I will never tell my real age if possible. I especially love free forms for entry, because then I can be born in the 1800s. Surprisingly few services have an issue with that.

The preorder did hit 10k, this is the normal order screen

i finally had that song out of my head.

Wero is fun to use, but there so many features missing. The terminals, for example.

Or, an easy way for vendors or car rental agencies to block a set amount when you rent a car.

However, all of these things can be built and I hope Wero gets the time to grow into a full alternative to US-based payment systems.

Not because I want them to fail, but because this market can use a bit of competition and new ideas.

i agree, but you need your people to have 2 logins. Great for friend groups, not working in scale.

No voice chat.

The thing is: None can compete with the Discord in its core features. They either have good chat or good voice, but not a combination of both.

Discord replaced Ventrilo, TeampSpeak and Mumble simply because it merged Slack/IRC-style chatting with an easy to use voice chat that took less resources than skype and less setup than any of the self-hosted version or cheaper than a hosted version.

Low-latency voice chats combined with Slack, I don't know why no one has an alternative for that.

Plus, the backlog of playable games is so awesome. I am working through things I always wanted to play that I can now throw on my steam deck.

If its open, heroic can include their code or solutions, as they do with proton. Rising tide lifts all boats.

I have the same feelings about Bambu. I really like what Prusa is doing for the community and how they drive it forwards - but the Bambu simply works without fuzz. I also came from an Ender and its just so much fun.

gridfinity is really addictive. I have no idea what I want to do with it, but I want to print more.

> The other has an SUV and lives in the country with bad roads; They sometimes use their porsche to commute to work and for everyday-stuff like shopping.

That blows my mind.

I guess its the same mindset as people who buy a mercedes "jeep" (don't know the product id) or range rover and live the middle of the city.

you know the sad thing? Porsche didn't even try.

They could have copied Teslas playbook and create a cool, fun, overpowered electric 911 or Targa or pull an old, fun concept and make it electric.

Instead, they have a boring SVU and the panamera, one of the probably ugliest car they have.

No one buys a Porsche because they want a sensible car for their family or they need something with large storage. They want midlife-crisis cars that go fast and look sleak.

They are now giving up on their entire electric strategy.

I don't get it. They could have ridden the wave of electric fun vehicles, instead they are giving in. Either because they can't do it or because they had no real interest to begin with.

fair point, especially in the west. But looking at the market share, Android is probably the platform to build for, especially if you have an additional phone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_syste...

I don't know. I do not like Jack Dorey's involvement. Not a big fan of his.

I'd rather use Briar (https://briarproject.org/)

I'm the opposite; I do not like wearing rings. I have no issue with my watch, however.

I am running a Netgear Nighthawk when I am on the road. But the Mubi7 looks interesting - I would not want to go back from 5G to a slower networks, sorry :)

companies will go where the money is. If Valve enables, say EA, to have their yearly franchise and in-game-stores on mobile devices, they will find a way.

"below the index", according to the UploadVR article linked. So below 1000 USD

they are porting FEX to Proton, and according to the VRUpload article linked it has "shockingly little performance impact". This could be fun.

> Very cool, should be very hackable. Very unlike every other standalone VR headset. That might be the reason I'm going to buy it. I want to support this and Steam has done a lot to get gaming on linux going.

looks cool, i hope kagi adds it to the assistant.

< Which again brings me to the question: why? Why would anybody do that?

Because why not have a fence that at least generates some power instead of a fence that does nothing! Costs are not that much more, 2k is easily spent on a bigger fence and this way, you don't have to get up and hustle, our fence does it for you!

I think that is one of the facts that I like about solar. It plays towards tinkers and builders unlike any other power source, can be surprisingly flexible and seems to scale pretty well. Also, besides knowledge about electricity, you don't really need and special knowledge or take additional precautions (besides the usual, safety third and all).

We have that too, but it basically moves money around, like a debit card. A few key features from credit cards are missing, like reserving an amount for a car rental. That would be the most relevant thing to get right.

I think it would help create fintech local alternatives to Visa and Mastercard, if it gets feature parity. It could be cool and, to be honest, this market could use a bit of a shakeup.

no, its not. He exercised his right to not be insulted and slandered - same as if those people would have walked up to him and talked to him directly.

Especially if you see the hate that was sprewed at him at every single post, news, update or whatever, i completley understand. This has nothing to do with criticizing someone - Habeck actually has a good track record of sitting down with other people and talking with them, but stuff like death threats.

More background here at politico https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-robert-habeck-files-... this were massive attacks leading up to the european election not people unhappy with "Ze Greens".

Also, on the "old man calling him an idiot”:

<< Habeck authorized prosecutors to pursue the case for the insult against him by issuing what in German is known as a "Strafantrag." However, this is different from an individually-submitted criminal complaint to law enforcement authorities known as a "Strafanzeige," and could indicate that law enforcement had first invited or asked Habeck to press the charges. Prosecutors did not specify who had approached who first.

So, not Habeck going after him, but simply saying that its ok to pursue the inquiry.

<< The Bavaria resident is also accused of posting Nazi-era imagery and language earlier in 2024. According to prosecutors, this post may have violated German laws against the incitement of ethnic or religious hatred.

Yeah, that "old guy" seems like a real treat and not at all like an asshole right-wing dumbnut.

https://www.dw.com/en/germany-greens-habeck-presses-charges-...

The old guy was also not convicted, something the right-wingers found super cool.

>> He’s also totally correct in calling out the obvious lunge towards authoritarianism

>Yes Pavel and this is 100% correct.

a lunge he happily helped support with telegram and vkontakte as long as the money rolled it. Poor rich guy.

"Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet

Bull. Shit. If you break the existing laws, by insulting or slandering someone, you might have to face the consequences.

But I guess it is easy to point the finger at Germany and conjure the specter of the fascists if you live in Dubai, come from Russia, and created 2 of the biggest troll-mills ever. Would not want to rattle the cage too much, would we.

they will, just not as long as it could potentially be used against them.
