Take that YouTube

It's funny. Before this crackdown none of my co-workers used adblockers. To install an add-on was too much hassle. They just watched the ads.

Now suddenly they became interested after hearing about them again, and almost all are running Firefox with ublock origin now.

YouTube should have just kept quiet, I don't believe they are better off now more than before.

Why Germans put up with snail-speed internet

In the 80s there was a plan to roll out fiber optic throughout the country. But media mogul Leo Kirch lobbied for normal cable connections because he wanted his cable network TV to take off. Chancellor Helmut Kohl, his buddy, of course did what he was asked to.

So that today we could have fiber nationwide, but thanks to lobbying we don't. Thanks to Helmut Kohl and Leo Kirch.

Wonderful (a 1912 comic)

I'm still sometimes amazed of our modern technology while my little ones more or less ignore it. But when I showed them a telefone with a dial and a cable and told them that I could not move it around they would not believe me at first.

Like the man in the comic said, "uncanny".

EU group chat

The good thing: It's voluntary for companies. The bad thing is: For now.

Signal will not comply, so all the more reason to use this.

But the big companies (meta, Google etc) will definitely use this. If only to get them an itsy bitsy tiny more data about people. Sorry, I meant the ability to protect the children of course.

The EU in itself is a really good thing, but with this they really fucked up, putting the absolutely dubious way to reach this goal aside.

Climate change, wars, rise of Nazi parties everywhere, aren't we fucked enough already?

Legendary Half-Life YouTuber plans class-action lawsuit against Ubisoft for killing The Crew

I got the game for free, and I've been playing it since every three months for a few days, just driving around. I bought the sequel, but it sucked.

I never used the multiplayer component, I treated it like a single player game. And now it's going to vanish? This whole world? They can't be serious. This isn't a multiplayer only title, it's single player with an optional mp stacked upon it. At least put an offline patch out... Assholes!

But that's the crux with only buying licenses. Or games with always online requirements. I hope fans find a way to crack the online code!!

I've used Intel CPUs for years, but I'm going back to AMD | Digital Trends

First thing everybody has to learn about computers: Don't get attached to a brand/company.

2015 the core i7 gave me the most performance for my money. Last year it was the 7800x3D.

I had mostly AMD GPUs, but last year I got a 4700 because it's power consumption was unbeatable for the performance it has.

Always buy the best stuff you can get for your money, don't give a fuck about the companies.

Kommentare unter Nachrichtenartikeln machen mich krank [Wut/Enttäuschungs-Pfosten]

So ist das halt. Leute die am Boden sind treten auf Leute die am Boden sind ein. Erst gestern haben zwei Rentner gesagt dass faule Arbeitslose soviel Geld kriegen während arme Rentner sich nichts leisten können. Und hör bloß von den stinkenden Ausländern auf.

Dass das große Geld bei Milliardären und Konzernen liegt die massiv steuerlich bevorzugt werden und deswegen überall auch Geld fehlt kommt denen nicht in den Sinn. Lieber leichte Opfer suchen. Ist bequemer.
