Ein gutes politisches demokratisches System pendelt nunmal hin und her. Ob man jetzt die linke Seite oder rechte Seite besser findet, ist egal.

Ist aber lustig - ich habe mich früher eher mit rechts identifiziert, obwohl ich mit der SVP an sich nichts anfangen konnte - aber heutzutage habe ich oft mehr linke Anschauungen, auch wenn ich mit den linken Parteien auch nichts anfangen kann.

What about the very, very cheap piano pedals? Those are usually just a on-off switch, which is output over a 6.3mm jack. Connect that to an Arduino or something which emulates a keyboard and Bob’s your uncle.

Usually, logic levels are not a big issue, just saying. You have 5v anyways, all you need for a unidirectional level shifter for low baud rates is a mosfet and a resistor.

Ja, so wie wir das auch mit Japanisch machen.

Es ist genau so peinlich dass z. B. in dem einen Fate Anime sie mit der Inkantation “Strasse! Gehen!” zaubern, so wie wir hier irgendwelche Startups haben die “YASAI” - Gemüse, die machen Microgreens, oder “MIZU” - Wasser, machen Wasserflaschen, heissen.

I use vscode because I do a lot of embedded.

Used to be that you had to jump through some hoops to make it work - make your own makefiles and stuff. Now, all the major vendors of MCUs are starting to develop vscode plugins as their “IDE” instead of those horrible ultramodified eclipse installs.

Aus gutem gewissen musst du das auch nicht. Wenn du denkst, dass da in der Wohnung des Nachbars was brennt, du die Feuerwehr rufst, und es doch nur der Nachbar war der sein Essen verbrennt hat, musst du nicht zahlen. Wenn du aber extra den Nachbarn nerven willst und einfach mal sagst dass sein ganzes Haus lichterloh am brennen sei, wirst du dafür belangt.

For me it’s stfu

By at some point saying ‘OK, enough side quests, let’s move on with the story’. I plan to replay this game multiple times, so I do not mind missing some side quests in my first playthrough.

See Heise for example, they have their own instance for their news posts. It’s great.

Yup. The only time I pirate a game nowadays is when I can’t get it on steam for the 2 hour refund as a demo.

I mean the whole point that xboxers were making when the ps5 was released was ‘but gamepass!’. Now that ps also has their ‘game subscription’, I do not really see the appeal of an xbox, especially if you also own a pc. PS has exclusives, xbox does not - at least not ones I’d be interested in and couldn’t play on PC.

Yeah, same here. My 1080ti still performs more than adequately enough.

That’s also a thing about all this gpu pricing - things are starting just to become ‘enough’, without the need to upgrade like you did before.

Same thing happened to phones, and then high end phones got expensive as fuck. I mean I had a Galaxy note 2 I bought for 400 bucks back in the day and that was already expensive.

You can’t really compare an 8800gt to a 1070 to a 4080.

8800gt was just another era, the 1070 is the 70 series from a time where they had the ti and the titan, and the 4080 is the top gpu other than the 4090.

If you wanted to compare to the 10 series, a better match for the 4080 would be the 1080ti, which I own, and paid like 750 for back in 2017.

Sure, they’re on the money grabbing train now, and the 4080 should realistically be around 20% cheaper - around 800 bucks, to be fair.

Thing is though, if you just want gaming, a 4070 or 4060 is enough. They did gimp the VRAM though, which is not too great. If those cards came standard with 16gb of VRAM, they’d be all good.

YouTube premium to access the higher bitrates through Yt-dlp ;)

Yt-dlp is great for getting music from YouTube music.

You even get fairly good quality if you have premium (I do through Argentina, so it costs me cents per month)

For remote backup, always keep your data in multiple ‘importance levels’. There’s replaceable, irreplaceable and very important.

Replaceable is non-niche movies and all kinds of other things that are commonly available, data not ‘exclusive to you’. Irreplaceable is data that is (probably) only owned by you - photos, videos, source code, documents and so on. Very important are the few documents you really can’t afford to lose. Security keys, banking info and so on.

I don’t bother backing up replaceable data - I keep one local and one off site backup for the irreplaceable data and very important data (1tb hetzner storage box is enough for me), and I keep a few encrypted physical usb sticks and sd cards strewn around at my parents and at work for the irreplaceable data that periodically get updated.

Yup, that’s my yearly salary range. That’s normal in Switzerland for an electrical engineer with a masters degree.

Even if it’s an hour or two of your salary, do you not think that sync is worth that much to you a year? It takes LJ a lot of time to develop.

Oh, and keep in mind this is with what, 1700 hours of work or something a year. I have vacation, public holidays and so on.

Depends on your country, really.

Yes, in Switzerland you’re also told gross income - yet that’s not the ‘real gross income’. There’s lots of other stuff your employer pays for you when you get hired somewhere. For example, in Switzerland, we have mandatory retirement contributions (not like social security, we also have a pension fund seperately from this), that has to be matched by an employer, 1:1.

It really depends on your country, but say in Switzerland, you have to earn a good 30-40% more money when self employed compared to being employed at a company to have the same net amount of money available at the end of the day.

I wouldn’t call it financially sustainable. It pays for the servers, not for the labor.

No offense to beehaw, they’re doing great work.

I find the pricing totally fair. You’re doing a great job.

Keep in mind lots of the complaints of ‘too expensive’ come from one of two groups - either people from low income countries, or young people.

If you asked me to pay 15 bucks a year for sync when I was 16? Hell no, I’m not paying that much money for it!

Now, at 27, it’s what I earn in like 20 minutes at my job. I think those 20 minutes A year are more than worth what this app offers.
