Does she or he have a pet ? Just wondering.
When I bought my smart TV I've decided to not connect it to my WLAN and didn't plug in the Ethernet. So it isn't able to send information or install anything. Everything I watch on it is through my home theater PC. If I…
Wow - they are great. Thank you for that link! And I don't think it sounds any harsher than other hardcore punk in English.
Bandcamp is my preferred way of buying music these days. The only advantage of physival media is the record cover. But I am really pissed if I can't download the album or if I am just able to download a shitty MP3 of…
I am sorry if this is not really the point of your post, but I am reminded of watching the movie "Meine keine Familie". https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2917962/ As mich as i know there is no English version but it is a…
I've watches some videos on youtube of guys who try to salvage Tesla's. I am not sure if these are growing pains or if Tesla is just more interested in a model without independent mechanics. In these videos it seems…
I think this is pretty universal between languages that puns and double meanings are hard or impossible to translate.
Yes it does - but it's not as prevalent in humor as it is in the US. I'd say that most of these double meanings are hard to translate. At least if you compare German and English (the two languages I am "proficient" in).…
Yeah this joke didn't make any sense in German. The problem I see with this kind of jokes is that they can't be translated to German. e.g. another joke like this Did you hear about the country with the fastest growing…
I am incredible happy that Unicode is the de facto standard and that encoding problems are (mostly) a thing from the past. But sometimes it doesn't work out and you still hve these problems (Microsoft I am looking at…
Thank you - this makes perfect sense !
Can you please elaborate why gloves are bad ? I've never handled liquid nitrogen, but everytime I've seen someone handle it they wore gloves like these: https://www.2spi.com/category/cryo-gloves/
In this case you can install https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/6/applications-menu/ to get something similar in gnome (but I have to admit that I've never used unity)
I know about all these problems, but if you are used to it is so convenient. For me it became the most important feature of a window manager / desktop.
The last time I've really tried out KDE (many years ago, in the KDE4 era) it didn't work and I had to install an extension (that didn't quite work for me) to get that to work. But I've heard that they've changed it…
I have no experience with Mate, but the feature I miss the most in the traditional desktops is starting programs by hitting the super (Windows) key and typing the programs. I know that you can use Alt+F2 for this, but…
This is not my experience at all. I am using it on my first gneration i3 media center PC and it runs reasonably well. I don't use it for any heavy lifting -I am just starting browsers, running media players and watching…
I hardly use Spotify. I just use it if I don't want to buy a whole album or if I want to check out some new band. There is an ad every 3 or 4 songs - this seems pretty reasonable for me. I don't know of any other…
I don't have Spotify premium - so the quality is 128 kbps. The app works pretty fine, but is absolutely slow on my (old and quite underpowered) living room PC. But on the other hand it is just a media player... The…
For me it is pretty important. I am listening to full albums most of the time and don't like shuffle play at all. So I am looking over all artists / albums every time I want to listen to something different. A big plus…
does the web player still sound atrocious (free Spotify). Last time i've checked it came with memories of 96Kbps mp3s.
Thats's why I've stopped using foobar2000 and changed to Musicbee instead. Not as flexibel, but much easier for me to get a good looking music player on Windows with all the functions I like.
What kind of ski racing did you do ? I've never heard about Yamaha skis. But I am from Europe so in alpine skiing (FIS races) I just know the European brands (Rossignol, Fischer, Head, Atomic or even more obscure ones…
The Beyerdynamic DT 770 are working great for this. I am using the DT 770 Pro and they are working fine for me. If you want more noise attenuation you can by the DT 770 M. Link to the DT 770 Pro:…
I never understood why Excel doesn't work easily with Unicode CSV files. Well I know the workaround, but I still don't understand why they don't improve the handling of CSV files.
