Yes, I did. But I couldn’t get my Homeassistant to work routing through it, so I switched back to Proxy Manager…

I finally switched my gaming rig two weeks ago. Been great so far, except VR and I’ll admit, the Xbox Game Pass missing…I wish gog or someone would come up with something like it, because there have been a lot of games I started and didn’t finish because they just haven’t been my cup of tea…
Now if Autodesk would get their shit together as well, things could be happening at work as well.

Google is just the complete opposite and empowers global surveillance.
I disagree with that. Yes, they enable it, but you can turn (nearly) everything off in the settings and with a few ground rules things are quite good.
Take TikTok, Meta or something like that…you can’t turn off most of the data harvesting and profiling.
- Comment on Microsoft now permits uninstalling Edge, Bing, and OneDrive to adhere to the EU's Digital Markets Act. 3 months ago:
It is. And I personally commend Google for this - they are pretty much the last manufacturer to truly give your the freedom, without crippling the device to hell and back. Sony and Samsung cripple the cameras when you unlock the boot loaded, nearly all Chinese manufacturers don’t even give you the choice, Xiaomi has a “wait list”.
Say what you want about Google - they still aren’t as terrible as others.

Smaller corporations have it easier, IF they took IT Security serious. For the simple fact, that there are just a lot less entry points and way less whack amole playing.
And Microsoft never took security as serious as they should have.
- Comment on Scientists find a simple way to destroy 'forever chemicals' — by beheading them 3 months ago:
Well, since working in the industry, i can say with a very high confidence: There will be substitutes, but not for everything - at least at this point in time. There may soon very well be a breakthrough in material science, but at this point there is no alternative in some use cases (like gaskets, that have to sustain extreme temperatures and pressures…).
But i absolutely do agree with you.
- Comment on Scientists find a simple way to destroy 'forever chemicals' — by beheading them 3 months ago:
I’ve been wondering for quite some time why everything is going to shit. Now I think I get the picture. Thanks for the enlightenment.
And yes, I fucking expect people to think about their decisions and take responsibility serious - even if they don’t have the means to get caviar or Champagne all the time. But hey, I’ll probably be labeled as boomer in the next few years, so whatever floats your boat!
Judging by all these downvotes, I guess that ship has sailed a long time and maybe I shouldn’t care so much 🤔
- Comment on Scientists find a simple way to destroy 'forever chemicals' — by beheading them 3 months ago:
Oh i absolutely agree with you. Especially in cosmetics and other “day to day” products that are disposable.
But that’s also exactly the argument - make companies and customers dispose of these products correctly, because banning PFAS outright will have devastating consequences. (Like 3M just shifting production to China from Europe. Europe had the highest safety and production standards for PTFE - now they are going to be produced in china with absolutely no standards )
- Comment on Scientists find a simple way to destroy 'forever chemicals' — by beheading them 3 months ago:
Maybe in the U.S., but not in Europe. We got the Nutri-Score, we got the animal wellfare labeling and we have open source databanks where you scan the barcode and get all the information about a product so you can actually make a decision.
- Comment on Scientists find a simple way to destroy 'forever chemicals' — by beheading them 3 months ago:
And you are arguing that customers become mindless drones that don’t need to think about any consequences when they consume. Which is exactly why we have fucked up the climate.
- Comment on Scientists find a simple way to destroy 'forever chemicals' — by beheading them 3 months ago:
Is there really no alternative in shampoo & disposable coffee cups?
There is - but i personally think it’s up to customers to not just grab what’s on the shelf and do at least some basic research, because PFAS generally have to be marked on the bottle. Disposable coffee cups are just stupid all together.
This could have been done years ago but if industry can’t self regulate then bans it is.
I get the sentiment, but why not regulate stuff, before just banning it? And while we’re at it, how about educating the customer?
- Comment on Scientists find a simple way to destroy 'forever chemicals' — by beheading them 3 months ago:
You do realize, many of those “forever chemicals” have no alternative? PFOA for example is essential for modern production, because there is no other material known to withstand the temperatures and pressures needed in the production processes? So the alternative is either not to use them at all, with ALL the consequences - or we have use a proper way to dispose them.
Purification Plants are the same argument.

