Yeah, I visited sweden once, where I camped in nature. The cities were meh, but the nature was very nice.

In the east maybe, its definetly not bad at all in northern germany (Schleswig Holstein).

I dont know if they have all the metal you want, but maybe Youtube Music. One youtuber has stated that he gets about twice as much per view from YT Music than he does from Spotify.

Edge has started doing that too, whenever I download something from my Home Assistant instance while at home I have to rightclick and say that I really want to download it.

As long as such an option is available its not too bad.

Huh, I didnt even think about the word sea, as a non native English speaker I didnt think of it. I get the argument that the baltic sea and the Meditarranean are both seas and not oceans, but I looked it up too and, yeah the definitions flow into each other (lol). (Also, greetings from someone who lives a few kilometers away from the baltic sea).

The Meditarranean is also an ocean

If its a contract with unlimited employment time, like most contracts in Germany are, he cant fire you anyway, at least not without a valid reason, which could include: stealing, not doing your job, always coming late when there are meetings, stuff like that. But you can only properly be fired for that, if you do it multiple times (depending on the severity), you will get written warnings beforehand.

Another reason is mass layoffs, but they have to have a valid reason too, which doesnt include “oops we hired too many people last year”.

So under normal circumstances you will not get fired in Germany, its a different story if you only have a 2 year contract for example, then you might not get a renewal, but a company cannot indefinetly rehire you with a limited contract, they will have to give you an unlimited one, if they want to keep you for longer.

At 11V you are already damaging most lead acid batteries, especially starter batteries.

If you only do it a few times it will probably take it, but not much more than that.

I cant even max out my 1gbit with steam because they use compression and my CPU just cant decompress fast enough.

1Gbit/s down and around 200mbit/s up (fiber) Costs 40€/ month in northern Germany. And no data limit of course.

When I have kids I will allow them to go on the Internet, but I will teach them about where to find good content and stuff like that.

They will ultimately have to learn how to do this anyway, so its better to teach them early.

And I dont want to completely block their internet access because their classmates will have it too and it sucks to be the only one who doesnt, you just dont fit in quite as well and arent able to talk about stuff from the internet if you dont know anything about it. (I am speaking from experience)

I think touch controls make sense in cars, but only for navigation and advanced settings, like for how long the headlights should stay on when you leave the car, should the mirrors fold when you lock the car, stuff like that.

Everything else should have a button.

I would say risk taking isnt always bad and not always illogical. But yeah, as a man I know what you mean when you talk about testosterone and risk taking.

I imagine it used to have quite a lot of benefits back when we were still sleeping in caves, shure you might die when facing a mammoth, but you could also feed the whole tribe for weeks when you succeed.

And they also shouldnt require specific browsers and a CPU that is less than 2 years old to stream content in resolutions above 720p.

Its not because its not possible, its because it lacks some bullshit copyright protection.

Here in Germany most (German) websites use .de, so its definetly not unprofessional here.

I am also not surprised that .de is one of the most used country TLDs out there.

That is true, until it isnt anymore. At one point Google will become so shitty and other search engines much better, that everyone will start to switch over, but at that point its too late for Google to do anything about it.

But thats somehow beyond the grasp of every shareholder ever (or they plan on selling the stock in a few years anyway).

And Celsius is 0 for freezing water and 100 for boiling water, sounds much more practical to me

(Almost) my entire house is smart, but nothing talks to the cloud anymore.

So nobody can get that data except me. Some exceptions are that I dont have or want smart locks, that just seems to insecure and unreliable.

They stopped including a charger a few iPhones ago. At least they can just buy USB C to A cables if they have USB A chargers, and those cables are going to be cheap, unlike apples cables.
