. maybe the...

in a city where people live in apartments you don't even have the space to put large items. Besides, there are car share schemes to cover the needs of carless people in most locations. Or you can just use a 2-wheeled trolley and some bungee cords. People who do lots of handwork often have a...

segregation of traffic and public transport is still pretty critical, buses are useless if they're stuck in the same traffic as the cars.

I actually spend about 40k I think, the rest is invested.

in my country you usually participate in costs for the ambulance, and it's not cheap. To be honest for an emergency situation (bleeding out, back injuries) the ambulance is better since it's a very medicalized car with a doctor (sometimes the doctor is in an accompanying car). It's not like the...

https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/1990/four-charmglow-bug-killers-recalled-for-fire-hazard if it's one of these, maybe now we know why they seem to be more resistant to clogging than others, and why people are not responding to the recall.... To be honest, after you clean it, it should work like...

With every innovation a bunch of jobs were elimianted, and yet new menial jobs came up every time. Maybe you can't see it now, but they will exist. Just think of tourism, hiking, mountain sports. It was all invented about 200 years ago, pushed mostly by rich brits who wanted to get away from...

my gaming rig cost me about 600$. I occassionally play call of duty with friends who live away. It's lightweight and doesn't require too much thinking. Without the social aspect I don't really play anymore. I watch TV series mostly.

I'm going to bet it's about the HVAC system. Like if you turn off the fan mold starts growing or the bathroom has no ventilation at all anymore, so they don't want customers to do it. I've seen this one before on a clothres room drying/blowing machine where once the optimal setpoint was dialed...

here in Switzerland anything built news is ages better than old buildings, simply because they're massive concrete with better sound isolation than buildings from the 50s-60s that are where the cheaper apartments are. Sadly, the rent is much more expensive as a result. Buildings from the 80s...

today another pile-up, seemingly with dead people as well, happened on an elevated section of the freeway in a large transit valley in northern Italy: Winter or all-season tires are compulsory and they have snow every winter in that area. police here often set up roadblocks just to hand out...

reading more about that, it doesn't seem like such a threatening thing. If the software stays open source, it's also always possible to make a VLC version without that functionality. Just with another name since VLC and the cone are probably copyrighted.
