Indeed. I'm still using the phone I bought in 2017 (OnePlus 5T) and it's still 100% adequate. In fact, my wife is still using my previous 2013 OnePlus One and though it's a tad slow and cramped in storage, it's still 100

DVDs are fine. You can find many things at pawn shops for 1€, you can buy most new movies for 7 to 20€ at most, and you can resell those you don't want to watch anymore. I'm only subscribed to Amazon Prime but actually don't

There are apparently two things that particularly trigger phantom braking : bright sun and dark shadows on the road, for instance roads lined with trees are pretty bad; also flashing yellow traffic lights (normally means that you can simply

From all the tests I've made recently, BMW, Mercedes, BYD and Renault all do better than Tesla. Push the left turn signal, the car switches lane, accelerates and overtakes by itself. In the EU at least Teslas can't seem to get thi

Tesla once looked futuristic, but now they're sorely lacking : automatic windscreen wipers still don't work properly (they work perfectly well on my 2005 Ford Focus, thank you), they now lack basic ergonomic features such as a tur

No that's barely a bad excuse. The projected market for the new line is 500 000 passengers a year, that's 2 trains each way per day. That doesn't even begin making the slightest sense. As passenger traffic cannot be a valid j

Same in other countries for many things. It's relatively easier to spend big on white elephants but almost impossible to get basic day-to-day operation money. Case in point right now at the France-Italy border : they're building t

Nobody's ditching the dollar. However Saudi Arabia and China significantly reduced their investment in US bonds lately. Also notice that the interests on US debt come dangerously close to the whole of US discretionary government revenu

There is no controversy at all among entomologists and biologists : pesticides are responsible for the huge destruction of insects, birds and biodiversity in general; they're probably very dangerous even to us. But money.

My late grandmother had some pieces of furniture that were between 300 and 400 year old. We need less stuff and particularly less new stuff . A 400 year-old wardrobe ("armoire normande") is exactly as good as any new one to sto

The problem is that you're talking of massively freeloading social an environmental costs of humongous size onto other people and places. Sure, "flatpack sawdust and glue" furniture made by slave labour while destroying rainf

Yup, most common multi-platform remote control tools (AnyDesk, Teamviewer, etc) simply don't work if you're running Wayland. Major PITA if you're doing some form of tech support...

In Firefox, click on the small "Picture in picture" button, then click on the "full-screen" corner button to make any of the videos full-screen. OK you don't have the faces overlay, but you'll have a nice full-

For this reason I usually run screen locally and tmux remotely, that's good enough IMO.

I go even farther: I often use tmux in screen or the reverse. For instance I'll open a terminal (generally rxvt), then run screen locally, and from within screen connect to various machines on which I'll run tmux (because I almost

Weird, I never ever use Google. When I do out of desperation (like when DDG was down two days ago) I find its results atrociously bad to the point of being almost useless.
