    Please be aware that this doesn't include electricity and cooling, which is really expensive in Germany. They charge 0.476€/kWh. Running a single 4090 @ 450W 24/7 would add another…

    The easiest way to improve your relative ranking is to find a less competitive event :) I recently won my age class in a 10k (6th overall out of 147 men). In a very competitive rac…

    Do you have private health insurance? Because from my personal experience (in Cologne), the interaction goes like this: “I need an appointment for an MRI.” “Next one I can offer is…

    From my experience in DE, it depends on the company size. Larger enterprises probably will go through an agency, probably to (try to) cover themselves against accusations of false …

    I recently sold a five letter single word .io domain for 5k, which was the median of the estimated value according to various (free) appraisal services. The person I sold it to imm…

    This might come as a surprise to folks who do not own stocks and are not aware of the difference between income and (unrealized) capital gains. According to this article [1] from 2…

    The CPU is not an issue, it’s the SSDs. Chia mining (or more precisely the creation of plots to farm Chia) is a write-heavy process that will literally wear out SSDs. See https://g…

    Assuming immunity, you could take care of your parents, grandparents and other high-risk people. You’d have to balance the risk of a false-positive test and wrong assumptions about…

    The difference is that a phone might get hot when the camera is running 24/7 and CPU load is high, e.g. due to motion detection. To add some anecdata: I had an old iPhone (IIRC a 4…
