Are the originals German style modular switches (e.g. https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/energy/low-voltag... )? If so, what did you replace them with as I haven't seen any…

Does anyone here have any experience with KNX? It seems like the best wired system (without being locked into a single manufacturer), but from what I understand it's expensive and …

This reminds me of the VMU on Dreamcast. It was a memory unit with a built in monochrome screen. When 'docked' in the controller it would show extra information about the game you …

Are there any banks that provide EUR accounts that do the same (Monzo is GBP only)?

100 amps at what voltage? At 220v that's only 22kW which is nothing. This year my city has installed 350kW EV chargers in the old town without digging up the street (other than und…

Europe is actually a bit backwards here, 75% of goods transported 'inland' is by truck. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...

The advantage of not having a monorepo?

Yes this exactly. My friend has a professional printer like you'd find in printing shops, and when he is on holiday I go to his house every few days to run a test print to make sur…

As a US citizen it's somewhat tricky as you are taxed on your worldwide income, but the easiest way is probably to become a tax resident in a country with a low tax rate. Even in t…

eBay has a lot of different use cases. Although it was originally for selling your second hand junk, now I expect a lot of their sales come from new items. In my country eBay doesn…
