I can recommend the Bose QC45 or the Bose Headphones 700 as a less overpriced and more compatible alternative to the Max. Very good audio quality, comfortable fit (although the Headphones 700 tend to be rather tight depending on your head s

If you're into smart home stuff, I can recommend the IKEA STARKVIND. It integrates nicely into the room, filters are decently easy to swap and Zigbee works well with Home Assistant

+ 1. to get a usable MBP spec (i.e. at least 1TB disk and 24GB RAM) you’re looking at a 2,689€ price tag here in Germany. Not an issue if it’s company provided, but outside, this is more than two months worth of rent and a substantial part

Questions like those are why I often feel as if software engineers often tend to over estimate their impact on a society.

I don't work for SAP, Porsche or Zeiss. I work for a company that is rather large but rather unknown outside the geographic region it operates locations and outside the industry it operates in, thus it perfectly fits the definition of

Hetzner does now have US based locations. However, as far I can tell, they are restricted to their cloud products and not their line of dedicated servers

Unfortunately, hetzner really seems to have trouble with piracy and spam. Given Plex is going as far as blocking hetzner servers completely, it seems like abuse is pretty widespread. It’s really annoying that this kind of behavior is ruinin

Is this feature globally available? Because I receive an embarrassing amount of spam calls and never had a single of them blocked. The same goes for SMS.

While I 100% agree on the price comparison, you’ll need to reach some threshold for LLM performance to consider them as usable. As Someone not very knowledgeable at the topic, the pure difference in the numbers lead me to question if you co

„Datenschutz“ (data protection) is an extremely popular excuse for any failing digital project, in reality, it’s probably a mix between complete incompetence (see digital drivers license), a lack of funds (look at smaller cities/towns)
