Look at McDonald's, ahead of its time with that lovely WST Level 2 orange! ❤️
Switching it DAB+ is great. It makes better use of the available spectrum.
Adding in extra stations at the same time is such a shame. The audio quality of commercial DAB stations in the UK is so far from "Crystal clear digital sound" that we were promised.
I agree. This website has been very useful and encouraging on my language learning journey.
Does the fifth cyclist only cycle at the velodrome?
I've often thought cold fizzy drinks or bottles of water on hot days
Technically, no, as in the UK, you can't steal electricity... you can only abstract electricity, which is an offence in its own right. (IANAL)
I'll get my coat.
I was so annoyed to get that email. Never using them again. Going to install a non-smart wireless thermostat, or maybe a HA install if I'm feeling brave.
Thank you for letting me know! I didn't realise that it had connectors at all. I'm looking forward to checking it out tomorrow :) Cheers!
That is good news. I have to draw a lot of diagrams and I find myself stuck between a few tools, none of which is perfect. Any one of those that improves is a great thing!
- Draw.io is brilliant for quickly creating stuff, but you can't easily reshape shapes
- Visio is ok, but for software that aims to be diagram -focused, compared to draw.io, its connectors are appalling
- Affinity designer is good, and not too expensive, but the lack of (outline+text*) objects (compared to draw.io and visio) quickly becomes a pain with complex diagrams. Plus complete lack of support for variable fonts is a showstopper for me.
- I was really pleasantly surprised by inkscape when I tried it again the other year after many years of not using it. It's really come along and improved. I know its not intended for diagrams, so dynamic connectors and (outline+text*) shapes aren't there. If they were, it would be the perfect tool.
I'm looking forward to trying out the new features of this release.
*When I say (outline+text) I mean a shape with text in it that isn't two separate objects I have to wrangle with careful alignment or grouping etc. If you don't know what I mean, take a look at how easy it is to put text in shapes in draw.io compared to inkscape
Not quite a direct answer, but since watching Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, we've enjoyed referring to things in tins/cans as trapped potatoes, trapped beans etc.
To build on this good answer, there's an additional factor: How well a receiver can make use of the signal it receives.
I have both an old and a newish DAB radio. One can decode the audio pretty much anywhere in our home. The other only has stable reception if I put it by the window. It's the same signal, but it's not strong enough for the old DAB radio in most places at home.
Edit: This may be true for different FM radios too, but less noticeable as FM doesn't have a "digital cliff" where the decoding just fails as ~~seen~~ heard on DAB. Plus, DAB is comparatively new technology... Oldish FM radios still have decades of techy wisdom in their design, whereas as of today, old DAB radios haven't had the benefit of time for the engineers to optimise their design.
