Wheels the link talks classes good knows what class mine is in.
As a very rough generalisation, any Bluetooth appliance that is more than 5 years old is probably class 1 or 2. Normally such kit would be mains powered as batteries would only last a few hours. Typical of this would be very early rechargeable mice, drawing pads. or toys. Imo most such items are now wifi instead as the range/energy equation favours that choice.
Recent small kit e.g. earbuds etc are almost certainly BLE (class 3).
BL it could be a difference in the receiver between Low Energy BlueTooth and the regular high energy flavour.
@Dave, tbh I was quite surprised that you could ‘get away’ without using a ‘workstation’ graphics card, At one time Autocad and others seemed to be in a conspiracy with GPU manufacturers as they only unlocked some options when workstation drivers were present. These restrictions must have been removed.
What you need is a BlueTooth Repeater (assuming you do not have Wi-Fi headphones), but that will only add another 10-30 feet per Steve’s reply.
I have never wanted/needed one so I cannot recommend a make. If I were buying one, I’d get one from Amazon for easy return if it does not work!
Linky?
If you are drinking more than 2.5 litres/day it might be good to check whether you should be drinking an isotonic solution. (about a quarter of a teaspoon of salt per glass (0.9grms/lire)).
@Wheels, you are assuming that the EU will blink before we do.
Unfortunately we are entering the dangerous phase of negotiation where people throw logic out of the window and just say ‘sod you’. I have certainly seen that happening during Corporate negotiations.
Do they actually do manual ordering, or do they use POS and augment with spot checks? Obviously I do not know, but this link implies that they are rolling out a European SAP integrated system, and that staff are probably spot checking and going in with a ‘clean’ stores inventory number.
Its hard to know exactly where the UK is within Lidl’s overall strategy, my guess is that they are currently on a semi-manual system. If they started their SAP roll-out two years ago they are probably in the middle of their UK implementation right at this moment.
Whatever they do has to be be a lot better than Waitrose which has a near third-world inventory management system! (supposedly integrated but their central warehouses have a totally screwed up picking system, as empty shelves are a common sight)
@VFM — pilferage is one of the major problems that stuffs up a fully integrated sales/reordering system.
Although it is possible to think of ways of using technology such as RFID to monitoring stock being moved around it is probably more cost effective just to do inventory spot checks on the goods that are found to break or ‘walk’ the most, and link shortages with the reordering process. As Lidl only pay bare minimum wages using staff spare time is probably the cost effective route.
“They simply were not allowed to order spares and certainly no growth ‘spares’ without a long convoluted process to gain authority.”
I think you put the finger on one of the major problems that the Civil Service and many other Government organisations face. Throwing systems at a carp manual process is simply a waste of money and adding bureaucratic overhead and reporting rarely improves control . The now almost disused Organization & Methods procedures need to be dusted off and the whole manual process streamlined well before any code is written!
Bob, according to the latest NHS reports if we have a hard Brexit the electorate will not be the same either. There is a real risk of increased deaths with a hard Brexit.
If you are forced to use online medical sources a lot of the cruff can be avoided by including ‘research’, ‘scientific studies’ ‘clinical trials’, scholarly’. etc in your search terms. The https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov site often has bleeding edge dietary research data in it.
“What the hell is going on?!
Simple answer — your eyesight changes with age.
I suspect that you were initially VERY long sighted and the optician gave you glasses that were ‘tuned’ to reading car number plates at 20-30 metres.
You need to get your eyesight checked every 12 months and it sounds like you are overdue! Either that or try and stretch the length of your arms as reading will soon become very hard!?
[edit] joking aside, rapid changes in eyesight can be a worrying sign – get it checked out.
Just to correct false impressions I was not being Luddite in my thinking, however anything that buys time to allow reality to sink into the moribund techno-phobic brains of our politicians would be a good thing.
“It will take people to test, order replacements including doing the (electronic) ‘paperwork’ via a new series of chains.”
Btw over 20 years ago the linking of the General Ledger to purchase order-entry to POS boxes, high-rise automated warehouses and ‘picking’ algorithms pretty much ripped the guts out of that particular business sector. Many companies now only have jobs for a few buyers, replacing the 40 or 50 people who previously staffed that particular job stream — been there and implemented such stuff (SAP ran a lot of it).
I would be very surprised if there are many current eye specialists to be affected by any change.
Corrected!
Rather like Supermarkets introducing automated checkouts and saying that ‘no staff will be made redundant’ this welcome development removes future job opportunities. I would not argue that the numbers affected will be small, but apart from the medical testing overhead the development cost will be low.
My point is not that there will not be a larger number of blue/grey collar automation impacts, just that it would be foolish to assume that a similar percentage of white/educated collars will not be similarly affected. It isn’t just a question of willy-nilly ‘upskilling’ everyone, more a need to closely analyse what action will be most productive. Trite comments such as those made by the Bank’s economist are liable to be dangerous if accepted without question.
With respect to your rhetorical maintenance question, it does not require many bodies just to replace blown components, and I suspect that junking/recycling and printing new parts will replace many traditional technologist/mechanic jobs.
Sorry – too much shorthand. Of course I meant normalise music tracks for specific use in a car.
Unless there are other reasons, I think that I’d leave alone any tracks that are going to be played at home as the use of ‘compressors’ are generally an intentional move by the A/V producer. to increase the ‘attack’ of a sound in (say) drum sequences. (Another more objectionable example of this is the way apparent loudness is increased during TV advertising breaks)
I can understand why you would want to do it in a car, but does ‘normalizing’ screw up audio tracks that were run through a compressor when recorded? I mean this sort of compressor!
Quite honestly Steve I’d place ALL the newspapers in the MurkyDog Group in the same dubious position of honesty. We should never allow foreign scumbags to own our communications media, as they dissemble and push out their own agenda, or that of a foreign power.
Try a little and see if you can tolerate it. Everyone has a different sense of smell, I can still smell it days later.
Wait until the impacts of a hard Brexit are published. Ten years in poverty will gain very few votes!
