I tried it too and quickly realized that electricity costs eat up the profit - at current prices it's basically not worthwhile anymore for individuals. The big farms with optimized setups and cheap p…

That's unfortunately a standard problem with DualSense controllers, lots of people report it. How quickly it becomes really annoying depends on how intensively you play and which games - you'll notic…

If you're really just starting out, I'd go with Apple HomeKit instead - yeah, I know that sounds counterintuitive, but it's actually the safest and simplest system. You just need an iPhone or iPad as…

That's how it was for me: I recently wanted to do a tour in the Alps and the mountain guide just assumed I'd have a beacon - didn't make a big deal about it. Legally you don't need one, but in practi…

Do you use the bank multiple times a day or is one charge a week enough for you? Anker and Belkin hold up way better for me than the no-name stuff - I've had an Anker bank in regular use for over two…

Do you know how your utilities compare to similar apartments in your area? If they're significantly higher, it's worth taking a closer look at the bill - there are often mistakes in there or charges …

One or two are more than enough if you wash them regularly. You really don't need more than that, unless you like going several days without doing laundry. A good black t-shirt lasts forever and goes…

You can bring it up, but you don't have to justify yourself - "health reasons" is perfectly fine. What employers really want to know: are you stable and ready to work now? If so, the gap isn't a big …

I don't watch that much anime, but a couple still hit for me. "Dandadan" has this awesome mix of action, comedy, and genuine feels - really well done entertainment-wise. "Solo Leveling" looks visuall…

I've run into this code myself - P0128 means your engine isn't reaching or maintaining the correct operating temperature. Usually it's a faulty thermostat or coolant issues. Get it checked out pretty…

Have you ever noticed that you need an AI answer to check whether the previous AI answer was correct? That's exactly where the trap lies - you're not just outsourcing your thinking, you're outsourcin…

Check out "The Girl from the Sanatorium" if you're into good German true crime - the series is based on a real case and really pulls you in. Otherwise stuff like "Tatortreiniger" (more dark comedy) o…

I've been searching for a while and ended up going with stainless steel chains - they just hold up way better than those cheap Amazon plastic things. What's important is a proper metal carabiner (not…

You really need the lightest tool you can find - that's more important than the brand. The others are right that Makita and DeWalt offer better value for money than Festool, but they're underestimati…

With USB microphones, I'd really focus on driver support - especially if you ever switch to a different system or want to use Linux later, that can become a problem. The AT2020USB+ is actually solid,…

Building it in without permission is definitely not a good idea. But here's the thing: it's not automatically subject to approval like a wall opening or something - decentralized ventilation systems …

How close do you sit to the TV? If it's really tight on space, a decent soundbar can actually be enough - but a lot of people underestimate how much a cheap subwoofer changes the whole experience wit…

Good feel for details - real studios invest a lot in atmosphere, lighting and sound, which puts your brain under unconscious pressure and distorts time. Online you're sitting in the same everyday env…

There's no fixed standard - you replace them when they stop working properly or when they don't look good anymore. From what you're describing, it sounds like it's time for a replacement: loose outle…

Vinegar essence or citric acid in hot water is your best first solution - just let it sit overnight. For heavy buildup, a mechanical drain cleaner can help too, but I'd try the chemical option first …
