A smart powerplug and/or a fingerbot would solve that problem I guess? But at that point it’s probably cheaper to buy a network connected picture frame.

You could use something like the Toshiba flash air?

Or the tld is .mobi

Systemd timer to poll upower when running on battery power, when battery is at 20%, use either system beep or set system volume and play a sound?

Not a scientist, but my first assumption would be that everything on earth, but also earth itself will double in size, knock ourself around our nice orbit around the sun and kill everyone either flashly or coldly.

Ignoring that problem, or applying the effect to the entire universe, probably not much would happen.

My mind directly went to Laserdisc before I realized you were talking about the generic category 😅.

cd/dvd/blueray doesn’t become bad that fast, properly stored they can easely live to 50+ years (except the writeable variant). they are physically etched which helps with longevity.

VHS or other types of magnetic storage is more of a chore, they often don’t survive the passing of time.

Also the reliable income makes them more credit worthy, allowing greater loans from banks and making it possible to grow more.

Tbh it only sucks for the customers

Kont is also not the most used, nicest way of saying it. “Billen” is a better match.

I do blame the “why is it so different from English” on “Het Nederlands taalgenootschap”, that was an organization that decided that a lot of Dutchified English would be changed to more Dutch terms. So is “Math” changed into “Wiskunde/Rekenen”.

As far as I know, no, rotary phones don’t use the nowadays default way of dial tones, so even numeric inputs in call menus don’t work

It used to work at least here in the Netherlands, when you send a sms to a landline, the phone company has a tts service that reads texts like: “incoming text from zero six one… (etc) with the following text: ok boomer” and repeating that twice.

Used to be a really mechanical voice, but I’ve not had a landline in at least ten years.

You can still receive texts on a rotorary right, then it’s read aloud by some computer voice

Like a lot of people already mentioned, it’s because of hardware driver’s mostly. But let’s not forget Microsoft has this figured out mostly already, since pretty much all drivers that have a version for Vista 64bit (2006) works on Windows 11.

Android is catching up a bit though, they split the update process and you now receive security updates almost directly from google since Android 10.

I prefer for it to be just a warning so I can debug without trouble, the build system will just prevent me from completing the pull request with it (and any other warning).

I use Trilium, it just scratched the need I had which obsidian and logseq couldn’t somehow.

Europe was named after the Greek Phoenician princess Europa, same as the planet was. Also a lot of languages call the continent Europa. You could almost consider it to be the more accurate name.
