- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 8 months ago:
Holy hell. Sure, I bought my phone (a OnePlus 9) out of pocket but I pay about 20 USD for unlimited calls and SMS with 5Gb of data per month (I can also save unused data from each month to the other up to 15Gb). This is in Sweden for reference.
- Comment on It must confuse English learners to hear phrases like, "I'm home", instead of "I am at home." We don't say I'm school, or I'm post office. 8 months ago:
Yup, probably something that is the same in many languages though I can only speculate. It’s also the same in swedish any way.
- Comment on The New Audi A3 Is Amess With In-Car Subscriptions 10 months ago:
I totally agree. I’ve had my 2011 2.0 TDIe Audi A6 now for about 7 years. Never had major problems, though I specifically selected a diesel engine as the TFSI engines are crap. I also do pretty much all of.my own work so only pay for parts when something happens, which of course helps keep costs down.
If anyone is repairing or diagnosing your own vehicle in the WV group, make sure you get the VCDS software as it helps a ton! I got some cheap clone via eBay but it’s worked just fine for many years for me.
- Comment on Thousands of private camera footages from bedrooms hacked, sold online - VnExpress International 1 year ago:
I’m just about to setup TP-link cameras connected to Frigate (NVR software) with a Coral TPU for offline object detection. This means I can block access to internet for the cameras and use a VPN home if I want to watch them.
- Comment on The race to 5G is over — now it’s time to pay the bill 1 year ago:
I think 4G was a lot of speed for mobile devices but I must say the speeds on 5G are quite impressive. I can get about 50-70mbit/s with 4G on my phone while 5G does 300+. Do I ever need that? No.
I think it would have been better to invest in better coverage with 4G.
- Comment on What moment from a video game made you cry? 1 year ago:
That scene with Ciri, the music, the cinematography. I can’t keep it together no matter how many times I’ve seen it!
- Comment on We've come a long way baby 1 year ago:
Had a look at Louise Rossmans video yesterday about this and from what he showed he got it on all browsers.
- Comment on Heat pumps can't take the cold? Nordics debunk the myth 1 year ago:
I can only talk for myself but I have a Nibe pump here in Sweden with air source outside pump and water heating system to radiators on the inside. Even down to -30° with really shitty windows it was enough heat for me to be comfortable. Though it did indeed use the supplementary resistive heating a bit it was still able to give me about a 200% efficiency during that period. Give a typical winter (usually around -5-10C but, as said can go down to -20C or -30C for a week or so) it still runs an average of about 300-400% efficiency.
- Comment on Google is ready to fill its AI searches with ads 1 year ago:
Been using Kagi for about a month now and can confidently say that it’s the best search engine I’ve used in the last few years, including Google. Will for sure renew and continue to use it, highly recommend it!
- Comment on today I was reminded how bad YouTube ads are 1 year ago:
I just downloaded it from the play store but can’t figure out how to add YouTube to it. I see I can add sources but it wants me to scan a QR-code. Do you happen to know how to add YouTube or at least where to find these add-ons?
- Comment on Samsung is adding cloud gaming to your Galaxy phone, and it could arrive this week 1 year ago:
I believe you can by using ADB, makeuseof.com/uninstall-android-app-adb-system-ap…
I’ve not tried it myself but I’ve heard it should work. Though I think it’s awful that it’s even needed.
- Comment on Every Single Freaking Time 1 year ago:
I do that all the time. Opens up developer tools on firefox if you do it.
