The older feature of limiting charge to 80% only overnight was more useful in my opinion.

The "fresh" section in supermarkets is indeed in quotes because often it is not fresh [0] and it is not real sourdough [1]. They certainly give the impression that it is though! [0…

It's funny that you mention co-op and lidl.. neither of them actually have "bread fresh baked on premises including stuff like ancient grain sourdough" [0]. kwhitefoot is correct a…

I’m not sure about that, but I can tell you that the UK has been regressing in: healthcare, policing, education, road infrastructure, rail infrastructure, immigration control and s…

In the UK, gas has been roughly a quarter of the cost of electricity for decades. I find it hard to believe given global markets that it is more than half of the cost in more than …

Thank you. I did actually come across this a few weeks ago as I semi-regularly search for new phones in my despair! It is the closest phone to what I have been after for a while. I…

My tolerance for Apple's walled garden expired with what they've pulled in reaction to the Digital Markets Act. It's become blatant (to me) they are landlords of their digital empi…

I don't. This is a stark realisation that I have had over the past few years. I would once staunchly recommend iPhones for their strong security, in particular app isolation, on-de…

Wear clothes - I know that hermit crabs wear shells Make music - I know that birds sing, and a quick Google search shows whales and seals seem to make "music" as well Theorize - De…

You need to look at the real incentives in a system, not pick out what you would like to happen. Large multi-national profit-focused companies are responsible for your food. (To be…

Spotify’s offline content was not been reliable for me. I am rarely offline, but recently I was taking a flight and my whole library was unavailable. I was so annoyed that I actual…

I’ve researched it and I’m reporting back. The answer is that the technology is advertised as not dazzling oncoming drivers only. Further, the little explanation of the technology …

What about oncoming cyclists? Pedestrians?

Err… as it says on the page: - Arrow's theorem does not apply to first past the post - Arrow's theorem does not apply to proportional representation - Arrow's theorem only applies …

I agree with you to a certain extent. Here's an example of a news organisation that does not take money from advertisements: https://bylinetimes.com/about/ It's part of the reason …

To add to the discussion of the The Guardian, I think it is borderline. It is certainly much better than the majority of entertainment / media / "news" which is billionaire-owned. …

I think we actually agree a lot and I appreciate your reflection on voting systems and democracy. I agree with you that FPTP is democratic, and that you get groups who are over-rep…

First Past the Post is less democratic than other systems of voting. Consider various definitions of democracy, they're usually along the lines of: > Democracy is a system of gover…

Taxes don't have to push the problem onto poor people at all. For example, the proceeds can be directly given to everyone equally which will usually disproportionately benefit poor…

During a water shortage, if most of the water is being taken up by few wealthy individuals, then there are negative externalities being created: people dying, falling sick, being h…

The Conservative party won 43% of votes and 56% of seats. The Labour party won 32% of votes and 31% of seats. Despite winning only 1.34x more votes, the conservatives received 1.8x…

It’s up to individuals to decide if they are wasting their own resources. Everyone has a different perspective. Personally, I think SUVs are a waste and should be banned, but would…

I mean no offence, but you are literally just guessing and not talking about technologies that people have in their houses. Hilarious that I’m sending your own words back to you. I…

That’s not quite right. All new smart meters have the ability to report electricity usage minute-by-minute. You _currently_ have the choice to only report month-by-month, by kindly…

It certainly does A history search. For “really useful”, I would suggest replacing it with the fzf integration. McFly could perhaps be even better.
