The US just took away the constitutional right to bodily autonomy. That kind of internal oppression of ones own citizens is absolutely beyond terrifying, and obviously a bigger worry for social stability. Europe is not at war. War in Ukrain

There are rules against car registration/importing to prevent this. Or else everyone in Western Europe would just buy and register their cars in Latvia/Romania etc.

Out of interest, how so? E-bikes are very popular in the Swiss countryside. I would have thought an e-bike would actually have more use in Devon, than in a relatively flat city like London.

Europe is a big place, 45k might be a lot of money in Romania, and it is below minimum wage in Switzerland. Software Engineers will still be pulling 100k+ in Europe with those 2 hour days.

Kids walk to and from school at like 5 years old in Europe. In some countries they also walk home for lunch, since there is a break with no childcare where they have to go home to eat. If children are never allowed to learn independence, th

I've never understood this. If you work from home you can also just... go walking outside? In fact you could even go walking for longer, since nobody is checking for your presence and you haven't wasted time commuting. I'd ra

Battery settings probably shows your screen on time? In independent reviews, the iPhone mini (12 & 13) seemed to get closer to 5 hours screen on time. 6 hours or more _per day_ sounds absolutely insane though, you must be overestimating

The 5 was already available here when I purchased the 4a (Europe), but the 5 was twice as expensive - which is hard to justify for "a bit better". A headphone jack is much more useful for me personally than 5G, so I happily saved

Similar user, and I have no idea if there will be anything left to buy after the Pixel 4a. I expect the 4a will be good enough for another 3 years at-least, if there are no accidents. Hopefully by then there is something available which con

If the problematic contract clause is completely unenforceable by law then I usually don't bother arguing about it. People like to write all kinds of weird things in contracts, but you can't legally sign away your rights (in Europ

I too have an M1 MBP and XPS 13. I pretty much always use the XPS. Side by side, there is no noticeable difference in speed for my everyday work. The MBP is more efficient for sure, but I get 8+ hours of battery from the XPS which is good e

Exactly. Which makes the subsidies a funnelling of taxpayer money into the pockets of landowners - obviously this is not good, but if you have a population of majority landowners, then this is a sure-fire way to get votes.

Why would I build on a local machine vs running the build on a server in a datacenter? Per your own arguments, server grade hardware is going to compile much faster than any local workstation.

I don't disagree, but it is worth pointing out that Alder Lake released Nov 2021, one year after Zen 3 (Nov 2020). It'll be interesting to see what happens in the fight between Zen 4 and Raptor Lake. Right now feels like an awkwar

75% is kinda new-ish, still. I've been using my Filco TKL since 2010, when 75% was not particularly available. If needing to buy new then I think yeah 75% is a good idea, but I don't think there's any utility in replacing a p

You need not fear, for if you were an audiophile there is no way you could use Airpods. Your perceived change in audio quality is more likely to be placebo in the justification of your own platform choices. Spotify high quality is certainly

I don't believe Apple pays better out of the goodness of their own hearts. It seems much more likely that they pay more because that's what they need to pay to get artists on to their platform. Apple posted profits of $34.6 billio

Honest question: for what reasons do you ever need to scan a random QR code? I think I've used them to sign in to some apps (eg, WhatsApp) while logged in on a PC, and other than that exactly 0 times. The Google camera app does support

A test suite that takes under 2m to run under Linux docker takes over 4m when I run it on the M1. Yet the M1 is marginally faster than this i7-1185g7. For regular development reloading apps etc it's similarly sluggish. "Just fine&

I don't think any M1 chip makes sense at all if you need to work with a lot of docker containers. Orders of magnitude faster to do that on a Linux machine.

If you're writing software, and you develop a new feature without testing the failure path, then I don't think it's possible to make any safe assumptions about what failure should or shouldn't do.

I don't agree with the person you're replying to, but I think it's fair to point out that you don't need to get married to have a life partner. With marriage rates declining, younger generations are not seeing it as a ne
