they specifically excluded those symbols from the email they sent to German accounts

And even that they fucked up, because it seems like they just removed them from the German language version of the email. German accounts set to English (like mine) got the symbols like everyone else.

Ah, yeah, that’s what I meant. I just assumed that at highway speeds, the additional drag in this scenario probably wouldn’t be enough to warrant shifting down. Although to be fair depending on the engine it totally might, that was just a quick generalization on my part

Yeah for sure. I’m just saying that the engine RPM won’t be affected as the original comment implied. Drag and mpg will definitely be higher.

No, because an engine can use different amounts of fuel even at the same RPM. At the most extreme, a car can go downhill at high RPM with no fuel injection at all, only driven by gravity.

During normal driving, the engine’s crankshaft has a hard link to the wheels. It’s going through a couple of gears etc. inside the transmission etc., but the speed conversion from that is fixed within a single gear. This means that the speed the vehicle is going is directly tied to the RPM the engine is turning at. For every gear, every possible vehicle speed correlates directly to a single specific RPM of the engine. Fuel use at that RPM can vary a lot though, entirely depending on the amount of energy needed to keep the engine at that speed with air resistance and other factors trying to slow the car down through the drivetrain.

Same speed = same RPM, regardless of load / air resistance. Unless they have to drive in a lower gear to make it work, but I doubt that

If you plug a fork in an outlet and shock yourself to death, there’s nobody to blame but yourself for being dumb.

And yet, we still design outlets in ways that make that exact kind of thing as hard as possible. Because there will always be kids who have no idea what they’re doing. Because there will always be old people unfamiliar with the technology that “everyone” should know how to use by now. Because accidents happen.

“Slavic” is not the issue here, it’s the symbols at the end of the subject line. See the rest of the comments.

They’ve said that prescription lens inserts would be available for the steam frame. I have third-party ones for the Index, and they’re great

Maybe that’s a hot take, but I am of the opinion that you shouldn’t need to understand physics for the most basic usage of the device that manages your entire life

The problem is that the average consumer will have no idea what those numbers mean. If it was as simple as “this charger can output up to X watt”, labeling would probably be fine, but as soon as it gets more complicated than that, you’re beyond what most of the population is able and/or willing to deal with

Afaik there is already an exception being made now to exclude Open Source operating systems from this requirement, so seems like anything Linux-based would be fine for now

a team of never sleeping junior devs

As a senior dev, that sounds like my worst nightmare tbh

It is clear if you directly compare the panels, but even then, intellectually knowing that it’s the nose doesn’t bypass the instinctual pattern recognition that tells me “yup that’s a smiling face”. Might be biased because I look a lot at Lego minifigures who have mouths and no noses, but I think in general, humans care more about the mouth than the nose when recognizing faces

And not voting changes the system how, exactly?

Or they could just be caught in the crossfire, like they already have with the RAM shortage

Yeah I’m pretty sure the OP is a reference to that, not an entirely original thought

Eh, disagree on that one. Even if I write every bit of the code myself, producing good working software involves a lot more than just writing code. Just makes “building” feel like a better descriptor.

Heh, that’s quite the ride. Although not that unusual for Linux people, I guess

Thanks for sharing!

What were your issues with dnf?

No, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that if someone wants their argument to be taken seriously, they should be willing to reevaluate parts of it that they’re very obviously wrong about, especially if, by their own admission, those parts don’t even matter in the face of the rest of the argument.

I’m just fed up with people feeling the need to have strong opinions on everything, even if they don’t actually know much about it. It’s fine if you don’t know anything about how capable current LLMs actually are. Especially as an opponent of LLMs for moral reasons, it makes total sense that you’d just be avoiding them and thus not really be that informed. It does not in any way weaken your argument. As long as you seem to have a good grip on what you know and what you don’t know, it’s all good. But being confidently wrong about things and refusing to reevaluate when getting pushback on that just signals that you neither know nor care about the limits of your own knowledge, and makes the entirety of your argument untrustworthy.
