  • Excel

    Jump

  • It's a niche where AI helps because there's just decades of so many forums and videos full of how to do stuff in excel and with AI you get the right answer quicker with less noise around it. I use ai assistance for excel formulas all the time, works pretty good for that.

  • Ukraine trusted the West. Now everyone wants nukes.

    Jump

  • "object of a threat in which nuclear weapons are used". Just the threat of using nuclear is enough for assistance... The vague part is mainly what "assistance" might be. That what is "assistance" part is very vague in NATO too.

  • So many people love to shit on these "commie-blocks" for no real reason.

  • Well, this picture is just poor city development. Living in appartement buildings 3-5-7-9 floors high is all very fine, IF

    • The neighbourhood is (pedestrian) permeable enough. The space around it must be pedestrian/cycle friendly and green. The blocks in this picture are way to wide, forming too big barriers for local slow traffic
    • there is a bit of variation in colour, size, shape. A neighbourhood with such blocks can surely have 4 identical buildings, but not 30... It feels uneasy to humans this way. We need a taller or oddly shaped or nicely coloured one once in a while, as a reference point, as things that give the neighbourhood a bit of an identity
    • The buildings themselves are high enough quality (well insulated, every appartement has 1 or 2 real balconies, ...)
    • there are plenty of playgrounds and sports facilities and cars are in general carparks in garages at the edge of the neighbourhood, not on the streets
    • neighbourhood is well connected to the rest of the city
    • there are plenty of jobs in the area. Probably the hardest part.

    Live Updates on the Global Market: China raises its retaliatory tariff on the US to 84% effective April 10

    Jump

  • Yeah it's a bit nuts that in a "democracy" 1 nutcase has all the buttons and can seemingly decide almost anything by "executive order" outside of parliamentary control, not even fake voting on policy in parliament.

  • Oxford Professor: Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities

    Jump

  • Renewable energy also requires mining, processing, production, waste management... It's still a waste to use energy as if it is free, it never is and never can be, all energy usage has a footprint on the planet.

    Jump

  • The (urban) issue is the space they require when not in use. Public transport and cycling require a lot less parking space. Shared (quick easy short term rental) electric vehicles are quite a good thing too.

  • Live updates: Trump announces sweeping tariffs

    Jump

  • Shit might hit the fan harder and faster in USA, but don't be fooled: Canada and every other country in the world will be gravely affected: less trade, prices inflate, some goods become hard to find at all at any price, etc. US $ after all is the big reserve currency and all international trade was de facto protected by US military hegemony. Probably countries like North Korea or Iran will see least influence from all this.. It's insane to watch this happening. Their main goal really just seems to be to create chaos. And from chaos... rises whatever authoritarian state they want to create after declaring some state of emergency shit and after the superwealthy gobbled up all the failing companies at bargain prices. It's like they're organising a reenactment of the "shock therapy" that crashed the Russian economy on a speedrun after the soviet union fell apart.

  • [help] Cheap SSDs for storage

    Jump

  • SSD's as far as I know mainly degrade from writing, not so much from reading or idling. If you fill an SSD, delete all files, write again, delete, etc, that is when they can wear out fast. If you're just stacking on top slowly filling it and occassionally reading from it, it should theoretically last for many years. I don't buy brands i've never heard about before and I read many customer reviews. Slightly higher price for way better reviews wins. Reviews like "it's too slow" are not very relevant to me. Reviews like "I used it twice, got very hot and smelled like fire, broke, lost all my data": those are the important ones. I never buy latest generation tech, I buy older generations. They're cheaper, but more importantly they have more review information available about what you can expect from it slightly longer term.

    I avoid buying anything from aliexpress, amazon, ... out of principle, don't want to support those foreign (Europe) giants. Any other webshop might get my order if they seem okay to me.

  • Germany decides to leave history in the past and prepare for war

  • No we weren't! - Belgium.

  • Why plans are already in motion for a Trump third term – no matter what the law says

    Jump

  • Laws put in place or abolished also pave the path for the next tyrants.

  • Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees

    Jump

  • Teams is fine for video calling and screensharing. The mess begins when organisations, as MS encourages them to do, try to embed everything there is into teams. Then it can very fast become a black hole where no one finds anything anymore

  • Pandora's box is open. Thanks Putin. Thanks Trump. EU can't do nothing... We're heading to more war and disorder either way. Not only more new nukes, also higher chances of them being used again which is even more scary.

  • Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

    Jump

  • That ease of outside LAN access poses a big risk tho. Plex can and eventually probably will share, be forced to share, get hacked etc Those cloud accounts imply the possibility of very detailed reports about who's streaming what, when, where, from which source...

  • It's quite easy without docker to get lots of it running with a dietpi install. Runs on rpi and alike, but also on any "normal" old low end pc. Just select jellyfin, arrs, ... It handles it all for you, no need to learn Docker (I know people will argue about the advantages of docker, which are valid points, but ease of installation is more important to many people). The only difficulty remains the streaming outside your own LAN (because it's risky). VPN, tailscale, ... there's options but it always keeps on feeling risky to open up outside LAN. Local setup for jellyfin can be really really easy tho, if it's just for yourself and you mostly watch at home anyway... And in some jellyfin compatible app like Finamp and Streamyfin you can just download a few music albums, episodes or movies to your phone before you travel...

  • Help me choose hardware for my first custom setup

    Jump

  • Purchase in your region so you can have a look at it and back out if hardware looks damaged, very dirty or not well handled by previous owner. 2nd hand is usually fine for most hardware, people sell because they upgrade or because win11 not supported, not because it's broken.
