Its becoming more common here in Central Europe, most new builds family houses have them.

They have a couple drawbacks, like the high upfront cost (in my country a mid-range pump can cost between 3-8K Euros) and they work best with well insulated buildings, but once its installed they can save a tons of money, especially when paired with solar panels or wind turbines.

Thats a lot. My whole water installation was under 5k (plumbing without appliances + floor heating) for a 110 m2 family house, plus got mutiple offers for heat pumps (install+setup) between 4k - 8k with different mid-ranged models (air-water) after stating my budget. Of course there are high-end models for 10-20k, but I have no reason to choose smart features and buzzwords for the premium price.

Location is Slovakia, but prices in Hungary and Czech Republic are similar. All prices are from 2025-2026, with government support program for energy saving appliances.

Two Worlds and Two Worlds 2 The first one was advertised as the "Oblivion killer". Which is hilarious, because of how janky bug ridden pile of code it is. Yet I love it. I could create such broken OP characters, which could one shot bosses.

The second one got a bit better production quality, but its still a broken mess. Love it.

2nd is the better game, if you want a little more streamlined experience.

I would not worry about the story, the voice acting is so ridiculously bad in a funny way, you will not remember anything, just the presentation.

Always makes me laugh, "what a god" :D It demonstrates the game really good

Yup, except the two words games had like 75 USD budget and 2 voice actors tops :)

Driving a modern car is like sitting next to a toddler playing on an electric keyboard: Welcome theme tune, traffic sign detected, over speed limit, look at the road, you look tired, you put the car in reverse... Ding-ding-ding

EU has its many flaws but they pretty much doing their job in regards of consumer rights, human rights and protection of personal data.

I hate Tik Tok and also hate copyright disputes but can't help but smile when these big corporations have arguments over money and people start taking sides, like Tik Tok or Universal cares about any of their customers.

Customer: I didn't like the taste of this cake.

Management response: Dear customer, thank you for taking the time to try our cake. This is a cake, which is sweet and tasty by definition. We made the cake so customers can enjoy the cake and taste the typical cake ingredients which taste sweet and tasty. The cake experience as we created should appeal to everyone because cake is tasty.

Customer: Wtf, it tastes like wet socks!

Management: Cake

They should go one step further and ban the programming language as well the emulator was created in. That will show them!

I also work from home and use my work laptop for work only. Not even googling stuff, nothing. Just work. Never even opened the media player or went to youtubes website once.

I have my own computer running on a separate screen and I can do and watch whatever the fuck I want during working hours. I can play a game or watch a movie and nobody knows. Its that simple.

Same with phones. Never use work phone for personal stuff.

Its not even being tech savvy, just common sense ffs.

Read the text 3 times before spotted the 36 on the pic. Where is the useless red circle when you have a brain fart?

Ilk go to see SOAD twice.

Its funny and all, but this guy is a fucking danger to society, and proud of it

IR blaster for smartphones. I still have one on mine and I can use it for tons of stuff, not just as a TV remote.

I even worked for a company who made lots of IR based products (taps/faucets, accessibility stuff) and it was amazing how many people had to buy the dedicated remotes for these products for extra money.

When I asked them if their phone has an IR blaster, so they could just download a free app and use it instead. "I have an iPhone" was the most common answer.

Many people I know are also using LLMs for searching stuff.

Its just baffling how they can trust a single answer frankensteind together from often unknown sources presented as a fact.

Jeez we are fucked, aren't we?

Ok, if an article is 500 words long and the bot shortens it to 80 is still reasonable to call it TL:DR, however if there is a 1000+ word article we have two options:

Shorten it to 2-300 words and still give us most of the important details, or give us a two sentence summary, which is the true TL:DR for me, but most headlines also do the same job.

Personally option 1 is much better and I don't care how the bot is called. I'm okay with reading one phone screen worth of text instead of clicking the link and skimming through whatever side content and ads they have and reading 5-10 times as much.

Call it something else if you don't like the TL:DR bot name, or block it, but it's super useful IMO.

Agree 100%. It's just an unhealthy dose of sugar and caffeine, which is hardly regulated.

They should add a bid option. Then watch people snipe your lunch the last second.
