  • Some tech-related things I personally use instead of their american counterparts

  • In this case, I think the creator just avoids Telegram, for good reason:

    It’s not E2EE encrypted by default.

    The list is not named appropriately “US etc” but it’s not a bad list either

  • VARTA - Batteries Made In Germany

    Jump

  • *most are made in Germany

    VARTA does have batteries produced outside of Germany, usually more niche types though. It’s always labeled on the front if actually made in DE, if not explicitly stated, it’s usually China.

    Edit: I still rate them, if the type of battery I need happens to be made in DE I always get the Varta variant

  • They're not what they pretend to be!

  • When it comes to music streaming, it’s a little simplistic to state only their COO, also important to note how much each service pays out to the artists (many of whom are European). Tidal is originally Norwegian but due to financial difficulties now has majority ownership by Block Inc. its true, but it also has one of the highest per stream payouts to artists.

    Qobuz does too, and that’s a French company.

    Ofc music streaming in general is never going to compensate artists as much as buying a CD/Vinyl/Tape or going to a concert.

  • What are the options for a European WiFi access point?

  • WiFi 6 works fine on OpenWRT, you can check if your specific hardware would be supported here: https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_available_16128_ax-wifi

    EDIT: although, for OpenWRT I’d recommend a router with openwrt with a separate WiFi AP (Zyxel makes good ones) as opposed to bundling them all in one.

  • Reminder that an alternative for Starlink is needed, exchange between Musk and the Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs

  • I still like this meme

  • Yes but it also reopens everything exactly as you left it, meaning you can update and not loose anything mission critical; ymmv ofc but in my personal experience MacOS has the best update experience from mainstream OS

  • Fair point and good call out!

    I always assume that we have the sense to double check any recommends.

    On a related note, I believe that due to the nature of FOSS and it being “borderless” that those alternatives should also be relevant.
