Mossy Earth have, and sponsor some wonderful work (and their videos are great) though it’s worth nothing that they are quite explicit that they are not a charity, nor are they a no…

Having recently done a timer replacement on a Dualit, I think that might literally be a Dualit timer module. Looks identical in the packing box photo. It wouldn’t surprise me if th…

He would definitely would - though I’d imagine that most his travel would be done on a diplomatic basis - so it’s possible the Vienna conventions might apply and preclude detention…

I'm not expert on it, but I suspect that two of them might somehow be related to the Transmit and Receive stations for Australia's JORN (over the horizon radar) that are located in…

I suspect rz2k means that when the plant was operating, they couldn’t even see the towers because of the smoke/smog. Now that it is closed, and there is no smoke - they can see not…

In Australia, after you change your licence address, they mail you a small sticker with the updated addres, that is then stuck onto the back of your licence. There's a small sectio…

I'm not sure if the video covers it, but I do recall reading that in Madagascar, they mark the beans with pinprick initials so that it's easier to identify if they've been stolen. …

Instead of a the tree structure, think about it as Data Center -> WAN -> Site Server -> LAN -> Client By having a proxy/repeater/site server, you are reducing the amount of WAN tra…

I'll admit that I'm not a fan of that trademark having being granted. It's a common term in the industry / sector that they operate in. It would be like an internet company tradema…

Although I don't have a wireless groupset on my bicycle, I'm attracted to the idea of dual batteries (like in the SRAM system) - at least that way if you forget to charge a battery…

The high level issue here is around data ownership, and device ownership. I think the nearest car analogy is ODBII ports and data access - ANT+ is a wireless communication protocol…
