There is a software that uses databases to fill Excel sheets. It's called Axiom Software. You can enter, save and retrieve data from within an Excel file (like refresh it). People can have their own files or use a common read-only file, that when refreshed, shows the relevant data as entered by everybody. Databases knowledge is needed in the background but not for all end users.
I read that as 1 hypothetical device.
1m^2 that would yield 0.2 to 2.5 /kWh at respectively 30% to 90% relative humidity.
Why doubling the surface would halve the yield remains a good question ...or an error.
I guess the original device is in fact 2m^2 and the author tried to reduce to 1 but got mixed up.
So the line above would be for a 2m^2 device and translate to "0.1 to 1.25 litres per meter square per kWh".
My camera is off too. Off in the Bios, that is. Bios from 2019 on a Dell XPS from 2015 with Windows 10.
Zoom doesn't care and can activate it. Ain't it creepy?
I contacted Dell, they said it's out of warranty but I can still contact their legal department. What a great answer. There was a (Zoom) update last week and now Zoom says it "doesn't find" a camera.
I had a hamburger (or was it hamberder) restaurant manager turning on a CRT in front of me to show it was dead.
I was there to assess the damages from a badly leaking roof and heavy rains during the night. Water was still pouring almost continuously on the screen, from the ceiling, as the guy pushed the button !
I stepped back 2 meters at that moment. I was the one in shock.
What the world needs now is MORE nipples. More breasts in NON SEXUAL context. Breast feeding, natural pose, topless on the beach, antic statues, everyday life. That is NOT porn, that is "normal". People should get used to them, not choke on them. Saying a good breast is a censored (or amputated) breast is not helping the fundamental problem.
So after ~2 years of battery misuse, when it's worn, you can ONLY use your Surface in economy mode???
What about ..."Applying Windows updates.... do not shut down... errr... YES DO !! errr... no... errr... wait"
What about "To update you computer's Bios,
1 plug power,
2. turn off for 1 hour,
3. Turn on again,
4.Run the Bios update.
5. Pray.
Sure the Fake News click bait is bringing the (more) cash but there is obviously a demand for real news. , There is a market for that, there must be someone with an offer. It's just a matter of protecting your reputation of Real -fact checked- News and there you go. Why not?
>"Belgium I'll grant you, but I was talking really about the warm holiday places people go - Spain, Italy, Malta, etc."
You can go to Spain or anywhere in the world and buy a belgian beer, you don't need a belgian pub to sit and drink it.
Also, funny how Americans massively proclaim themself anti-globalization when it doesn't suits them (see today's voting).
I don't have a better system, that's why I feel we're trapped. Education would help but then comes the question of who's best qualified to decide what sort of education is needed. The question seems cultural but is overshadowed by big financial interests/companies as well. I guess I got thumbs down because I'm not clear in what I mean, not because it's wrong.
Also in this system we live in, uneducated people people do need a vote because otherwise the exploitation by the rich would be far worse. That's how the rich undermine their own system, That's why a balance between right and left is needed.
" You want to take drugs? Well suffer the consequences whether that be prison or dead in an alley."
People don't go in prison for taking drugs, most the time they go for things they've done because of taking drugs, you forgot those consequences in your phrase. Maybe those are the consequences you'd prefer not to see.
