I only go Tuya if there is absolutely no Zigbee alternative. I’ve got curtain bots on Tuya which were fine when it was one curtain but now they barely respond to automations anymore.

Except you have the added fun to pay for this

I should’ve mentioned that of course, they cover costs first and then invest their profits in good causes. From an article by Utopia.org:

“Ecosia donates 100% of its profits to climate action projects. Of this, a minimum of 80% goes to tree-planting projects. This focus on planting trees is for the benefit of the planet, animals and people in general.”

They surpassed 100 million in 2020 and according to their website they are well past 200 million at the moment. The 80% figure also comes from themselves and they have been certified after intensive scrutiny.

First off. I hate ads. I do everything in my power to avoid seeing them.

But for my search engine, I tolerate them. Why? Because 80% of this ad revenue profits is used to plant trees to combat global warming.

I’ve been using Ecosia for quite a while now and as it uses Bing for most the algorithmic stuff, you won’t notice a huge difference. But there is some custom indexing in there.

Ecosia passes all kinds of integrity tests and certifications, so I do not question whether they are legit or not. I just feel my search efforts are best spent on Ecosia, who find a way to actually do some good in the world with something as heinous as ad revenue.

No, a state of shock causes less blood going to vital organs. You can be in shock for a short while without sustaining any heavy damage.

Shock mainly constricts blood vessels.

I’ve picked it up as a casual follow because there’s not much else at the moment. It’s okay but I am not overwhelmed.

The show focuses, in my opinion, a bit too much on that human/bot mix portraying all kinds of ways he’s not actually human. It distracts from the (in my opinion rather thin) storyline. Maybe this is one of those shows that is complementary to the books it’s based on?

Most notable I think is there’s this dude who asks for any old pc parts you might have lying around, he’ll cover shipping but the stuff needs to be donated, and he makes gaming or office systems for countries in need.

I donated a case and a PSU to a cause and it got shipped off to Ukraine to replace broken stuff.

As a kid I was like ‘oh sure Rock Tunnel dark af let’s fkn go to Lavender’ but now I’m like ‘Rock Tunnel? That’s a lazy name’. Also Dark Cave in gen 2. No points for creativity.

How do you drop a ten, twice?

And how’s Porto? It’s on my to-do list, I’ve been to Lisbon and Lagos. Gotta say I love Portugal.

I agree with what you say in your edit. It would also explain why Luke would look so shocked that his choice of synth is in question.

That’s a…

Never mind.

Fatbikes, I think. The crowd that goes around riding those things are usually the type to perpetrate these kinds of actions.

[A ‘proper’ quantum light-emitting diode element emits its own light – the clue is in the name.

However, Samsung’s latest TVs use a separate LCD backlight (often an edge-lit backlight, at that) just like any other LED-LCD TV. So the QLED moniker is more about branding than a truly ‘quantum leap’ for TV panel technology](https://www.techradar.com/news/samsung-qled-samsungs-latest-television-acronym-explained)

Overly full lips. There’s a bandwidth there where it should fit the rest of the facial features. Filling them up with collagen just almost never looks good.

It was mentioned on Lubach, I couldn’t really remember the specifics so I figured it was probably Amsterdam but I can’t really spot it on first sight. I don’t believe it’s Rotterdam, the tram doesn’t even look like the ones in Amsterdam

Thanks, that’s the one I meant

Although I fully agree with keeping it simple like that and I would state to anyone that this is basically correct, there are some technical differences between a ‘normal’ LED and QLEDs. And then there’s also Quantum Dot OLEDs which applies this ‘quantum’ (marketing term) layer to an OLED screen.

So in short, yeah they’re different but it’s indeed mostly marketing.

I was thinking: there’s is no way this is the Netherlands, I know none of these towns and they sound Belgian. Turns out it’s because this is Belgium.
