- Comment on Hulu officially launching on Disney Plus across the globe — here's when it's coming 3 days ago:
Same. From pri8 to legit back to pir8.
Sonarr/radarr/prowlarr/jellyfin. Never been easier and more comfy to watch (close to) ANYTHING.
- Comment on More Online CO-OP Games should have option to pause 4 days ago:
As long as it’s communicated amongst the participants. Yes! If anyone could just pause it because they wanna go see a movie now or make a baby? NO!
Solution: everyone in a sessions needs to enable this. So a friends-group can actually take a break for a tinkle. Or that everyone has to enter the menu or such and then the game pauses.

Who cares? Are there still people left paying for that crap?

Here in Germany, we’d just say “well, it’s a BMW”, shrug and move along.

Yeah sorry, busy times. But thanks again mate, it felt glorious. Ahhhhh, the memories of it.

- Comment on How do you secure your home lab? Like, physically? From thieves? 1 week ago:
Cellar, steel-door with face-detection. Only if me (and/or wifey) are present the door opens shortly, video-surveillance, alarm-system. Same for gate and entrance. So you first would have to make your way TO the server-room :-) Might be an overkill (who wants to steal a server?!) but our backups and archives are stored there too, 100% fire-proof. And I value those. Money is replaceable.

But there is no adequate transportation. And we just have no space for more tracks and more trams and busses. Quite the contrary, we even canceled many routes. Public transport is a nightmare here and I wouldn’t use it if I’d be paid to do it. Well and bike-paths is the same problem. No space. Biking is bad here, the absolute opposite to our neighbors the dutch. But I wouldn’t wanna use a bike anyway. I wanna get to point B quickly.

RSS will sadly die out. Like all excellent stuff from before the enshittification-of-everything like IRC or good old web 1.0 which just had information and not 25 fat-ass JavaScript frameworks and libraries and 582 trackers and more cookies than one could chew…
But news via tiktok is the (current…) Epitome of stupidness of the already stupid stupidness of news via yet another framework per se.
I miss RSS.
- Comment on We Finally Know How Much the Xbox Handheld Will Cost 1 week ago:
I never ever owned a mobile game console, but why should I pay such premium and THEN having to pay games extra too? On the steam deck I would have my thousands of games already “for free”.
Steam already sucks, but even more closed systems? No thank you, I’d rather take a gaming laptop with me, if I wanted to game mobile.

Our (Germany) cities are pretty much “walkable”, yet the public transportation sucks big sweaty monkey balls. Wherever you wanna go, plan a lot of additional time. And then it’s either
A) pay first class and enjoy SOME comfort (while still have to get TO the train in a horrible way)
Or
B) use the “normal” way and stay the whole time pressed against stinky other humans that breathe in your neck.
One way is far too expensive and the other even more.
And There’s not much to do about (except prices). How many trams, busses and trains and their tracks can you build. Yet our population gets bigger and bigger.
So fuck public transportation and fuck walkable. I wanna get to places quickly and comfortably. And that is a car. But at least we only have one, as we don’t need to work.

Nah it stays on the list, China is awesome. But those tiny things are very good to know before going there 😁
- Comment on Public toilets in China demand ad views for loo roll 1 week ago:
Weird. But…why? Just “because” or theft? I’d bet that resulted in many silly situations with foreigners visiting 😁 And thanks for the info!
- Comment on Public toilets in China demand ad views for loo roll 1 week ago:
How? I mean, is there a paper-machine in every stall or do you buy a roll before you go? It sounds so absurd, but definitely something to know before visiting China, which still is on my bucket-list
- Comment on EU tax officials confront the most pressing legal question of our time: If you sell RuneScape gold to someone and they use it to buy a magic sword, do you still have to pay taxes? 2 weeks ago:
Ah right, just a sales-tax. I should’ve shut up 😁

Lol true too.
- Comment on Fooling a self-driving car with mirrors on traffic cones 2 weeks ago:
Very true… But at least we do test it at all. Anyone is allowed to have tons of kids and offer them no live or makes them fat or…
- Comment on Fooling a self-driving car with mirrors on traffic cones 2 weeks ago:
That’d need a new driving-license. With stricter checks. Not if applicants could memorize basic stuff but their emotional and intellectual maturity.

Oh okay, I have not factored in the idiots 😒

AFAIK they do? Different even in every state.

Speaks greatly for the quality of pcgamer. Guess the schools in the USA aren’t the very best.

While There’s a lot of room for improvement, I’d argue that many people would be fooled too. Depending on the mirror’s size, placement and angle.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 2 weeks ago:
Lol yes. That too. It was no fun to get in or out. On top of that enjoyment I’m 2m and ripped two jeans while getting out. Up to that point I never saw the appeal of SUVs 😁
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 2 weeks ago:
A convertible that I had have tuned to the max and foiled and re-seated to my liking in my favorite colors. It looked awesome in my head.
Then my pimp-mobile came. And I always was the center of attention. Which I, a very private person, highly disliked but gloriously failed to predict. Also it was horrible to drive for >30mins because you basically had your nuts on the ground and felt every Lil pebble on the road. Few months later I sold the car and bought one which basically made me invisible. One that only >70yrs olds drive here 😁

It’s the US, it’s always at some war somewhere. A looter-shooter-font seems perfectly fitting with even a hint of cynicism in itself.

- Comment on FLX1s is Launched 2 weeks ago:
Sure sure, but it also depends on the use-case. I use mine as an emergency-phone and notifications from my own apps. Occasionally a chat. Couldn’t care less for eye strain. Besides I grew up with crt-screens that fried my retinas 😁
