Hm. I build my Workstation Desktop in 2019 with AMD and nVidia and an Ubunut flavor. Focused a little bit on low noise and a video card supporting several Screens.

Has assembling a Desktop become an art in 2021?

"Dell Chromebook 13"

I think there are enough Laptops that don't suck. And Ubuntu should basically run on most laptops. Fingerprint reader? I don't care.

For the older ones, how about a DELL XPS 13? Or Thinkpad? lenovo carbon x1?

You can get a decent latop for 200-800 USD. I love the DELLS XPS 13/14. But sometimes I get greedy and wish I had 16GB instead of 8GB.

Pff. That is nothing. Try to run your own mailserver and deliver a mail to a t-online.de address (T Mobile Germany).

They basically only accept pre-approved providers. If your have your own domain and infrastructure you have to petition them to whitelist you. Totally insane.

If you can read German, this guy who runs a shop decided to block himself all of t-online emails since they basically run email out of specification. https://blog.rolandmoriz.de/2020/09/21/t-online-blockiert-ma...

Linked in Profile does not exit anymore. But

"Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor at the Humboldt University of Berlin."

This sounds fishy. I am not sure that you can get an Engineering degree at this University.

That is really odd https://pdf.abbyy.com/finereader-online-end-of-life/

What may drive this decisions?

I have read a comparison about the structure of the Spartan society, basically consisting mostly of slaves like no other culture that used slave labor. Today we know what early experience of violence may do to a person and as far as I now, Spartans hat to kill one helot to be finally admitted into adult Society.

So we get two things.

1. A worrier based elite society, consisting basically of psychopaths

2. A society structure that seem more to resemble a concentration camp with guards.

Many [German] influencers don't even live in Germany. The German court thinks again it can rule the world with its ruling. Good luck with that.

How well does it perform compared to Abbyy?

I actually would buy Abbyy OCR but pricing for Linux ist just insane for private use. I just saw, the CLI is even discontinued: https://www.ocr4linux.com/

20 years after 9/11, BinLaden still takes money out of your pocket (Airport security, air marshals etc.).

Would you be so kind to elaborate on this? "I use plan 9"

You use it for your daily work? Is this possible?

No brainer. Basically all commercial purifiers suck (air), the DIY blow it. Big difference!

"I've only just heard of this, but it looks like it's an attempt by lots of big European banks to beat Mastercard & Visa at their own game!"

Not really. Europe has Vpay and Maestro/EC. Online payments can be done in some countries by "Sofort" https://www.klarna.com/pay-now/

They may just want to standardize it for all of Europe. In general, US banking often looks like stone age compared with Europe. Alo ne a money wire is annoying. IBAN payments are free. I think they charge a small fee for instant money wires.

Is she? I love China and if somebody pulls a stunt like that that may blow up in my face I would take action too.

Think about if you were in CS and a student of your would post some ISIS shit on the internet and you were threatened with a travel ban to the US. I think most people would think twice.

Doubt it. A self build filter basically outperforms all bought systems in tests.

The answer is easy: A self build system blows the air through a filter. Nearly all commercial systems suck the air trough a filter. Big difference.

NK too

You app with the chatbot is a bad nightmare. I would never use something like it.

Combine a Tamagotchi with your app, have the user "feed" them with his "habbits". At least you would combine two things.

With the chat bot? Move on.

Make SURE to select the correct OCR language

You better have a good liability insurance if someone hosts this for you.

ROTFL. This is called "Volkshochschule" in Germany. Hochschule can be translated to University. One guy from former Yugoslavia took an accounting course there, got a certificate and had this translated (to Serbian, Croatian or whatever). The translater did indeed translate Volkshochschule to Peoples University and the guy managed to secure a Professor position with it at a University. Of cause later this caused a scandal...

I prefer alcohol free apple wine. (no, it is not apple juice)

Ivy League to get paid $$$ in engineering.?

Really? I got nothing with my top notch STEM PhD. Got hungry, homeless an sick. But as mentioned by a friend. A STEM PhD must never be unemployed. There are always opportunities in the world. Be it in China or with Narcos in South America. There are opportunities. Never forget that! Nearly killed me that I forgot. There will always be one to pay you if you can deliver.

oh no. My free feedity feeds will keep working?

There is an OS based on Rust

I don't understand all the downvotes by idiots.

Yes, I am not a lawyer. Never claimed to be one. I have worked with law in two jurisdictions, incl. US. The fields were:

1. Patent law (I am not a patent lawyer either)

2. Regulatory (speak FDA)

While you can screw up, law is not that difficult. It is even easier in countries with codified law.

Thank you, will try it out.

Two things I am using:

Twitter to RSS: https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge

Arbitrary RSS feeds: https://feedity.com

You would be surprised what a judge can do in countries with rule of law.

I have several passports. Not a good idea to be honest. My embassies would get involved pretty fast :-)

Easy solution: File with the IRS, ask since you are dead, you don't owe any future taxes, right?

Trust me. Things will start moving very quickly.

Exceed the speed limit. Reject the fine claiming you are dead.

Trust me. The possibilities are endless and take my word, I would enjoy them.

This article sounds like bullshit and I am sure I could handle this without a lawyer in "administrative court". I filed 4 law suits in administrative courts in my country and won them all. I used a lawyer only once in another EU country for my girl friend since I did not speak the local language. In hind sight I may have done it myself since my language should have been recognized as a minority language in court in this country. But the lawyer was only 300 Euro.

This is still the west and courts still work. Don't be intimidated.
