Avoid Euronet everywhere in Europe, just find a bank or credit union with an ATM, they will charge you no or very little fees usually, unfortunately Euronet have a lot of ATMs at airports and in tourist hotspots but their fees and conversio

Stack overflow has been dying for a few years, too much sweaty turbonerd stuff and for JavaScript they always seems to give bad examples.

Nah, it's be another "cost of doing business" type fine, zero impact on Meta but it makes DPC look "tough" on enforcement.

I hate the slow right click menu too, why is there a forced delay? I think visual design peaked a few years ago and now we are deliberately overcomplicating every piece of UI for no apparent reason.

Jesus, I think reddit is leaking. Lots of whiners in this thread, if you guys spoke French or German you would know the UK isn't that bad.

You aren't really whining, governments 20 years ago were worrying about "boom and bust" cycles but it feels like we only get "bust and bust" cycles at the moment.

Yeah, to be fair solar PV can be hard to estimate in countries with lots of feed in solar panels because it is decentralised.

So many repost bots too. I don't even browse reddit that much and I see the same posts over and over or videos and images reposted and taken out of context. It's becoming similar to the gutter press tabloids that aim for shock val

Plus you have the people resigning around the lay-offs. Nobody wants to be on a sinking ship and having your workmates sacked and morale at the company dropping can make people think about other opportunities.

I love the non-Scottish people coming out of the woodwork trying to be experts on British politics. The SNP threaten to leave all the time, they lost the last vote by a landslide but they basically have to keep the threat alive to keep the

They obviously found a good niche, people don't want to be overcharged for "premium" accessories and the cheapest stuff is usually useless or dangerous.

It basically is at this point. Every time one of these companies like Facebook, Google, Twitter...etc get caught doing something dodgy they just say it was the algorithm's fault and call it a day. Like when Facebook was selling ads to

Content seems interesting but the generic corporate image at the top, crap font and off-black low contrast text colour is getting on my nerves.

Maybe you need to find something that you really enjoy? It feels like you are just hoarding information at the minute, if you enjoy learning something and find the technology useful then you will find it much easier to stick with it. This i

I guess they have good intentions but you can't simply make a phone have a replaceable battery since phones are tightly packed nowadays, you may have to change the way the phone is packaged quite considerably if the battery is not near

More like stagnation, I think pretty much everybody in the world has either decided to use or not use Facebook, there is nowhere for growth since it doesn't appeal to young people and their brand is pretty toxic.

Japan is a weird exception. The house I live in the in the UK was built in 1896 and isn't out of the ordinary, if the building is maintained properly you are fine.

Is it really an easter egg if you have to change binaries to get it to display? Seems more like an unused asset that they didn't take out.

They already have, most AV software nowadays is adware. If you are lucky they'll just slurp your data and maybe get you to install Chrome or some other random piece of software but some are even using your PC to mine cryptocurrency now

That's right, basically kitchen appliances, although fancy lads have separate utility rooms for washing machines and tumble dryers, and they often come in white so I guess the term stuck.

The general population isn't becoming more technical though, as an example almost everybody drives cars but most people aren't mechanics. People see cars and tech as a means to an end, which is perfectly fine for me. They just wan

How is not touching a programming language until college a bad thing? Some people just want to make a living out of software engineering and then go home and they aren't sweating over Web 4.0 or whatever we are on now.

Indeed. Why do people rationalise this stuff in such an odd way? Attention isn't currency and advertising isn't a foreign exchange. They mention about having a new "mental model" so mental gymnastics is probably an appro

The users of TikTok are mostly teenagers and young adults, that's why. Nearly everybody in journalism is late 20s or 30+. They just don't get it, though to be fair vine had a similar type of content and that failed.
