Watched this video earlier today and I definitely hope German city planners in my area don’t embrace this required car-centric approach to infrastructure more than they did for cities like Munich .

Memories once buried have been unearthed…

But really, books already are not the way to make a fortune unless you are in the field of basically being able to dictate what books are used in every educational institution in an entire nation. How would they imagine a pirate, who shares these books, has server upkeep to pay and at best gets very sporadic donations, could afford a lavish lifestyle from this endeavour?

Smart! If my company ever digitises enough to make this a possibility, I’ll implement (or at least suggest) it!

Yeah. The clown award (and similar “derogatory” awards) giving the receiver Steam points is the worst thing that happened to the quality of posts/comments on the Steam forums. The first two comment pages on patchnotes of games like Helldivers 2 are almost exclusively pointfarmers doing their best to reap clown awards.

Okay, thank you for the comprehensive answer! I remembered wrong, I actually have the GTX 1660 Ti. Ever since I switched from my 970, I always mix up the numbers. Nonetheless, it changes almost nothing about your statement, I think, lol

I wonder what they think of as high-end GPUs, though. I’ve been using a GTX 1060 to run my games for around two or three years and am mostly happy with performance vs quality. Would a GTX 1060 today be out of AMD’s scope already or are we talking rivaling Nvidia’s 40xx series today?

Edit: If the video answers that, I apologise. I’m at work and can’t watch it immediately

Right? I’m sure there are memes like that about humans when they just stupidly stare at an oncoming wormhole expansion shuttle.

By whom and why would the sites get DDOSed if they didn’t use Cloudflare? Am I wrong to assume that internet traffic is just as trackable for the internet provider if the server traffic first visits Cloudflare vs just using whatever the provider…uhhh…provides?

Mind you, while I can follow a logical argument, most stuff concerning networks like the internet still feels like magic to me for the most part. We use Cloudflare because, after reading up on it a little bit, I got the notion that it would likely improve our connection speed and especially the loading speed of my gf’s webtoon sites. But that’s about the extent of my knowledge.

Yup, now the only reason for me to occasionally switch to the actual YouTube page is to give videos likes and subscribes (that actually count for the person and aren’t just bookmarks for myself)

I’d love to know that, too. I understand craving the security of a monthly “paycheck”, but I avoid subscriptions whenever possible because all those individual “Giving that cause/software/YouTuber 2€ per month is barely noticeable” do become noticeable at some critical mass

Thanks for the clarification!

Ooh sounds pretty neat, thanks!

Heck yeah, love me some Asp and, because the description mentions it, Samsas Traum! Thanks for reminding me of them. I’ll drop a couple dozen of their songs on my phone again for commute-music!

Thank you for pointing that out. Nuclear reactors today (and many even “back then”) are very, very stable and have so many safeties in place, that it’s hard to cause a second Chernobyl meltdown, if I’m not mistaken.

Indeed. It could be a huge win for Nebula, in fact. At least I hope if the users on YouTube lose that a different platform wins and it won’t just be a net loss for users and YT-competitors.

How do I do this? When I open up the magnet link, it only seems to give me one checkbox for the entire 10 TB thing. Sure, I can check “download first and last parts before anything else” but it would still try to download all 10 TB, no?

Edit: Nevermind, I didn’t grab one of the files that has aac in its name.

Even though I agree that the piracy-route is easier and more comfortable, it’s good that account deletion isn’t as straightforward as a single button on the account page, without further verification. I certainly wouldn’t like to lose my Steam library just because my Steam account details were leaked once. A second and maybe even third separate step being necessary is smart for anything that involves a substantial amount of money.

Aside from not having a big say in our software at work, I actually do need MS Excel a lot. I haven’t found a free alternative that supports my VBA code without a really big hassle :(

I knew I wasn’t just imagining things. I like to listen to music on YouTube when driving to work. And sure, the internet reception there is spotty (danke, Merkel), but for a couple weeks now I’ve consistently had a very long “buffering” period every time the next video/song loaded up.

Well, joke’s on them. I found out about NewPipe and its built-in video/audio downloader, because I complained to an acquaintance about it.

Oh yes, I did read that sentiment elsewhere, too, and that’s pretty much the only way I can get behind the weird/nonsensical chemistry. It’s just a bit unfortunate that the reveal of the simulated (and melting reality) is explained only a couple dozen hours into the story. So I feel for the (admittedly small) subset of players who wrongly learn that this is how chemistry works before being able to make the mental leap that it’s possibly intentionally this weird and unrealistic.
