  • All true, but they are also failing at simple stuff. Requiring a closed company's format or services is a monopoly. Especially if "everyone else is doing it". That is when regulators need to step in as it's a market failure when there is a single vendor "everyone is using".

  • Guake. Has been for years. I am in and out the terminal all the time, so F12 works well for me. Plus I used to play Quake and used the in game terminal to do all kinds of things. Plus I'm an old RISC OS kid and F12 was the key to get the "star line".

  • Yes, which is why we have anticompetition laws. It's just for some reason, people can't always see competition problem when it's technology.

  • Imagine when they are long range and readily available. Any old despot could load on a rough GPS location and a face. Deniable foreign assassination becomes easy.

  • It should be ordinary. But it isn't. Which means the market stagnants as competition basically stops. Like how Microsoft basically closed IE development when IE "won" the browser market by achieving monopoly.

  • Marketshare? For desktops sure, but servers? The internet is made of Linux servers.

    Oh and lots routers, switches, hotspots, smart things, all kind of little things.

  • There no hate speech laws this breaks? He's literally calling for violence on a group of people.

  • It is a Ford. I just want buttons. We also have a Citroen eBerlingo and it more primitive (cheaper) but the upside of that is old school buttons.

  • To change the temperature of the air, seats, or clear windows, I have to look down and across, away completely from the road, and watch my fingers press "buttons". Or worse, use menus!

    At some point it feels like I'll crash because I can't see through the fogged up window, or I'll crash because I was looking at touch screen instead of road.

    Not crashed yet, but lot swerves.

  • Which one was that Passman or Nextcloud? I've run two instance of Nextcloud Password and one of Passman, for about the same time, with no issues.

    Other people do seam to have issues running Nextcloud in general, but I've never had anything but PHP version stuff that is easier fixed. I love Nextcloud!

  • If you don't have admin, and arguably source code, you don't own it.

  • No love for Nextcloud Passwords or Passman? Both have plugins for Nextcloud and have Android Apps.

  • Pretty sure NATO is going to be tested. After Ukraine. He'll build up his forces on a board and see what happens. If there isn't a NATO build up response, I worry he'll push over that boarder. Then what? We going to nuke him? No, we won't. Partly because Putin has got friends in high places in the West. If we didn't ready a traditional response, we could be salami sliced while we debate when to nuclearly respond.

  • I've been expecting a VPN ban in the UK for many year. But I think now they may have got too big. They are used on mass by normals to protect themselves from ISP spying and to feel protected on random wicks. I get in place ads, by presenters, on main stream political and news podcasts.

  • My e-Berlingo is very basic. It can't get remote update, it has to go to the dealship for them. I don't think it has a data connection. Claims to has some, but you can turn it off and I bet it's only for dealership download when it's in for repairs. It can't even keep time. It loses like a minute a week (which is the worse time keeping I've ever seen and I'm getting to be old now). So not doing NTP!

    I count it's basicness as a feature not a bug. I just use Android Auto (originally on a de-googled LineageOS and now GrapheneOS with Google sandboxes. I use Organic Maps).

  • That's pretty neat. Game streaming isn't that different. It basically loads the adjacent scene blocks ready for you to wonder in that direction. Some load in LOD (Level Of Detail) versions of the scene blocks so you can see into the distance. The further away, the lower the LOD of course. Also, you shouldn't really keep the same origin, or you will hit the distort geometry issue. Have the origin as the centre of tha current block.

  • In H2 car the H2 is just a really inefficient battery. Sure it can hold a lot, but it loses a lot. You lose it in energy conversions (to H2 and from H2) and you have to transport the stuff, and it leaks (smallest element) and it has to be cooled and compressed.

    Battery tech is getting all the time, and really, you only need 300 mile range (many have that now) as humans have to stop for a rest/wee. With a charge network like or petrol network, you can charge then.
