BEAT THAT PETAR MOLINEXU!
BEAT THAT PETAR MOLINEXU!
If you’re already working 40 hours a week, focusing on stuff out of hours is going to be hard. I know this all too well!
I was thinking more along the lines of ‘nightshift’. 😀
There are a lot of jobs that require out of hours support, specifically those that aren’t tied to business hours. In tech at least, many of the sites and services you use are built off the backs of software engineers that are paged at 5am because latency is a little higher than normal.
There is a very easy solution to this dilemma: pay someone to stand ready at off-hours.
They are still using Reddit, so one has to wonder if they have not abandoned sanity and intellect a long time ago.
I read “Tuccan chicken” and was wondering how much meat is on those. Hah.
Some regulation changed, and that is great. It is now much easier than before to put a photo voltaic installation on your roof that has a peak energy production above 10 kWp. That used to be the magic barrier beyond which things would get drastically more complicated, beaurocracy wise. Tax hell, basically. So that is gone now, and my SO and me installed a 25 kWp installation on our roof because of it. But let me tell you: it took six month just to get it connected to the net. The local energy net provider did not manage to swap our meter for a two-way meter for six months. We were able to power our home with it, but we could not provide any power to the net. Just because that company was too stupid to click a button somewhere to send instructions to another company to swap that energy meter. That other company was here on an unrelated job a month after our PV installation was done, and I asked them about it. They told me they could theoretically do it right away, but they had no order to do it, so they couldn’t.
On the other hand, very small installations (“balcony power stations”) are popping up everywhere, the kind that are 600-800 Watts and plug right into your power outlet. In theory, when installing them, you should fill out a form to give your power provider the chance to swap your meter so it doesn’t run backwards when you’re not using all the power, but nobody I know ever does that. I am guessing that that also has quite a bit of effect on our power mix.
This says otherwise. While coal (hard coal+lignite) use had been slightly elevated in 2022, it is already below the level of 2019 now. Natural gas use is mostly for household heating, which is usually non-electric in older houses in Germany, so there is some weather related fluctuation there. There are some gas powered electricity plants for emergency use, but they are only fired if there is no other way.
Will it shut down after the seven years, telling you that the software running on the TV is “no longer supported”?
English letters? Really? So basically no a-z, only Æ, Þ, Ƿ, Ð?
To my understanding, it has always only been usable with a subscription, so…
Is this like an… idiot tax?
Are they wrong though? These are the geniuses that buy Trump-branded bibles they’ll never read.
As now embedded serverside ads are a pain to deal with. I don’t know if any adblock currently can surpass those.
But next step will be youtube just putting a fence up and not letting you watch content unless you are registered, and thus banning any suspicious activity, or even just becoming a paid service
Honestly, I have not seen youtube ads in ages. Every now and then, when I have taken sufficient leave of my senses after having imbibed, I may attempt to view something on youtube using a device without an ad blocker, and then I am quickly and sharply reminded of what a dumpster fire that is. But on PC - no sir or madam, no ads at all, thank you very much.
Personally, I think the much bigger problem of sites like youtube and tiktok are the unforgivably horrible “recommendations”. You search for something innocent or even just open the website, and you are recommended random closetted or open fascism, misogynie, racism, or other garbage.
“It’s been very, very disappointing. It was a no-brainer. I’m voting Democrat, and it doesn’t take intelligence, it just takes compassion, whether you’re a grandparent, whether you’re a parent, an aunt or an uncle,” she said. “Everybody should be treated equal. It doesn’t matter color, race, gender. It’s just a travesty when you get the government involved with trying to legislate how we should feel.”
Free life pro tip: just never vote republican ever again.
I taught my niece to say “I can’t work like this!”. That was fun!
There is a quote I like by famous character actor and certified psychopath Klaus Kinski who once said to his audience (translation mine):
If only you were hot! Or if only you were cold! But you are lukewarm, and I spit on you!
UpperBroccoli really wants Microsoft gone after it pisses him off everyday for years
“Will it blend?” - in today’s episode, Larry Ellison, massive waste of skin and resources.
