I hate auto-playing videos. Several news websites in Germany embed an auto-playing video in a news article. Often these videos have nothing to do with the article. And then there are some that even turn into a pop-up player when you scroll

Not to forget: 29" wheels have the same rim diameter as 28" wheels used in road bikes (622mm). Obviously. (The reason: mountain bikes use lager tires than road bikes, so the complete wheel is larger )

There are several Telegram bots for this. But of course very questionable in terms of privacy. I had the idea to write one myself, I found an open source project to host it myself, but I don't remember the name. Fortunately, the voice

You really don't need expensive gear. My first long distance hike was 150km through scotland (West Highland Way) and I spent about 80€ for a pair of used hiking boots. The rest was borrowed from friends and I've used my family&#

I literally can't open Twitter links on my phone (Firefox as browser). It always says "something went wrong" and reloading a bunch of times doesn't help either. If I use the same link on Desktop (or change my phone brows

I have a kind of similar story when I started studying in the late 2000s years. There was a company that had a specialized and really expensive measurement device. But the vendor went out of service. They changed part of their system but ke

Amazing. HD47780 displays are not only commercially ubiquitous, they were used everywhere when casemodding was still a thing. But so far, hardly anyone seems to have thought to exploit the possibilities.

If bass roll-off is so important, couldn't it just be implemented further down the signal chain? I mean, after all it's a low-cut filter, isn't it?

My problem with passwordstore is that it's just not convenient to add passwords (via browser). With Bitwarden or KeepassXC the extension offers to store the login data when I sign up or use one login for a first time. With pass i have

I'm not on board with this. It highly depends on the type of software or service you offer. Anecdotal example: I've used a lot of "free for students" or "free for personal use" software during my university tim

You are almost right: The distribution of letters and length of words is similar to that of the Latin language. But it is not Latin and the text does not make sense. It's gibberish.
