Normal sunglasses it sees trough, but if you somehow block it, you can't enable some features anymore (pilot assist). That was different in the early sw versions, where blocking it…

The emissions tests only test to the level that the car was first registered (or produced) doesn't it?

My experience with my Volvo EX30 has been the complete opposite. Although the false positives have gone down with software updates, it's still wrong so often I turn it off every ti…

Communal bins mean everyone pays for everyone's garbage and/or lack of sorting. Here the rate per kg is different depending on which bin it is, so you're "rewarded" for sorting pro…

My local garbage org has a site where you can download an ical for your location or put in an address and get it for the entire year. So nice, until it's the third week of January …

GDPR could have been great, if it was actually enforced in the way it was intended. Cookie banners and dark patterns are not actually allowed, but without enforcement, it's basical…

Almost all EU credit cards are automatic debit at the end of the month, i.e. carrying over balance is not even possible. You will simply be over-drafted on the linked debit account…

Except that personalized cards have been a thing since I've had a card in 2014...

The linked size is also quite common in Belgium.

A bit off topic, but changing your name when getting married is so strange to me. It is not at all common where I live (Belgium), in fact I don't think I personally know a single p…

This is a fun playlist of a conversion of a manual machine to CNC: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDlWKv7KIIr9rlCwZ9K43...

After having some persistent issues with my previous pi-hole setup, running as an add-on on my Home Assistant rPi 5, I moved to AdGuard Home on dedicated hardware. I run it on a rP…

It takes out so much frustration too. No more nitpicking about style/... in merge requests, the pre-commit hook will fix it and CI will catch it if you don't. The more of this you …

For me it's only ever an issue if I stop renewing a domain, which triggers issues somewhere next renewal and now nginx doesn't reload. Other than that, I've never had to babysit ce…

The writeup page is also definitely worth taking a look at: https://mitxela.com/projects/fluid-pendant

In Belgium, starting in 2026 B2B invoices must be registered electronically & use a structured format. Any ideas about potential integrations? https://finance.belgium.be/en/enterpr…

CCS is great in Europe. You can plug in your normal 3 phase 400V EVSE and charge at 22kW at home, and twice a year when you need it, you can uncover the little extra flap for 350kW…

The same thing existed for micro USB before but Apple could not agree to that or a new standard, so the EU said "USB-C". The law provides for upgrades and mandates compliance with …

Very nice, just FYI for home assistant fans: WoL is also supported in there :)

> There is no "formula" for success in the creator economy - the winners are largely random. I think that strongly depends on what you call "the creator economy". For example, on Y…

Yes and no. No on the distribution network (aka up to the transformer in the street usually, but for sure not on the xxx kV lines) because there the lines are balanced. In your hou…

3 Phase is (normally, in Europe) 3x400V+N. Single phase is 230V. AC chargers here (Belgium) are usually 11kW or 22kW capable (at least nominally). This is 16 or 32A. A normal house…

Notes from Belgium: - A full time working week is 38h by law. If you do work 40h, you get that time (so 12 days/year) back to compensate. There are talks about a 34h workweek, but …
