That cannot be stressed enough: no stock Android is a pain (at least if coming from there)

E.g. more or less bound to their camera app, my automatic sync with Google photos isn't working because they want me to use _their_ gallery. Only when I start Google's photo app does a sync start. Repeating explicitly: that's preventing that pictures are automatically backuped to the cloud! -- too me, that's preventing the main selling point of paying a lot of money for a phone with a decent camera And: why would I switch every service to the crappy Samsung equivalent?

Google is becoming incompetent. It's not only their phones.

Currently they fail to fix their speech services for over a month. Doesn't update the language over mobile networks and drowns batteries while waiting/trying -- no matter the settings, restarts, Cache cleans. While other apps on those phones update properly over the same network. Dropped from a 4* rating to 1.5 (s. Play Store)

Major changes were "changed name", "new icon", which were a clear warning sign to me -- now they can add "botched network handling"

+ they reinstall apps with major updates

+ the shitshow called Galaxy Store that you mandatory have to visit if you care about security updates always greets me with a dialog that suggests to install some game _and_ I have to opt-out for _every_ game. I don't know any real world example were you can be forced to watch an ad before something broken gets fixed. That only works in the (virt.) environment of a quasi monopoly.

Autos rolling?!? That ugliness is intentional?

That website doesn't work as a business card...

Thanks, I have another "Sedgewick" and wasn't aware of the repo (not in immediate need of it, but nice anyway!)

Yeah, sadly. But good you say it explicitly and it a fair spin(?) -- I just wanted to point out the IMO damage that license does, not blame the authors/BBC.

In Germany it's the same with the "Mediathek" nonsense. Shows paid with public money can only shown for a ridiculously short time -- no freely accessible archive.

Well intentioned but close to negligible (globally).

China has contracts with African countries to build coal powerplants, despite transforming their own energy sector.

On a globally scale the billions could be spend with higher impact -- even right now.

Which costs you more than $100k monthly to operate with the same level of manageability and reliability.

We don't use AWS, because our use cases don't require that level of reliability and we simply cannot afford it, but if I needed a company to depend on IT that generates enough revenue... I probably wouldn't argue about the AWS bill. So long, prepaid at hetzner + in-house works good enough, but I know what I cannot offer with the click of a button to my user!

What the ELO ratings of established chess players were already suggesting. Sharp decline seldomly happened before 65. Nice to see that rigorously researched.

* I wrote about CO2.

* The boiler's flame is visible (through a slit).

* The system doesn't have a separate supply stream -- it takes oxygen from the flat.

An CO sensor seems obligatory to me: after the chemney sweeper (obligatory in Germany) measured 10,000ppm CO in the exhaust stream (defect, not normal operation), I didn't want to depend on a 25y+ boiler's electronics alone.

CO kills relatively fast. Even if rare, I don't want to die caused by a rare event that could have been avoided by spending ~50€ (here)

0 degree what?

Fahrenheit, Celsius, horizontal angle?

I like keepassxc.

For everybody trying it: avoid the password sharing feature. It's currently hopelessly broken. The last time I had a look it was a known issue that needs major rework. IMO that can be worked around be keeping a dedicated database for shared scenarios -- albeit not practically fine grained for every secret. (I don't care, yet)
