This law is more than a decade in the making, the only reason it was on Apples roadmap is because of this law.

The EU doesn’t have to mandate a new connector when something new comes up, it just has to be an open standard, ANY open standard. This is miles better for everyone. And the EU doesn’t force the whole world to adapt their standard, it’s just not economical to produce different versions for different markets, but they are very much allowed to sell whatever to their non EU customers.

If you really want the lightning adapter back, you can ask one of the many people who soldered a usb-c connector in an iphone 12/13/14. If one person can do it, I’m pretty sure Apple can, too.

Usually these are empty when rolling into battle, they are used to get there in the first place. Tanks aren’t known for great fuel economy and the inside is already cramped, so for cross country travel it’s practical.

Das Problem an dem Vorschlag sind die Experten, die gibt’s nämlich jetzt schon, weil Politiker sich verständlicherweise nicht mit allem auskennen. Genau diese Experten sind aber nicht gewählt, nicht gelost, und wechseln auch nicht mit den gewählten Parteien, oder wechseln jedenfalls nicht vollständig, was, wiederum, verständlich ist weil es nur ne begrenzte Anzahl an Experten zu jedem Thema im Staatsdienst gibt/ überhaupt in Deutschland gibt. Und die sind zwar Experten, aber auch Menschen, und damit das Einfallstor für längerfristige Kontrolle durch Lobbyismus und Korruption. Aber auch geloste Bürger wären ja nicht weniger anfällig für Korruption und Lobbyismus, die wissen halt aber weniger wie Politik funktioniert und wie (internationale) Diplomatie geht, und müssten sich im Zweifelsfall mehr auf die Experten stützen… Oder Dinge tun von denen sie keine Ahnung haben.

Denitiv Hochwähli für “uns dein Glied zeigen”

Sehr schmaler Grat, vor allem wenn du schon von vornherein davon ausgehst dass da potentiell volksverhetzendes pfostiert wird. r/The_Donald war auch ein Satire subreddit, bis er von echten Fans von Donald Drumpf übernommen wurde. Ich halte es lieber so: Kein cm öffentlicher Raum für rechten Dreck.

Falscher Bart

He WANTS to help Russia… Don’t feed the troll.

Oh yeah it’s really crazy impressive, from a technology pov this is amazing.

I concede I’m neither a biologist nor a doctor, and if lazy sperm is not genetic, respectively if children born from this would lead a completely normal life: awesome. I just think knowingly passing on serious disabilities with a high chance to a new generation is something that should be avoided, specifically because you can’t ask the people affected, which is the children born. In the end, it’s just my ignorant weird feeling from what looks like Frankensteining together something that seems dead to create new life.

Für solche Qualitätsscheißepfosten bin ich hier

This is clearly a case of “just because we can doesn’t mean we should”. Sounds like a really bad idea to create life from sperm that doesn’t even move. Some people are just not meant to have kids and should come to terms with it instead of passing their own problems on to the next generation. I think it’s selfish. Also it’s not like there aren’t enough people already, adopt and give a good life to a healthy child that otherwise wouldn’t have a future.

Der Trick ist, nicht eine sehr dicke Jacke zu haben, sondern mehrere (nicht so dicke) Klamotten übereinander zu tragen. Der Vorteil ist, dass du die dünneren Klamotten auch im Herbst oder Frühling tragen kannst, und du kannst dich besser an das Wetter anpassen: eine dicke Jacke ist nicht so flexibel wie ein Unterhemd, ein (langaermeliges) T-Shirt, ein Pullover, ein Schal, und eine etwas dünnere Jacke. Handschuhe brauche ich selten, aber die kannst du dir bei Bedarf auch schnell für ein paar Euro kaufen, wenn dir kalt ist

I agree you need much less capacity because you’d usually just want to even out fluctuations, but I think the general gist of the comment is still true: you need just 2,5x the amount of water to produce the same amount of energy. The article says very little about the liquid, and very little about why this would enable them to build this capacity much quicker. A little more data would be nice.

Ok this is off topic but… What are y’all printing so much? I print a form once or twice a year and just print at the store across the road or the library for 10ct a page. The printer I had probably cost me 3$ a page because I used it so rarely.

Wow that’s an enormous payload, is that an rpg warhead? Is the plastic wrapped block on top extra battery? How big is the carrying capacity of these drones?

I can’t get over how hard the author deep throats Tim Apple. When reading I stopped to check if it was marked as advertisement. This is 100% pure advertisement, not journalism. If you like apple maps, fine, this article just feels way overboard.

Now I like dead vatniks in Ukraine just like the next guy, and I’m not sure this qualifies me to be the party pooper but the quirky tone when recounting war crimes does not sit well with me. Like when bush Jr misspoke and said “Iraq” instead of “Ukraine” and everyone laughed. Tens of thousands iraqis were killed on your orders (on false pretenses if that somehow makes it worse), yes you should be in prison, and no, you giving candy to Michelle Obama doesn’t kinda even it out.

Once you pay you just get an email “stop falling for ridiculous scams you dumb fuck, you’ve hereby increased your IQ to 81, pleasure doing business with you.”

Not in my opinion: if you read the article, it clearly says that Microsoft enforcing a level of quality for dated hardware leads to devs abolishing features that the hardware series S hardware won’t be able to support. They also can’t decide to not support the S unless they abandon the Xbox series X as well. It leads to lower quality games for everyone, not just series S owners.

I guess that’s debatable, depends on how you define what “it runs” means. PC gamers with dated hardware may be fine with playing on 1080p, while on the Xbox Microsoft might veto if it doesn’t run on 1440p and 30fps. Of course weaker hardware won’t run everything faster hardware can, you can’t just sprinkle infinite magic optimization dust on a game, there are simply limits what’s possible with weaker hardware, and once you’ve reached them you can’t just shout “enhance” like in CSI Miami.

I’m not trying to attack you, merely trying to understand why it wouldn’t be the same. You saying “are you saying the devs are stupid” isn’t a very good explanation.
