It's a thing, it's just run by the same companies, so you're stuck with them either way.
Are you saying you have to pay those companies for access to satellite TV? In Germany it's completely free, except for the cost of buying and setting up a satellite dish of course.
And ISPs here aren't exclusively cable TV companies. Internet over coax cable does exist, but since there is competition from DSL and Fiber ISPs it's actually priced very competivitely
Onshape and Fusion360 both have tons of great tutorials available, and they are completely free for non-commercial use. There is a reason those are used by almost everyone in the 3d printing community.
That comparison is so bad that I'm not sure you are making it in good faith. Being mentally handicapped or belonging to a minority is not a choice, being obese is.
If you make the conscious choice to be obese you really can't complain about the consequences the same way the former can. And you especially can't complain about people referring to you by the medically correct term
You can't get shadowbanned by subreddits. You are either shadowbanned across reddit completely, or the /r/conservative mods gave you a regular ban from their subreddit. It's also possible your comment/post is stuck in moderation queue and therefore not visible to others until it gets manually approved by a moderator
Was, das habe ich noch nie gehört? Ich habe bei der Sparkasse, Commerzbank und Santander ein Girokonto, keine davon verlangt Gebühren fürs Geld abheben bei Automaten der eigenen Bank. Bei der Commerzbank und Santander kann ich sogar 3 mal im Monat kostenlos bei Automaten einer fremden Bank abheben.
Außerdem kannst du kostenlos Geld abheben, wenn du im Supermarkt per Gieokarte (aber nicht Kreditkarte) zahlst
Basically caused the biggest information infrastructure disruption in human history
Do we have any solid data on that yet? I have my doubts that this caused more damage than WannaCry did a few years ago, especially since it's reversible without the need of a backup
That's such an americentric statement. There are other countries in the world, you know?
In Germany we have such a small amount of stray dogs, or ones getting surrendered to shelters, that shelters have to import dogs from other countries to fulfill demand. And there have been tons of cases where those turned out to come from puppy mills abroad.
So yes, there are cases where buying from a reputable breeder is a much more ethical option than getting a dog from a shelter
I disagree. Processing power may be similar, but Nvidia still outperforms with raytracing, and more importantly DLSS.
Whats the point of having the same processing power, when Nvidia still gets more than double the FPS in any game that supports DLSS
