That as well

Just saying, this is not the fault of a single engineer but of a whole company that didn’t think “try all common cable types” should be a required testing step before a network switch goes into mass production.

How did that not get caught in the prototype stage? Like, did nobody ever test that thing with that type of RJ45 plug?

Wait, what were the arguments for electrons not existing? And by whom? It’s generally accepted that electrons exists and neither of their fields would work if they didn’t. You’d have to go really deep down into “well actually, everything is a wave” terretory to even get that idea and even then it doesn’t make sense.

Just poking fun at the people who were absolutely convinced that said company was evil ™ and would never do the right thing.

So you‘re saying all the panic was for nothing? Shocking.

I wrote both my bachelor’s and master’s thesis to Watch The Skies from Skyrim on loop. Yes, the same track all day for weeks.

So do bananas

Important note: this is about quantum teleportation. They transferred data between two quantum computers without a cable or wifi. Teleporting matter, let alone matter in useful quantities is far off.

Und deshalb immer schön den Durchschnitt der letzten paar Umfragen anschauen. D. Kriesel hat ein Skript, das das immer sehr schön zusammenfasst und bunte Bilder dazu malt.

Are those handheld or on a tripod. I’d imagine you would need an extremely steady hand or super fast shutter speeds to get those.

I wouldn’t say I’ve mastered it but recently I’ve experimented with backlighting and I’m relly happy with the results.

Edit: I use two remote controlled flashes with mini softboxes. The whole thing started out of necessity because at the club, when you have your flash on your camera or behind you, the fog just results in a mostly white photo.

Actually, isn’t this the optimal outcome? The new “security” features are now optional for those who want them. Everyone else can choose developer mode, has all the old features and is responsible for securing their network. We could argue if opt-in or opt-out is better but I see the argument for having “security” features enabled by default.

Are we sure this is MK8 and not some MK9?

So? Just because it isn’t useful for you that doesn’t mean it isn’t useful for others.

Well, quite literally. The park lies on that exact border.

Guter Knecht. Schnapspraline?

Here in Germany, we celebrate mostly on Christmas Eve. I have a couple of hours left to get ready before my stepdad picks me up. We’ll visit my grandma who sadly has to spend the holidays in hospital because she fell and hurt her knee. After that, Christmas dinner at my mom’s and stepdad’s house with most of the family, gifts and a relaxed evening. I’ll stay over night, have breakfast and then go home to finish packing everything I need for my winter vacation which starts on the 26th.

It’s been an exhausting year and I can really use the downtime.

Ich persönlich lasse einfach für jeden (bzw. jedes Paar) einen Kalender mit Fotos, die ich im Lauf des Jahres geschossen hab, drucken. Manche kriegen noch was oben drauf, aber so hat jeder zumindest eine Kleinigkeit.

With the trend to make ever larger but thinner phones, we’ll eventually end up with an A3 sheet of paper. I just want the 5/5S/SE1 or Mini form factor back. I don’t care about thin phones, only about being able to use the whole screen with one hand.
