Props to him for putting up a fight against a gargantuan organization. Very few even think about it. He's probably insane by now and will meet a shitty end in the US, but it's people and sacrifices like these who can change things

Yeah, so GeForce/Quadro used to be a software only difference. Later on (around Fermi/Kepler) it became a hardware difference but cards could still be modded by means of board straps and package traces. Kepler could literally have

The industry is over half a century old by now, barring some absolute catastrophe, it's not going anywhere.

Lol. Google's absolute insistence that you must want local language results has been a pain in the ass for years. It's impossible for them to understand. Clearly they have zero people working and living in countries other than the

The organization has a proud history lol https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEMA_(German_organization)

Actually, that might be because of their antispam filters. They were always fighting websites with countless subdirectories or subdomains, having completely wiped them off their SERPs in the past. GitHub does fit the "huge website with

Why don't they just sell in Euro/USD? That's what people did a few decades ago a bit further north, when the local currency wasn't trusted (even if it was rather stable). But yeah, inflation in Eastern Europe is pretty b

Oh, most people do find it sketchy and suspicious. Hence they just stick with stock ROMs or solutions that a "big" and "reputable" company provides.

Yeah, yeah, everyone and their dog in Germany managed to "rescue several Jews" during WW2 according to their own postwar records lol. Nice VW, though.

Got Covid, got the vaccine, will get the fucking "boosters", will wear mask and be careful. Now fuck off with any other restrictions, that's where I think the line is.

IPA - India Pale Ale, best thing to clean a PCB with, especially after you've had a meal break right on top of it :D

The vaccinated are getting the same restrictions, so it might actually be them this time.

OpenWRT does not work well with Broadcom devices in general. Some are supported (you can port it yourself actually) but most won't work. Fortunately, it does work with Atheros, Qualcomm, MediaTek/Ralink and I think some other chip

The ghost army in LOTR was cool, but that's fiction. Doesn't work that well irl, I guess.

The atrocious English makes me question this Wiki entry.

So you get "more control". Then you do fuckall with it. Nothing stops the Portuguese government from making better laws for small business/entrepreneurs or investing in education for them. But I guess borders could work. Why

by bserge 5y ago
Isn't that the government's and even the population's fault? Why can Germany invest money so much better than half of Europe? Same for Nordic countries. I've been thinking about it a lot. It has to be culture. Germans in

N26, a German bank, has unlimited free ATM withdrawals in most countries and only 3/mo in Germany. If not for all the laws, this country would be USA on steroids.

At which point you could just forget the train and take a bus. Bucharest has buses to practically anywhere in the EU.

Ideally, they're servants of the public/people. Not modern kings/queens, which is what most people see them as (even if temporary ones). So yes, they should be setting examples.

Yeah, their spam filter is also fake. You "report as spam", at least on Android. So it's up to Google to decide if it's actually spam.

Speakers with built-in amps are cheap, noisy and generally low quality. Funny enough, the art of setting up a good stereo system (using said knobs) seems to have been lost. Probably because few can afford more than a closet these days (and

Yes, good move to increase view count. If you don't have a like/dislike ratio to judge, you're more likely to play it and watch at least a bit. Everyone wins (at Google): more ads, more money.

This all sounds like excuses. Insert that two dog meme, one builds a freaking datacenter using commodity hardware in a barn and the other uses AWS and complains about lock-in and expenses. As an example, imagine if the founders and engineer

So you're actively participating in reducing the amount of useful solutions/answers available for everyone via a search engine.

But they'll register for Discord/Reddit/Slack. Then presumably complain about the Internet becoming 6 big platforms and a search engine.

Yes it does. For the past few months I've been quitting it all. Now I post here under a banned account like a lunatic. An addict. At least no more Reddit, and of course no more Imgur, Youtube. Facebook/Twitter I never got into muc

Hah, I wish everyone who vehemently says they're very quiet could live near one. I'm definitely not saying "stop building them", though. On a side note, that's very similar to what tinnitus sounds like. Sometimes dr
