⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can't win the lottery⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
The idea that it could happen is false hope though, because you’re buying into the idea that the chance is worth $5. The chance is so small it might as well be zero. So you’re way over spending.

If you were to put $5 in S&P 500 weekly it far more likely that you’ll have a profit of a few thousand on top of the money that you did not spend on lottery tickets (because you still own the stock). That’s not really as radically marxist as my previous comment might make me seem, but for your personal wallet it’s way better.

Ah, so not only false hope but also crushing class consciousness.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
They probably shouldn’t have named it London in hindsight. But back then of course they probably didn’t know they were going to revisit Liberty City/Vice City/San Andreas a couple of times.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
There is plenty of things over the top British stereotypes they could do that the would would get. Royalty, Jacob Rees-Mogg/Boris Johnson style politicians, Brexit craziness, chavs, Geordie Shore, empire nostalgia.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
GTA is satire about American society. Because of Hollywood, TV, and English being the lingua franca of the world, this way they can reach a far bigger audience. You couldn’t do exactly the same game set in Helsinki because the world knows far less about Finnish stereotypes. Ninja Edit: Random thought about satirical games set in Finland My Summer Car is kind of that game.

But they have explored London before. I think the UK would probably the best setting.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grand Theft Auto VI' trailer drops with 2025 release date⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Alright. I thought I’d missed a controversy.

I know some people complain about GTA Online, but with anything as surplus to human needs as video games I’d say just vote with your Dollar.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Battery Crushes Tesla's Tech, Unveils A Solid-State Marvel With 300% Higher Energy Density, 15-minute Ultra-Fast Charge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I’m privileged in that I live perhaps the country with the densest coverage of EV infrastructure anywhere (except for maybe a microstate or two), but in the 7 months of driving an EV I’ve not once experienced range anxiety.

You can’t do huge roadtrips without a recharge every 250-350km in this relatively more affordable model, but for daily driving it’s like waking up with a full tank every day. If I visit friends 200km away, I just park at a destination charger and walk the last 200 meters.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Job losses likely at VW as the people’s car brand becomes uncompetitive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
You kind of get used to it. It’s not as bad as it sounds. At the same time they should absolutely get back to regular buttons. The only thing that should be touch sensitive in a car should be the infotainment screen when it’s displaying Android Auto or CarPlay.

Even then I think I’d like it to be a backup.

I went to work in IT over half a decade ago without relevant credentials. Google taught me everything.

If only I could log in to the damn system.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nothing pulls its iMessage app from the Play Store following privacy disaster⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
As a three time OnePlus customer I don’t blame them. They were a decent deal each time I opted for them, but I feel no loyalty to them or any other brand I’ve had in-between OnePlus phones.

Like with any corporation, nobody at the company cares about your loyalty as an individual.

And yet you post this in plain text. Interesting.

I heard someone someone knew installed Linux on their grandparents laptop. That’s one way to volunteer your time.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Toyota trials hydrogen-powered vehicle on public roads in Australia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I was specifically talking about cars that are fun to drive. The one thing I dislike about my BEV is that it’s so heavy.

Personally I don’t think hydrogen is the way for most personal vehicle applications. Batteries are improving a lot and becoming quite a bit cheaper too. Also many large car makers have gone the EV route and they are king makers. But who cares, the better technology will probably win out.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Toyota trials hydrogen-powered vehicle on public roads in Australia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
BEVs are a lot of fun to drive. Car people are nostalgic for burning fuels and roaring engines, but future generations will be far less so. We just need far lighter batteries.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar energy storage breakthrough could make European households self-sufficient⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
This will hopefully be something like district heating, so a heat pump that distributes hot water. I don’t think hydrogen in on the table.

But in reality it’ll probably be a heat pump per home.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar energy storage breakthrough could make European households self-sufficient⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I don’t want my house to be self-sufficient. I want my street and neighborhood to be self-sufficient. I already use my neighbors excess solar for reasonable prices.

My city wants to be off natural gas in 2030 and my neighborhood is in the pilot to transition first. I don’t necessarily want a huge heat pump attached to my house, and I don’t want a huge energy storage solution in my small garden.

There is city land around our housing block with plenty of room for a solution that can serve the whole street. I hope the city is going to propose something like that for us.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Raspberry Pi 5: available now!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
If they’d add something to enable some serious storage options that allow me to turn it into a decent NAS, they’d have my attention. That’s where the thin clients aren’t fantastic either.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Raspberry Pi 5: available now!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
At these prices, what’s the point of a single board? A much more performant thin client is probably better for the more intensive tasks. And for simple stuff there is the Zero 2 W.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Toyota to adopt Tesla charger for North American EV models⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
They’ve announced a lot of EVs are in the works but they’ll also keep offering hybrids and FCEVs. They kind of have to our they’ll lose the European market.

Some Skodas are better looking than their VW brothers. Especially the crossovers.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I downgraded to an iPhone 11 Pro Max – and I'm not missing much⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I bought the original OnePlus Nord mid 2020 for €336 and I have no plans of replacing it. A €600-700 foldable might convince me, but other than that this phone is way better than what I need.

The only thing I’d do differently is buying a phone from a company that isn’t Chinese.

And are under the impression that what’s going on in the US is going on worldwide. Apple is doing fine worldwide, but isn’t nearly as dominant as in the US.
