As long as you avoid "I'm not interested in politics" as a cope out.

You said "EU parliament".

[–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago (4 children)

That was the European Parliament, not the EU parliament. Words have meaning.

EVs have existed for 10+ years now. Plenty of used ones in the market, famously depreciated by now.

You can get an EV for about 5k nowadays.

Agree on the public transportation, tho.

I owned an EV for 3 years while living in an apartment without charging possibilities. It's really not that big of a deal (in Munich at least).

You are thinking of the European Community for Steel and Coal, probably.

Carbonara is hard as fuck.

For one real carbonara needs some pretty exotic ingredients (guanciale and pecorino). On top of that it's relatively easy to scramble the egg yolks if you aren't super careful. Or make it super salty if you use too much guanciale / cheese.

I cook every day for the last 20 years and still my success ratio with carbonara is like 80%.

Aglio olio is impossible to screw up unless you dump a cup of salt on it or something ridiculous.

There's plenty of thin clients Intel based, any homelab enthusiast (or enterprise IT) is very familiar with them.

On the other hand, plenty of muscle arm, especially from apple, these days. Single core performance of M5 chips is top notch, might still be literally the fastest consumer core.

Also, datacenters are more and more arm focused, because of those same benefits: scaling and power efficiency.

Ok, I don't get it. Peter?

Same here (Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic 47mm now). I had the 43mm but the battery time difference is notable, barely above 1 day with the 43mm, comfortably 2 days with the 47mm. I got it refurbished for 100 euros a few months ago, the model came new a year or two ago.

I use it for alarms, notifications, occasionally for payment or calls, sleep and fitness tracking (no GPS), quick glance for the day's agenda (I'm in meetings all day). And time, obviously.

Oh, and one cool thing: it has a rotating bezel around the screen and it can be used to control PowerPoint presentations. Very nifty trick for when you forget your clicker.

EDIT: for completeness, I just had one smartwatch before (OG Galaxy Watch with rotating bezel), similar uses without payments. Failed after 5 years due to water ingress at a water slide. Also a Galaxy Fit 2 before that (smartband), for time notifications and steps. My wife has now a Galaxy fit 3, it's like 30 euros and does the basics.

Yeah, we have/had a bunch of samsung devices, but I wouldn't blindly recommend it to everyone, they just work for us.
