Huh. Thanks TIL… I honestly don’t know why i have always read that as an “L”.

Well, it’s some remix of “Levan Polkka” “Ievan Polkka”, but which one, I don’t know unfortunately…

Edit - Spelling of song title.

Please tell me, they did a “War Thunder” and flew a drone right into the rotor blades.

I don’t know if this is a factor here, but we have gotten an ungodly amount of rain through the last months, so everywhere is pretty squishy.

That’s pretty spot on.

Huh, I heard about this incident. But the image is quite a lot funnier than I imagined.

Enshittification in a nutshell.

Don’t think of your death as failure; think of it as fun! Don’t think of Wal-Mart’s price hikes as war profiteering, think of them as war… fun!

That depends on where you live though. Here in Denmark, as an example, we have a certificate called “Statskontrolleret økologisk” which basically translates to “Government-certified organic”. There are specific guidelines and rules that need to be followed, to be allowed to use this seal on your product.

I find myself thinking this a lot. Someone goes; “and that’s my theory about…” And I’m like; that’s not a theory, that’s a hypothesis…

Personally I’ve had really good luck with the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 and R7800 models. They are supported by openWRT as well if you are into that. An issue might be that they are “only” WiFi 5 units. Some of the newer models in the Nighthawk series might be just as good, but i don’t have personal experience with those…

The suggestion of not owning games refers to having subscription-based access to them; as of yet only ever offered as a suggested alternative to purchasing games, which is still very much an option.

That is exactly the problem though. How long will it be until the subscription model is no longer an option but the only option? Because i would bet money on that being the actual goal.

A representation of everything that’s wrong with the modern tech industry…

I’m picturing the chip overload from Kingsman.

I don’t know why, but #3 absolutely sent me! 🤣

An order of magnitude more. It’s nearly half a terabyte.

Honestly; instead of trying to tighten emissions restrictions (perhaps beyond feasible levels?), the EU should have just moved this date closer…

Edit: I just realized: I wonder how the ban affects all the talk about synthetic and bio-fuels? Those are still based on internal combustion. Then again; although ideally CO2-neutral, they still emit NOx and particulate.

I feel that, at some point, the emissions standards get so restrictive, that it makes them impossible to practically meet. Making it a ban in all but name. I’m not familiar enough, with the original proposal for Euro7. But it seems like it might be at that threshold. The European Union needs to make up their mind, whether or not they want to allow combustion vehicles at all…
