Yeah, I live in a pretty rural part of Germany and even here I got multiple streetpasses per day

Yes, but the OP went 3 months without it and then messed up during setup

About a third of it is friends of mine, the rest is family and extended family

I guess it depends on your library size and how many users you are serving. My plex server has a library of over 110 TB and over 60 users, so to me a rack mount server for Jellyfin alone doesn’t sound overkill at all

Wait so you have like rack mounted server but only run jellyfin?

What would be wrong with that?

Despite what everyone told me on message boards about lack of support for Adobe products and CAD software…

Do you know something I don’t? I can get away with running Affinity software through wine instead of Adobe, but the only good CAD option is running OnShape in your browser, but then you have to deal with the terrible licensing model of OnShape

Not sure how you came to that conclusion, Reddits search function is notoriously terrible

Touchscreens are great to have, controlling Android Auto or Apple Carplay with physical buttons like you have to do in a Mazda is a nightmare.

The problem is when the touchscreen is used as a replacement for physical controls, instead of an addition. Stuff like controlling your climate control should not be exclusively controlled through the touchscreen

And don’t even get me started about VWs stupid decision to put touch controls on the steering wheel. At least they backpedaled on that decision pretty quickly

We already have road legal level 4 self driving cars for sale in Germany (Mercedes EQS and S Class), level 5 isnt far away.

If Tesla didn’t go the vision-only route they would probably also have level 4 autonomy by now

The terminator itself may not be very realistic, but Skynet absolutely is

You just need a bit of practice. I also broke the rear glass on my first attempt repairing a glued phone, but it only took until my 3rd attempt to get it done without cracking it.

That’s not true. It charges very slowly, about 12 hours to charge a completely dead battery, but it does charge

The bigger problem is that it’s expensive af, and since current gen Logitech mice have months of battery life and charge in an hour with the usb cord it’s really pointless.

Anything that has a very low power draw. You already listed one of the common examples: a clock. Due to rechargeable NiMH batteries having a high self-discharge rate you would have to replace the battery every year, whilst an Alkaline battery would last 5 to 10 years. Other common household items that are a good example would be TV remotes, smoke alarms, or smart home devices like light switches.

(on a side note, you seem to imply the use of non-rechargeable AA, which holy shit, if they’re still a thing, must be purged, sweet jesus…who’s dumb enough to waste money on em???)

You should probably educate yourself on the advantages of rechargeable and single use AA batteries before calling other people dumb for still using Alkaline batteries.

Rechargeable NiMH batteries are great for most usecases, but even the ones that are designed to have a low self-discharge rate still are much worse in that regard than Alkaline batteries. There are simply use cases where rechargeable AA batteries make no sense and you are much better off with regular Alkaline batteries.

I would. I have never used dollars in my entire life to purchase goods. But I have done so with Monero frequently

Yeah, cause VPN companies are known for complying with foreign governments…

So then the kids will just use a VPN

First, how does this fuck Russia the state?

It makes it more difficult for Russia to put backdoors into western IT infrastructure

If you are from the US it will be pretty easy to get German citizenship, but you absolutely have to learn German to live here, since most older people here don’t speak English

Bonus points: In Germany all phones come unlocked, regardless if you get them with a contract or not, and we still get much better discounts on the phones than in America.

Often times the total cost of the 24 month contract ends up being cheaper than buying the phone without a contract, so you essentially end up with a free phone plan
