98% [1] For all practical purposes the electricity here is 100% clean except for emissions occurring during construction. Huge concrete dams add quite a bit of CO2 to the atmosphere when curing. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/

Most of the electric cars sold here are leafs and e-golfs though. A tesla is still around 800k NOK which is a little less than twice the average annual gross salary or a quarter house (unless you live around Oslo or Stavanger). I'm dri

That's my take as well and has been for a while. Even if I'm not of a segment of people that gets selected for "random searches" I don't trust them to believe I have no facebook account etc when they ask for the pas

And even more ridiculous, since they now have ads on the gmail app I get ads in my G suite account on android. They also constantly try to "unify" my email accounts so that they mix personal g suite email with my work exchange ema

Afaik it's built to a ubuntu + vulkan setup, but I suspect the rendering will go directly to a proprietary encoders framebuffer and that it uses custom input mapping and not libinput. What would be nice if they released offline linux +

It's one of the reasons I will never buy any games on google stadia when it launches, I expect it to be shut down in 2-3 years. I have the network to use streaming so I'm not so worried about performance, ps now for instance is al

I subscribed to them since the mid 90s but stopped once they went digital only. Not sure how many they lost doing that but for me at least having it on paper was the one thing that made it valuable to me as a subscription. High quality arti

What is even more confusing is having UI elements that don't work as you expect (not interested, dislike button etc). The search on youtube is also completely broken, I have not monetised any of my videos and the penalties for that mak

GDPR isn't internet specific, it applies to private data in all companies also "offline" ones. I've had to fill in a GDPR concent form on paper for my local car dealership and I put no to all forms of marketing.

Yeah I understand that, but how is it possible for a company to put such a service on the network so that it _can_ be breached, that was really my question. It shouldn't have the place where you put the update files exposed to the inte

No I mean on Asus' side. Like you should have a very specific procedure to put files on the server not let a random computer on the internet do it without an approval process.

I don't understand why one would allow untrusted IPs to upload software to be spread like this. Putting new updates on such a system should be part of a process with many checks on the way to verify the authenticity of the software?

Yeah, so the market will be filled with never-ending grindy games. Not my kind of thing. The only one I've gotten into of that nature is the binding of isaac which would undoubtedly do well under this scheme. But we need the story driv

That could work, although most services (gamepass, ps now) just buys the game for a period with upfront cash. A performance element would most likely reduce the former.

Crazy, I didn't know Telenor was in Serbia. I have a mobile provider that uses their network here in Norway, I got 171/40 and 22 ms ping. I'm in the countryside approximately 50 km from Oslo.

Yes but it is age restricted and you can also blacklist individual apps in the parental control phone app. She is also not using it without supervision, the same goes for her laptop. My wife or I sit next to her.

In my country (Norway) you're not allowed to target children with marketing. Coca-cola has already had a smack on their fingers for using "influencers" whose primary audience are kids on their channel [1]. This might hit goog
