  • And that's why comparing different people's ratings is so difficult. 10/10 can mean "absolutely perfect and impossible to ever improve upon", it can mean "the best possible execution right now", it can mean "the best expected result with no major flaws", it can mean "I had a good time and would recommend this to anyone", and so on. All of these definitions are valid.

    Aggregate scores paper over those differences. That automatically makes them less accurate.

  • Dice!

  • It's that way with d10s for me. I see a nice-looking set of D&D dice and I pass it up because I know that I will basically never really use exotic dice like d12 or d8. Or d6, actually.

    Look, what I'm saying is that they should sell pretty sets of 100d10 for those of us who play Exalted 2E.

  • One important factor is that one of our biggest political parties (the CDU/CSU, the one Angela Merkel is in) is basically run by and for 60+ year old people who stopped caring about technology in their teens.

    To them, the internet with its homepages and electronic mail is a very recent and poorly understood development that will surely require another few decades of observation before anyone will know whether it's actually good for anything.

    And that's the party that ran Germany for almost two decades uninterrupted. They're by far not the only reason but they're a major one.

  • Death caps aren't red, they're more like a pale green or even entirely white. You're probably thinking of fly agaric, which is also poisonous but not nearly as much so as death cap.

    There is a wide variety of poisonous fungi and some of them can look deceptively similar to edible ones. "All poisonous mushrooms look similar" is really not true so yes, never eat anything that you can't identify with 100% certainty.

  • The Pandora was pretty cool even if it took so long to get manufactured that the SoC was outdated by the time I got mine. I do have vivid memories of playing Kolf on it during a long and boring speech.

  • That's pretty terrible UX, though. I think it's more likely that websites will continue integrating a CAPTCHA service and that service will simply try to short-circuit its decision by asking for attestation. If none is given the user gets to click on pictures of street lights.

  • Is manually limiting your charging to 80% necessary anymore? I've heard people say that modern phones / chargers are pretty good with handling that for you.

    They are. My phone gets all night to charge to 80% and will only go beyond that if I tell it to in advance.

  • At that point there's no way they can argue that the battery is user-serviceable without extra tools. Sure, they could argue that the law doesn't specify that they can't sabotage the device if you swap your battery but European courts have traditionally taken a dim view of that kind of tomfoolery.

    I'm pretty sure that Apple aren't going to risk having to suddenly take all of their devices off the shelves. It's cheaper to comply.

  • Assuming someone makes a ROM for your device. This is often the case if you go with one of the most popular models but less popular devices might simply see no development effort – if the developers can even get their hands on the drivers and other necessary parts to build Android for that device.

    It'd be great if manufacturers had to release all of the stuff necessary to run AOSP on their devices but I doubt it's going to happen.
