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

I don’t know. I go to news portals or aggregates or feeds for news. Do people actually just type “news” into Google? I suppose for specific events, but I could actually see it being true that news searches weren’t making up much of the activity. The way it’s going to be is subscription based or publicly funded for anything worthwhile

I think it’s problematic to require an organization to do something and then charge for it. It’s one thing if they do something of their own volition and then are required to pay

I think they’re setting up to negotiate not paying. I don’t think people should depend on Google to provide a social good at their cost

This was more a stunt because France is demanding Google pay to link to news sites. It’s the opposite of whether search engines should be required to list them

Just my two cents: I’ve had occasional problems with games through steam on dual monitors. Things like losing mouse focus or changing resolution on the other monitor (though that hasn’t happened for a long time).

Monitors are old Asus. I won’t bother looking up the models as I’m sure they’re outdated

That could be, even just considering one language to parse from. I heard efficiency and just thought speed

I would hope so, but as a demonstration, it wasn’t very impressive. They should have left subtitles up transcripting everything

How much faster was it? I was reading along with the gibber and not losing any time

Since you have completely hijacked this from talking about the Gulf, as I said, call it what you want. I’ll probably continue to call it Denali, because it’s just a name.

You conflate not agreeing with not reading, because if someone reads your posts, they have to agree, right? So if someone doesn’t agree, it simply means they didn’t read your post.

If names mean so much, what about naming things after slave owners? Tell me how many slaves were at Mt Vernon? History has very few perfect saints.

But back to the Gulf. It’s just not worth it. Call it what you want. It’ll revert one way or another eventually

Whatever. Enjoy your rant. It’s going to be a fun four years for you

I’m not ignoring it. I’m saying it’s just a name. I will continue to call it the Gulf of Mexico for the rest of my life, or probably just “the Gulf”. I never used another term for French fries, # is still a pound sign, and I’m not going to worry about this.

And I’m saying it’s just a name. Call it whatever you want. He means it as a distraction. There’s more important things

I’m telling you this is what he wants: people to get all worked up and virtue signaling for MAGA

No one can own the Gulf anyway. Trump just wanted to stir shit up and people like you getting all bent out of shape are just playing into it. It’s just a name
