It's a lovely event and people happy. If you're into repairing stuff, you might know about some nasty tricks by the manufacturer like plastic gears where past models had metal gears and so on. Modern stuff is really hard to repair

Compared to xz and even parallel xz, gzip and parallel gzip are just better if speed is more important. The compression is not superior but already good if you consider just the uncompressed data. For long term storage, it makes sense, to i

True. Reading code needs some experience in how coding actually works. I feel confident enough to read code in programming languages I've never coded in as long as they are imperative because the the pattern will be similar so that an

Yes, it is. I've been on a long distance train and there was some guy watching a movie on his tablet. Sleeping. In the quiet zone. Rude, loud people usually don’t react kindly when you call them out on their behavior. It’s practically

Damn that's scary. I like that guy. He said everything necessary to that topic. Never rely on something you've found working for your case but not designed to be used like that.

People talk a bunch of stuff about malfunctioning, bugged software and so on. We can assume, the car was just trapped in some infinite loop so it'll never reach it's goal for some reason but also wasn't able to realize that a

Thanks to the article I now have the proper word for it: Bossware. I feel reminded of Ploito. It got advertised on HN. 6 months later I'm sure: It was an ad to gain attention. Idk what happened but it seems that the poster and their bu

Really depends on what you expect for 1 Euro. A single CPU core of an Intel Xenon Gold 6230R isn't much but it handles small loads very well. 1 GB memory is okayish. 10 GB SSD? Meh. A dedicated IPv4 address? That's hot! The uptime

Initially I had the same thought: I'm not using their services, how can I break TOS? But this explains it. If a device cannot be controlled locally and need their cloud connection to work, it's in a high risk of becoming e-waste a

You could lock it away so people start messing with their cars to unlock it again. Yes. I wish people would realize how dangerous it is to be so much faster than the adjacent lane.

It's just: I can go faster, if I want to (or for some reason need to). I'm really not a fan of doing the Apple thing and to infantilize the user by disallowing sideloading because it's dangerous. The discussion got dragged to

I see that, too. It's not even 130 km/h it's often between 100 and 130 km/h. Depending on the speed limit, traffic, lanes available and routing I would say that there are about 5-10% of cars that go faster and maybe 20%

I also had a Windows Mobile 6 based pre-smartphone. Very Windows XP'ish especially regarding the permissions. The new smartphones with their framework and managed access were a huge thing. Windows UAC allowed to control administrator p

Interesting, afaik Deutsche Telekom had to replace all their media receivers because they decided to stop licensing Windows CE.

I've tried it with a German Autobahn. I would say it's heavily biased to detect asphalt and replace it with some kind of pavement and flowers. Sometimes also the not so nice cobbled variant. It also had the space of 4 lanes and ma

You claim you want to "weed out the lazy and deceitful, thereby forming a healthy and efficient team." So you use surveillance because you have no trust. Can you imagine how it feels to be under permanent surveillance and need of

Acceptance. But I got there in no time. I'm depressed, that we can be as good and green as we want in EU, we will always have these people having fun just wasting resources like driving rolling coal. We have a globalized world. Covid s

We need to go deeper! Cheat Makers produce their own kernels that trick the kernel modules by intercepting everything theses modules do. I don't know if there is even cheat software on Linux, but if there's a market, there might b

First, I must admit, I'm reading some RSS feeds. At least the headlines. Sometimes it's unrelated to work, but mostly it's about tech somehow educating and inspiring. Personally I would say, it helped me to keep track of what

Interesting. My favourite is the A5 near Frankfurt with 4 Lanes on Sunday evening. Usually the whole traffic is on the left lanes. When I hit the end of this "traffic jam" I'm using the rightest (!) lane to slow down from 200

I did the same and I'm not really regretting it. It's somehow sad, that I'm now missing the conversations and plannings of my family and somebody always has to send me something on another way, but I'm okay with it. I&#x
