I’m in Central Europe too and most cars are manuals. Must be just your neck of the woods. But I agree it’s a pointless debacle.

If they feel the need to polish their texts with LLMs because they’re not comfortable with English, how would they tell the output is bad? I can tell you first hand it’s sometimes …

I could pick the LW up at night in my car from Slovenia!

As a Slovenian I’m always impressed when tourists take the train and make it through the country without huge delays or replacement bus service. The trains here are just awful, the…

...and disable swap.

There are some German cities (Munich) where you can’t enter the city center with a diesel car that doesn’t meet the EURO 4 standards. EURO 4 is a low bar but there’s really nothing…

Seatbelts are actually heavily enforced around the EU, most people would rather just belt up than pay the fine.

It won’t be long until someone finds a way to flash the firmware or install a bootleg sensor or something else. You can already get a lot “chipped” on VAG and BMW cars.

That camera isn’t on all the time scanning your face. God knows what sort of sketchy implementations car companies will come up with.

Not really, it will still be fully road legal, at least in my EU member state.

You are kind of expected to adjust yourself to the culture of the country you’re immigrating to. If you fail (or refuse) to do so in the most obvious/visible ways possible (like cl…

Depending on the country in question, SWE jobs might be quite scarce, so companies can afford to be picky about the candidates. You have outliers in both ways (companies that don’t…

I agree. I find it tacky when people buy old BMWs and Mercedeses just to throw the original (often mint condition) radio unit out and put in a cheap carplay display. Like you have …

Right, until you have to use a mobile app to pay for parking or validate your bus/train ticket and so on. Yeah, "I can use my physical card", for now. Long-term we need a better so…

Good for Germans then. Slovenian banks won't let you use physical 2FA authenticators (for personal accounts and maybe even business ones at this point) anymore and will also requir…

It's all good until your European bank starts requiring unrooted Android and iOS for their mobile banking app, then tries to force you to use that app instead of letting you sort t…

Firefox 152.0.2, try scrolling to the bottom and back up at different speeds, keep the page open for a few minutes, try again... Dunno if it's the case with yours but many similar …

That’s the German Holy Roman Empire, not the classical Roman Empire.

Two things regarding the website: - scrolling is so extremely laggy that the website is almost unusable on Firefox on macOS on an idle MacBook Pro (even if it seems smooth at first…

There’s plenty of people spending hours commuting by car each way over here too.

There’s plenty of rural Europe too, but Europeans mostly use vans (tradesmen) or tractors (farmers) instead. Both have much better visibility than those tall trucks with a long hoo…

Does Windows still go crazy when making an “aux” or “con” directory or has this been patched?

From my experience using Outlook, they could keep the Outlook team for bugfixes only and still have enough work for the next 5 years just improving/fixing the classic version.
