I have a premium account as I really like the idea of just paying for the service I use. I highly assume that the AI will be integrated in a way that you can mostly disable it or barely notice it if you aren't looking for it, like all

I don't know about America. But for me here in Switzerland additional transportation cost is actually cheaper in a rural area than parking costs in any city. A standard parking space about 100$ a month (not including going anywhere and

What would a stack look like to make this useable? I have plenty of esp devices controlling many things. I would need a local AI to make use of it without exposing it online?

It's a context thing. When I say selbstbewusst it can very well have the meaning of self-aware and also would be perceived as that.

Not saying Twint is perfect. But I am really wondering how they are going to get into the Swiss market right now when Twint is basically doing all that and more and is already in everyone's pockets

Not for everything, but in Europe we still value this kind of culture and there are still many examples where it's true. We spend a lot more on food for example, and half of the US produce is basically illegal here because of the low q

Classic America centric view. Let me tell you some European view: You will find MC and BK nearly everywhere. Both selling hamburgers which are invented in Germany. Maybe subway is also kinda wide spread. The other chains aren't as comm

Compared to CHF and EUR the USD was on a downfall for a while now, more or less Corona or the last trump era. The new thing is that it's really getting worthless comparingly up to the point where it's not interesting anymore to ke

Definitely not for me. Was in Windows between 95 and XP, never looked back. Same for my first programming languages, glad I am not stuck still doing PHP and Java. Switched my main Linux and desktop environment multiple times as well.

I love how subjective these things are. I hate the half assed commercialised approached for software on both Mac and Windows where you download 50mb+ of electron bullshit for a bash 2 liner with default tools on Linux. Mostly for windows bu

The problem is not the "advanced features" within Excel but how they are used. If an excel sheet is basically just a front for a visual basic Programm it doesn't easily open anywhere. As Google's JavaScript API also does

I lived in a place where there is a lot of rain. But the rain can have many faces and especially in summer all weather sites would forecast rain and use a rain symbol for days when the data clearly says there is a high change of minimal rai

It could be an amazing product. But the aggressive marketing approach from Microsoft plastering "CoPilot" everywhere makes me want to try every alternative.

Do you know Walserberg? I haven't passed Walserberg once in the last 10 years without a machine gun in my face. Passing it maybe once a year usually from Austria to Germany. Afaik the other way is easier. I know I can just drive a hour

You can't cheap out on a coffee machine. That's basically the one rule if you really like coffee (and health for that matter) Source: I repaired coffee machines for a while as teenager and seen horrible mold or quality machines. N