- Comment on Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating 4 months ago:
As a customer of both Telekom and O2, i highly disagree…the Telekom net most of the times is shittier than the O2 one - even though the O2 one sometimes looses connection all together, in those cases the Telekom connection doesn’t have Internet at all either.
- Comment on Cable can't compete with 5G home internet, so it's cheating 4 months ago:
It has absolutely nothing to do with the lines, but the headends. Coax is very capable of transmitting lots of Data fast. Due to the tree topology of cable however, the headends have to be extremely fast. If everyone on the tree of 100 has 1000 Mbit, that headend needs to have 100 Gbit of capacity. Most of those headends however cap out at 10 Gbit and sometimes service up to 300-500 ports. German cable providers cheaped out and didn’t upgrade their infrastructure for quite a while. The coax line technology didn’t change in the last 30 years.

What kind of ridiculous argument is that? You can pinch your dick in a zipper - are zippers unsafe?
- Comment on Google is making a map of methane leaks for the whole world to see 4 months ago:
Yep…makes Synthetic fuels an even more no-brainer for me personally. Granted, it doesn’t for those companies and lobbyists because it’s going to be a lot more expensive initially, but if there’s really a will to do something against climate change, the first thing to do should be taxing those companies doing this shit willfully and knowingly to hell and back. A few wind turbines with some electrolysis machines suddenly become a lot cheaper.
And it’s a Win-Win for everyone - lots of people keep their jobs, execs keep getting money and I can keep driving ICE - and no extra co2, methan or other gasses are being released. And with these Satellites, there’s actually a way to keep companies from being shit.
But that may very well be a bit too utopian…
- Comment on Google is making a map of methane leaks for the whole world to see 4 months ago:
Siberia isn’t the permafrost melting - those emissions correlate to known Oil and Gas Wells, that mostly have been just left open, so that they can be used easily again. Melting permafrost is still releasing relatively little.

The difference is, ABS was only mandatory after it was fully developed and actually safe. Same goes for the airbag. This is horseshit, same goes for the AI Rules, EU Cloud initiative, unified power grid and so on.

One of the most prevalent examples that affect me - it’s a horrible system and most car makers are not able to do it properly, because the camera systems are not cheap enough to be good enough. Mercedes, BMW and so on do it relatively decent, but they’ve gotten so expensive, even the base models are out of my reach now.
This could go on for a while, but to make matters short: The basic idea is cool, but mandating it like they have makes it a nuisance and will make most people turn it off. All of the people I know that have a car that has that system turn it off immediately starting.
- Comment on Backdoors that let cops decrypt messages violate human rights, EU court says 4 months ago:
Don’t. They already get way to much taxes and while these are the shining examples of what the EU should be and are beacon of hope…there are other utterly ridiculous laws and stupid regulations we have to deal with. Don’t get me wrong, I’m proud to be European and so on, but it’s not the bright haven some people make it to be…

No idea, but HVO100 is around 1,82 Euros per liter where I fuel up and it’s considered an “E-Fuel”.
Porsche projects around 2 Euros per liter in 2025. By 2025 the fossile fuel prices are expected to be above that due to the co2 taxes. However, that’s not the “final” state of the plant, which is expected to be done by 2028 for 500 Million Liters a year. 2025 is 55 Million liters a year…

Maybe easier, but not cheaper. Transporting hydrogen around is already being done as well - you don’t have to develop the wheel again.

No, it doesn’t dribble on the floored, but to keep the battery conditioned takes a lot of energy. There are countless post around all sorts of forums where the battery was empty after 2 weeks, because cooking the battery in the summer heat took a lot of energy. And you can’t leave an EV plugged in at the Airport.
Transporting hydrogen is cheaper than having to rebuild a whole power grid.
