The website mentions a4, a3 and letter

And 707 + 707 = 1414

More accurately, there has never been a EU law that forced people to create cookie banners.

The EU law required websites to have the users’ consent to use personal data and tracking. The law never even mentioned the word “banner” but this is what the industry chose as a solution.

Furthermore consent is not needed for functional cookies. So all websites that enforce cookie banners upon users do really use tracking/data sharing or their partners (such as Google Analytics) do.

Python was created by a Dutch programmer.

Pascal was created by a Swiss programmer.

C# and Typescript were created by a Danish software architect, working for Microsoft.

Shame, guess my next ereader will be an open source one.

I have an older Kobo Glo and I always transfer books via usb. I have never connected it to the internet. Isn’t that possible anymore with newer Kobos?

Well, at least we agree there. I too have no idea why people like to suck corporate d.

If you hate a company, don’t buy stuff from them. Don’t go whining that they owe you money after you voluntarily spent hundreds of dollars on them, that’s a weak move.

Also if you don’t want tariffs, talk to the brain dead people around you that vote for people like Trump instead of blaming companies that aren’t even from the US for having to deal with tariffs.

Microsoft is a US company but Xbox is an imported product, being manufactured in China. Therefore it was subject to the tariffs.

Let me ask you a question.
Say you export bananas to the European Union. Then the people in the EU vote to prioritize Europe above every other country (MEGA) and thanks to them you suddenly have to pay import tariffs on every banana. You are forced to raise sales prices to compensate which reduces the number of sales and lowers your turnover. Now it turns out the tariffs were unlawful and you get money back from the EU. Would you feel that that money belongs to the people in the EU?

Well not to disagree with you, but this is how tariffs are supposed to work. They make foreign products more expensive so consumers pick a US product instead.

The price is the price and everyone is free not to buy a luxury product like a PlayStation. If you did buy it after all, that means you agreed to the price.

That’s kind of understandable as they were also the ones who paid the taxes directly while importing the products.

Nice article but what does VBS stand for? I always thought it was a Visual Basic Script.

Stone or concrete walls are normal in many countries.

You can indeed use a hammer drill to drill holes. You can buy them for as little as 30 dollars these days. And you can use an angle grinder to make cutouts for cables/tubes, and apply plaster afterwards.

Many houses in the colder regions already have cavity walls with insulation in between the walls regardless of the building method, so I don’t think this method is very wasteful in amount of material.

However, I agree that 3D printing houses had various downsides, such as the weird surface, inflexibility to modify/expand/repair after the initial build and potentiality worse insulation characteristics. I am more of a believer in prefabricated houses, where building houses becomes an industry instead of a project.

I checked and it looks like American cheese pizza is different from a Margherita. It is more uniformly looking, and it has a dominant cheese flavour without the freshness of the tomatoes and basil.

Well, good to have more choice there. But only two major Android updates? Fairphone policy is eight major updates.

Or just press the file and hit F2, or slow click on the file twice.

The reason it is such a recurring theme is that broccoli and sprouts were cultivated to taste good over time. In the recent past, they had a more bitter taste which lead to some generations disliking them.

This is about OEM prices, which are already much lower than consumer prices. A 10% increase is less than a 10 dollar difference.

I mean it can be an argument not to choose Windows, but it seems a bit far fetched to compare it with the price increases caused by the RAM shortages.

Well, I apologize if saying that the remark about you being inexperienced triggered you. Though I must say your first reaction, literally laughing out loud at my contribution is also not the pinnacle of empathy.

This topic is about memory usage so let’s stick to that. And blocking is up to you, as it affects your experience and not mine.

Why so emotional? We are talking about the memory usage of a weather app.

My point is about that 250 MB is a terrible amount of memory for such an application, and that such software isn’t updated for memory regardless of the platform. Yes, the Windows one is the most terrible of all.

The fact that you are a video editor is not relevant, nor is the fact that you are older, but it is interesting to read about your past nonetheless. L

It’s not an expectation, it’s a reference. It’s just a fact that software nowadays is not optimized for memory usage, regardless of the platform.

And yes, I’m pretty sure your weather app is fancy but come on man, a weather app is mostly a portal to show cloud data and is totally incomparable to a professional grade video editor, even one from 25 years ago.

The fact that you find it normal that displaying the weather takes up a quarter billion bytes of memory make me think you are relatively young and have never experienced anything other than the software of the past 10 years.
