Air to water heat pumps (which usually are used in Germany) should be quite cheap nowadays. Maybe they tried overcharging you or a significant rework was required?
The main problem with IPv6 is that it is different from IPv4. There's SLAAC, there's no ARP and there're also some other differences. In the end, it's simpler to just not bother.
Studio apartments seem like a better option. Also, from a property manager’s perspective, you generally want to minimize shared spaces because they’re a pain and annoying to deal with.
Isn't it also the fact the almost no one wants to live like that? The expectations has changed and there's probably little demand for such type of housing.
The AI is going to replace most of the office workers in the next few years, the office buildings are going to be worth as much as the land they are built on is minus the cost of demolition.
There are no subsidies, gas and diesel are the most expensive in the world, and most of the cost is taxes. But apparently, for the EU politicians, that is still too cheap, so they want even more taxes on top of that.
Average salaries for software engineering seem higher compared to other professions because the jobs are mostly in the most expensive to live cities. There's no swe jobs in smaller towns but they're jobs for e.g. accountants.
Actually the prices for new cars seem to be now lower than in 2022 where I live in Europe. Though this could be attributed as well to the competition from Chinese manufacturers.
All the ideas and regulations introduced by the European Union over the last 10 years regarding cars have been bad, they have done more harm than good and have unnecessarily increased car prices. We should return to the standards from 10 years ago, they were more reasonable and based on common sense. But I guess this is the consequence of politicians and bureucrats living in the ivory tower.
It's not only the price of gas but also the price of the co2 emissions. I'm really surprised the uk didn't get rid of it when they left the eu. It's one of the most stupid things possible. It only makes everything more expensive.
The way the EU forces the electricity market to operate makes them completely unprofitable. Renewables are always given priority in the market, which results in other power plants operating at a capacity factor of 30-40%. Since nuclear power plants are mostly capital expenditure-intensive, this makes the electricity they produce absurdly expensive.
In some countries, it's common to register a sole proprietorship in addition to a limited liability company and bill the company from the sole proprietorship to avoid double taxation. However, I suppose this would not be allowed in Germany.
Not allowing to move the taskbar to a side was inconsiderate to begin with. Most screens are 16:9 so the vertical space is at premium while the horizontal space is often wasted anyway.
