I tried to find on that website the equivalents of Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, TSMC, Nvidia, OpenAI, Meta, Broadcom, Oracle but didn't succeed.
Zoom in Veldhoven and then try to see the equivalent of ASML anywhere else.

Heliosmaster commented on 3D printing my laptop ergonomic setup ntietz.com/blog/3d-printi... · Posted by u/kurinikku
I'd cut off the numberpad of my laptop, center the touchpad and what's left of the keyboard. That would be my ergonomic setup.
That laptop served me well but it was a compromise between several factors. I think that at the time there were only an handful of 15" laptops without a numberpad and probably it's still like that. I eventually had to give up on that to get other features.
That's basically what I'm telling folks. My MBP16 is fantastic in that regard. I use the integrated touchpad only
The university should push the maintainance to the holder of the phone? That seems unreasonable.
As mentioned in another comment. Universities already have in house it services. Being able to fix the phone right there with spare parts is likely very cost efficient.
I think the alternative was to contract it out to an IT company rather than push it to the holder. Same as company phones in corporate environments

Not everybody live in house and have enough rooftop area. In Europe majority people live in apartments. If you want to have wind warm and solar farm there is also energy wasted with power lines transmission. Energy powerbanks also have energy waste.
I'm all in to have energy mix and more people to have solar panels if they can but it's not a holly grail
Apart from cities with crazy density, you underestimate how much solar we could put in the city outskirts, and it would be fine. We have already the power lines anyway to bring electricity from power plants that are far from those apartments you mention.
Heliosmaster commented on Ask HN: Cloud vs. Edge Computing–Why Choose a Local NAS? · Posted by u/thunderstruck
## Cloud vs Edge:
- 100% guarantee that the data I care about will still be there.
- Costs. Scaling to a few TB is already quite expensive. Some stuff i still back to the cloud, but only the most important of data (pictures of my son)
## Use Case
- Storage
- VMs/Docker/Apps: Home Assistant, Photos app (Immich, Synology Photos, etc.), and some other small stuff like that
## Performance
Running a few VMs/Docker image requires some power, but not a lot. I like that I can choose how much.
## Storage
I had for a long time a 2-bay NAS and upgraded the drives. I just built a DYI NAS and I got a Massive ATX case which supports 11-bay. Why? Because buying a drive is cheaper than replacing drives. Having an ATX case I can still run it with 2 bays, and I still have a computer case If i change my mind.
Ideal storage is a mix of HDD (WD RED, so optimized to run 24/7), SSD and NVME. Each of them is useful for something (HDD for longer term storage, as they are cheaper per gb), SSD and NVME for apps usage and caches
## OS
I was using Synology DSM, and now I went for Unraid. I'm curious to see where HexOS goes in the next few years.
## Design
I only care about noise.
## Budget
~1000 Eur
Heliosmaster commented on Synology Lost the Plot with Hard Drive Locking Move servethehome.com/synology... · Posted by u/motiejus
TBF, the picture in TFA only shows rack-mounted Synology devices, where noise is not really a concern.
Synologoy SMB/SOHO NAS devices should not be affected by the drive lockdown (for now).
but that's the proposed change, that their Plus lineup which is generally targeted for SMB/SOHO/enthusiast market, will be working only with their drives

he mentioned also Quad9 - Cloudflare DNS replacement. I didn't know about and will probably switch to it. My other picks:
SEARCH: qwant (france)
LLM: mistral (france), librechat.ai, openwebui
VPN: mullvad (sweden), protonVPN (swiss)
AUTH: OpenID (sadly seems like not many sevices implement it)
CLOUD: Hetzner (germany), OVHCloud (france)
MAPS: here wego, openstreetmap
EMAIL: protonMail (swiss), fastmail (australia)
DNS: mullvad (sweden), quand9 (swiss), nextDNS
TRANSLATE: DeepL (germany)
BROWSER: zen-browser, vivaldi (norway)
SOCIAL: nostr, mastadon (germany)
IM: elements (uk), matrix (uk)
EDIT: correction that fastmail is australian
nextdns seems to be a US company, by French founders https://help.nextdns.io/t/y4hmv0n/who-is-behind-nextdns
Thats improv, not standup; granted, one must be agile either way.
Scrum standup, not comedy...
That sounds....huge. I know many working couples where one would probably take that in a heartbeat. You lose some money, but gain more family time and sanity. Having Friday to finish chores and being able to enjoy the weekend unstressed is huge, not to mention clocking out early each day to be able to pick up your kid and not have to get back to work or whatever.
Yep, completely agree. After having our kid both me and my wife work 80% so we have one extra day at home. Huge.
