Electricity is usually not made from fuel, though, but from a wide variety of resources. And you forgot the last step – transmission of heat from the stove to the food. Gas stoves are far inferior in this step, losing most of the heat into the surtounding air. Induction stoves have almost no transmission loss.

Another reason is installation. In order to use gas in the kitchen, you have to have a gas pipe in the kitchen, which has become very unusual. During construction, it’s easier and cheaper to not lay gas pipes. Most people do not have a choice – either you got an old house witha gas pipe in the kitchen or a newer one with a 400 V power outlet.

AFAIK, clamAV hunts Window viruses, not Linux malware. The linux equivalent I know of is rkhunter.

That’s fascinating. Especially the rain part, because our Tesla’s driving assistant just does not work in bad weather. I cannot imagine how it is technical possible to get a camera-based system to work reliably in bad weather without some mechanism to keep the cameras clean. Our rear camera is basically unusable during winter unless we get out of the car and clean it every single time we need it.

Thank you for your advise!

That’s possible, I’m comparing what I know.

By the way, VW hasn’t just a lane keeping tech, the car is able to drive autonomous in standard situations. Our VW (build 2022) was far better than our Tesla (build 2023) in lane detecting, lane keeping, reading traffic signs (dven in the Netherlands), navigation, detecting city and village boundaries, detecting crossroads, keeping distance and following lanes in curves – the tesla tends to ignore the law of physics and to go to fast. Tesla is far better at detecting waste bins though. It detects every single wastebin there is anywhere within 3 m of the road. VW lacks autonomous overtaking, and it slows for traffic lights but does not stop for them when they are red, that’s two points for the Tesla. Though Tesla slows for traffic lights even when they are green.

The VW was able to drive home from work almost autonomous – there were two crossings, one traffic light and one roundabout it needed my assistance. The Tesla would crash multiple times.

The most annoying thing with the Tesla is that it does not cooperate with the driver. VW has a genuine assistant – the car drives, and when I correct it, the VW just smoothly accepts the correction and carries on. The Tesla just stops working anytime the driver intervenes.

Minimum speed for vehicles to be allowed on the autobahn is 60. This is an autonomous traffic jam assistant – you can sleep during traffic jams now.

No, 60. seriously.

Unlike all other driving assistants you are allowed to let the car dive unsupervised on it’s own. Since 60 km/h is sort of the minimum speed for the German autobahn, this is an autonomous traffic jam assistant – you can sleep, watch tv or do whatever you like during traffic jams < 60 km/h.

We’ve got an Tesla and an Volkswagen ID3. Tesla’s charging planning is pretty good. Volkswagen’s driving assistants are vastly superior to Tesla’s (despite not being oversold as “autonomous driving”).

IIRC, the first robotaxis are operated by companies owned by Google and General Motors, and the only car that has a licence for fully autonomous driving in Germany (up to 60 km/h, only on Autobahn) is a Mercedes.

No, Tesla’s autonomous driving is not cutting edge.

So, if I get this correct – joining the EU would be a step backwards for Norway, but joining Norway could be a step forward for the EU?

Sounds genuine. I’m sold.

Why not?

Thank you to translate the “Meta Messenger”, I was a bit confused as the only messenger of meta I was aware of is Whatsapp, whuch is e2e since like forever in software terms.

Is it just a frontend for Bing? The results differ. I’m not shure which search engine I like best.

Yes – the answer should be our own green energy campaign.

According to softpedia (the descriptions of the web engine is somewhat buried in the texts):

Aloha: chromium

Vivaldi: chromium

Brave: chromium

AFAIK Ecosia is not a browser, but a search engine.

TL;DR all

Thank you.

Which FOSS video editor did you find?

Well, to be fair – we don’t know what the MEPs were paid for, we don’t even know that they were paid for anything or whether these payments were really illegal.

Probably these were donations rather than bribes.

If you donate to people who are on your side to help them gain influence, you’re using your money more effectively than by paying bribes.

Thank you. So it’s not just a doorbell, rather a remote controlled surveillance and communication system. That is a bit more complicated than a bell at the door.

Why would you need any software, server or phone for a simple door bell?

The linked article was very informative. The problem they described is that there is no alternative for people banned by cloudflare to access the content of sites shut off by cloudflare. Which, in a developed country, is a minority small and weak enough to ignore them.

The BIS and ABW have not named names so far, but BIS had a 300-page dossier on illicit payments worth “millions of [Czech] crowns” (tens of thousands of euros), it has said.

ABW seized €72,000 in cash in raids in the Warsaw region.

It’s kind of insulting when perhaps-not-Moscow offers just a meagre couple of 10000 € as bribe to our MEPs. And embarassing when they accept such a sum.
