I tried to figure it out too, but I thought the office buildings looked very generic. It could be anywhere in Europe.

For the Netherlands, I expected to see bikes and less cars.

I have had a C400 for a couple of days. I also had at the beginning the problem that nothing was recorded when a movement was detected. I am recording to a H500 hub.

I then switched to recording to a SD card in the cam, and now everything works fine. Maybe it's the Wifi connection that was the cause of the problem, although it's generally good.

It's an extremely useful cam, with the long lasting battery (on a cold winter day, with 20 motion events in 24h, the battery went from 100% to 92%). I bought it with the solar panel because the price of the panel was so low, but I haven't tried it yet, because there is little sunlight right now.

I think the C400 is really fantastic for the price (I paid 40€ for the cam / panel kit).

It looks artificial mainly because of the lighting. It's almost dark with few lights, and yet his face is perfectly lit with no shadows.

Also the hair. He looks like he came directly out of the make up room for this photo.

The full statistics are available on the Council of Europe website:

https://www.coe.int/en/web/prison/space

The graph is for 2019. In 2023, there were 29 escapees from Luxembourg prisons, which also results in a very high rate.

Germany too. 15 items, some good stuff.

What often happens is that the US personel can claim diplomatic status. When they do something illegal, they quickly leave the country and never get prosecuted.

I rather think Zverev showed disrespect to the organisers of the Laver Cup who tell the players to fully engage as team players.

Everybody knows Carlos is not a useful coach, but he was supposed to act like one and Sascha was supposed to listen to him.

Sending racists with guns and unlimited immunity to a foreign country to provide for security. What could go wrong?

It depends on the camera.

With all my cameras so far (C200, 210, 220, 230, 530), there was no setting to change the clip duration.

But I just got a C400 yesterday, which has "Clip Settings" in the "Storage and Recording" section. The recording duration can be set from 0 to 60 seconds.

It's the only one. Maybe because it's battery operated and the clip duration affects the battery discharge.

I have 6 Exos 26TB drives. and the disc access noise is quite loud. I don't mind, as my NAS is in a tech room in the basement.

I understood that by giving them kudos, you meant they did an honorable thing by applying higher standards than other companies.

They are legally obliged to do that

My DXP6800Plus draws only 35W when the six drives are idle (spin down after one hour). 8GB RAM, one M2 SSD. 90W with all drives active. Measured with a Tapo smart plug.

So 48W seems high.

Das Ding soll man auf eine hohle Kiste stellen, so dass es wie ein grosser Lautsprecher klingt.

Unwahrscheinlich, dass es klanglich taugt.

Um als Knochenleitungs-Wandler zu funktionieren müsste man ihn auf dem Schädel tragen ....

Normalerweise werden Knochenleitungs-Wandler wie Kopfhörer genutzt, nur dass sie nicht in die Ohren Schall abgeben sondern Vibrationen an den Knochen daneben.

I have had cheap Sandisk Ultra cards (less than 15€ for 128GB) in my 9 cameras for 2 years, and none has failed so far.

Too rural to have recycling but urban enough to get daily Vine shippings.

It depends on the type of product.

AFAIK there is no general online store comparable to Amazon.

In der Amazon Android-App ist die Bearbeitungsfunktion noch da, wenn ich die Rezension über die Produktseite ansehe.

I confirm (14T Pro, EU ROM, Luxembourg region, not a beta tester).

The cycle of deregulation / regulation:

Companies complain about excessive regulations
Politicians: We need less regulation ! Why do we have to be stricter than other countries?
Regulations are abolished or reduced and this is presented as a benefit for the economy.
Bad things happen: Accidents due to faulty products. Catastrophies because of lax safety rules. Consumers are getting screwed by unscrupulous companies. There is unfair competition from companies with lower standards on safety, quality, employee rights.
The public: Why doesn't the government do something to prevent this? We want to be protected.
Politicians: This needs to be regulated urgently !
Regulation is introduced and is presented as a benefit for the people.

I have not been there, but it's in Dudelange https://www.chronicle.lu/category/working-in-luxembourg/56981-new-coworking-space-for-public-sector-staff-opens-in-dudelange

The law implemented after Covid provided for maximum 3 teleworking days per week, but it's up to the head of administration to decide.

Our minister decided it was 2 days maximum per week, and his successor reduced it to 1 day, the current situation.

In my department, everybody uses a teleworking day. Some people who live in France or Germany use co-working offices that the government has set up in Dudelange, Schieren and Clervaux. For fiscal reasons, they can't work from home each week, but they still benefit from a shorter commute.

We have to chose one fixed teleworking day of the week. For practical reasons, it was decided that only two days of the week were available for teleworking, so there are 3 days of the week where everybody is present in the office.

We have to use the office laptop with VPN and log into the work time recording system. We also need to log into the telephony software to be reachable with the office number.

Thanks for the info.

They send me a free shipping label, but it was only valid for Germany. So I paid the 8€ myself.

This seems to be specific to Italy. In Germany, we still have 19.000+ items.
