So that kind of means that the high-end AAA PC market will crash in the next years, right? No new GPUs, production stop for existing GPUs and rising prices for GPU & RAM in combination with inflation and a bad economy ensure that many people can’t afford a gaming computer. And that a lot of those younger gamers can’t afford to start this hobby.

And that means a shrinking audience for games, which need all this GPU power. If you’re an AAA publisher, it kind of looks crazy to invest multiple millions into a game that you can’t be sure that your audience will be able to afford to play

That’s so wrong. They might have failed for now, but we’ll see them trying again. And again. Google is the worlds most valuable ad company. They earn billions every year by showing people ads and adblockers are costing them several billions every year. They will come back and they will try again.

If you have Android, you can install Firefox and use uBlock Origin there. It’s awesome :)

Let’s be honest: The internet without adblock is unusable. I really do not know how all those people without adblock are doing that.

The best thing about this is that it enables you to stop organizing all this paper. I have a little box next to my scanner and everything that is scanned is just getting put on top of the pile. In most cases you never need the original document anyways. But if you need it, you can check Paperless when it was scanned and you will find that document from Feb 2023 in a few seconds.

You are correct and incorrect at the same time. Yes, nobody should trust Meta. But Meta should also be dragged into every court available for their lies.

To make this clear: Patreon is a platform mainly used by creators, artists, musicians to get a reliable income directly from their fans. Apple is trying to steal 30% of the income of our favorite artists.

Yeah, not sure what OP is smoking. China is doing the right thing here. Build a lot of local solar & wind and gain independence from all those unreliable fossil fuel dictatorships while doing something to slow climate change.

Yeah - VR sounds like a nice thing, but everything about it is just not there. It’s too expensive for something to play around with and buying into Facebook is also not something I want

Let’s be clear here: It is not Grok. Grok is a software developed by employees of Elon Musk that is capable of generating child porn and deep fakes of ordinary people. That software doesn’t have the saveguards to prevent this and was released to the public. Elon Musk, the whole leadership of X.com and their employees there were made aware that this is happening and did nothing for several days. So let’s not pretend that some “Grok” was doing it.

TVs are cheap. Just get a used one from Kleinanzeigen.

I can open it without problems

Yeah, but if local police wants to give information to the citizen, saying “that unofficial page that usually works, but might also be broken is a good way to access our content” is not great.

After Elon wrecked everything, not-logged in users can’t even see the recent tweets of an account. So those orgs are not only using a nazi-childporn platform, nobody can see their tweets

Just to give you two examples of stuff I used today:

Excel has PowerQuery, which is a really fancy and nice way of importing data into your spreadsheet. You can import data from another spreadsheet, from an CSV, a database or from websites and update them with one click. You can also transform that data during import. So if you want to just use two columns of that spreadsheet from accounting, you can import them in the format you need. And if accounting updates their spreadsheet, you can update yours with one click. LibreOffice doesn’t have this as far as I know with that power.

The other one is simply plugins for nearly every other business system in the world. I have this nice BI plugin which gives me a pivot table of our sales data. So if I want to know how my revenue was yesterday, I can update my spreadsheet with one click. I can also jack into our CRM and get f.e. visit data from our sales reps.

So in this case I can take some data that is sitting somewhere on the company drive, import & transform it and then mash it up with sales data from BI and CRM. So building a quick report like “which accounts were created last year and have no sales and have no visit from sales reps” is quite easy. And if I want I can also set this up to create this with PowerQuery & Co so that I can do this report monthly/weekly without having to copy & paste data every time. That’s not really possible with LibreOffice right now.

There will be comments that this is not a job for Excel and that you should use Python/SQL queries/whatever for that task, but Excel is what most companies have. I could do it with Python, but it is not installed on my business computer and people are used to Excel and are not trained in Python. There is a reason why businesses are using Excel for everything and that is because it is easy, quick and gets shit done

I did and it’s awesome. People like to shit on Excel, but there is a reason why every business on earth runs on Excel. It’s a great tool and if you really learn it, you can do great things with it.

I can also recommend frigate. It’s an awesome piece of software and it really is what OP wants

I am certain that my AliExpress headphones will get updates in the next few weeks!

Yeah - Facebook kind of is the right company to produce something like this. They kind of had a little bit of this with Farmville back in the day. They have all those people and your aunt on their apps. There has to be a way to get all those Facebook users into gaming, to get all those WhatsApp groups to play together or to implement something on Instagram. It’s really stupid how they did this

The most funny thing about this is that they banned you for 7 days. No permaban for the russian government agent, just 7 days!
