I'll admit I stopped reading around halfway. Maybe earlier.
They switched because their Androids were slow, buggy and had issues.
Yeah. If they would have spent the same amount of money on a high-end Android phone, those issues would have gone away. People are always comparing cheap low and mid-level shits to iPhones. Which is not very fair. Try an S23 Ultra or a Pixel 8 Pro and tell me it's slower than an iPhone.
Anyway, how is your 4th wall doing?
Saw something similar in CERN. I was in the cellars or how can I say it in English, there were giant tubes in endless corridors and was a million degrees there.
I saw an article a couple of years ago that Austria wants to revisit this thing for heating and cooling office buildings because it so much more efficient than individually do this in every building.
Anyway, thanks for the insights and the convo, my friend.
The are very cool indeed (no pun intended). And no AC in the world will ever be this quiet. It's the de facto standard in Hungary, it's hard to find any other setup.
And additional fun fact: there are quite a few apartment buildings and whole neighborhoods here that are heated by a big-ass, central authority/boiler. I mean we don't have our own boilers in the flats, but we receive the heated water through kilometer-long pipes. It's very cheap and efficient. There are some things the socialists did well back then.
And I hope the company will be locked out of tenders for the next 50 years. Minimum.
Nah. Our curtains are hanging over our radiators too. They are not that hot, even on full blown, to actually light anything on fire. It "burns" your fingers, as in you can not touch them, but not in a real, burn wound kinda way.
We regulaly put things on them to dry or e.g. orange peel to have a nice smell in the house.
Edit: if you are not familiar with them: they have hot water circulating in them which is warmed by a central unit somewhere in the house. Nothing electrical there.
You usually know a company is slowly going to shit when they start to be serious and stop doing fun in their products and ads. Then you know lawyers and shareholders and people who think you can only do business with a straight face started to take over the company. Which is just sad.
As the old saying goes: being poor is expensive.
I shower every 2nd day. The 2nd day of Christmas and Easter.
