What kind of AI written nonsense is this. No sources to back up their claims. Made up percentages that seem way too specific. Obviously bad IoT devices can do bad things but claims like these require something to back them up.

Look, if you’re too lazy to set your alarm clock to a time that works for you that’s fine, but why make other people suffer for your preferences? We have timezones for a reason, arguments like yours are what started the DST madness in the first place.

3/4? That’s fucked up, over here it’s roughly half and it’s still too much. Anyway, for specific areas there might be reasons to deviate from the timezone you’re supposed to be in, but for most people it is the best option. Over here (NL) our default timezone is already one hour too early, so adding summer time on top of that means we’re two hours out from where we’re supposed to be.

While DST is indeed nonsense and we should abolish it ASAP, please go back to your actual timezone and not something that is the very modification we shouldn’t have, i.e. summer time.

PostgreSQL shitting itself is generally a hardware problem. I’ve had it “detect” faulty RAM modules in a few cases in the decades I’ve been using it.

It is. On their YouTube channel there’s a very interesting Q&A on their event earlier this year, here: https://youtu.be/os_fHy1mB_M There was a question specifically about making a smartphone. They explained it was very unlikely they’d ever do that and explained their reasoning behind it, so I’d highly recommend watching the video of you’re interested in how they think.

Fair, although it’s less open than it appears at first glance. The world is divided in parts that you unlock as the central story progresses, much like most RPGs.

Hell no, Mad Max was way more fun than it had any right to be. I’ll agree that on paper it didn’t look like anything special, with mechanics we’d seen lots of times in other games, but in practice everything came together as much more than the sum of it’s parts.

Elite Dangerous has been doing exceptionally well in the past year because FDev finally realised it’s a live service game and started to act like it in a way that actually aligned with what the user base wanted. So what you’re saying isn’t true any more.

Millions of Steam Decks and their ilk have been sold, and run games significantly better on SteamOS than their Windows counterparts, to the point that Microsoft is reportedly cancelling their own gaming handheld plans. Not a massive challenger to the Switch 2 for most ordinary people, but things are definitely changing.

EVs are at their heart really simple machines. You have a battery, a battery controller, some kind of thermal management for the battery (can be passive but active is better), and an electric motor that isn’t much more complex than the one in your vacuum cleaner. All these parts are readily available, so you can easily convert an ICE car to an EV with parts you can buy yourself. For some popular cars there are even kits available these days, and conversions of old-timers are really taking off. If there’s a kit with clear instructions a conversion can sometimes even be done in a single day.

An ICE car is literally orders of magnitude more complex. There are far more parts, far more computers to control all those parts (in a modern car that is), far more cabling to connect all these computers and far more opportunities for things to go wrong. ICE cars even spontaneously catch fire more often because of all the cabling and complexity.

You’re probably thinking of a few specific brands, like Tesla, that are very hostile towards self-servicing, and in those specific cases you are right. But most EVs from established car manufacturers are just as proprietary or non-proprietary as their ICE brethren, just with less complexity and less parts. And of course older cars that don’t have any computers in them are immune to this specific kind of complexity as well.

How is this different from any other modern car?

Yeah it’s insane how much easier EV’s are to maintain. Almost no wear or consumables.

I see an Akira screenshot, I upvote.

Steam downloads consistently saturate my 1 Gbps connection, but it’s still fast enough for me. Had it a year now, still not really used to things going that fast.

I was using the cookie lists but I stopped using them due to the aforementioned problems.

Poorly. WSL is awesome but it’s I/O performance is not at a level which will make developers on bigger projects happy.

Disabling uBO, dismissing the cookie pop-up and then re-enabling uBO usually works, but is a lot more work than just running Consent-O-Matic in the background.

You’re not wrong, but in my experience those lists cause some sites to not work anymore, the whole site will stay dark waiting for the cookie pop-up for example, or you can’t scroll. I still use uBO to block ads but Consent-O-Matic gives me a better experience on those sites.
