It was too weak to use. It was connected but with no bars. It was probably well outside the city where they still had power

About a month ago, almost the whole city (northern Germany) lost power for about forty minutes. My signal was down to an unusable edge connection. I really don’t know what the rules are

That’s what I meant, the device is directly next to the heat source. It’s never going to be accurate. And you can tell in the way people use the two systems. In Germany, people don’t think about our check the temperature of the room or what the dial is set at, just, I’m cold, turn it up. In the US, the room is set to a specific temperature and just left alone except for day/night, home/away.

But, anyway, the comment was about how they wouldn’t work for Nest, and that’s true. You’d need a third party solution. It would be hard to sell these and then say, hey, by the way, you can’t use it until you go out and buy something from someone else and install it

I haven’t been in many private houses in the Netherlands. I could only speak to Germany

Yes, but they are not electronic and they don’t reflect the temperature of the room like a wall thermostat does.

TBF, over 15* in Germany I’ve only seen a couple of actual thermostats. The vast, vast majority use a valve on each radiator. There are electronic solutions for the radiators, but sticking a Nest on the wall is going to do nothing for someone unless the customer installs specific hardware that the Nest would have to support

*edit : years

Vaccine nonsense got all around the world

Is it just wishful thinking that we don’t have 3+ years until the election?

I don’t know what to tell you. If that’s his experience…

I guess the radio is a bit more efficient

They do, but he can’t afford it anymore

Rudi ran out of hair tar

Skipped the hair dye today. It’s not like he’s going somewhere fancy like The Four Seasons (Landscaping) or anything

I know. I wasn’t trying to be pedantic or even serious, but I couldn’t pass up calling out the use of “literal” on that occasion

Literally? Are you sure you’ve seen their pictures?

Sure, then it’s the opposite, but it can’t be neutral like the OP wanted.

“healthy” is inherently a positive word. It’s like trying to turn “happy” negative. You could change the form and put the risk on that noun: “…found to be a risk to ones health/happiness”

He did this in at least one other place: Alberta, Michigan

You tried to make a blanket statement that they are all illegal when entering surreptitiously is a valid way of making an asylum claim.

That’s exactly my experience with a CP1525nw I’ve had for a dozen years. Kernel support and Android prints fine to it directly since at least the last several versions. I have been using off-brand toner and have had mixed results with some, but it’s cheap enough that it doesn’t bother me to replace a full cartridge if that happens
