Official stuff, sure, but not system generated email from giant companies like Microsoft

I’m amazed at how much better the official launcher is on Linux than on windows.

Windows:

• complains if your logged in account doesn’t match your game account
• Requires you to log out of one account to log into another in a not very clear or user friendly way

Linux

• No logged in account to complain about
• Lists all your accounts and lets you swap by clicking on the one you want in the accounts list

So take MS to small claims court. Get an order for them to restore your account and user name per the licence you presumably still have a copy of

I have gotten more free accounts on Minecraft than any other game. I bought it twice on Java (not counting copies I bought for family) and once on bedrock, so when they moved accounts to Microsoft and gave every Java account a bedrock account and every bedrock account a Java account, so I now have three on each version. A second (or third) account is useful for rescuing your main account in some circumstances

A search in Gmail (which that used) finds stuff on spam. Also Gmail won’t put a Microsoft company’s mail in spam

If they’re embedded in a combat group they take their chances.

You can get the artifact with no problems at all by telling shadow to wait in camp

Side loading is practically useful too. I was on a dining holiday in Italy. Italy has zero traffic limits in various cities which are best found through the ZTL app

But that’s a region limited app, and my phone couldn’t see it. So I downloaded the APK and installed it. I couldn’t have used that app had I been using iPhone.

I use an app to cycle through a dozen different backgrounds. Some of them have bold colours. Google handles it fine. I feel like Apple would tell me to manually set the right colour four times a day

The article describes a tool that grabs the data without admin privileges, but yes, there are methods used by current malware to escalate privileges.

Search: block app from internet [my operating system]

Licences are different than physical goods.

But isn’t piracy exactly identical to stealing? I’m sure I have seen advertising saying so.

Long rural trips for cars are fine on electric, as long as there is fast charging on the way. The car takes as long to top up as the human takes to take a break from driving

Trucks, ships, aeroplanes, off roading will need dense fuel. Trains might need fuel, but most of those should be electric

But it’s an electric car with a much lower efficiency than one that uses batteries

People don’t seem to get it. Electricity to hydrogen to electricity to motion is really, really lossy, and hydrogen leaks. It is worse than electricity to hydrogen to methane to power.

I think Teslas get stranded because they lie about their remaining range

You can use regular power outlets if you drive less than a couple of hundred kilometres a day. I charge mine on a 15 amp 240V plug and it charges from 30% to full in about 10 hours. I charge about weekly

The good thing about modern batteries is that in a decade after they are new and are down to 80% capacity, if that’s not enough for you and you want to keep the car, a new battery will be cheaper and/or better

Leaf owners got twice the range from new batteries compared to the car when it was new

1. Almost all hydrogen is made from fossil fuels, it’s much cheaper than green hydrogen, so you can guess what people would fuel their hydrogen cars with
2. Electricity to hydrogen to electricity is really wasteful, you get less than a third the energy than you would if you went electricity to battery to electricity
3. It’s really difficult to store and transport, it is very very low density. Being the smallest atom hydrogen can leak from practically any container or pipe, but that doesn’t compare to (2) above

I think Toyota only promoted hydrogen because they knew it would give internal combustion more time. Toyota are really good at internal combustion engines

But she already has a perfectly good machine, is just super slow on the newest version of windows
