I’m amazed at the comments explaining incoming water temperature fluctuations and pressures…

No no, thermostatic tap/faucet mixes waters depending on the output temperature. Ignores all of the variables except the thermal mass (I guess reaction speed) of the thermostatic system.

I think they are normally like 10x the price of a standard mixer tap tho.
So, it’s a budget choice

Yes, but they’ve put a fancy canopy thing over it to make it look like a seewiz

How much innovation has there been in the ballpoint pen in the last decade?

I was gonna say “salt bae some any wherever there are squiggles”.
Your way seems more… Methodical

Conjugate the verb ‘to go’…

The planned obsolescence is most likely a deliberate trade off rather than actual planned obsolescence.

If fast charging did do significant damage to battery life and this was known at the time of implementation, the decision would have been “users want fast charging phones” Vs “users want devices that last a long time”.
In this instance, the convenience of fast charging absolutely would have won.

“Users want a clear and easy to use device” Vs “users want a robust device”. Which is why we all have glass screens, and the glass technology had to catch up to further expectations.

“Users want easy wireless connectivity” Vs “users want fast and reliable network speeds”. WiFi wins, and has to catch up to further expectations.

Skyrim?

Or “you went to college? You’re overqualified for flipping burgers”

I like the extra challenge that it’s over water!

There is a statue in Glasgow that always has a traffic cone on its head.
The council regularly removes it, and its always replaced.
It’s had different variations over the years, from pride to independence to EU flags.
The council proposed a renovation of the statue including raising the plinth to make it harder to replace the cone. It was shot down with massive public outcry.

And you finally get to jump

I hear that the US has oil and WMDs

Not for a tourist visa. That’s just target with a “you have 4 hours to shop”.

I’ll be honest, I don’t get the shopping at target mugshot reference thing.

Any country you visit will stamp your passport on entry and exit.
The EU is in the process of automating that by taking biometrics and foregoing the passport stamps (https://www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/travel-europe-european-entryexit-system-ees_en so far, it’s automated gates with a passport scanner, a mugshot and fingerprints)
Sounds like the US is as well

Pretty sure this is what the EU is also introducing, instead of passport stamps and border agents.
It’s 1 person sitting in a booth verifying 8+ automatic passport and “person scanner” (ie, takes a photo and fingerprints of you). Matches entries and exits to the Schengen zone. They approve you, and you pass through the gate.
Not sure about the “retention” aspect, tho. Certainly retained for the 90 days in a 180 day period thing. Beyond that? I dunno.

But any border control zone is going to have CCTV which will have its own image retention policy.

Id love to believe this is to weed out the bad applicants.
People that answer “lol, I just want a job” actually get the interviews

Um, akshually it’s a DNS issue not a router issue.
I think.
It looks like a router issue. But it’s always a DNS issue

I installed endeavouros on my windows laptop.
The installer guided me through the partitioning, setting up systemd-boot, and it was all great.
I had to disable bitlocker in windows (not that bothered about) and secure boot in bios (also not that bothered about).

Ran smoothly dual booting both for about 4 months.
Then a windows update hit, and fucked the boot.

Thankfully, this is a common enough thing that there are plenty of tutorials out there.
A liveUSB of endeavouros, some tinkering, and I was back up and running.

The cause seems to be FastBoot, where windows keeps the boot partition mounted. What I think happens is that bios tries to read the boot partition, which is configured/loaded for windows (because it never cleaned up after itself due to FastBoot being on) and boots into windows.
Since turning off FastBoot, I haven’t had any issues in the past 8 months.

Steam took the cap off the toothpaste tube.
Microsoft is giving the toothpaste tube a good squeeze!

Oh look, fediverse is still working.
You can share in the smug grin
