Re:Why LED Bulbs Don’t Always Live Up to the Hype About Their Life Spans

In my experience LED has a significant worse lifetime than compact fluorescents. Both are about the same in energy efficiency. Expensive LED lamps have a better color rendition than CFL but cheap LED is very bad in light quality. Cheap LED lamps (and LED filament lamps) are also known for horrendous flicker.
I'll be switching back to CFL for the time being, but I hope LED will eventually get equal lifespan and light quality.

I've been using an in-company hosted VDI for years for development work. Latency is not an issue, everything feels like it's a local machine. Even working from home over a modest 30Mbit VDSL line there is no perceptible lag.

I guess I don't plan my life, I'm not even sure what you mean by that. How can you plan your health?
I just coast through life, making decisions if and when needed. I'll never be rich, I'll never be famous. But I'm reasonably happy and I can't ask for more than that.
