How is a based 90s antenna a joke to you?

I would take it anytime over some weird USB-C!

Well, isnt the West also backing the Ukranian Far Rights, too?

There was a absurd article in the major German newspaper WELT today speaking about Ukranian soldiers with swastika tattoos and yet "having a lot of respect for Jews".

When this war is over, we MUST seriously take care of Nazis in Ukraine and even now do EVERYTHING to stop any weapons delivery to the Ukranian Far Right.

No, you will NOT downvote me! I am not speaking about people serving in the army without Nazi ideology, I am speaking about those Far Right radicals.

Can you be so kind and explain the setup behind the youtube-NAS bridge? Are videos being downloaded automatically? Are subtitles added to the local files? Do you have to manually select all videos you want to archive/safe on your NAS?

What NAS do you have?

Close enough to a monopoly.

And this is hopefully killing Apple. Right now they charge a premium for 1) having a seamless experience between devices, 2) being something else than google. Apple was interesting because you was paying for the hardware and software with money, not with data.

Regarding 1) Hopefully the EU will help breaking up the monopoly

Regarding 2) Why should I buy apple and pay the premium? I will buy Samsung or Huawei.

Same here. Those shitty providers are a too high risk.

Many years ago Microsoft has banned my outlook account for no reason. I tried contacting the support to resolve the issue - nothing. Only after writing a letter, I received the answer from Microsoft Germany:

We banned your account because I was distributing porn through onedrive (which I was not doing). The investigation showed that Microsoft could not find any wrongdoing. The account was gone nevertheless.

This is why I say:

- skip Gmail/Outlook and all this crap, use something proper like mailbox.org with your own domain - dont trust cloud. Backup once a month, use two clouds at the same time, have a cold storage with your backups - biggest risk is your apple icloud account. dont be dependant on them: dont use their credit card - dont use google/ms 2fa apps - have multiple accounts in parallel: one for google drive, one for search, one for mail (if you need it), one for youtube, etc

Fully agree. I do not like it either and the article sums it perfectly up.

The best multitasting UI has been figures out: Windows taskbar with non-minimized and non-grouping window elements in the taskbar. This gives you the ability to put any app into the foreground with only one click, you see all windows that are open, close them easily and rearrange them. Plus, you see which apps are running and which apps are closed. And finally, it is very space-saving.

I wished Apple would re-invent the dock+top bar+those 3 different window managers that are running in parallel.

Great for them. I doubt that they will be able to manage the overall supply chain as well as the original company, but IF they manage, great for them indeed!

Those McDonals, Coca Cola and Starbucks brands have not much innovation. They are easy to copy and replace. And this is a good opportunity for Russia to develop its own brands.

Obviously they will copy the concepts in step 1; step 2 will be operationalizing the business, managing the supply chain; step 3 must be expanding and innovating.

I wished that Germany would do something similar and replace the McDonalds and Burger Kings that we have everywhere.

Is this the beginning of the Era of slums in developed and rich countries?

Wondering what your approach is to convince Nigerians and Indians on including a carbon tax and making their struggle into the middle class even more expensive :)

What is not being posted in news often enough are the options that we have to mitigate the effects. the only thing i read is that we need yo drive down co2. fact is: we are not gonna reach the targets in a reasonable timeframe. hence, we must start preparing to mitigate effects. instead we are caught by climate catastrophies like the current draught in europe, us and china and we are running around like headless chicken.

let us setup multi generational projects on international scale to develop mitigations.

this os mot being covered well enough in media. the only thing i see in 80% of the articles is status quo reporting of climate change effects (fires, draughts, rain) and YET ANOTHER climate change warning... and ofc some aggressive climate terrorists that are getting too much coverage, too.

Ukraine is just collateral damage in this proxy war. Not more.

Are you being paid for your opinion?

this is rather to limit economic exposure to a war that the US is planning. as now the US war against Russia in the proxy war in Ukraine, Europe and especially Germany will be the main victim.

The US foreign politics is the main evil in the world and the EU is still following the Americans. It is incredible.

We must get rid of all American influence in Europe, ban US tech, ban US military, get rid of the US propaganda, brands, social media.

'And while you don’t actually need to be in a relationship to be happy, men typically are happier and healthier when partnered.'

And this is the key takeaway for me. Nobody has the "right" to get a partner, hence, it is critical to learn to be alone, not only for guys, but also for old people.

