Im certain cases, not having a car makes sense. Especially when you do not carry much stuff and in cities.
For instance, driving in Jerusalem is so bad that it could be a replacement for a prison. In addition, distances in cities aren’t that large and you usually do not carry a lot of things, so public transport/cycling/walking is more advantageous.
On the other hand, when you have to get to some remote places, such as skiing resorts, camps, etc. cars are just great
Some sort of cloud backup is always good in terms of physical damage to your hw.
I really like to use open source and most of the software on my computer is open source, but it’s not always possible
Thanks, official lemmy interface is clunked. this looks better tbh
The only thing from office that has no competition is Excel. If you type your documents in Word and not in sth like Latex, you are just wasting your time. Same for presentations - they can be done in Latex/Slidev which are both better than Microsoft alternative. No mention needed about Access.
I get that people use it even though it’s mostly a piece of garbage - they are simply get used to having Word.
Basically when there are many instances, a loss of one is not a big issue
same here
Google can fuck off with its WEI. That’s all I can say.
Nobody asked for drm for web.
wtf has happened to mclaren and aston martin
Yes, ltsc should be reinstalled every once in a while but imho 2-3 years is fine.
Windows 11 may have improved hdr but at the same time comes with far more ads, with far more bundled bloatware etc. So it’s up to you to judge.
Last time I booted into windows which was in 2021-ish, I literally removed 5 Gb o junk from that OS.
Stay on 10 for as long as possible if you have to use windows. Ideally go for LTSC and even more ideally, switch to sth else
Yep, you can get most via the network and maybe sth in logs. Linux makes this quite easy tho
Might have been one of the best decisions of your life!
Chris titus has a nice tool which removes as much telemetry as possible. You can get rid of a considerable piece of telemetry in group policy editor, services and regedit.
Despite that, windows will never be as private as macos and macos will never be as private as linux.
Valid, this should be tackled. Does the battery heating help?
If this is a cemetery, this is a place where I want my grave
Guys, it’s fine that you like them, feel free to use them.
On the other hand, you cannot argue against the facts that these cars explode from time to time, the infrastructure for them is nowhere near as good as for regular cars and that charging and range are worse. So no, they are far from ready.
To me it seems like electric cars are meant to be a replacement for gasoline cars, yet they are worse almost at everything (today). They are basically a solution to a non-existent problem.
Some argue they are more ecological, yet this is debatable. I don’t know but explosions don’t seem too ecological to me and the fact you can throw out a huge battery cell approximately every 8 years does not seem ecological either. Especially when we add the cost of the battery replacement, it does not make sense to replace it. Economically, it’s a better decision to just buy a new car, which again creates additional waste… EDIT: If you need to push an alternative fuel through, I see more potential in hydrogen. The infrastructure is even worse though :/
Yet I bet they will still collect many, many gigabytes
Switching to Linux was a great decision. Windows has gone downhill since 2009
