I don't understand the 11 downvotes... Thank you for sharing, I've wondered about this game for a long time.

It's weird for a supersonic airplane to come back as a free-to-play game but ok

the swiss country is not a monolith. swiss politics caused this offer to be the result of a complicated consensus, not just "ludicrous conditions" emanating from a purely capitalist agent.

op's post was making the point that a lot of specs of the 2024 iphone 16 were already found on the 2021 sony xperia 1 III. I don't really care about either, and you could use a lot of different 2021 android phones as a comparison. I don't even think the comparison is entirely fair, but to ignore the fact that apple is clearly lagging behind android on certain aspects while hiding behind marketing is just misguided. Also, their phones are just overpriced because of price, and the innovation argument is getting old.

It's funny I litterally just finished an episode of Search Engine, the 'new' PJ Vogt podcast, where that's the actual question. It was the May 3rd episode, and they're interviewing a researcher on the topic, etc.

that's not really what hapoened, they boight those weapons knowing the conditions that were attached to it. The swiss political context is complex, it's not a matter of one side vs the other but of consensus between a lot of actors defending various interests. This is why in this case the swiss left has been trying for years to stop swiss exports of weapons of war, while the right and far-right pushed for it.

They bought them knowing of the conditions they came with, which is fair if they now don't want to buy new ones because of this same condition

i understand even less when people are saying that when someone does something out of passion it should allow us to consume it for free

I'm not going to replay an ontological debate that has been happening in the fields of sociology and psychology for decades with an engineer on the internet, who claims his own rationality a bit too hard. MBTI is considered pseudoscience because of its weakness against proper scientific validation processes, as well as its lack of support among both practitioners, theorists and researchers in the academic circles.

But to be clear, just because knowledge isn't scientific doesn't mean it doesn't have value, there are tons of example like that that we use every day. The main issue I have with MBTI is that it takes the appearance of scientific knowledge, which I find deceitful and thus suspicious.

 

Hello everyone!

As a photographer without a lot of money, my girlfriend used external drives to backup her files. A few years ago, she was able to upgrade to two 8tb WD My Book: one that she uses on a day to day basis, the other as an exact copy (thank's SuperDuper!).

But we now want to upgrade to a NAS. Since we will need a lots of storage (I was thinking four 8tb drives, so that we can have a few tb each with redundancy), I was wondering if I could use the drives inside the My Book in our NAS?

I could just open it, but I don't want to ruin her hd before we buy our NAS, and I can't find any reliable info about what's inside. I'm sure there are some reliability issue in using used hd in a NAS, I'm just curious.

 

Hello community!

I come to you for advice. Using an m1 macbook air since 2020, I installed popos on my old 2013 macbook pro and I was quite happy with it but... I bought a steamdeck two weeks ago and exploring its desktop mode made me reconsider some choices. Using distros based on different systems, with different commands, desktop environment, etc. gets a little confusing for someone like me, who doesn't use linux as my main machine. Do you have any advice for me? From what I understand, steamos is debian-based while popos is ubuntu-based: is that the biggest part of how a distribution works, ie commands, etc.? Good ui/ux is important for me so i should maybe use nitrux or deepin, that are debian-based, or is it a bad idea to choose a less common distro for a amateur like me?

Thanks in advance, I'm a bit lost.

Following the unfortunate death of Kevin Mitnick, I tried to search an episode where he personally appeared but couldn't find it. I was sure there was one, do you have a suggestion? Much appreciated
