I have it running on a Pi 5 (although a Pi 4 is more then enough), with a 15€ USB ZigBee antenna from AliExpress (to connect IKEA devices).
The best thing about it is that it seamlessly integrates all devices with each other, so you can use cheap ZigBee buttons to control your Philipps Hue lightbulbs, for example.
Always online cars are mandated by EU regulations, and for a very good reason: automated emergency calls including GPS coordinates in case of crashes.
Other nice benefits include regular map updates.
That said, there is a lot of garbage being attached to the online functionality nowadays. And the way data is collected and handled in the background it at least partially atrocious, so let’s attack that instead of the proverbial baby in the bathwater.
Also quick shoutout to lollipop Sanji.
People tend to underestimate the need for speaking German in Germany though. Depending on your location and social circle, you might not need much of it day to day. But certain administrative stuff definitely requires a decent understanding (and you really don’t want to misunderstand letters from the government).
Afaik, TEMU is only a broker between hundreds of exporters and the customer (who is also the importer). Banning the exporter of basically useless, they just reopen under a new name.
Of you press up/down right after left/right the window will be a quarter of the screen instead of half.
On Windows 11, you can also just drag towards the top, and it’ll give you different snapping options.
Best we can do is allowing people to call Höcke a “right-wing extremist” without being sued for defamation.
Sure, but despite all the crypto bros assurances to the contrary, the only real-world applications for it is buying drugs, paying ransoms and getting scammed. Which means that any non-zero amount of energy is too much energy.
Tbh, that would have been extremely simple to come back from: Fire his ass. The issue is that they didn’t.
(Inb4 someone says they cannot fire him for some legal or contract reason: That is a major red flag in and of itself)
Both iPhone and Android have ways to disable biometrics until the next unlock via password/code.
Iirc, on iPhone, it was pushing the power button 5 (or 7?) times. On Android, long press the power button and select “lock”.
Yeah, I hate it when people don’t use the simple shortcut Win+Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L to open LinkedIn!
I’ve noticed Chinese people doing this often. I assume that it’s to do with Chinese keyboard layouts.
I still cannot use special characters in filenames, 40 years of Windows OSes in.
That’s a good thing IMO. The benefits of using special characters in this specific case are slim, but the repercussions for every single programming language that ever touches file or folder names (i.e. basically all of them) are pretty big.
Like seriously, I’d wager that entire companies might crawl to a stop because Bernice in accounting put a “/” into some important excel file name.
Moscow has 11 million inhabitants. That’s half the Soviet losses in WWII, which were insanely high.
It’s about the total losses of the Axis powers over the spam of the entire war.
What the fuck are you talking about?
That sounds like a reasonable amount of nukes. If the threat of losing one or two major cities isn’t deterrent enough, were in absolute lunatic territory anyways, and no amount of more nukes will deter any further.
Forums: great store of knowledge and friendly, helpful people. If you ask a question in discord, nobody will ever see the answer again.
The search functions in forums are notoriously terrible though (although someone will inevitably ask you to try using it), so finding anything useful relies on “outside” search engines.
And the linear thread format has been terrible since it was invented (which is probably why discord uses it). You basically need to ignore half the posts to follow the one interesting side line that might end up with a solution.
One thing Amazon is better at (at least here in Germany) is free shipping. But seeing how that is a least partially responsible for creating a cutthroat delivery market, where companies contract out delivery work to barely self-employed drivers for barely any money, paying for shipping doesn’t seem like a bad idea (even though I know the drivers won’t really see any of that money in the end)
There’s an archive of books belonging to a certain anna, which has not failed me yet.
I’m fairly convinced that the main proponents of nuclear energy is the construction industry. 20+ year construction jobs in a highly regulated area (a perfect excuse for any sort of delay)? You don’t get those very often.
This goes doubly for Italy, where a significant part of that industry has a mafia issue.
To be fair, this is most likely because the pope is not well at all. It wasn’t even clear if he would be able to give the traditional easter blessing himself, which is significantly higher in the Vatican’s priority list than a meeting with the US second in line of succession.
