My message was meant for people who do not take these things into account. As there are many of them.
Also, you can definitely permanently damage your battery by letting it discharge too far. This is due to a process called hard sulfation.
I was pointing out the negatives of leaving a car parked for 5 weeks. Sure you can read it differently, depending on your mindset.
No, why? I live in a country where traveling by public transport is the norm.
No one is stopping a car owner from doing that, but many will forget. And they will be unpleasantly surprised and might not join such a challenge again. Hence my heads up
Parking your car for so long is not without risk though.
Might need a new car battery as it will slowly drain.
Parking brakes might get stuck.
Tires might develop flat spots.
Try Qwant
Also, the browser engine needs to be maintained anyhow. Moving to something like Waterfox or Librewolf doesn’t change the necessity to support Mozilla.
King’s Quest III. The story is great but that damn wizard keeps appearing out of nowhere.
Tried Ecosia but they want you to turn off an adblocker as they are ad supported. I don’t like ads as they contribute to overconsumption.
Tried DDG and it was solid but it wasn’t very good in local search results (I live outside of the US).
So I’m using Qwant for the time being.
I personally like Lumo. There aren’t many other services that offer privacy out of the box. And it’s not some integrated solution so that I don’t have to worry about data being shared with other services.
Prefab parts are actually very common here in West and North European homes. Complete prefab houses too, factory made, very well insulated, using heat pumps and underfloor heating, built in plumbing and electrical systems. They do not use bricks but a combination of wood, steel, insulation materials and cladding and are built for a lifespan of around 75-100 years.
There are several dumb tvs, such as the Samsung BEFX-H series and the LG UN640S. Yes, they are more expensive for the same specs, because they don’t make money with ads and paid services.
Tbf, very few people had a hard disk at home in 1980. And if they did, it was a smaller capacity. The IBM PC XT shipped with a 10 MB drive in 1983.
Here in West Europe (differs per country):
Beta tapes are 480i, 720x480 interlaced
That’s more than enough resolution to clearly identify faces.
Not so sure about that. Actually tv in the '90s was not that bad. In terms of resolution it looked similar to 480p video, but without any artifacts. Furthermore due to the nature of how a CRT works, those tvs actually had less motion blur than flat screens.
I have mailbox.org for a side project and although it works well, I don’t really like the experience since several parts of the site default to German instead of my own language.
Hoping the new calendar will finally have a search. That’s the one reason I have to revert to Google calendar at times
Also the data seems to be from 2018. More than 50% of all new purchased city passenger buses in Europe are zero emission (usually electrified). And that number is higher in some other countries, with China being ahead of everyone.
Depends on your model. Some BMW, Volvo, VW and older Teslas discharge within weeks. Mostly due to their built in telematic systems and luxury systems.
