- Comment on Whats the best website to get Electronic components for small projects in Europe/Germany? 3 weeks ago:
I would at least check mouser.com
Point it at Europe site and see how you go. I have had good luck with shipping from them to both Europe and Australia with decent time.
Had to batch up my orders to make best use of shipping cost.

This is how you get 40k Orks
- Comment on Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG? 2 months ago:
I prefer GoG and will generally purchase from there as no drm and you end up owning your game.
However their client is a bit shit and has been for a long time (GoG galaxy). You really only need it for updates though.
Steam excels for games with lots of mods/workshop. It just works.

The computer reboots 16 times when you plug it in.

Alas I have but one upvote to give.
- Comment on The four houses dads belong to. 10 months ago:
You need to know that most power tools are ultimately owned by only a few brands
Milwaukee and Ryobi for example are both owned by TTI but the Marketing is strong.
- Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone? 11 months ago:
I do. Every day. Decent headphones that block a lot of outside noise but don’t need a battery.
Constantly thankful that I don’t have to find a Bluetooth setup.
Contentious part is that I listen to high quality (generally lossless) ripped music. Bluetooth and some adapters do weird things with compression and you can really hear it.
- Comment on Total War Warhammer 3 devs will remove Steam users starting boycotts 1 year ago:
They pissed $100M away on a project inspired at a boozy directors lunch.
They then rushed out half assed dlc and a new game and put the price up for both.
Poor management calls that customers aren’t happy about. If the quality was there people would have been fine
- Comment on Nokia to cut as many as 14,000 jobs as profit drops by 69% 1 year ago:
I thought Nokia was dead after Microsoft gutted it.
- Comment on YouTube Enhancement Megathread: Tools and Extensions for All Devices 1 year ago:
Comes down to use case and what you prefer. On my Mac and iPhone I use vinegar all the time and it works great. Also means you can turn iphone screen off if you are just listening (save battery). Same YouTube account/subscriptions etc.
On my iPad when plugged into a tv I prefer invidious. I tend to watch long (6-8 hour streams) and It outputs at a native resolution to the tv and allows the screen to be off.

iOS also has Vinegar, an extension for Safari that is on the App Store. It will also work with Safari on M1/m2 Macs.
