Excel never automatically recalculates. Even if you use RANDOM it will still be the same. But touch the cell and it will be different

I think anyone is allowed to develop a KDE app. You have to go through a process to get accepted for the branding I think. But it not like they spent paid employee time on this afaik.

A good friend has one, also only for one ear. People don’t really notice, I’d say. I don’t think it really restored a lot of hearing but he still wears it usually as it is still better than nothing. He got it pretty quickly after his hearing loss, so no idea how that would be after 20 years. He got them for free through standard health care as far as I know. I don’t think he’d be willing to pay a lot for it if he had to. But I never asked that directly. Not aure if that helps. If you want I can try to ask him some specific questions if I remember to do so.

Don’t have a link to the thread on Mastodon, but it was only in Singapore. So it is likely a troll or some glitch.

Yup, watched a bunch of games I’d never play myself. Especially grindy games. Watching a stream/video is also much less of a commitment, I hate leaving games unfinished.

Anyone in Metal Gear Rising: Revengance of course!

As of a few weeks ago, a lot of ChatGpt logs got leaked via search indexing. So privacy was never really a concern for OpenAI, let’s be real.

And it doesn’t matter what they think what type of platform they run. Altman himself talks about it replacing therapy and how it can do everything. So in a reasonable world he’d have ungodly, personal liability for this shit. But let’s see were it will go.

And that human would go to jail

Well, Wikipedia describes it sufficiently vague: “a database is an organized collection of data”. But is a linked list on its own a database? I’d say the blockchain itself is the data structure but any software using it is most likely a database.

Good summary, a few additions from my side:

• Being public is not required. E.g. banks could form an internal block chain shared only with other banks.
• Blockchains are a database. An immutable and usually distributed database.

Seems a bit jaded tbh. Safari devs were giving tentative support, iirc Mozilla was also down to deprecate further. If you always listened to every user you’d drown in tech debt. Some stuff just isn’t worth it even if 0.5% love that feature.

It is now two years old but this video sums up the challenges faced by Helion and how it is unlikely that they will get anywhere. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3vUPhsFoniw

I won’t disagree that loneliness is an issue in our society. But I don’t think it is the only “problem”. Anecdotally for me: I wasn’t ready to have sex, a relationship or for dating for a long time. So I’m mostly happy to have taken that time. In previous generations you’d marry and have kids for a while at that point. I think we have a lot more room to grow individually today.

Not sure where you got that from. China, Iran and frankly most of the world is still trading with Russia. Either openly or varying degrees of hidden. Otherwise Russia would have collapsed a long time ago.

Well China did subsidize that industry massively, to a point were their domestic market is flooded with very low margins. So the market is already very distorted. But I find it hard to hate on that because flooding the market with electric vehicles and solar panels is better than anything economists are coming up with.

This completely ignores the fact that the AfD is a key part of encouraging that sentiment. They get paid tax money to promote hate and undermine democracy. Millionaires get tax credit by funding them. Media is forced to give them space. All this ends when they’re banned. Will the same people try again and again? Yes, but democracy is about fighting again and again for your rights.

If I didn’t miss it, no wireless charging again… Some one told me they refuse to do it because it wastes electricity. To which I’d say, even just turning on a car probably uses magnitudes more energy than charging my phone wirelessly. I don’t want to mess up the USB C port if I don’t have to, thanks.

Is there even a way to use MS365 office on Linux? Otherwise you kind of have to ditch MS Office anyways. Unless you count the browser version

communication devices in power inverters

Oioioi inverters are not solar panels. Solar panels are usually dumb components. And anyone that is surprised that the component that controls the entire system and has an Internet connection can be shut off remotely is…
