It was a lot of micro-USB and some Lightning. CAT5E and lower. HDMI 1.4 and lower. All still useable cables for many people. It went to my local hackerspace.

Simplification of my digital self. Removed most of my online accounts. Removed all my VPS's. Removed most apps from my phone except core ones. Cancelled a lot of online subscriptions. In the real world finally moved everything to USB-C

I have been thinking about it but it is tricky from a legal standpoint. What I'm trying to arrange next time I visit is to have a secondary line installed at my parents place that is in my name. So that when I pull heavy traffic from t

I'm a big VPN user since I am the citizen of one country and the resident of another. Even for government services I have to use a VPN. I tried to access the bureau of statistics of my home country through my foreign residential IP and

Even worse is the Reddit approach, where leaving your VPN on will get your account shadow banned permanently. But you are not notified of that, so if you are wondering why nobody is replying to your comments, check in a private session if y

We have plenty of beheadings in Europe but not on a Flixbus.

Do people on Grayhound busses clip their toenails in sight of everyone? Is there open drug use? Do people bring bluetooth speakers and party in the back? In that case, yes, Flixbus is similar to Grayhound.

I remember 20 years ago where you could just impromptu hop onto a train to Paris, party for the weekend and come back Sunday evening. I just checked online with the Dutch Railways: - Train that leaves in one hour (18:00), arrives at 21:40 j

If you do this too many times, you end up with a train that never stops and rides along the world until the world is habitable again.

Population density of 4 versus 240 people per square kilometer. NRW has 528 ppsk. Ontario has 15 ppsk. Not surprising that Germany has a better train network.

I have been to places in Germany where it was a 45 minute drive to the nearest train station. I'm not talking about somewhere in the Black Forest but an actual village where people live. It's great for cities but for villages I ty

Amsterdam to Berlin is probably cheaper and faster by airplane. Even a car is sometimes faster if you count for delays. It really should be a three hour train ride but due to incompetence it takes over six hours.

From what I can see online, two-thirds of Germans use a car to commute to work.

Last time I had to go somewhere in Germany I used a Flixbus instead of their "high-speed" trains. The fact that I was willingly subjecting myself to a Flixbus, not because of price but because of reliability, really tells you some

At least you were able to make a seat reservation. In The Netherlands I frequently had to stand in first class while paying €600+ a month for the subscription. Ended up buying a car, that way I had a guaranteed seat with climate control.

You gave me flashbacks to my Samsung washing machine that needed a factory reset after changing my SSID. Which also reset the service life of filters and liquids and such which was somewhat of a hassle. Such a dumb design not being able to

I installed an AppleTV recently, so I don't have much experience. But the first thing I saw after the initial setup was one/third of the display advertising a TV-show on a subscription service I had to purchase. Would that count a

A bit of a shame. I had a Nokia 6090 with 8 watt of transmit power on 900Mhz. Combined with a 33 centimeter antenna that phone had reception in nearly all of the European continent. And with a 70Ah 12v battery you had a battery life of week

Love how a €7.5k 20 kilogram server is placed on a €5 particleboard table. I have owned several LACKs but would never put anything valuable on it. IKEA rates them at 25 kilogram maximum load.

Yes, and I am afraid that gaming PCs will move from the fully modular repairable computers we have today to small little boxes where you can only upgrade the SSD.

Seeing the latest Valve Steam Machine made me disappointed. No replaceable GPU, soldered memory, no socketed CPU. I really hope Valve isn't going to lead the way for unrepairable gaming PCs.

The Coca Cola poster on the impoverished wall is eerie. Reminds me of developing countries where to this day I see the same, run down shanty towns with Coca Cola signs all over.
