Had a similar problem a couple of years ago. It blew coolish air but the manual warned of ice and I thought "no chance, must be borked". Turned out the unit they shipped had an empty gas canister. Got a new unit under warranty and it makes things nice and frosty. Maybe worth checking?

well spotted thanks for the heads up on that. Should be fixed now.

Estimates on the number of professional software engineers range around 20-35 million, globally.

With GenAI, anyone can instruct an agent to code. That doesn’t make them a professional: but eventually it might force them to hire one when complexity gets out of hand!
