- Comment on World’s First Hydrogen-Powered Superyacht Embodies Eco-Conscious Luxury 5 months ago:
Germany has a lot of renewable sources and it's full on building much more. You're confusing it with their dumb policy of closing nuclear power plants. They are also considering hydrogen as storage to replace coal and gas power plants during winter. Note winter, they have not much problems during summer where electricity is abundant and often has a negative price.
What does Norway being oil exporter have anything to do with this topic?
- Comment on World’s First Hydrogen-Powered Superyacht Embodies Eco-Conscious Luxury 5 months ago:
At least it doesn't pollute when it burns. Hydrogen is also a decent storage capacity when you have plenty of renewable energy to store. Which is happening, just look at Norway or Germany.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 5 months ago:
Probably it wasn't noticeable. Imagine this scenario: somebody would pay a monthly fee, would download "entire" Spotify and then forever listen to it in offline mode. And since it's offline, artists won't get payed as well.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 5 months ago:
The thing is, you're buying from their record labels, not directly from artists. And then it depends on their contract how much they actually get. But they are still getting more from it, I guess.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 5 months ago:
ve ran into the same issue I’ve had with Spotify for a while - even if I download a playlist for offline usage, it’ll still try to connect to the internet, so if I was somewhere with poor reception, it’d get stuck on a spinning circle for a minute before giving up and showing me the songs I’ve wanted to play.
That's by design and all streaming apps would do it like that to enforce abuse.

One can hope, right. I just stumbled across an article in local magazine about this same issue. Have to read it and report back.

I really do hope that this crap is handled better in EU. At least theoretically it should be.

AFAIK with Apple it is even part of the SoC, not even soldered.
- Comment on That time when Microsoft bought and killed Nokia phone unit 6 months ago:
Not to mention that MS completely changed their development tools and libraries more than once if I remember properly.

Kudos for paying Spotify (as I do). I disagree on "if they give me shit service" part. If that happens, you have an option to either switch service or don't use any of them. IMO pirating is not an option. Also when pirating though P2P, you also distribute the content.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
If you don't want to pay, then don't use it. Regardless of everything, music producers still need to live and pirating is a shit move to help them.
- Comment on Qualcomm benchmarking controversy: What's happening? 6 months ago:
I don't think Qualcomm can't outperform Apple at CPU game out of the blue. They were always trailing behind and Apple has now three generations of M CPUs behind. It'd be nice, though.

This is all because they failed to award Elmo with those billions. Quick, there is still time to save the company. /s

Let's declare any successful foreign country as enemy and either ban, or better, steal their products. True market.

- Comment on Samsung does an Apple with its first Snapdragon X Elite laptop, suggesting the new Arm-based Windows machines aren't going to be a cheap alternative to x86 8 months ago:
To surprise of no-one :)
- Comment on Samsung does an Apple with its first Snapdragon X Elite laptop, suggesting the new Arm-based Windows machines aren't going to be a cheap alternative to x86 8 months ago:
If it isn't, then there is almost no point in going ARM for Windows. Apple demonstrated that it can be quite lower or better perf at same power consumption.
- Comment on Samsung does an Apple with its first Snapdragon X Elite laptop, suggesting the new Arm-based Windows machines aren't going to be a cheap alternative to x86 8 months ago:
Yep, yep. Also their ARM chips might quickly become more powerful than x64 ones as is the case with Mx ones. At least when it comes to laptops. The article is really weird by focusing on gaming experience, is this really a big market for laptops?
- Comment on Samsung does an Apple with its first Snapdragon X Elite laptop, suggesting the new Arm-based Windows machines aren't going to be a cheap alternative to x86 8 months ago:
Exynos are subpar to Qualcomm arm chips, or at least they were not so far ago.

TBH this is always the case when you interact with any social network or any website in general. Data can be always collected. GDPR helps somehow.

Windows Vista didn't make many PCs obsolete, though.

I might even consider it out they weren't selling me music as well and if there was a family option (in my country). And no, I wouldn't consider VPN as I won't do extra work to be able to pay google.
- Comment on Your washing machine could be sending 3.7 GB of data a day — LG washing machine owner disconnected his device from Wi-Fi after noticing excessive outgoing daily data traffic 9 months ago:
Reporting when it finishes, allowing remote start, collecting statistics, uploading improved firmware to name few. None of these are essentials though.
- Comment on Your washing machine could be sending 3.7 GB of data a day — LG washing machine owner disconnected his device from Wi-Fi after noticing excessive outgoing daily data traffic 9 months ago:
Yep, one for private use, one for this kind of machines and one for guests. But still, in theory it could be sending sensitive data regardless of network setup.

Obviously it's not true hehe I don't get it. The holy grail is to destroy just cancerous cells, it's easy to destroy all. 🤷♂️

The test was done on mice where half of them ended cancer free and I assume survived.
