  • Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal

    Jump

  • Germany, progressive? Have you ever lived there? I'm amazed they even use web browsers enough to notice now, compared to their fax machines.

  • how can i decide what language to learn?

    Jump

  • I'd learn Mandarin but it's very hard.

    I learnt Spanish and use it every day, it is easy.

  • Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still Drifting

    Jump

  • Tears of the Kingdom is one of the best games ever made, shame they keep it exclusive though.

  • Must fight temptation to buy an overpriced raspberry pi

    Jump

  • Yeah, the Pi moving to full computer thing is weird because the SD card is still a massive bottleneck on normal day-to-day usage.

  • Will you use a separate flight controller chip or try to do it all on board?

  • Must fight temptation to buy an overpriced raspberry pi

    Jump

  • It's been a while but I remember Orange Pi having terrible support? I haven't heard of the others.

    Whereas the RPi has the amazing compute module if you need it too.

    Sometimes paying more is better.

  • Which communities are good for finding some people to talk to whether its out of boredom, loneliness, or a need to vent?

    Jump

  • Discord. I mostly post in an Ultima 7 modding community and helped out a bit but we also just talk about video games and stuff.

    It's hard to find the smaller servers where you can actually have a decent discussion though, just like IRC back in the day.

    Jump

  • What are the better options?

    Pis have great software support so for GPIO experimentation it's so useful.

  • Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why?

    Jump

  • Ocarina of Time - it was mindblowing to have the open world at the time (I didn't play Ultima 7 until much later) and the music is incredible.

  • What are some good cooperative shooters? Hidden gems?

    Jump

  • Rainbow Six Vegas and Splinter Cell Blacklist and Chaos Theory were awesome for this - especially for 2 people.

    If you have 4 then SWAT 4, Ready Or Not, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, ARMA 3.

  • AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid

    Jump

  • Hard disagree, it lets me achieve more and avoid procrastination. It can help you not get caught up on small errors, and be like a junior colleague given you complete attention when you ask for different proposals, etc.

  • End of Ukrainian gas transit signals new energy woes for Europe

    Jump

  • Questions about the safety of Tesla's 'Full Self-Driving' system are growing

    Jump

  • At least they have it. It's incredible to see videos of the FSD on highways, and Waymo robot taxis in the USA.

    I wish we had technology in Europe.

  • Existing California solar customers may get blindsided with net metering cuts

    Jump

  • Yeah, this is exactly the point of the "problem" OP complains about. Charge people for overproduction, so they're encouraged to buy a home battery and contribute in the night.

    Eventually home batteries will become a standard part of such installations.

  • Existing California solar customers may get blindsided with net metering cuts

    Jump

  • Because they have to give that energy away in order to keep the grid stable.

    Hopefully better battery storage will make this better in the future.

    The aim with it is to naturally discourage people from overproducing in such overproduction times - e.g. maybe you disable your solar panels when you predict it will happen, lessening the sudden impact on the grid.

    FWIW you could buy a high capacity home battery already to eliminate it yourself (charge the battery in those times), but they're still expensive.

  • What are the best open file formats?

    Jump

  • AV1 is already almost like that though.

  • What are the best open file formats?

    Jump

  • HEVC is so good at compression though!

    It sucks about all the patent bullshit though, same thing blocking HDMI 2.1 adoption too.

  • Subscription fatigue: when will enough be enough?

    Jump

  • Most of them are cheap though. Like Spotify at ~$10 is nothing, you can barely get a beer for that in the city these days. That's far cheaper than you used to pay for CDs!

    Netflix really took the piss though - with the charging for no ads, HD and multiple screens. Then it gets to like $30 a month which just isn't worth it with the diminishing library, so I cancelled that and use Amazon Prime Video for now as it's still cheap in my country (and has no ads for now).

  • Have you been stolen from?

    Jump

  • Yeah, had a drug dealer burgle our apartment (just an opportunistic thing, spare keys had been left outside by a friend who was moving). Fortunately no-one was in, but it sucked to have to deal with all the damage and security.

    We eventually tracked them down when they sold some stuff though and they were actually arrested and we got a few things back.

    It was awesome the police actually raided them. Unfortunately the new government released them as prisoners with "non-violent" offences.
