I have an 8-wire phone line (twisted pair) between floors. I connected it with an RJ45 socket and it connects at Gigabit speed.

If you only have four wires available, it will usually still work at 100 MBit.

Wow, that is very expensive. Yeah, we're are having a second solar boom here, I installed a second small 2 kWp system on our garden shed for about 700 €. I'm adding a small 5 kWh battery on top so we can use all this generated energy.

I'm in my 13 year and with 10 kWp I'm still generating a maximum of about 8000 W on warm days (which lowers the efficiency). I don't know any neighbours or friends who have had to replace a module.

Are you sure about not breaking even with Solar panels? Here in Europe modern Chinese panels with 450 Wp can be bought for about 50 € a panel. These panels last 20 years without problems. Even just installing 5 of them will lower your electricity bill by a lot (and can be done by yourself if you have little knowledge of electricity).

Using a thin microfibre cloth between keyboard and screen prevents this.

The only way to find out would be in the Whois data, which is anonymised. The provider and registry will still have at least your billing information, but without a court order no user will be able to get it from them.

If you are publishing from your own (German) domain in Germany, you will need to add an impress with your personal address.

Get a .com domain from a provider with Whois privacy and don't add an impress. Done.

It's 27% for BYD and it was introduced end of October 2024, I guess it had no big effect on sales.

Germany: 2.891 new BYDs compared to 232.886 new BMWs in 2024. I haven't seen one yet, even though I usually check for new cars.
