It is the UK/Nordic system which I find morbidly bad. It already assumes you will never pay off the property and you pass it down to family and children, possibly multiple generati…

A normal sized plot with a house listed to be torn down on in outskirts of Zurich costs 7mil. A 2 bedroom apartment on the countryside costs 2mil. You will not pay this in a lifeti…

With all the other Xbox layoffs, studio shutdowns, price increases, rumors of pulling titles from Steam, what do they still expect from this brand?

Nowadays I see these sites as nothing else but mining grounds for personal profiling by big tech. Nothing can be a cutesy show-off anymore.

This "no fiddling" could be the single entire counterpoint to the article and hacker culture in general. All the problems stem from "consumer wants no fiddling".

For billion dollar US megacorporations? Yes, it better be, finally (even though this is a slap on the wrist they will pay). Look at China's rules for internet companies there. Or h…

It's why they say social credit system is already way more built out in the US than any other part of the world.

Or just buy a $15 dongle instead of the crap interference-laden onboard BT and have problem-free USB passtrough as well.

Besides support, the only correct feeling about this "well that sucks, I'll selfhost or open my own source sharing service with different guidelines". I wouldn't have backed this d…

Yes this is extremely unresponsible if so. Fingerprints are legally protected biometric data in most juristictions.

There were hundreds of such misplaced tech hopes, and hundreds that did become true - all those "visionary" quotes of newspapers talking about video calling and remote libraries. W…

This would have been a very smart and useful article up until 3 years ago. Now with AI doing this work is a minute, with most if not all considerations baked in, if some strange qu…

Wonder how much of those Waydroid installs are from scam farms. I can imagine some legit uses, but not this amount.

Oh look it's the quarterly "revolutionary battery tech incoming" article.

Why would you do that? Why not use it to create a detailed plan and let it implement by a low cost model?

They no longer need to. They have a core business to finance whatever stupid ideas ad infinitum. When was Oracle or IBM successful at anything new last time? Yet they chum along wi…

I wish they would better support external image sources - images not uploaded/managed by Immich, just a folder of images it has access to - especially if it's read only. It mostly …

Yes, I think most people have several accounts, or at least a main and a "spare money" account. If you can prove a fraud the law mandates the bank to back it up. In EU bank apps th…

In EU most people use direct debit. The term "credit card" is almost synonymous with debit. Chargebacks theoretically exists but they are more complicated, I don't know anyone who …

This ship has long, long sailed. If you don't spend your all your 24 hours as an office worker using Microsoft software, or you're locked in with a PC from 30 years ago, chances ar…

E2E tests are now quick to write due to LLMs, and are then deterministic AND cheap to run. How would this compare to the token costs of running an agent the whole time for each tes…

Cheap, low-heat 10G copper is already here. RTL8127 NIC is under $50, $200 nets you a quality 4x switch (CRS304-4XG-IN).

Maybe the shouts are less about "hey I have a concrete solution for a complex hundred year old ethnical problem" and more about "hey an authoritarian state shouldn't be allowed gen…

Misleading to call this "cap population", no one can cap population. The vote was about capping immigrant benefits, mostly aiming germans (reaching 9.5m) and then Swiss EU isolatio…
