I’ve literally never prefixed a country code to a postal code and I’ve successfully sent over 300 letters and packages from sales on CardMarket and over 200 packages from sales on Ebay (all to EU). The country was always the last line in the address. I’ve also never done this for my own address, but I’ve seen it done yes. Particularly when an online merchant did it for me. Its a far cry from saying we do this in Europe. Its an exception rather than a rule.

Falls apart when you accept worldwide addresses.
75001 - Am I in Texas or France?
20001 - Am I in Washington or Algeria or Spain?
10115 - Am I in New York or Germany or Dominican Republic?
I guess you could compliment that with IP geolocation and now you suddenly have an address entry form with dependencies up the wazoo and can probably push it on its own repo. Thousands of lines of code, servers processing, ice glaciers melting just so I don’t have to type in that I am from Fucking, Austria.

We just need biologically accelerated decryption mechanisms in our brain so we can read encrypted data directly. Keys are safely stored in a new organ which gets implemented at birth.

…sure…

I have a very broad taste, so I play it all… except sports games. Usually stop before the 200h mark for all games. I think that’s the division I see the most: gamers who play it all and sports gamers. There’s niche subdivisions like people who stick to one genre or old games only but I can relate with them because… I play it all.

Very soft

I absolutely want politics in gaming. Without it, we’d be stuck in the arcade era. Sure, sometimes I also like to zone out on puzzle games which are largely devout of it. Imagine The Witcher 1 without politics, is there even a game there?

This is the way.
I come into the office early in the morning when its still night and use the dark theme. When the sun comes out, I switch to light. Monitor brightness should blend into the surrounding light. Eye strain otherwise.

Reminds me of the time when we wrote an internal tool with strict SOLID principles. As new programmers came on, they had no idea what was going on cause no one in college told them about design patterns. Most of the OG’s quit soon after and the new guys remained.

Well, it depends.
This specific application here is for usenet, so it is of no use to those who torrent.

If you do casual coughs torrenting and search for your stuff once in a while and download on your main machine, then no. Theres no need for anything else.

If you self host a media server, maybe a torrent client on the same machine, an arr stack can help out with it to the point that you will no longer visit a torrent site again. Once set up, instead of searching directly on a specific site, you would visit a self hosted page for say, movies, and search there. The search would be handled by another self hosted app which would search from a list of torrent sites you configured.

Its not that I don’t agree with you but I figure there has to be a business case for it if Toyota is willing to keep investing in it for 25 years. Surely, at this point, they would have thrown in the towel but they keep at it. And to make maters more interesting, they don’t seem to give a shit about full electric either. It feels like they know something we don’t.

You do have to poses some strong repression skills to look at trumps platform and think “this is good for the common American”. CJ, you voted for this. You willfully ignored what he was saying and drank the orange monster.

It is, at its core, an exploration and infrastructure building game. A lot of the gameplay is “take X to Y” and the infrastructure you build helps you do it and determines how hard your task is gonna be. Combat is not plentiful, but it is there as an extra obstacle to overcome. If you dont find this core mechanic engaging enough, it probably isnt a game you would enjoy.

polarity issues

Not an issue, you can swap line and neutral freely. It becomes an issue if you want to use three phases and a three phase motor (because the order of phases is important) but that is covered by other sockets. Plain old Schuko is one phase, LNG.
EDIT: thought about it some more, yeah, devices with switches on L may be pose a shock risk in some cases if you swap.

No performance impacts on regular browsing? I never dared to run a DNS on a wifi only device. Or are you using some kind of Ethernet over USB thing?

I once downloaded a 650MB movie in less than 10 minutes. I dont know how that was possible at the time as I had a sub 1 mbit line. I just know I went to the bathroom and came back to a downloaded movie. Always figured it was a bug of some kind on the modem as apparently the cable modem was doing the rate limiting.

Did they really? Microsoft championed Teams and its pretty accepted in corporate environments today, especially if they are already on Microsoft.
Afaik, Skype for Business was merged into Teams. Skype for non-business consumers has been virtually dead for longer. The way I see it, Microsoft let go of the brand, the value of which is questionable in this decade. When they bought it, I remember the rumors saying it was because of its voice codec, which probably got used in everything from xbox live to teams in the end.

Good tip. I always forget I can do this and block specific elements if I want.

Ads, I can block. The shitty part of the site are the unrelated things getting shoved in the middle of the article.

The PS5’s price is higher than it was 4.5 years ago at launch, a device with identical function. While we should be seeing a lite version at 30% the price, we see a pro version at 50% more. Crazy.
