I actually saw some stuff potentially like that from some Chinese (?) place called LILYGO fwiw.

The way the term "sideloading" suddenly popped up for things like apps and ebooks to make it sound like a weird, special thing has always bothered me. It's just installing an app and putting a ebook on your reader.

Hear, hear!

I do have very low heating needs. I doubt it's even possible for the apartment to drop under 17 degrees or so as long as the downstairs neighbors live in whatever kind of tropical temperatures they do. Besides the occasional push from the furnace all heat pretty much comes from our computers and ourselves (and that's really not much at all), enough to lift it to probably about 18.5.

I'd be worried about it overheating?

Same. Search for something like fingerless gloves or mittens. By keeping your wrists properly insulated your hand/fingers don't get cold but you can still use them pretty much as normal.
I use them occasionally if I get cold hands.

That doesn't necessarily mean they disappeared, although chances are probably better that they did than didn't. Google has increasingly started incorporating recency in how it ranks search results, so if it's more than a few years old it'll fade away from Google results regardless if it's still around or not.

Where, in France? Considering they are employees in the Benelux I find that implausible. Especially considering that the OP is about a French court saying that Uber was just trying to find a loophole so they wouldn't have to treat their employees like any normal taxi company.

No… no, they don't. O-o

Are you arguing from the framework provided by a presumably not Western European legal system?

Such an all or nothing approach sounds slightly peculiar, to put it in the nicest terms possible.

You're clearly not from a place that has tourists… ;-)
Service industry in general of course, but tourists vary even more depending on the weather and whatnot.
