> Or just you know, use the 4G that is probably there already. Yeah... Projects like open WiFi are probably becoming less and less useful, as everybody is carrying 4G/5G modems in their pocket.

Ah, I see. Seems like directional antennas for WiFi would be what I need then.

by martin_a 3y ago
Yeah... But WiFi doesn't work when I'm sitting on the toilet two rooms down the corridor. Crazy times. No, to be honest: Very impressive. It's kind of a "dream" of me, to bring Internet to the river/picknick ar

johndoe@gmail.com and john.doe@gmail.com are obviously two different addresses. At least for me. I don't see why the first one should receive mails from the second one.

How are they going to implement it anyway? Based on the location you provide while setting Windows up? IP lookup? I mean, there needs to be a safe way, so I invite everyone to become European for this patch. :-)

Why do you need public funding and risk, though? Business culture in Germany is very different than e.g. in the US. So called "Mittelstand" is what the German economy is build on. These are stable companies, often lead by families

So called "Kleingewerbe"/"Einzelunternehmen" are not limited to the 22k turnaround. You can make millions that way, if you want to. When you outgrow the 22k though (that limit is called "Kleingewerbe"), yo

Bullshit. Energy prices are falling right now. I've just switched contracts for my parents at the weekend. They pay 30 cent/kWh for 100% renewable energy now. Down from 44 cent/kWh.

Weird? Sorry, but the US intelligence services are collecting _everything_ they can get their hands on. Of course they'll collect data from immigrants.

I got one of the Fossil Hybrid Watches. Looks like a normal watch (that was important for me) but has an eInk display in the background. I've disabled lots of notifications but it still keeps track of various data without a hassle and

Yes, I feel that. Did a rather long journey a few weeks ago (7+ hours). The ICE had a delay of 40 minutes in Hannover which they could reduce going down south. Once it rolls, it rolls and then it's mostly okay . okay, WLAN was down,

I think the TGV is pretty much on time, that's why they have no problem with that.

This kind of hits the core. As the DB (Deutsche Bahn) is a private company now (although they are 100% owned by the state), they have to make a profit. How do you make a profit? Either raise prices or lower costs. Doing both is the best and

I think they want to get rid of the trains going to Interlaken directly. At least that's what I read in the SZ [0]. If you haven't seen it, there's the great talk from David Kriesel on the 36C3 [1] about how Deutsche Bahn is.

by martin_a 3y ago
Nah, don't worry, they (Deutsche Bahn) hit the hour mark quite often without any problems. Funny story on the side: German ICEs are only allowed up to Basel, so they will not cause any delays in the Swiss train network. The Swiss fear

Only 900 mph? That's nothing! Have a look at the flashlights with 100k+ lm brightness. Those are the real deals!

Nah, it's just that our company is part of a larger group (2k+ employees in Europe), so the IT tends to focus on the other companies more. Also my whole e-commerce stuff is very unique to us which reduces reusability for anything they

You wanna hear some horror stories from the field? I need to do development regularly for our workflow systems. That includes a NodeJS based process, so npm has to work, I backup code to gitlab, need to use Postman/Insomnia to test API

After the devastating fire on the car carrier off the Dutch coast, salvors have now inspected the ship. The four top decks of the "Fremantle Highway" were so badly damaged that it was almost impossible to walk on them, said the he
