I’ve had nothing but issues with NC instant upload, and stopped using it. It’s error prone and needs constant hand holding for no good reason. It didn’t handle taking a picture and then deleting it instantly very well (and will throw your notifications at you for this, often more than 1). When you have limited connectivity it will utterly confuse itself and ask you to resolve conflicts for 100 files for no reason, when it could just checksum server and client files and notice they are all the exact same. Also when set to only upload on WiFi, and not being connected to WiFi it often still spams notifications that the “upload failed”, despite not being supposed to upload anything. And btw. it could upload files just fine, they failed only because upload on mobile is disabled!

It’s a nightmare. Commonly also referred to as a cluster fuck.

It really sounds great, but I’ve also read that the law contains zero directions/rules on prices for the replacement parts. So you might be able to get a replacement battery for your 200€ phone, but having to pay 200€ for it.

I man I hope not, and maybe not every company will go out of their way to follow the most malicious interpretation of the law they can (competitors might not, it’s still a somewhat competitive market).

Doing the calculation isn’t hard. It’s harder to know how much energy (be it electricity, gas, or whatever) you actually use. It also varies wildly with meals, as some need multiple stove tops (is that the right term?), possibly for varying lengths of time and/or the oven.

Please note that you can not really deduce the energy consumption from a power rating, as those usually are max values and not what it’ll actually need.

I have good enough energy monitoring that I can measure the usage (sort of), and having rather high electricity cost at around 0.40 €/kWh I do pay some attention to it. Running the oven for like an hour will be roughly 1€. Boiling water for pasta or something is probably more like 20 ct (includes cooking the pasta). Just using a lid actually helps a lot here if you make use of a lower power setting after reaching a boil and putting in the pasta.

It’s gonna have to be a very elaborate meal to break 3€. So while it does matter and add up, compared to buying fully prepared food from a restaurant, it isn’t that dramatic even with very high energy prices like these.

Cooking appliances use a lot of power, but they don’t run for whole days at a time, so the energy used also isn’t that dramatic. There’s a relatively recent video by technology connections that goes into detail, and might be of interest (link).

I just saw this post but didn’t look any further into it than reading the title.

Switching is possible now, if you want. CoMaps builds have been released for a while, and are in f-droid I think since today? I have no idea about Google play store.

If you’re happy with osmand there’s no point to switching IMHO. It’s a much more simplified interface, so customization especially compared to the enormous options in osmand are relatively limited.

That being said it does work just as well, judging from the little use I’ve had.

I don’t know a single person who graduated “on time”. This may differ from country to country, but here the nominal times are just waaaay unrealistic. I’m sure it’s possible, but at least for me I would’ve missed many opportunities, and I’m glad I took the time.

The direct shortcut for opening task manager actually also had special handling for problematic situations. This includes low memory and high CPU.

I’ve had situations where the direct shortcut worked, but ctrl-alt-delete didn’t. Never had the opposite.

Ctrl-shift-esc opens task manager directly.

It doesn’t affect refurbished computers. It doesn’t affect used computers. And all those still run windows 10 and 11 just fine. You’re just not allowed to sell a windows license pre-installed on new computers with these old processors anymore.

You can still buy them, build a computer with them, and use it, even with windows. Windows supports them just fine. Just oems can’t sell them in a new PC it with windows pre-installed. Used PCs are also fine. You really don’t want a world where you got like 6 versions of a core-i7 in the same store, ranging from 8th generation to 13th, confusing everyone not tech-savvy enough to know (and care) about the difference, so like 95% of people. It also prevents more shady companies from seeking you an old Gen processor, conveniently omitting the details of which generation it is, unless you check the fine print

There are also inverse market effects to your e-waste argument: if companies keep buying old Gen, CPU manufacturers might not scale up production of new generations because demand on old ones stay high, preventing prices of new gen from coming down due to lack of scale.

Finally, this practice isn’t new, it’s been like this for literal decades. There was just some very shady “journalism” going on recently, picking up this change and just misreporting it going full “fake news” on the subject. This is basically a follow up on that “wave”.

I also had a pebble 2 hr, even had two because I bought another one off eBay (unopened box). 3d printed some buttons and used is for many years until the battery basically died, and the software started to show it’s age. Notifications became unreliable and such things, making it kinda pointless.

Still want nothing more than for it to work properly again. It’s easy enough to swap the battery, now with the ability to fix the software, there might be a point to it.

Have you actually thought about the first point in your second list, the door? Imagine the machine is running and actually full of water, and turning it off releases the door. Would that really make you happy?

That said, your other points in that category are fair, and honestly incredibly weird. I never had a washer do any of that, but I assume it’s to stop your clothes from wrinkling. Are you sure that can’t be turned off?

There’s this saying “this isn’t an airport, no need to announce your departure”. So unless there’s an actual need for people to know where I am going and/or why, there’s no point in telling them.

If the people in the room are your close friends, that’s a different question though.

That looks exactly like the backyard where salt&tar (YouTube channel) are currently building their dingy for their wooden boat. Fence, bushes, everything.

It’s great and all (it really is), but the target audience was just presented factorio 2.0 (and space age), so we’re busy for a few months.

Satisfactory with it’s 1.0 release yesterday. Just pure serenity.

I think he meant you can use the android phone as a webcam for Linux. There are apps that let you connect via WiFi, and it essentially proxies the camera out.

Well there more than one solution, if you want it. First of all, podman actually works fine with docker compose files. There may be some adjustments needed in other places, because despite the claim of being “a drop in docker replacement”, it just isn’t (quite). So assuming you install docker compose (not docker), you can just “docker-compose up” (note the dash) and it should work. Should.

Your can also just spin up a VM and install docker with compose in there, just for testing and/or running immich.

“Immich” might be a real option, I don’t quite understand why you think it’s overkill?

I mean syncthing has been mentioned plenty, but of course Nextcloud also solves the problem. It’s can’t truly sync a folder, but it works fine for backing up photos and videos.
