The critics of that era did not like it.

But it was on my radar ever since. This seems to be the right time to check if they were right. Or wrong!

"Support for all games cannot last forever."

...

Again and again and again... Sigh... Sadly I'm sure many of the comission will just believe that shit...

But then again, the big companies are obviously scared, that's a good sign at least.

Thank god! I hope that's the last time we see Orban for a very very long time!!

It's unstoppable. But it could go faster...

I mean, why is China investing so heavily into renewables? Not because they want to do good for the planet and from the goodness of their hearts. It's the cheapest energy source there is, and it could not give less fucks about some global crisis.

So please, EU, put the pedal to the metal.

Dedicated fans have finished the server emulator. For now it's single player only, but they want to release multiplayer later.

You have to get the actual game files yourself (for obvious reasons), but you can find them easily, for example in the internet archive.

I'm in the middle of the campaign right now, and so far it works flawlessly.

And since this was the only racing game I played on a regular basis, I am happy! Fuck you Ubisoft! Thank you dedicated fans!!

In the 80s there was a plan to roll out fiber optic throughout the country. But media mogul Leo Kirch lobbied for normal cable connections because he wanted his cable network TV to take off. Chancellor Helmut Kohl, his buddy, of course did what he was asked to.

So that today we could have fiber nationwide, but thanks to lobbying we don't. Thanks to Helmut Kohl and Leo Kirch.

Hi.

When using my tablet (Android 13, Lenovo) to post in Thunder I always get the following error message:

type'_Map<String, dynamic> is not a subtype of type 'String'

What I did:

  • Turn off tablet, turn on tablet
  • several alternative keyboards
  • all system updates
  • newest app version
  • deleted Thunder and reinstalled it

This happens since about three or four Thunder updates have passed. Before that it worked fine.

Is it a bug? Or might it be a problem on my end?

I'm tired of calling it protest votes. The last idiot in a cave should have heard by now that they are literally Nazis. People who voted for them are Nazis. Which gives me the creeps as a citizen of Germany.

But on the national issues thing I'm full on your side.

Laughs in GOG installers and good old physical media

The same farmers will protest in 10 years when their harvests will be destroyed constantly by heatwaves and draughts. "We had no idea..."

It's funny. Before this crackdown none of my co-workers used adblockers. To install an add-on was too much hassle. They just watched the ads.

Now suddenly they became interested after hearing about them again, and almost all are running Firefox with ublock origin now.

YouTube should have just kept quiet, I don't believe they are better off now more than before.

In Germany the streets are far too often a fight for survival. I miss the Netherlands, driving there, bike or car, was so much more relaxing.

But, you know, Germans and their cars...

And everyone is afraid of immigration. It's bizarre.

Hello! I hope you have a nice sunday morning!

But if you can spare a few seconds, could you please make a short check about the compatability? Or if I am missing something? I write under the parts why I chose them if neccessary.

Usecase: Gaming, rarely modern games, mostly 5 years or older titles. Also video consumption, and a little bit of work like excel or word. NO streaming or video editing and stuff like that. I have a 32" 4k 144 hz monitor, but I have no problem with running games for example at 1080p, they still look nice.

The prices are definitly ok for my country, so I'm just asking if anyone can spot an incompatability or has a suggestion where I do something extremely stupid.

It has been 9 years since my last built so I must admit I'm a bit nervous. Also I don't really have a budget, but energy efficiency is my main goal for some of the parts.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (409 Euro)

(longevity, using a i7 4770 for almost 9 years now, maybe I can repeat that)

Mainboard: ASRock B650 PG Lightning (204 Euro)

(many USB ports that I definetly will use)

RAM: G.Skill DIMM 32 GB DDR5-6000 (2x16 GB) 30-38-38-96 (113 Euro)

(low profile because big air cooler)

Air cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 (89 Euro)

(Silent Assassin is not available here, this was the next best thing)

Tower: be quiet! Dark Base 900

(already have it)

PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 12M 850W, 80+Gold (135 Euro)

(read good reviews)

Storage: WD Black SN850X NVMe SSD 2TB (120 Euro)

(read good reviews)

GPU: Gainward GeForce RTX 4070 Ghost OC (599 Euro)

(very energy efficient, would have liked to go the AMD route, but they are too power hungry)

Soundcard: Soundblaster X-FI Titanium

(already have it, love the features and connectivity)

Total: Around 1650 Euro
