Another important issue for the streamers/youtubers is the soundtrack of the games. Some tracks can cause DMCA takedown requests. Sometimes even automatic. Game devs have taken notice though. Some more recent and popular games have streamer mode which excludes tracks like these.

Actually the thesis of the article is that the focus on the "ultra-enthusiast" is killing the mainstream and budget end of the market.

Unfortunately the gaming hardware prices are also shooting for the top https://www.pcgamer.com/ultra-enthusiast-hardware-is-strangl...

True. Also a lot of other EU countries are being sued for not transposing other sets of laws. I think almost every EU country is being sued for something like this.

Thanks, I haven't heard of Nordigen before, and it seems they have coverage in my country.

I agree with everything you said. Except the DLCs - while they add content, they feel like somebody is copying from a Game Design book. Here is a cool new thing, but we will make it miserable and hard to use in these ways. Have fun. Also in general Rimworld is pretty linear somehow. I play a few colonies, I get bored, then take a break for half an year. And repeat.

Do polar explorers use some other navigational aides then? I wonder how inaccurate is the GPS really close to the poles.

While I like OSM for some use cases, and have contributed, it can not work as a replacement for google maps for every day use. My biggest problem is the search - absolutely unusable.

It is great that Raspberry Pi Foundation releases articles like this, but I still can't buy a Raspberry Pi. And I use rpilocator.com

Almost all EV owners are charging them during the night, when the electricity demand is lower.

And ok, maybe some upgrades will be needed in some places. But the situation is not so dark as the person above described it.

There are so many false statements in your post, I don't even know where to start.

The grid absolutely can handle EVs.

The range of modern EVs is totally fine for almost all cases.

The price is an issue, but even in my poor Eastern European country the number of EV exploded this year. Mainly second hand small city cars, but also others.

Propane converted cars are still pretty popular in Eastern Europe. LPG at gas stations is 2x cheaper than gasoline in my country. The popularity comes from the lower salaries here so I don't see EVs becoming widespread in these parts in the next decade.

Damn, this sounds weird coming from a first world country.

Well, for a start it is not a single product. VW is a huge group consisting of a lot of brands, and hundreds of products(vehicles). I guess he wanted to bring the software development of all of these under a single company.

I don't know why you and the parent post are being downvoted. I also live in EU and would be interested in information specific to this region.

Let me look at my Github. Oh only about 50 of them. Most of them I am too ashamed even to talk about :)

I was also really annoyed at the darker bits, so I wrote some custom css rules for the twitch site.

https://xpz-wiki.uk.to/ This is a wiki/encyclopedia type of site for the X-Piratez mod for OpenXcom. The game has many thousands of items and tech to research. And it is hard to understand which tech is required for another. At some point I will build a tree of requirements feature.

Looks like you have watched the most recent video of TechnologyConnections youtube channel :)

Yeah, but no. NATO is just an excuse. Putin has said numerous times that the fall of the USSR was a mistake and Ukraine belongs inside.

It's posted in some Bulgarian dev forums and groups, and people are coming here and upvoting it, I think.

This is good, but I have way more sites I can procrastinate on. So I use a browser add-on to block them - LeechBlock NG for Firefox.

I have 10e, and is a good size for me. Why would you put a LineageOS on it, what are the benefits? Samsung has updated the phone to the latest Android version. Also are the banking apps working after you replace the OS?

Well this is the "good outcome" IMO - Putin doesn't order an attack, and starts mocking NATO countries for spreading fear.

One thing that is possible in the event of a war is relocation of the talent in neighboring countries. A small case in point - in Bulgaria there is a small but growing number of Turkish people in the IT. The ones I have talked with don't like the political situation in Turkey.

The Verge's take is funnier though: https://www.theverge.com/2022/2/8/22923772/doj-irs-bitfinex-...

This is a perfect description of Bulgaria. I would only swap "gated communities" with social bubbles.

Citing a site full of anti NATO crap hardly makes your point.

No. It has to be about 1000 times bigger than a Megafactory.

I wonder how do you calculate 8% costs. Also is it possible to include in the calculation the "discovery" service that twitch provides?
