It’s good but Windows actually names the folder “New Folder”. And Mac doesn’t have Winrar and shortcuts

Seems logical, but there’s a valid reason why these fridges are connected, at least for reading data (not so much for controlling).

European law dictates that things that can spoil due to heat must be stored at the right temperature. And therefore you must register the temperatures of each refrigerator at each moment to have a valid proof of compliance.

A simple supermarkt already has 50 or so appliances. And supermarkets are usually chains with hundreds of stores. So you can imagine the need of having to monitor temperatures centrally. I can imagine that for medical use, the rules are even stricter.

Rice is still harvested manually in many parts of Asia, which is very labor intensive. They grow in warm and wet countries and make for an extremely pretty sight, especially in hilly areas. Length depends on the variety, somewhere between 50 cm and 2 m.

The color scheme reminds me more of the early '90s, but perhaps someone can date them more accurately than me.

Decent all season tires have both marks (M+S and 3PMSF) and are accepted in all countries.

You are right that the tire is a compromise, but in practice the better all season tires are convenient and sufficient for most drivers, especially in countries with a predominantly mild climate. Their biggest downside is cost vs mileage.

Not saying it doesn’t occur in countries like Germany or Belgium, but do a quick search and you will find the US has twenty times as much fatalities caused by police for the same amount of people. Also to become a policeman in Germany means to study for several years and undergo psychological assessment, while in the US new policemen only have to undergo a half year of training.

If you look at the statistics you will notice the reason people feel unsafe nowadays isn’t always found in the numbers. Instead people are more exposed to such stories thanks to social media.

EU decision. All caps used in single use beverage containers (bottles etc). Around 100 billion bottles per year are used in the EU.

The goal is not reduce the carbon footprint, but to reduce litter (loose caps ending in the environment).

It is convenient if implemented well, and annoying if not.

How do you honestly answer such an open question though? Unless someone is very passionate about a particular film, it seems like a good compromise to just name something that fits in the context or allows for further conversation. Answering it correctly would require the person to memorize all candidates on the spot and rate them all objectively in the same personalized way.

1 bit audio dacs use a different architecture (delta/sigma) which had some benefits in the late '80s and in the '90s (lower cost and very linear frequency response). They are fine if implemented well

The only dacs that suck are the cost optimized dacs in bottom of the barrel cd players and portables.

No need to have this for most setups unless you are an enthusiast. Any A-brand CD player built after ~1985 has oversampling and 16-bit DACs. Sure modern DACs are better, but the audible difference is rather insignificant until used in a setup with high end speakers or headphones.

Rotary encoder

You can try to clean its internals to remove oxidation

Seems like something is missing in this explanation though. If people don’t blame left wing, and are just voting right to find a solution to their problems, then why is LGBT support plummeting (topic or this article)? There is no relationship between LGBT rights and the housing shortage.

However, the last left-wing cabinet in the Netherlands was in 1973, and the last cabinet with significant left wing participation ended in 2002. So 24 years of center/right coalition. Seems people have to be pretty much brainwashed to believe some left wing party is the cause of their suffering.

The website mentions a4, a3 and letter

No need to put this guy in the spotlight: a populist who has been at it for over 20 years and doesn’t have the skills to put his words into action.

And 707 + 707 = 1414

I agree that it’s needed in this day and age, when we are faced with dictators.

However more centralized powers have historically led to war within Europe. Think about World war I and II, the Balkan wars, the Prussian wars, Napoleonic wars, the Seven years war, war of the Spanish succession and so on. This is the reason the EU is set up the way it is, all countries can influence decisions and there’s no dominant power overruling others. So it’s a bit of a double edged sword. Centralization helps to suppress cultural differences but doesn’t solve them.

To me it looks like a lot of manual labor is needed to assemble one, which increases the chance of risks due to human error. There are way better socket designs out there. And for European use I wouldn’t pick any socket that’s not rated for the full 16A (this one seems to be 10A based on the photo in this thread)

A little more than just exploit reporting… the law requires products to be secure by design.

More accurately, there has never been a EU law that forced people to create cookie banners.

The EU law required websites to have the users’ consent to use personal data and tracking. The law never even mentioned the word “banner” but this is what the industry chose as a solution.

Furthermore consent is not needed for functional cookies. So all websites that enforce cookie banners upon users do really use tracking/data sharing or their partners (such as Google Analytics) do.
