AfD is a result of people wanting something and the government doing the opposite... this means that people are looking for an Alternative (intentionally capitalized here). People just want a nice cozy job, enough money to get an apartment&

I mean... currently any cop can do that, and it's a lot easier to bribe a single cop than to break into flock network. https://edition.cnn.com/2026/08/26/us/flock-kentucky-police-... A single cop ca

To be fair, mandatory warranty has added a lot to that. Most larger electronics (washing machines, fridges, dryers, ovens, etc.) have a mandatory 5y warranty in most european countries, and since the profit margins are so low, even the chea

But all those political divisions are a result of national politics of those countries. People want higher wages, less taxes, affordable housing, more recently cheaper gas/diesel, and in the last decade (or more in some places), less f

I always find it funny here, how out of all the targets "the enemy" could hit, HN-er is afraid they'll hit the datacenters :) You don't need space weapons to hit datacenters, you need one van full of explosives and someo

...or blame russia! (Some media literally blamed putin because people voted for afd in the recent state election in germany).

The easiest way to hide the incompetence of local european politics, be it expensive diesel or the upcoming economic prices is to blame it all on russia. Volkswagen is laying off 100k of workers, because they can't make cars people can

It could also be kids doing it "for the lolz", like in slovenia: https://www.rtvslo.si/crna-kronika/na-zelezniski-progi-iz-ce... similar thing happened next to a minority area where they put railroad ties (th

What bombed country benefits from US? Afghanistan? Iraq? Iran? Yemen? Venezuela? Syria? Yemen? How do they benefit? Destroyed infrastructure is somehow helping them? Americans stealing their resources if they decide to occupy the country?

Many fish can be farmed easily. If we continued as hunters-gatherers we'd do the same with many other animals, but we instead decided to farm them so the other species can survive. On the other hand, there are wild boars roaming my cou

But that's true for google too Ok, maybe not the war *with a neighbor* (yet), but US has an open war with Iran (and has bombed a few other countries recently also) and it also threathens to annex the neigbor to the north plus another i

That's why now we need gigabytes of ram to do the same thing we managed in 128Mb back then. I mean sure, there's an AI chatbot in your PDF viewer and ads in your start menu, but the functionality of many daily things is still the

Not old nokias but newer phones were. Samsung actually made such phones even in 2020, eg the xcover pro: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-rep... , the phone is rated for ip68, so yes,

Batteries always have a limited lifetime. "back in the day" we had waterproof phones with user replacable batteries, you could just buy another battery and replace it yourself. I have no idea why we can't do this now.

Are you american? Here in the balkans, if you want anything local, you must find some private sharing site/tracker/forum with magnet links/etc., since no one really leaves stuff seeding on eg. piratebay for a long time (priva

That's much harder to implement. If you ban advertising eg. online casinos to underge users, the service would have to send two different ads (one 18+ and one for younger people too), and the browser would have to decide which one to p

I mean, so do the 14 years olds and 10 year olds, and newborns, and the ideas still separated, because future mommy and daddy didn't have sex yet. But as a society, we've decided that 16 year olds are too young to do many proper

TBH, OS based parental filters are the optimal solution here, especially if implemented in a proper way. Kids don't buy phones and computers, parents do. When setting up the account for the first time, the parents could set the account

But that's the point of democracy, whoever was interested in the isue, went out to vote, kids are too young to vote, and more than half of people interested enough to go out, voted to leave. You personally might have wanted to remain a

That would be very expensive compared to ikea. Look at the very popular Lack table, it's made from cardboard hexagons with four pieces of wood-like thing in the corners to hold the legs. You can't make that yourself for cheap, and

Why do they need the Horizon programs? Switzerland is a rich country, in any pan-EU project scheme, they'd pay more than they'd get back.

It's not collectivism, it's the "no consequences" thing. "back in my time" in what used to be yugoslavia, it was perfectly acceptable for an adult to slap/hit a kid who caused problem or was destroying stu

There's a bunch of them, but the tip offers are usually on the newer touchscreen (probably android based) ones. The old ones (never seen the tip option on those... for now): https://www.simple-shop.si/en/pos-termin

You can do exactly that, yes, dd whole disk to external drive, dd it back. Of course this assumes you'll be buying the same laptop, otherwise, you'll have to reconfigure stuff, from graphics drivers, resolution etc., resize the p

Why would recording calls not be possible anymore? On a rooted phone you can do it, some amixer and arecords might be needed, but it stores the audio of both sides.

Just get a larger drive than the internal one, and "dd" (copy byte by byte) the whole internal drive into a file on that external drive. There could be issues with the TPM chips, having to re-enroll fingerprints or something, but
