and you won't have to pay premium for that
And this took how many years and why? Such a weird, arbitrary limitation.

It may sound unlikely, but valve is nowhere near the size of would need to be for that. Also the fabs that actually make the ram are owned by like 2-3 companies world wide. Everyone just rents time slots in those, booked many years in advance. It costs billions and takes many years to build more of those. The machines used in them are made by exactly one company world wide.
Tldr: never

Hitzewelle in Deutschland: Beliebtes Klimagerät „Portasplit“ wird zur Mangelware

Nein, weil es quasi kein anderes gibt. Schon gar nicht in dem Preissegment. Deswegen ist es populär.
Hatte mich auch dafür interessiert, schon für Jahre. Gibt effektiv nur genau das eine.

Factorio 2.1 has released
Wasn't it just released to experimental, with the expectation of staying there for the summer? This sounds like it's done and released, but it isn't...

Train service suspended throughout Germany – no end in sight at this time
The outage has apparently been resolved as of an hour ago or so. Trains are starting to roll again, how ever long it'll take to get back to whatever is called "normal" these days.

That you have to decide for yourself, and it probably also depends on what the bonus is. Functionally they are bribing you to choose the worse choice for you. The bribe might be worth it. If the game turns out payable and stable, it's all good. If it's a buggy mess, unfinished or you need to wait for like 5 patches anyway, was it still worth it?
To me there are also very few games that I need to play the moment they come out. I probably can't finish my backlog of games in my life time as it is, so a few days or even months wouldn't change much for me. Is rather wait and not fall into the marketing trap of "but free stuff".

[META] Are paid for, closed source projects, being advertised on this community, appropriate?
While I'm fine with people wanting to self-host stuff with closed software (this includes Windows and Plex, btw), I personally am not interested in having ads of any kind in the community.
To me self hosting is about controlling your data. While I wouldn't use proprietary software myself for this, I just want to make it clear that I'm fine with people asking for help it advice about it. Just not ads, of any kind.

For me personally an ad is when I'm being sold something. I can't be sold something that is free and open. So someone showcasing their paid (but self hosted) service is an ad. Someone telling me about their (open) project is not.
And when someone wants to use either and asks for help, is also (obviously) not an ad. Unless we see a flood of accounts posting trivial questions about a paid service to draw attention to it, but I kinda doubt it.

Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

As I said it's probably the best/easiest solution for individuals, but unsuited for groups or families.

Poland invests $11m in ElevenLabs to develop Polish AI hub
So they are basically funding like 3-5 servers. Good luck with that "hub".

Or just a keepass file in a network or NextCloud share. Works perfectly well for any number of devices, but obviously can't do sharing of secrets to others.

GOG when available, but what should I choose between PS5 physical and Steam when not?
Reply in thread
As always "it depends". Especially with frequent and deep sales it highly depends on the title. But given that it has to exist on both platforms for this to even be an option to begin with, it might be true more often than not.
This might also be an additional consideration, that selling titles is an option for physical PS5 titles. Assuming the discs can always be sold and copies aren't tied to your digital account anyway once you play them.

I use arch (kinda), and has zero issues. It was a problem if you used unmaintained packages from arch, as adopting them and contaminating then was the attack vector. Using someone that's unmaintained is always kinda questionable, so instead I'd just manually install that instead (it shouldn't change if it isn't maintained anyway).

Anyone who pre-orders a digital product that can't actually run out of stock is a true mystery to me. Just wait and see. If you're I've of those eager to pay this, you've already waited literally years. Add a few days, see if it's actually playable and not a buggy mess.

Most in Germany want Australia-style social media ban: poll
This sounds good on paper until you realize that what is considered "social media" is up to whoever happens to hold that position. Even ignoring the fact that it's unenforceable anyway, unless you require a real ID, wish is just straight up worse for all sorts of reasons.
The idea is nice, but actually putting it into law without opening the door to censorship and other side effects is just not plausible.
Edit: also, Everytime you read about a poll like this, ask yourself: what was the question they asked? Did it provide any context? Did it require any understanding of the actual underlying issues and laws? Or was it some variation of "think of the children"?
