Always a great game to get back into. Or get into in the first place.
The latest patch was kind of disappointing and I hope they do tweak some of the issues, but I’m still looking forward to the new expansion reveal tomorrow. The teasers were pretty neat so far.
They’re also hosted entirely in Germany, and really transparent about how many government requests they receive, most of which they outright deny.
Also, you can pay by literally mailing them cash, which I find mostly funny, but it does allow for true anonymity.
You just described the Total War series
HeliBoard is a privacy-conscious and customizable open-source keyboard, based on AOSP / OpenBoard. Does not use internet permission, and thus is 100% offline.
First Paragraph of the readme.md in that repository.
I dislike the microtransactions as well, but there’s an insane amount of disinformation about them in these discussions.
Almost all of the items are easily obtainable in the game by just playing, so there’s no gating of content behind the paywall. It being a single player game, there’s also no competitive advantage to be gained by buying them for real money (or inversely lost out on by not buying them)
The whole discussion is blown widely out if proportion.
If you work from home, you’re spending a lot of time in that chair. A good, ergonomic chair can go a long way to mitigate back issues.
The more you learn about JavaScript, the less you understand how the modern web actually functions.
Yeah, no reason not to. Takes only a couple of seconds to boot, and everything is reset to a clean state.
A timezone is a constant (barring DST shenanigans) offset, which works for all the hours of the day. I can look at my watch here in Germany and I know that it’s 8:15 in New York right now. So I know that it’s still early in the day for my buddy Jeff.
In the same-time everywhere logic, I would need to remember specific times, like “people in New York usually start working at 15:00 and stop at 24:00”, which is just plain inefficient.
There seems to be an interval in which the app actively actively polls data from the car. It defaults to 4h and only during daytime.
I guess if you set that to a very short internal and the car is not currently charging (at which point the 12V battery does nothing) there could be quite some battery drain.
That said, draining the 12V battery of an EV to the point where you get problems seems difficult.

I found a free and foss alternative to OpenAudible that seems to work fine: https://github.com/audiamus/BookLibConnect
There’s a sister project to convert the aax (m4b) files, but I found that to be unnecessary.
Aren’t forums absolutely notorious for forbidding “thread necromancy”?
This honestly looks really really good. I played a lot of TR2 in my childhood, might pick it up for nostalgia.
I think the “make it look how people remember” is a great approach to remaster graphics. They were iconic and state of the art back when they came out, but PS1 era graphics are among the worst-aged graphics out there.

It’s listed on Steam for 26€, including a 10% discount.
The reason that polar bear liver has toxic levels of vitamin A is that seal liver does and polar bears eat those.
So don’t eat seal liver either.
I’m not familiar with the current state of Linux, but the minimum usability bar for the general public is never ever having to open a terminal.
The path of grace is literally a giant yellow floating laser pointing in a general direction. It’s not precise, but “subtle” is not exactly the word I would use.
