Most EU countries are single payer healthcare. Businesses develop the software, but it’s vetted by a government entity before acceptance.

EID and equivalents are great for a lot of things, but do you want your porn site to know who you are? The new app is supposed to verify your age but not give out your PII. Not sure eID can do that?

But you also want to get humidity out of air so it’s still a perk

Might work better where it’s more humid. Might bring humidity to more bearable levels if you have a lot of them?

- Comment on introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server 3 days ago:
You can run absolutely anything as a docker container that you have the binary (and other files if needed), or you can go fancy and compile from source in docker.
Just create a dockerfile.
From (some base image you want to use like Ubuntu or Alpine)
Copy necessary files
Run the binary
You can run it straight from command line, put it in a docker compose file, or even tag it and upload it to a repository (and then reference that in your docker compose)

- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Stops Mid-Intersection After Running a Red Light… The Influencer Onboard Calls It “Impressive” 4 days ago:
With 8 or 9 speeds, you still never really leave that ideal torque band while driving, no modern engine is so peaky that you’re off peak torque after 100 rpm. The rubber banding sounds/feels weird to me too, even though it’s not inherently bad.
Turbo cars in particular have very long flat torque curves.
Also, what IS the sweet spot? Just like on an auto, it’s software that determines what ratio to use in a CVT. Software is not infallible. Sure they test it, but at the end of the day there’s several factors to balance. There is no “ideal”.
Seriously. If you’re looking for a new car, don’t discount them. Research them. They swap the ZF 8HP into monstrous builds now because of its ability to take shit and its ability to put power into the wheels. ZF engineers managed to make it shift better, have more gears, be more fuel efficient… and at the same time, be more reliable AND contain fewer parts than their outgoing 6 speed. The 9G-tronic is just as good if not better, but only available in Mercedes and very few other cars (Nissan 400Z, Astons). I had one and it made my 2 liter 143kW diesel feel faster than my current remapped 3 liter diesel around 200ish kW.
For my next automotive mishap, I’m considering either the ZF or Aisin 8 speed mated to a V8. Haven’t tried the newer Aisin box yet, but the 6 speed in my first gen Cayenne S was the most solid part of the car lol. I’ve got two terrible ideas and one great idea lined up but since the great idea is a Lexus, it means twice the fuel consumption and less comfort than the horrible ideas. The Lexy is also available as a hybrid with CVT and more power but everyone said its the worse car despite being way more expensive than the 8 speed auto non-hybrid

What’s the reasoning behind CVTs being the only non-manual transmissions you’d consider?
They lack the nice feel of manuals and the reliability of modern automatics. Have you tried an 8HP or 9G-Tronic? Either one will last you a long time and shift so smooth during relaxed driving that you can’t tell it’s going through gears.
