Well, there was the DIN standard for radios back in the day….

Exactly. Blame the publisher, not the developer studio here. That’s the case for at least 99% of these kinds of fuckups.

I’m using Philips hue wall switch modules. They’re not cheap, but they allow me to use the switch as a normal switch and even program them to turn on different scenes depending on how I use them. It’s so much nicer to have than the taped down light switch I had at first.

I think the whole step to integrate with the fediverse would have taken too much time and too many resources. Seems like a massive rewrite of the codebase to me, if it wasn’t taken into account from the very start.

I never really got this argument, to be honest. I put mine on the charger when I take a shower in the morning. If I did a long workout that day, shortly before bed, too. Other than that, I wear mine day and night. It really doesn’t feel like a big deal to me. I wouldn’t wear a mechanical (or quartz) watch in the shower either.

Signify is just the “new” name of what once was Philips Lighting. Not a new company or anything.

That’s a welcome surprise, actually. Perhaps I should be less cynical.

Do any recent games have their full data on the disc anymore? I figured they had become too big, and that the disc merely serves as a licence to download it online anyway.

I saw someone mention moonlight and sunshine, perhaps those work.

Crikey, that’s horrible.

Seems unlikely to be honest. But in the same vain, let’s hope the firefighting planes don’t crash and cause a kerosene fire.

It’s easy for techies like us, yeah. If we don’t want to go too advanced with the automation stuff. I wouldn’t even dare ask my mum to set up her own stuff, even if she begged me for it. It’s techie-friendly. Not user-friendly (yet).

It used to be quite a big deal, back in the day. The other day I read a really old thread on some local forum here in NL, and it said that you couldn’t sign up with an “anonymous” email address, such as hotmail or gmail. Only provider-issued email addresses were accepted there so “they had an idea who they were dealing with”. Times really did change a lot.

She’s a techie just like a lot of folks. Likes to indulge in 3D printing, hardware modding, things like that. Just happens to also be a woman who likes to dress provocatively. Each to their own, of course. Been a while since I watched anything of hers, but what stuck with me is her emphasis on the fact that women can be engineers just as well as men can. She’s decently well-known in the modding community, I’d say.

Exactly. They’re great bullshitting machines, that’s it.

It’s pretty good. Using it locally as well as internationally (to France and back). Haven’t faced any issues, really. The only thing that is, to me at least, pants on the head levels of stupid, is not having cycling directions in The Netherlands of all places. Come on!!

What the fuck.

Synthetic fibres are cool stuff, no doubt, but they also contribute to our whole microplastics problem, which isn’t that cool, to be honest.

God damnit.

Got a source for that? The approach google and Apple implemented was completely anonymous, even with rolling identifiers.
