I had a very quick check and I think iPads use an external chip for USB 3 - and there may just not have been space on the iPhone’s logic board for that. I think you’d have to judge it next year - since the base models seem to be using last year’s pro chips - if the base model doesn’t support 3.1 speeds then, something fishy is happening

You lose energy if you split or fuse it

The Lord Mayor of London has to pay for his own transport

Not that it makes your point less valid. Just a fun bit of trivia!

Most European countries including Germany use less electricity now than in the 90s, so the percentage would have risen if you kept the same output of nuclear power

Nuclear peaked at 11% in the 90s and is now zero

You can see an energy mix time series on here-

Not really. 1/3 of your electricity production today is coal, while your nuclear dropped from 25% in the 90s to zero today. If you kept your nuclear - rather than shutting down your reactors well before the end of their life - you would be burning far less coal

Closing nuclear power plants is never replaced with renewables. It’s always this

You mean to tell me I’ve been paying extra for boneless bananas for no reason?

They they?

Yes, I traded an iPod for them

Didn’t google only recently get the ability to block apps access to stuff like your camera, microphone, files etc? That was in iOS over a decade ago

Turn off ‘reduce translucency’ in the system accessibility settings

I stand corrected!

I think to update the string of lights you’d need to change transformer. Household bulbs have a driver in the bulb that converts the 230V to the ~12V the bulb uses. But for that string of lights, they’d need to get an electrician (or someone who knows what they’re doing)

I have an ikea one. Made by WhirlPool. You can find the manufacturer if you go to the support page for the product. I got a mid range ikea hob, and their 365 frying pan. The frying pan has the best Teflon, but the metal is pretty thin, so there is definitely hot spots. Just something to consider

Induction hobs are amazing. Much faster than gas at boiling water, and an equal response to changing temperature. Lower quality induction jobs and cookware will have hot spots though.

I have one because we have too much shade to grow grass. We have a 3 storey 60s house and a small, north facing garden. That said only one brand was recyclable at the end of its life, which is a shame

Do they mean unachievable for the budget?
