Also I find the description of what hacking is rather limited. At least in my understading hacking also applies to hardware and "stuff" in general, not only to "computer programs".

According to a media report, a striking number of accidents occur at the factory of the US electric car manufacturer Tesla in Grünheide. IG Metall has called on Tesla to make improvements in occupational safety. One and a half years ago, th

Oh yeah, I've lost quite a few camera projects to these connectors with cables breaking, slipping out of the connector and whatnot. Maybe just a bad choice of cables, not sure.

Rasperry Pi board easily cost hundreds of dollars, too, once the scalpers have bought up the little stock that is there.

Ok, that looks better than Progressive JPEG, I'll give you that. ;-) On the other hand: When your connection speed is 30 kb/s, images are probably the last problem with "modern" websites... ;-)

Ok, but we got PNG for that. Photos usually don't contain transparencies, so why have several Megapixel/Megabyte large PNGs?

Now... Do we need JPEG-XL in the first place? What's the benefit? Hardware is fast enough to decode JPEG, also storage is cheap enough to stick to JPEG. What's the point in using JPEG-XL if you're not running an imageboard or

YouTube Shorts are also full of underage kids talking about their life, dancing and whatnot. Does not feel right to me, but I guess it is for YouTube.

In commercial terms, this is called "Intaglio" [1] (TIL! I only knew the Germany word). While there are lots of printing techniques which are interesting in their details, I always have a special place for this one in my heart. :-

So, the Green party has been ruining nuclear energy (and the whole country!) since the 90s? What kind of comparison is this? Letting nuclear power phase out was decided in 2011, nuclear was already down to 18% then. What point are you tryin
351.
by martin_a 3y ago
Nuclear energy made up only 6% of the total energy mix. I wonder why everyone is so obsessed with these 6%. Also please tell me, how, starting from tomorrow, we can ensure that we handle the waste products of nuclear power generation safely

You forgot to mention that he can't remember details about one of the biggest tax frauds in German history. Personally I don't think that he should be chancellor at all, but I guess we don't have many choices.

Absolutely, yes. One could discuss if 7 years of SPD/Grüne with Schröder was enough for significant change (well, we did Hartz in that time, so something was done...) after and before 15/16 years CDU-led governments, but that&#x27

Be respectful and talk English. And do you think it's unobjective to think that the conservative governements of the past have missed to lay the foundations? We're sitting on our slow copper cable internet, due to Helmut fucking K

> in an objective non political way While your whole post implicates that you are leaning to the conservatice spectrum, I will try to be as objective as possible. Germany has been ruled by conservative governments for the last 16 years.

Okay, so Arduino is probably done at this point and we'll just see its downfall. Which leads me to the question: Is there an IDE/language that is as easy as that of the Arduino IDE? PlatformIO is often mentioned, but I don't
