Yeah, but you need to know where to buy it, how to get it delivered etc. Getting a Gameboy Advance cable in Denmark is $18.5 and delivery might take a week or so. Anyway, the exact charger for a GameBoy Colour doesn't exist as the GBC

Yes, I agree. It's a bit weird because finally, after decades SEPA ICT is here and could be used to back this thing. It just needs to be more user-friendly.

Polish people have such a fear of Germans, thinking Germans are constantly scheming to screw Poland over. Whereas most Germans barely know Poland even exists. As someone who has lived in both countries its such a hilarious anxiety.

Isn't this pretty much what Nothing are doing? At least one of their phones has a different battery rating in India than elsewhere, despite containing the same hardware.

Using Git when it came out would have probably meant to use Cogito, which has been dead for such a long time by now. Or have bet on Mercurial. Which is also close to dead. Or darcs, which has been big in certain environments and now practic

If you bought into NFTs when they were hot you would have lost money. Not every new tech is worth investing immediately.

All of this is true. Having lived in Germany it's quite different, but I'd argue the centralized handling of the CPR is actually quite convenient and doesn't meaningfully impact privacy. In Germany every authority has its own

Yeah but functionally it is the same. If the website is down it doesn't matter if I got the OTP code from a piece of paper or the dongle.

The way it worked before was that you had basically a piece of paper with OTP codes and the website would prompt you for a very specific one. How that would've prevented this issue: not at all. If the login service is down, having the

No. As I understand it the previous system, NemID was actually (co?)designed by the banks so this is what they all use. Likewise MitID is another unholy alliance of Nets (a Danish payment provider) and Danish banks. Given the Swedish versio

A bit of a shame that it mentions the wretched type K plugs in Denmark but leaves out the "EDB" type DK 2-5a plugs/sockets, which add a new dimension of problems to the mix!

Porkbun has .party for $21.09 (bar the first year promotion, not sure about VAT) and INWX (DE, VAT included) has it 32.80€ . It is definitely more but not as scary as you made it sound.

At least apparent complexity. See "Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets" which creeps up on you shockingly fast because C pretends to be simple by leaving things to be undefined but in the real life things need some kind of behavi

> Do people still use those Germanized terms? In a way? I always found it more sensible to use German words like "Namenwort" instead of "Nomen" to express German grammar, instead of using latin terms. After all Latin

I wouldn't be surprised. Probably because Mickey hasn't starred in anything relevant for a large part of the younger generation in many years, maybe even decades. Disney doesn't really make movies staring Mickey anymore. Mick

Let's not forget that GNU Emacs also had his competitor, XEmacs which spurred GNU Emacs to improve. Similar with GCC and EGCS where the EGCS later became the new GCC.

Bike lanes yes. But where are all the safety features you can see here? Bike lanes are often separated, but not always. On many streets they are just painted on. They are rarely color marked, which is fine when you know where the bike lane

Keep in mind that R&K only has two iron gall inks: Sallix and Ebony. The rest is normal inks, but of good quality for sure. KWZ got started as a producer of iron gall inks but has branched out a bit since. But they still have a large ra

That is not true. There was an outrage where a low-quality high-readership newspaper claimed that the streetview data would be live and show potential thieves when you are home or not. Thus Google created a system to opt out of their homes

USB-B is the thing that's on the other side of cables with USB-A. A large, square-ish port that got even larger when it was extended for USB 3, with a connector that got even larger. That's the port that mini-USB and micro-USB are
