UK has about 70% fiber coverage. Sweden has 97% network gigabit-capable coverage and we have way lower population density.

Cool for them, probably at the number one spot. compare to Canada, Australia, New Zealand

>like something from the 90s

It looks useful and looks good, there's minimal unneeded whitespace and I'm glad it looks as it does. We'd be better off if the entire web switched to a style like this.

As something from the 90s myself, I find this rude.

It's also inaccurate, as this style of page (relating to layout and specific graphic style) didn't appear until 2006ish.

The 1990s web was actually good

I think you are confusing something from the 90 with something from the gov

Looking like something from the 90s would be a feature, not a bug.

In the 90s and early 00s, we did tons of user-testing and feedback collection. We threw all that research away to create UX's that are minimal and "sleek". Tons of unnecessary whitespace and the concept of "Discovery" just thrown into the dumpster. Skeuomorphism was one of the greatest features of 90s-00s software, ironically thrown away as computers got faster and were able to handle the graphics better.

These guys need to look at Gov.uk, this site is a total horror show.

I wish gov.uk was even a smidgen as "outdated" looking as that page.

Yeah it should have a fixed header and footer along with a pop-up consent drawer so you can only see 10% of the actual site content.

So much better.

I work in cybersecurity so that feels quite fulfilling when you constantly secure companies and government against external threats.

Well when you have ideas and thoughts that are not shared by the majority it's no wonder you get downvoted.

Well this seems pretty useless

Renewing cards, don't they just send you a new one in the mail when the old one expires?

For sure. But if I am expecting to receive a new one and a SMS pops up telling me something about the renewal one can get confused and assume the SMS is legitimate.

ICE veichles will start even if it is cold, I live in the far north of Sweden and we often have -30C and the cars start with no problems even if you dont have a heater in it.

This EV test however is barely in cold weather, it gets a lot worse when it's cold.

Yeah, I have never had my car fail to start.

Engine heaters are generally used for long term reliability and comfort. Years of daily cold starts can do problems, but most cars on road can start from cold.

Swedish speed skater Nils Van Der Poel drinks cream and eats crisps, LOTS of it, while training just to get enough calories in his body to continue training so number 1 is faulty.
