I'm amazed at the comments explaining incoming water temperature fluctuations and pressures....
No no, thermostatic tap/faucet mixes waters depending on the output temperature. Ignores all of the variables except the thermal mass (I guess reaction speed) of the thermostatic system.
I think they are normally like 10x the price of a standard mixer tap tho.So, it's a budget choice
To me:Window seat has lack of shoulder room - bad.Middle seat had 2 arm rests that I have to shrimp to rest my arms on - bad.Aisle seat has 1 (bad) arm rest, but has shoulder and leg room - good.
It's referring to binary blobs. A windows exe might be a binary blob.These are distributed compiled. Even if the project is open sources, the binary blob might have been generated by a compromised compiler.
This is one of the reasons the XZ Utils compromisation went unnoticed for so long. One of the compressed files used for testing contained malicious code that would be included in the build artefacts (IE, the final compiled binary) under very narrow and specific circumstances.
So "deblobbed" means absolutely everything in the OS was built & compiled on their computer from original source code
The planned obsolescence is most likely a deliberate trade off rather than actual planned obsolescence.
If fast charging did do significant damage to battery life and this was known at the time of implementation, the decision would have been "users want fast charging phones" Vs "users want devices that last a long time".In this instance, the convenience of fast charging absolutely would have won.
"Users want a clear and easy to use device" Vs "users want a robust device". Which is why we all have glass screens, and the glass technology had to catch up to further expectations.
"Users want easy wireless connectivity" Vs "users want fast and reliable network speeds". WiFi wins, and has to catch up to further expectations.
There is a statue in Glasgow that always has a traffic cone on its head.The council regularly removes it, and its always replaced.It's had different variations over the years, from pride to independence to EU flags.The council proposed a renovation of the statue including raising the plinth to make it harder to replace the cone. It was shot down with massive public outcry.
Not for a tourist visa. That's just target with a "you have 4 hours to shop".
I'll be honest, I don't get the shopping at target mugshot reference thing.
Any country you visit will stamp your passport on entry and exit.The EU is in the process of automating that by taking biometrics and foregoing the passport stamps (https://www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/travel-europe-european-entryexit-system-ees_en so far, it's automated gates with a passport scanner, a mugshot and fingerprints)Sounds like the US is as well
Pretty sure this is what the EU is also introducing, instead of passport stamps and border agents.It's 1 person sitting in a booth verifying 8+ automatic passport and "person scanner" (ie, takes a photo and fingerprints of you). Matches entries and exits to the Schengen zone. They approve you, and you pass through the gate.Not sure about the "retention" aspect, tho. Certainly retained for the 90 days in a 180 day period thing. Beyond that? I dunno.
But any border control zone is going to have CCTV which will have its own image retention policy.
