I can hear this meme 😂

You can’t imagine how much I hate this setting. A couple of weeks ago I helped a guy install some specific software on a windows machine provided by the customer. It’s like one exe with a config file. Pretty basic. My instructions were:

1. Copy the exe to a specific path
2. Create a new text file in the same path and copy paste this provided text into the file
3. Rename file to abc.xml

The exe was throwing errors because of the missing config file. Of course the filename was abc.xml.txt 💩

Hello! Here is your random engineer: You have to connect both trap doors to the same side of the turbine. Otherwise your generator has a great chance to get blocked by users.

Otherwise the concept looks good. If we find a way to get the Linux guys out and make them able to walk a slight incline without collapsing this should work.

Vergoldete Kontakte haben nichtsdestotrotz ihre Daseinsberechtigung: Die Kontakte korrodieren praktisch kaum und dementsprechend ist die Leitfähigkeit der Steckverbinder unter erschwerten Bedingungen zuverlässiger.

An der eigentlichen Qualität einer Verbindung ändert sich praktisch nichts. Da spielt am Ende die Signalleitung und ihre Abschirmung eine größere Rolle.

All diese Pseudo HiFi Argumente bewegen sich in der Regel auf esoterischem Terrain.

This is the reason why I started to block Internet access for all devices that don’t need it for their normal operation. I don’t trust the „disable updates“ function at all.

A couple of weeks ago I tried Outlook 365 when Windows Mail made me mad for the 1000th time because it has issues to actually send the E-Mails from one of my accounts…

Anyway, outlook started and of course just added my Microsoft Account ignoring all other accounts that could’ve been imported from Windows mail. There was a new mail so I clicked it. Although Firefox is my default browser, edge opened and there was a website. It took me multiple seconds to realize that Microsoft just baited me to click an ad and earn a couple of cents.

I got so angry that I installed thunderbird. If I compare it with older releases from a couple of years ago it did get a whole lot better. I’m very happy.

Windows gave me so many reasons in the last months that I also ditched it completely. Running Linux Mint now and just like thunderbird it is so much more refined if I compare it with the past…

Paying money for crappy subscription based software like office (need it for work) and still getting ads was definitely the no 1 reason to switch.

„Tatsächlich ist der kostenlose Zugang zu wichtigen Normen, vor allem harmonisierten europäischen Normen, derzeit ein Streitpunkt vor dem Europäischen Gerichtshof. Der soll verbindlich feststellen, dass Gesetze und gesetzesnahe Texte grundsätzlich kostenfrei zugänglich sein müssen.“

Das wäre doch mal was feines! Ich verstehe nicht, wie es überhaupt dazu kommen konnte, dass Normen nicht frei verfügbar sind. Abgesehen davon sind sie auch noch viel zu überteuert. Da hat der eine oder andere jahrzehntelang gut Reibach mit gemacht.

Normen nach denen man sich richten muss/soll, müssen frei verfügbar sein. Von mir aus kostet die Papiervariante Geld wegen den Druckkosten. Aber dann zum Selbstkostenpreis. Internationale mindestens auf Englisch und nationale in der jeweiligen Landessprache. Alles andere ist Käse.

For now…

Also the article states the lower price models will get 480Mbits, the more expensive ones will get 10Gbits. There is your artificial limitation. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the same hardware inside

This is really funny but it could backfire 😂

Don’t worry guys. Whole continents manage to pump their own gas without Major issues. I’m sure you will manage it too 😉

It would be great if the EU steps back:

Dear phone manufacturers. It seems to be impossible to build water resistant phones with easily replaceable batteries. So we have an alternative for you: In future you must provide a unconditional, professional battery replacement, free of charge for 10 years for each individual phone which is water resistant. Since the phones are so water resistant you also have to replace all water damaged phones free of charge.

2 hours later Apple announces a keynote for next week. A week later Tim Cook presents us next years iPhone with an easily replaceable battery…
