I’m not American and don’t much care about American politics but having a debate between 2 people both so old they can actually die on stage while age cooked their brains at least 5 years ago is a spectacle I’m not missing.

They are called mother bee in Estonian.

That too. I actually didn’t think of that because roads here aren’t in a grid like ever so I failed to understand how numbering your roads would even make it easier.

It’s because one road is indistinguishable from another while malls, towers and tall buildings in general are quite memorable.

I’m in my 50s and I can’t do paper maps. I can navigate just fine without Google maps but I navigate by landmarks while paper maps seem to rely on knowing road names, which I don’t.

Around here when swine flu went through the country we basically lost the whole pork industry because the first priority was to eliminate the disease. Does the US want a pandemic to be named after them? Because it seems to head in that direction. I think Freedom Flu is a pretty catchy name personally.

Could we have HDR support instead of AI? Does anyone even want all this AI stuff companies keep pushing?

Google has been unusable in English for at least 2 years now. Searching in Estonian makes Google behave like it did when it was still good. I wonder how long that’s going to last.

I don’t doubt it, Apple has never had good gaming performance. But a non apple laptop in the same price range with X86 aimed at gaming can run it a lot better.

I’m pretty sure the old AMD APUs from the Bulldozer era can run factorio and that’s like a decade old.

Like sure, it’s some metric but I’m pretty sure any computer produced currently can run factorio.

That heavily depends on what the previous machine was. Like factorio runs on my laptop without taxing the system much more than just idling and on my desktop I can’t even tell it’s running based on performance monitoring. So yea, I’m not sure factorio is a good indicator.

Yea, obviously, that’s the case for most people. A lot of people for who a chromebook would be enough would not be effected, yea but for example software that isn’t getting new updates and like all gaming would just not work on other architectures currently.

I don’t use apple’s stuff but alternatives to X86 could be the future. The one thing they need is compatibility with X86 software otherwise mass adoption is heavily crippled. It doesn’t matter as much for Apple’s stuff since their whole ecosystem is under strict control but for general purpose consumer hardware that compatibility is required first.

Raising global oil prices should not really be a consideration when you’re fighting a war for your survival. Anything that can help Ukraine survive is good.

Eastern Europe would be a yes. I know Germany is super anal about copyright but dunno about the rest of the EU.

A relative in their 80s with a dumb phone is the average usecase for me.

It also includes calls and Internet. Also I have never sent more than 50 SMS messages per month so I guess I haven’t ever cared, most of my communication is either Signal, WhatsApp or Discord. On average it’s probably like 3 sms’ per month though.

I guess I always though it was pretty cheap since I never ran out of data or anything, I don’t think I could send 500 SMS messages if I tried.

They are expensive? I pay 10 euros a month and that includes 500 SMS messages and 100 MMS ones along with call time and Internet that I have never exceeded so I haven’t checked how much it is.

In the US or Germany: Straight to jail

In Japan: Your organs are now the property of Nintendo to repay this heinous crime.

Rest of the world: it depends.

It’s weird how I the US every bill does like everything and I don’t think that’s good but also short form videos are absolute cancer and anything that reduced that is a good thing.

I hope Europe takes some inspiration from this and either forces all data harvesting companies be sold to a European owner or be banned.
