I just know half Winsor, and when I need to do the [trinity knot](https://agreeordie.com/features/fashion/626-how-to-tie-a-nec...) for special events I have to look it up.

This is a UK based study, and most American cars outside Ford and Tesla aren't that popular there

They do, and so the police (at least in Europe)

Probably we follow the same subreddits ;-)

I'm refusing to update to Windows 11, and won't do until I buy a new machine or something like that, and I wish I could go back to Windows 7, where the task manager doesn't get frozen when things go bad or where there are programs like "Settings" made with that Metro/UWP apps that go slower than most Electron apps written in JS.

The best thing about 'winget' is being able to have a powershell/batch script in you usb stick to install the last version of most of the software you use.

The only 'requirement' to use winget is updating Microsoft Store after installing Windows and install 'App Installer' from the Store, at least in Windows 10.

This is really interesting not just as an app per se, but as a new human-machine interface.

This should be great as a team working tool, where you can ask if something is done, how were done, what parts are missing, retrieve what is done, etc.

Integrating this in a ecosystem like Google Apps, Office 365, or similar would be great in order to being able to access that information inserted in other ways, with the pluses of email, calendar, and sync services.

Not OP, but I know people who mix two-stroke oil with the gas to have better reliability, but AFAIK you need to change apex seals sooner or later.

For me it's sad how such an interesting engine had so many problems.

Most kids know how to use the public transportation, and being ouside is safe enough to let your kids outside without needing to be with them.

Also, some European countries do a really high effort to make their public schools so good that rich people study in the public centres.

This kind of shady devices should be banned in Western Countries, not only for trying to get their users' information, but also for being a device that can go directly to the e-Waste bin without a minimal usage

This is a western-wide situation, or at least we have the same problems in Europe, point by point.

Are oatmeal difficult to find without sugar in the US? I find it the best to have at breakfast due how less hungry I get over the day with that.

I had Twitter around ten years ago to talk with content creators, like youtubers or writters. Outside that is mostly a politics and celebrities echo chamber.

That's why I love so much the AppImage project. Just download, double click, and you can execute whatever you want.

Totally true. In Spain happened the same in the from the 50s to the 70s with thousands of people emigrating to France, Germany, and other European countries, talking about how well they could live and how they can eat every day, but excluding how they live in mass in barracks away from local people, and how most of local people made an effort to avoid them to integrate (like making them go out of bars and buses).

The writer probably forgot Asia exists

Is shocking for me how after studying Telco Eng. I've used or learnt about 90% of them, and it's sad how most of us would never use them again.

I don't have anything to support this, but I think WhatsApp get down every time they make a major server side update.

IIRC there was a major down just before they added calls. Maybe I'll check up later the dates

People who don't want to mess around with low level configuration. For me, using an Arduino is the equivalent of prototyping a software in Python instead of doing it in C.

I haven't used any Expressif product, but is easy to find a problem or a bug while programming a MCU if you're new with it, and you don't know exactly what registers you need to edit to configure to set up the hardware correctly, or if there are hardware details, like the use of multiplexing in pins, to deal with.

With Arduino you can forget a lot of the smaller details, and you only have to know what pins to use, how you want to use them, what devices use, and the simple functions Arduino gives to you to use them (which are commom across most of boards).

Even the first Arduino Nano where an Adafruit idea/product

If I need an account on four Lemmy services to don't missing out all the available content of a "sub", then it can't substitute Reddit.

I had the Mi A1 since its release until a couple months (fall in a water bucket and broke), and it was a perfect phone at that time:

Pure Android experience with no bloatware, 2 full days of battery with moderate usage, a decent screen, fast, confortable to use, and also was cheap.

Nowadays most Android phones have plenty of bloat and lack some specifications unless you spend some money. It's sad how a cheap phone that were usable was €150 to €200 and now the bracket is between €300 and €350.

> I refuse to use the service anymore after they shut my account down because a withdrawal failed

I don't know how people still usrs PayPal after so many people had those issues

Asking as a person conpletely out of that world: Can DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro do the same as After Effects and be faster?

AFAIK Google Coral is an inexpensive TPU you can buy right now: https://coral.ai/products/accelerator/

Please, don't buy our cars here in Spain. Most of people here, specially young people, cannot afford a new car with our 1100€/month after taxes of mininal wage and our 350€/room /month (in cheap places) on the flats we usually live.

With that situation, we usually buy cars before 2005 or so, and we pay those 3k to 4k euros in those, and usually with over 250 000 km (155 000 miles). Depending on the model, they even can be more expensive than people would think: A late 90s Nissan Terrano would cost from 6k to 7k, and my current car, a Korean one that cost about 13k in 2012, now cost from 9k to 11k (unless it has too much mileage or isn't in a decent shape).

For me it's sad how I have to use Edge (because it's already included in Windows) due to many pages don't suporting Firefox. Google has made all they could to make both people and developers to use Chrome and Chrome-based browsers.

As an European, I have to agree a lot with your vision. I might disagree a bit about the entrepreneurship if you also add in that category small business and self-employed people that does business outside manufacturing and tech, because there are a lot of those works very well and actually make a lot of families to progress economically.

I would make even another point here: At least in Spain, the figure of the "angel investor" or the "venture capitalist" is basically non-existent to normal people who had a good idea. AFAIK most of them only invest in real estate, and those that have some tech investments only invest in projects that are starting to give some benefits, are made by some known person, or have other important investors.

For those who could know more: If this isn't correct, please correct me. Also, I know this could be not applicable to the whole Europe, but I don't know at all how are business outside Spain.

I won't be surprised if they used the Angry Birds IP to sell another movie

I think this could be different depending of the country. In Spain the most popular engines in premium cars in the 90s were the 2.0L and the 2.5L turbo Diesel, and lots of compacts and mid-sized sedans, specially at the late 90s, were sold with 1.8L to 2.2L engines (Peugeot 205, Citroën Xsara, Renault Clio, Opel Corsa).

At the early 2000s, about 90% of the cars sold were Diesel IIRC. We always care a lot in terms of economy where buying a car, and with a Diesel oil cheaper than gas, and Diesel cars that had more mileage than petrol ones, there's the reason.