That is the best solution.

All those armchair political experts here when it comes to China.

Kindly refer to the Taiwan crisis in 96.

Sometimes I feel people here are trolling. "China is provoking a war".. and this after being surrounded by American Air Force bases in the West, East and South, having US aircraft carriers being sent in front your door, having agreements being broken* (no high key visits to Taiwan), getting anti-Chinese propaganda by US presidents 24/7, being pulled into trade wars... and then being called "aggressive". As far as I know China has invaded exactly 0 countries in the past 100 years.

* "By 8 July 1996, after intensive talks in Beijing between US National Security Adviser, Anthony Lake, and China's equivalent, Liu Huaqiu, the US committed itself to the equivalent of a fourth Joint Communique on Sino-US relations. China and the US reaffirmed the validity of the three previous Joint Communiques but in addition, the US stated that it would not support Taiwan's independence or its attempts to join the United Nations."

if I'm an investor, then i want that the company is making me more tomorrow than today. I cannot eat customer satisfaction.

that's how it works.

can we PLEASE break out this political anti-Russia, anti-China bubble and stop posting those trash articles here?

What they write:

"As CEO, I approved and took responsibility for our ambitious staffing trajectory – this is on me. "

What he totally forgot to mention:

"I also take a pay cut to reduce the opex burden on the company and to retain as many FTE as possible"

I fully agree.

The worst thing is that people seem not to realize the long-term effect. Everyone is talking about the winter.

Cheap energy is NOT coming back though. It is over. The window of opportunity for NS2 is also closing.

Germany has the choice to either do what Putin wants and survive or hold on to its values and lose its competitive advantage.

China has a luxury tax on top of all other taxes, incl. the VAT. That was one of the reasons why supercars were bought in Hong Kong rather than mainland China. And I am not speaking about the plebs Lamborghinis or Ferraris.

Worked in the luxury car industry over there for a few years. Trust me, the rich have their ways.

To see what "the other side" is reporting.

And frankly, RT's reporting style changes massively after the ban.

Science and prestige probably.

Don't forget that China is still catching up. In the 80s, when it started developing, China was poorer than any African country.

The Soviets and Americans also did a lot of borderline and dangerous stuff when doing prestige and science.

Times changes here in the WeSt where safety is first. It will also be in China one day, too.

I would love to see the same map for China. They have a fantastic HSR network and great trains.

Great that you share cruel isolated war crimes by some maniacs on a tech website.

WHY cannot we have such stuff here in Germany? WHY is everything here so much Kleinklein? I am very mad!

Good for Texas! It is the place to be.

Guess what, that's not blame, but en explanation of the bug.

They will hit.

LNG will be exported to Europe. Prices for gas will go up in the US. People in the US a very price sensitive. Worst case: Kazachstan style unrests in parts of the southern states.

Not only this; Europe is heading towards pretty rough waters in short and long term. Cheap energy from Russia will have to flow somewhere and it will be not Europe. Europe needs this cheap energy though to keep its competitive advantage. Instead countries such as China and India will get yet another edge and will be able to compete even further.

In the short term we will see civil unrest and populism rising as this war against Russia is currently mainly supported by Western propaganda. I give it 3-6 more months until oppositions start to form.

Sanctions against Russia sure work, but they are cracking, too. Exceptions are being made already, gaps are filled by Chinese competitors, 80% of Russians are supporting this "operation" and see the reasons given by President Putin confirmed. Those people know how to suffer, remember the Crazy 90s when the West was celebrating in ecstasy while the Russians lost all their money, went down into a corrupt mafia swamp, GDP fell to 1960s levels, braindrain set in, life expectancy fell by 10(!!!!!) years? The Russians can suffer, the West cannot.

My worst case prediction is that Europe will be the loser of this conflict: populism, stagnation, GDP growth WAY below the US and China, Euro-crisis, inflation, political fights and blocks between EU member states, constantly high energy prices at 50 cents per kwh, loss of utopia, further fragmentation, migrant crisis.

Best case would be to demilitrize Ukraine, make a deal with Russia and go back to what is was before. Accept that Russia felt threatened by NATO, address this. De-couple from the US, make Europe strong, create our own army and nuclear deterance, but not expand towards Russia. Make proper contracts with them and adhere to them. But this is not acceptable because of PUTIN=HITLER arguments.

Real politics is dead. Value politics are killing us.
