Switching on airplane mode might switch off wifi, but "being in airplane mode" does not mean wifi is off, because wifi is still allowed in airplane mode. I'm just saying this here because I thought for quite some time that ai

> Being able to temporarily “unplug the cable” from a wireless device is a valuable feature, even if it’s no longer required by regulation. But airplane mode means that wifi is still enabled/possible for quite some time.

I'm always amazed that the following things are true at the same time: a) Cell phones not in airplane mode are supposedly a safety concern for airplanes. b) Tap water I bring from home is a supposedly a safety concern for airplanes. c)

This all might very well be, but it does not reflect reality. Everybody calls himself Software Engineer, nobody calls himself Softwareingenieur. As if Google Deutschland would not hire you as a Software Engineer (or SRE, ..) if you are miss

"Software Engineer" (without German translation) is used as an official job title by many German companies and the German linkedin is also full of people describing themselves as Software Engineers. This is the first time I hear s

This is (from the perspective of the state) good money laundering, because you pay taxes on it.

Note that before 1cp-LSD there was 1p-LSD. My impression was that 1cp-LSD, 1v-LSD, and 1d-LSD was published precisely the moment the previous *-LSD was banned. So it is quite likely that somebody already has a successor of 1d-LSD in his dra

That is, quite interestingly, what Germany is doing with LSD-like substances. They banned, in this order with 1 year between, 1p-LSD, 1cp-LCD, and 1v-LSD. 1d-LSD is currently (openly and seemily legaly) sold in Berlin.
