My CCR time is some years ago. I probably missed something. :)

Is this a JJ-CCR on the picture? The best thing about these are the stands. Had an APD CCR some time ago. Good CCR, but the missing ability to just let it stand by itself was shit.

It’s actually not necessary the concentration power but the available time when being adult… 🤔

Reading 2 books wouldn’t be a huge problem today (if they are good and less then 1000 pages). But unfortunately the two toddlers here say no to me sitting a few hours on the couch and reading some book.

One big reason for my replacement last year was th camera. The X camera was nice back then… but now? No. Too much capabilities missing.

And of course 5G is quite ok. I like the dynamic island, 120 Hz screen, and some other features.

My old X ist still lying on the desk and works. But I retired it after 5 solid years of work.

Someone should create himself a reminder in 7 years to check if Google good this promise and still provides major OS updates for this Pixel.

Apple delivered 5 major iOS updates to the iPhone X + the whole iOS 16 lifecycle with probably some additional security updates in the next 1-2 years. Let’s see how many updates the new iPhone 15 (Pro) models will get. I expect not less.

When you compare the size. When you compare the population… it depends.

While having a huge porn industry.

You could just put it in mWh. BAM, bigger number.

3000 mAh * 3.7V = 11.100 mWh Much bigger. Much better.

I hate mAh… it’s absolutely no information how much energy is inside without taking the voltage into account. If you use directly (m)Wh, you directly have the amount of energy the battery can contain.

Had just 4 X-Buttons… could be worse. 🥸

Damnit, I forgot one cable.

Just speaking for current divers (as I’m too young to have experience with the old divers):

Yes, there are crazy ones. But diving itself is quite safe. As long as you follow the rules. Even diving deep hast safety layers. As long as you follow the rules (!!!).

The most important rules: plan your dive, equip yourself according the plan and the most important rule: follow your plan and don’t change it mid-dive.

That’s why I switched sides. From programming myself to developing functions and writing requirements which someone else can implement into code. :)

I could do some programming (did embedded C), but surely I wasn’t the very best in it. So now I’m the guy who defines what a small (but essential) part of SW has to do which will run in hopefully a few million cars in a couple of years. :) Much more fun (and money).

Luckily the Discovery came from the past and saved everyone with the funghi-drive. :)

Discovery had some nice ideas but… well. Alone the constant drama and crying Michael Burnham made the series quite unattractive.

Also the story behind the great Dilithium Explosion. Well. A sad, and alone child. Well. They could have thought about something better.

There were better ST series.

Yes it is the middle finger/toe.

Horses have 5 fingers/toes in their genetic, but only the middle ones develop. The reason is that one finger/toe has advantages for a huge weight and wanting to run quite fast.

Do they still release lions and tigers within the coliseum?

Probably because the need of moderation.

If you host an instance and let people in (even if it’s a limited circle, i.E. your students) you are responsible for moderation. I think that’s something institutions back off currently.

For an mail server that’s much easier.

Still waiting for Teslas driving from west to east coast completely autonomously. And Elon flying to mars.

The reliance on fossil fuel didn’t change a lot since shutdown of the last nuclear power plants. And basically… nuclear is also fossil. The fuel rods aren’t just there. They consist of materials which are mined. The difference is only that they are not emitting CO2. But instead the nuclear waste has to be stored for some thousand years. Germany already has a lot of tons of waste and still no place for final storage.

And as we could see last year in France, nuclear isn’t also that much reliable too.

The quitting of nuclear energy was still the right decision. The timing together with the Russian/Ukrainian war wasn’t the best, but unfortunate something like shutting down a nuclear plant ist something you can easily postpone when the plan is planned and startet to execute. Also a bad decision of previous german governments was to shut down nuclear plants and not building up a replacing renewable infrastructure. So in the end, there was no other choice for the current government to shut them down and rely on gas and coal a bit more than they wanted too.

I run a private Mastodon Instance. The server gives me the option to automatically delete the media-cache after a given number of days (I have it set to 180 days). If the data is needed again, it will be pulled from the original instance. Again. If still available.

An additional setting is the deletion of the federated content at all, which is saved on my server. This probably cannot be reverted, as the server doesn’t know anymore what to pull from what server… I have this setting at 365 days.

Additionally I can set my personal account to auto delete my own posts after a given time. With being able to set some excludes (favorited, bookmarked, posts which got a minimum of likes, …). But this is not a server setting, it’s an account setting.

Social media does not need to be saved forever. :)

And how much is still dark?
