   I agree, it's super close to the classical OSM style, but some things are missing, e.g. roads that are currently planned or in the building phase.

   I've never been able to properly work on a Word document together with a colleague. Not even once. There's always some kind of bug or sync problem. Google Docs, on the other hand, works great when you're working together on a

   The whole Microsoft 365 environment is a mess. The web interface of SharePoint is super slow and buggy. Why do I have a useless "General" folder in the root of my SharePoint documents, which I can't delete? I don't even

   I still remember all the useless copycats (especially in other languages) cropping up after the success of the Million Dollar Home Page. I wonder how the guy that created it managed to make it so viral that he sold out all of the pixels in

   I was also using eMule through Wine, but I randomly discovered that all my files were shared on the network, not only the ones in folders that I specifically chose. So pay a lot of attention in order not to share sensitive data. There&#x2

    It really is alive and kicking, and now there's a smarter way to find things compared to the integrated file search (which can lead to fake content, viruses or... worse). There are some forums (yes, old-school web forums) with neatly o

    > repairability is just rubbish I wonder if something will change for the better in the future, given that the EU will force (from 18th February 2027) every computer sold in the EU to have removable and replaceable batteries.

    The state of the internet is a bit sad if we need to collectively rely on Cloudflare. And we don't even have other free alternatives (that I know of).
