There is also the option to do half bins / half grid pattern at the edge. So you have the normal 42x42 grid pattern, then on one edge there are 21x42 sized boxes. There are a number of designs that support the half grid pattern. This would reduce your maximum lost space down to 20mm, and you would still have compatibility with the gridfinity system.

I’ll have to give this a shot. I can always put the generic bins I can generate as half size on the edge and put the downloaded ones in the standard grid.

Or print a custom spacer to fill any gaps you have on the edges that also has holes or slots to hold even more random crap.

It really depends on a lot of factors. For example if you have solar, how well insulated your house is, etc.

I am currently renovating a house in Germany and had a quote for a heat pump system and a quote for a central gas heating system. The heat pump system was quoted at 66.000€, it would however be reduced by 24.750€ to 41.250€ as the government is currently giving a subsidy for these systems. The Gas system was quoted at around 18.000€.

Both of the quotes included removing the old Oil Heating system and disposing of it. The Gas System included the price of connecting to the cities gas supply.

I went with the Gas System, as not only the install would be cheaper, the running cost would also be substantially cheaper. Some electricity providers have a seperate tariff for heat pumps that is marginally cheaper. However even then my calculation was that a Heat Pump would only have a comparable running cost if I also invested in a large Solar install on the Roof.


The filing mentions the Foundation multiple times?

> Raspberry Pi is a subsidiary of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, a UK charity founded in 2008, with the goal of promoting interest in computer science among young people. Raspberry Pi has distributed approximately $50m in dividends to the Foundation since 2013, which has been used to advance its educational mission globally.


I have first hand experience with not being able to get RPis for educational purposes while the employers I worked for were ordering them by the 1000s.

These discussions are missing the larger point which is that it feels the .com side of Rpi is eating away at the original mission of the company.

Fun fact. E Upton long ago resigned from the board of the original (charitable) Raspberry Pi company and set up the commercial company now known as Raspberry Pi.


Sounds about right and this is exactly the sort of thing I suspected would happen from the start.


The article is talking about his private fortune. The fortune of the royal family/the monarchy/the crown is of course much larger.

The parent I was replying to was explicitly mentioning the wealth of the royal family, not just the king.


Usually for big supermarkets they are changed over a radio frequency. So they do not need people to go around and manually program them.

You can also do cool time limited actions without having an employee go and manually change prices. For example in Kaufland stores in Germany at 19:00 the price of the Fruit and Vegetables is automatically reduced.

I would hate to put something in my cart that was $5 at the time I put it into my cart only to have it be $8 by the time I get to the till.


That's not how time limited actions work.

In most of Europe at least there are strict laws on pricing so if you make a discount, it can't just time out after 10 minutes, it needs to last the end of the business day or until the stock is depleted.

These stric pricing regulations is probably why electronic shelf labels were invented in Europe, to make sure there will be no discrepancy between the price on the shelf/discount and the price on the register, otherwise the store is liable.


Which in turn makes dynamic pricing even less attractive for the shop.

If they decrease the price, then there are some shoppers with the item currently in their cart who will pay less for the item than they expected to pay.

But the reverse is disallowed by law.

Which means that for every price change, the shop effectively loses out a little. Better not change prices too frequently!


The idea is to do a discount towards the end of the day to help clear stock that would otherwise go to waste because it has a short shelf life. Supermarkets do this all the time, but it generally involves an employee going around manually relabelling produce.


Or more likely in many cases, putting up temporary discount signs to be collected at the end of the day.

Still a time-saver to automate.


They do have a fiber model[0]. However as someone else mentioned most ISPs provide a modem with Fiber, and you put your router behind it.

The article mentions that the FIFA license only includes rights to the name, logo and rights to the World Cup.

The player and teams name, likenesses and logos are governed by licenses with other organisations.


Btw since Raspberry Imager version 1.6 there is a hidden advanced options menu. It can be opened with ctrl+shift+x. This GUI allows you to set WiFi and SSH options. So you don't even have to manually create the /ssh and /wpa_supplicant.conf files.

Your business is currently an android + ios app in a sector Stripe finds to be "high-risk". Stripe can't guarantee you're not going to later sell your software/product directly using Stripe, thus a risk of chargebacks.

If you're signing up to Atlas because you want to access Stripe for payment processing then you are out of luck it seems.

If you're signing up because you need a US LLC then you have other options that are more complex but would get you the same result. Have you considered using a service like LegalZoom (Not affiliated and have never used it so can't speak to how good they are) to incorporate your LLC?


AFAIK they will generally only do it if the account is inactive. Were you actively using the twitter handle?
