Helsinki has many DCs connected to the district heating network, but it isn't realistic in places that don't have an existing network as creating one in the first place is a huge political/nimby issue. Amsterdam has been trying and failing for years.
this is for teams where you don't want to create passwords or keep track of ssh keys for everyone by hand. it greatly simplified our server usage as we can simply ssh user@machine and it just works. you can create access controls for it as well.
You're correct, with Realtek AC97 devices the resampling used to sound absolutely horrendous. Like they picked the worst possible algo. It's not as big of an issue these days though.
A small amount of searching suggests that dvh and svh have semantics on Mobile Safari that are, at best, confusing.
But I think this misses the point. Mobile Safari has a heuristically auto-hiding “toolbar”, and the heuristic is far from perfect, and the toolbar overlays the content, and Safari tries to offer some features that maybe let webpages move their content out of the way when hidden. And the result works poorly sometimes.
Fundamentally, doing a good job of having a control sitting on the section of the screen that shows content and mitigating the risk that the control obscures the content is hard.
There are no financial or career incentives to optimise existing, working things in these institutions. The structures which these large companies use are for people working on new things, so that's what we get. Making office faster doesn't create headlines, but a new product that does the same thing somehow will.
We've used the Tado system with a central boiler and smart radiator knobs for a few years. It's worked fine and hooks up to Home Assistant and can do the things you describe. I'm sure there are some alternatives.
