For me, the issue isn't so much DNS itself, but more that there are more things that try to resolve names on your PC, like /etc/hosts and all the stuff you put into resolv.conf.

Then you read online that you should try dig or so and those tools don't really match up with what your tools do(=resolving via libc), because dig really only does the DNS part.

"will be removed in a future release"

So this is not even planned to be removed for some releases. TBH I'm surprised it wasn't already deprecated.

I remember trying out jitsi in 2020 and calls with more than ~8 people were painfully laggy, others got logged out, etcpp. I don't imagine this working with classrooms of 20+ pupils. But there did exist alternatives like BBB which did mostly just work (or Zoom with similar issues like Teams)

I'm not saying you're completely wrong from a business perspective, but the open source hobbyist community on the other hand is pretty big here. Just the structures haven't kept up.

also offtopic: I get SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP in Firefox and Chrome. Am I the only one?

The myth that nuclear is cheap needs to die[1]. Nuclear is only "cheap" because of government subsidies that mandated its low price per kWh. The actual cost is far above most other options. So if we subsidize anyways, why not subsidize cheaper energy production methods?

but then isn't every integer a power of a (non integer) base? In this interpretation the statement is pretty useless.

This is pretty good, but since it's static, you can't use parameter generating methods (e.g. for combinatorial input or derived tests). And if you do that within the test, you're back to having to manage those on your own. JUnit&AssertJ really do have advantages on Rust here.

I learned that those switches are actually pretty standardized and you can just desolder them and buy proper ones for ~1$ and at least my older G500 could be opened and disassembled fairly easily.

GP explicitly said AB, so I don't have to compare it to ABC imho.

I'm glad they continued the "An Update on X" = "X is getting axed" tradition at google. It's one of the few constants. Maybe they even have a UX guideline about it by now :D

If tipping is 90% of your income, isn't this a kind of tax avoidance scheme? Or are tips taxed just like normal?

> So you have all the heat pumps going on full blast on the coldest days, all together. It's a huge spike in energy demand. As long as the grid can deliver it fine, but when it doesn't the potential is catastrophic.

Repalce heat pumps with gas furnaces and you have an equally true sentence, if "the grid" is the gas grid.

Gas usage also spikes on those cold days. You know what people do to prevent this being an issue? Storage. Nothing you couldn't also do with electric power.

> The same "green" politicians who forced the shutdown of a perfectly good fleet of carbon-free nuclear reactors

So you say that they "forced" the shutdown by somehow convincing a completely opposite political party (the CDU)? I agree that shutting them down, especially without building alternatives quickly enough, was wrong. But blaming it on the greens? really? They might take like 1% of the blame in your argument.

If they really had that much falsehoods, lies and propaganda in their claims, the energy companies, their lobbyists and, like, _the whole government_ might have found at least some of them questionable and debunked them, don't you think? And "the greens"(I'm pretty sure that a big part of them and their voters is actually not anti-nuclear) were the first to criticise the shutdown, although mostly in how it went down.

Blaming the shutdown (solely) on the greens is downright bs.

Just how is this (I assume non-corporate) private 5G as easy as Wifi? Wifi is basically: buy a router anywhere, plug in a network cable, maybe configure the network, use the credentials on the back of the device, done. No extra server needed, no SIM cards, no Mobile Operator IDs etcpp.

Even in a mid-size corporate setting wifi is just so much simpler.

Maybe google didn't fire them because things didn't go well, but still, having to fire people (instead of reallocating them to better-fitting positions or not hiring intge first place) is a management failure for me, in a scale which a CEO resigning(or at least lowering their income/bonuses) would be justified. But maybe this is just a difference in opinion.

Afaiu there are compounding factors like 1.5 here and 1.5 there should result in 2.25 and so on

The problem is rather, that they didn't decide yet (e-privacy directive). The gdpr was meant to be general, it was designed to not have technical details because it applies to everything.

Sure, the greens have not prolonged the nuclear power plants, but right now this is mostly an economic decision. It's just too expensive for too little gain, to change plans again and again and again. The providers planned with destruction of those plants in mind (after being heavily compensated for shutting them down early).

Planning to shut them down (without adequately speeding up replacements) was a mistake. But it's also a mistake to now decide to keep them (just 3! plants) running

> Solar/wind is far from ideal, requiring more cement, metal and other materials [...] than other traditional concentred power sources

Citation needed. Afaik nuclear is not expensive because of it's ongoing resource need but because of its construction (and also regulatory) costs.

Or rephrased:

"Stripe wrongly blocked millions of payments." What a headline!

Let's see which news outlet will use it.

We all know how much of a scam carbon offsets are atm. Realistically I think it will be at least twice that amount just for carbon taxes, never mind the additional fuel price.

well... 10% votes with only 75% (60mio) people eligible to vote and 76% people voting makes ~6% support of actual voting people. And this was in 2021. I don't think they have that much support anymore.

And while they are "just" exercising their power, they also do so by going against the coalition agreement they signed before, while being obviously influenced by VW/Porsche guys. I'm not sure there is much democracy left in this case anymore.

> Is VW CEO Oliver Blume aware of these roadmaps?

Apparently he isn't :D (see below) but what can you expect, he seems to be new on his job.

This article also adds a bit more context to Blumes opinion: https://insideevs.com/news/658291/evs-and-ice-vehicles-on-ef... No clue if it is true though.

The car makers already announced that they will adjust. Just look up the plans of VW for example. They probably aren't as opposed as you might think.

You probably have misunderstood the law. It was supposed to ban fossil fuel cars and vans only. No trucks, buses, planes, diesel trains, ships or even lawnmowers. You can still use (and will probably have no choice but to use) fossil fuels or expensive e-fuels. (although i think buses and trains might already have laws about this).

The liberals wanted an exception for cars, where even most of the carmakers have pledged not to sell ICE cars. It's just nonsense.
