  • Although, these stats are people who would consider giving up cars, among those who currently own one.

    People who don’t need a car and already don’t have one won’t appear in these figures

    If you imagine the perfect fictional country, then for that country the bar chart should theoretically be at 0% - because that would mean everyone who doesn’t need a car doesn’t have one, and anyone who does own a car needs it very strictly for jobs only a car can do, no matter how good the transport infrastructure and planning and zoning are.



  • I have a portable monitor that I’m pretty pleased with.

    It has a magnetic cover that goes over the screen to keep it safe, and that same cover folds and goes on the back to act as a stand when it’s in use. Power and video are via the same USB-C cable.

    Nice and slim and stays in my bag most of the time but when I want a second screen I can whip it out in two secs.

    A screen that attaches to the laptop sounds convenient initially, but I feel like in practice it would be a hindrance and make your laptop clunky and bulky.

    In the UK at least, mobile phone ownership per household was only 16% in 1996 and didn’t reach 50% until the year 2000.

    To have a phone in '92 you’d need to either be wealthy or have it through a company for business.

    My dad had a phone in 95 for work and it was an absolute brick.

    As for mobile internet, that wasn’t really a thing until smartphones happened with the iPhone. Yes we had WAP and other precursors to the full internet but it was awful and nobody used it, ever. In 2007 I was a geeky nerd at uni doing Comp Sci and had a Windows Mobile PDA in a belt holster, with full internet! But most people didn’t have Internet until about 2009-10













  • If there isn’t a single hint of life it does sound like PSU. If something is defective and going to die, then it’s liable to do it sooner rather than later, brand new or not. Unlikely from Seasonic but these things happen.

    Could be motherboard. Could also be something silly like the front panel header for the power switch came off!

    Not applicable if you are US, but if you are in a country that has individually fused plugs, like the UK, then check the fuse in the power cable or use a different one.

    Good luck!
