The headline margin of error only applies at the centre (50%), and decreases towards the extremes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margin_of_error#Specific_margins_of_error

Wikipedia says that for a poll with 1013 participants and the same headline margin of error, a 2% result would be ±0.8%.

It's more likely that this is the crowd who deliberately gives the most absurd answer possible.

There should be no need for tuning, tweaking, or optimizing on functionality this basic.

If you ask the processor, it will spit out a graph like this telling you what threads/cores share resources, all the way up to (on large or server platforms) some RAM or PCIe slots being closer to certain groups of cores.

HDMI and DP do not carry their signals in the same way. HDMI/DVI use a pixel clock and one wire pair per colour, whereas DP is packet-based.

"DisplayPort++" is the branding for a DP port that can pretend to be an HDMI or DVI port, so an adapter or cable can convert between the two just by rearranging the pins.

To go from pure DisplayPort to HDMI, or to go from an HDMI source to a DP monitor, you need an 'active' adapter, which decodes and re-encodes the signal. These are bigger and sometimes require external power.

Turning that instinct off when going through security screening, customs, or biosecurity is usually a good idea.

I'm talking about the 'electric kick scooters' - the speeds and power levels are comparable to or lower than e-bikes, but how you use them is different.

Mopeds/vespas shouldn't be in a bike lane.

Biggest question to me is why you need an IP in the first place?

They're on sale here in NZ and seem pretty popular.

Have you considered emailing/PMing the developer? Especially with a donation?

Running APKs from random people is not the best policy.

That's the point. If the US could get spend less on healthcare, and get universal healthcare at that lower cost, then what does the amount being spent on the Ukraine war have to do with healthcare?

I'm not certain exactly what you're referring to, but my experience is that KDE has almost everything built in.

Compared to the 700km claimed range (which seems very optimistic), that implies you would need to let the car sit for two weeks to charge on solar alone - more if the weather is not totally perfect or there is any shade.

So if you're wanting to do a multi-day road trip, it's of stuff all use. You're going to be relying on the big battery and the grid; the solar is a rounding error.

If you're planning to do <50km/day commuting/shopping etc... please don't get an off-road SUV tank, and probably not anything with 700km of range. Get something that weighs half as much and put 5x as much solar on your roof. It'll still be cheaper overall and the panels will last longer.

If you're actually in the small segment that needs off-road capability and an SUV (say, a farm run-around), congratulations. Definitely don't get a car with solar on the roof because it will immediately be covered in dust, and the minor dents and whoops-a-small-tree-fell-on-it will break the panels in the first year. You also probably want to park it in the shade wherever possible.

Again, stick 5x the panels on the garage roof and get something cheaper.

Likely a combination of past posts and a formulaic username. Watch this space.
