Batteries fail completely too, on occasion especially with cheaper brands or 5+ year-old headphones.

Were there actually Pentium M chipsets that could decode anything but MPEG2? The CPU will be struggling with most modern video formats including h.264.

Amiga was big in Europe. No doubt they were slow though; most computers of the time were.

There have been firebrands attempting a revival of the Amiga since the mid 90's, and back then it was a question of making a new and modern platform -- not watching demos. Today is a different matter, of course. Personally, emulation i

Yeah, the lack of support for off-the-shelf hardware has been the doom of the Amiga revival since day one. The refusal to port AmigaOS to anything but dead or near-dead architectures has always amazed me -- had the resources been spent on A

Lots of tapes more or less being given away here. Check your local flea markets!

It's perfecly legitimate to do stuff simply because you want to. This is a site for tinkering people, so it's kind of expected people tinker with stuff. Quite often that includes old stuff. :) Waiting for the writeup about the ste

Yeah, with high-end vintage decks in good shape, tapes can sound pretty decent, more than enough for day-to-day listening. A type I tape recorded on a modern player? It'll sound horrible.

The reservoirs in Finland aren't quite at the scale your Explorer Vodka-fuelled Swedish mind believe them to be. Most are small generators hooked up to the local rivers, and are required to prioritize keeping the water from flooding

But where? In Finland, at least, the land is relatively flat when compared with Norway and Sweden, and with a large rural population there aren't really any good locations. In my local area, we had major flooding this spring because th

I've seen the same trend. AI neeeds to be everywhere, preferably yesterday, but apart from hooking everything up to an LLM withot regards for the consequences nobody seems to know what the AI is supposed to do.

Until that happens, I think we should assume that solar only isn't a viable option. At the moment Finland would need 60x more solar to cover current needs (during daytime), and it's barely winter yet. Sure, you'd get away wit

I'm not sure how I'd manage tbh (in Finland). I was called a luddite for not wanting to follow the "official" schoool Whatsapp group. Online banking is practicably unusable without the bank's own 2FA app. Many thing

"Norwegian" isn't just one unified language and Norway isn't in the EU. That being said, the Scandinavian languages all come from old Norse, and modern national constructs aside, most of the people in the those areas des

I think that sentence is easily readable for most people who speak at least one Germanic language. It's mostly true, though, even if it's a somewhat simplified view.

Working with a client that has thousands of customers using this setup. Common? Perhaps not, but definitely not near zero. Many people are fiercly attached to the Gmail interface, but refuse to pay for Google Workspace, or even manage multi

2G is still required in quite a few areas, but it would probably be a good idea to change the default to 3G/4G only; not being able to use a new phone would be a problem while changing a setting during setup would not.

Last time I checked, the preferred method was to simlify known CSAM material enough that you can hash the result, then repeat in the client end and hope nothing else has the same hash.

In the real world, sanctions happen for a variety of reasons. They have wide-reaching consequences, and you can't expect everyone to always fight every single goverment policy they don't personally approve of; an Iranian citizen i

If it was only a matter of 'once-every-few-years' then current emergency capacity will suffice. The problem is that: A) It happens often enough to be a problem emergency capacity can't handle. B) Natural gas is not always an

For district heating, sure. For electricity? Yes, in theory, but not at efficiencies that would make financial sense.

Rural Finnish driving culture is insane, to the extent that drunk driving often is considered socially acceptable, and something every kid does. Luckily, the bulk of the incidents dont involve drivers hurting others. The country road rally

That depends on jurisdiction, I guess. Here, paying with goods or services doesn't excempt the other party from paying VAT. I fail to see how that can't be applied when paying with intellectual property.

Not after Meta tried to circumvent GDPR by attemtpting to sell access to their services and let users pay with money OR personal data. If it's only the payment medium that changes, then charging VAT is logical.
