    1. Air conditioners in UK houses are pretty weird and complicated
    2. Potentially having to rip out aall the (usually underfloor) pipe work and replace all your radiator is pretty complicated, compared to switching out the existing gas-fed box on the wall
    3. Working out the capacity needed to heat your home is pretty complicated
    4. Finding the space outside in a small urban garden than can take the unit, without annoying the neighbours next door with the noise can be pretty complicated.
  • Not my personal story, I hasten to add, but I found it very interesting.

  • I think this is probably partially a way of indemnifying themselves against any potential problems that users have will malware. There are two outcomes:

    • Apple retains gatekeeper prerogative - keeps an eye on any software too problematic
    • Brussels says 'No', and Apple can subsequently say 'well we wanted to prevent malware but the EU told us we can't so sorry your phone was compromised, but you are on your own'.
  • Removed by user

  • My kids are going to find me very annoying.... as usual

  • if you were literally in-front of a shop. would you prefer to go-inside and look at the and make a decision there? or would you go “no I’ll open up amazon on my phone instead”

    To be honest if I'm in-store, I'll quite often open a browser so I can look at reviews, so yes I'll tend to end up open up Amazon, bith for reviews and a price check.

    Yes, it's "more complex than the two second thought answer" - but I'll contend that this still the largest factor in the changing make-up of the high street.

  • There are many goods everyone prefers not to shop online, but in-person

    I'm struggling to think of many example - hence my local high street beeing mainly cafes, nail-bars, barbers and cornershops selling every day essentials

  • Many thanks - was going to change the click-baity headline and description when I got a chance, but thought I'd get the news out asap.

    Worth noting there are also IPadOS, MacOS, HomePod and WatchOS updates

  • If you are interested in Octopus - I can shove you my referral code - you get £50, I get £50 if you end up using it.

  • So here is the interesting thing. The think-tanl blames this reduction largely on the lack of growth in the British economy. I can feel Liz Truss pricking up her ears.

  • The sad thing is that this is a really good local school. It could have handled things better, but the level of torch-and-pitchforking going on is disturbing

  • That’s really heartwarming. Thanks for sharing.

  • It’s an interesting problem to be sure. It feels like it should be possible for servers to automagically detect spam on incoming federated feeds and decline to accept spam posts.

    Maybe an actual useful application of LLMs

  • You seem quite cross, almost obsessional about this post. Perhaps just ignore and move on. You don’t know anything about the poster’s health, age etc.

  • Yeh, but I guess it is a reasonable solution to a situation where you are chatting to someone without a camera pointing at their full face and who is wearing goggles
