Weirdly enough, I started playing it just yesterday. I'm a gamer and I died about 10 times in the first 2 hours. I always read it's newbie friendly etc, but am wondering how, as the game doesn't seem to have handhelding at al

Relatively sure this would be fine in some European countries. In Germany, afaik it's an ongoing question on whether there's a copyright on the records (especially from the lawyer texts). The names and so on are always censored an

It's a very common misconception that it's legal to own/keep a gun (after having done military service) but not being able to get/keep ammunition. According to this video you can't keep preciously-lent ammunition fr

Re: Germany - for sure there is. Aufhebungsvertrag if you as employee agree. Kündigung mit sofortiger Freistellung if you don't agree.

Good human support is expensive. You need support agents and people that educate and manage those. It's not easy to scale up and down usually. People also hate waiting times. AI fixes most of that... Most of the time? Clearly not, but

Of course, noise on sidewalks is important and annoying. But to a German who is used to good (sealed) German windows, French and Spanish cities, just to name some, are just a pain. Be it in hotel rooms or regular homes, almost nowhere the w

It does feel very natural on Reddit (where mods can enable a flag/green user name when it's a mod response).

But France has some as well. There's really no way Germany will build some imo.

The game "Spec Ops: The Line" begs to differ, and you don't even expect it.

I'll try it this weekend on a hobby project. For me being able to pitch this at work, the most basic requirement (among many more, don't ask, German companies...) would be to know what company is behind this - currently About Us s

Apparently it takes time to change a color, because in Germany we still have the old red. Bonus: There's already Telekom, which bases its entire Magenta brand about... the color Magenta.

They monitor DNS stats, seems plausible some devices already had their tiktok domains cached

Yes, I believe so. It's way easier to upload something on tiktok with captions, voiceovers etc than on YouTube. You can have real communities instead of random channels.

Why do you call it junk? Is everything on YouTube junk, because there are some really bad and fake prank jokes? Is everything on here junk, because some people don't have the best intentions? Seriously, even in Germany the public opini

Not sure if sarcastic or not, I'll bite. If tiktok infringes some kind of data privacy laws, punish them. If the data privacy laws of the US are bad, improve them. But this? Just because some... not so bright soldiers use tiktok to upl

Why do people smile about $2 notes? (In Europe no one would bat an eye about any € coin. Only the now-discontinued but still legal 500€ notes have this effect)

I'm sort of undecided here. Yeah it's great for some use cases & many people, we should probably do it, seems worth it. But also, before having 40k thingies on the orbit that will decay/break within years, why not think o

In all languages of the world? Is that realistic? How could you know whether something in Vietnamese is spam or not? In my opinion it could work, but you'd definitely need 40-80 and not 4 people.

Another argument for every public funded thing should be open source.

For me: I used to be a tiny bit good at lucid dreaming, just for fun. Now this skill has developed back, but it's still enough to be able to wake up from annoying dreams. Those include: being with persons you no longer want to be with,

Users that have an iPhone just for work would be affected with a 24h check. Even with 72h they might be affected, but it would be fewer (if you assume they work Fridays and Mondays)

This kind of rain/flooding happens every 10-20 years in the region :(. Varies a bit with its intensity, but pretty much everyone has lived through at least one. (Lived 13 years near Dénia, 100km from Valencia)

Faster is always nice, makes sense. But do you really need WiFi 7 features/speed? I don't know when I would notice a difference (on a laptop) between 600 or 1500 Mbit/s (just as an example). Can't download much anyhow as

How would a true push (and not poll) method work, if all you have is the local thunderbird client? If I had to guess, the question from the other person is not related to mail poll/push stuff Usually you rely on a server telling the mo

I don't do LLM so I can't comment there. But in general, devs/pros would use windows/linux laptops if they could. All we get is crappy build quality or bad battery endurance or bad performance (CPU or super basic stuff l
