Buy European@feddit.uk•Europe's $24 Trillion Breakup With Visa and MastercardEnglish
15·6 days agoYeah. It’s a step forward from the country specific systems like Swish, BLIK etc. but who knows how it will handle edge cases. Plus if they really want it to challenge Visa and Mastercard it should be available globally.

Yes I have an hp elitedesk mini 800 something G2 which is small (like a thin client), runs kubuntu just fine and can do everything you are asking for. I have a logitech k400 wireless keyboard and trackpad to control it

2·2 months agoN/L are “reversed” on the UK BS1363 standard vs US/EU Earthed plugs. By having two sets of N/L you can ensure that they are always correctly wired.
This is often why some adaptors seem to be “upside down”
Most devices can handle N/L being swapped, though.
Technically surtitles?

No idea where the term “Engine Topper” is from but I assure you it’s called a Head Gasket in the UK…

2·2 months agoLikewise interested to know how they compare. I have a now ancient pair of QC 35 IIs and they were replaced under warranty from original QC35s - sadly the charging connector now has a fault where something in the circuitry stays active, the charging light stays on all the time and it drains the battery quite quickly compared to how it used to. It’s not the power switch. Just one board as a spare part is very expensive so I just live with reduced battery life.
I guess that’s the faults these should solve - if a replacement connector or board is sensibly priced then you’d fix them rather than having to manage as-is, or worse, recycling.

So May next year I think that ends.
I can’t see it being removed before then, since it’s presumably quite lucrative for GTR
