I got smart locks on all my shit
nice
I custom designed my own dashboards too within the limited design functions of home assistant
I'm pretty happy with it
no but I have dedicated cameras in my cats hiding spots so i can find them easily
lmao
yes, I have an existential issue with cats :))
Was in my kitchen minding my own business yesterday and a tiny kitten was under my works car....
And now it is sleeping on my leg
Ffs
what's a works car
I have a car through work that I pay a small amount monthly for
oh
He looks like trouble
do u have doods object recognition for your cat cams?
like you could set a coloured light to different colours according to which place the cat got in
I hope not, we have 5 girl cats 😛
3 of them are sterlie, the other 2 are juat coming of age to be sterlised
Don't have any cat cams or doods, sorry
I meant scolias cos he said he has em
No
He/She yours?
My Huawei P30 from 2019 seems better than my Google Pixel 5a from 2021. And the Mate 10 I had before that was pretty decent too. Haven't used their tablets though. Their offerings did seem to get worse after the US went after them
Yup, I realized that 🙂
Yeah, unfortunately I don't want to pay more than that
Maybe, vet visit at 1100
Don't think it's trash though
It might actually be a raccoon though, I am hoping
I buy last gen usually, never been disappointed, Huawei p9, Huawei p10 pro, Huawei p20 pro, OnePlus 8 pro
The OnePlus is great, I've heard mixed stuff about the 9s
Gross.
I haven't followed their offerings since the US went after them. No 5G and no android updates now right?
Huawei is out now yeah
They were getting too good, capitalism had to kill them
The p50 looked great spec wise though
OnePlus has no limits
I prefer being spied on by the Chinese over the US 😉
Literally anything that's chinese made/designed is trash
Oppos are quite interesting too
I did try a few Xiaomi ones, but I wasn't impressed by the cameras
Guessing the Chinese EVs will surpass Tesla in sales here soon
why maybe? do they chip pets there? may belong to someone else?
Yeah, I'll see what comes along. If my next phone is a Huawei I'll port the android HA app to harmony OS
Exactly. Also... he is a he, other cats are shes
It has sounded like a snake pit in here for a few hours, so much hissing
what breed is that? do you know?
99% sure it is cat 🤣
Lynx you say
lol it's ok. most people don't know differences lol
those cats look neat but f all that fur shed
They don't shed that much
They are made to be outdoor in arctic climate
Their fur is water repellent too

exactly why they shed indoors. but then I guess your indoors probably do remain pretty close to outdoor temps on average
I am not loaded, like you!
Our cats are usually only inside to eat, then leave again
typical
are you sure they aren't the neighbours cat, and they just offloaded feeding to you?
cats tend to just roam the area and hang out where they like it /shrug
All the neighborhood cats and dogs love me
Except the crazy dog lady dogs
She has like 6 poms and a Chow chow
One of the poms just spin on its axis trying to get under cars driving past
sounds like a suicidal dog
Hard disagree. There's a lot of crap stuff, but there's also a lot of good stuff out of china
not everything is cut out to endure norway...
There's a lot of stuff out of china. The rate of quality is... Relative to the target markets
Yeah..they have a fifth of the world's population and a good infrastructure in place for making things. They are capable of making their own space station and sending a rover to Mars...
It's funny to see Amazon comments asking where the product is made...good luck finding alternatives at that price point. Heck, the ipcamtalk guys are anti China but end up buying their cams from a seller in Shenzhen 😅
there's china and then there's respectable chinese
they are not the same thing by any means
Yeah. Which is why I said there's also a lot of good or crap stuff. Hard to generalise as all Chinese stuff is crap
It's just cheap is usually crap and people prefer cheap lmao
hey, free is usually the best 🙂
it's not even cheap being the issue
it's the slap together to make a quick buck ethic
Yeah I'm not a big proponent of them by any means..just spent 30 mins at the barber complaining about them
Yeah the ethos is bad but it's really just a manifestation of the opportunities and incentives. Any other developing nation will also try to sell you fake stuff or crap
Just that the other ones aren't good at making it
The US was like that once upon a time. When they took the mantle from the UK there was a lot of IP theft
If you go into the coca cola museum in atlanta
There's a big wall of all these fake knockoff brands from that era
knockoff's of editable is not really the same thing. walmart use to sell it's own line of soda and a lot of people preferred some of it's versions over name brand but the product wasn't any better or worse for you or in quality
china is different. the materials used are crap to begin with. stuff like metals produced locally in china is completely crap which is why the better stuff created there outsource their initial materials
the whole country was built on a factory line with a factory type system in place from the very get go
why soe many companies outsourced labor from there
but the materials used were also outsourced in most cases
they were hands, nothing else
It wasn't generic cola it was real IP infringement. But I don't remember the details. Like a lot of people did it cuz there were no good protections at the time
Yeah, I hear you on that
Like they are built to make cheap stuff, so it's hard to ensure quality there
That's just incentives
again, that's not the same thing. nothing like china drowning the market with rip off seaways to the point the chinese company was able to buy out segway
Yeah, that's different, but also just incentives
like i said, there is china and then there is respectable chinese. anything that comes out of that country that is actually worth a damn was made from something refined somewhere else and then shipped there. anything pure local is complete trash
I mean basically when you get to nation trade level stuff it's pretty shady everywhere
The US f'ed over many European countries over the years
don't see how
Well, that's just not true that everything there is complete trash. But there is a lot of trash. Starting from what you mentioned..the industrial base was grown out of outsourcing the lowest tier/cheapest products there
And exacerbated by a huge disparity between worker wages and the incentives of being shady
And also by the CCP
CCP or not, that country was born screaming about disrespect while dishing it in bulk at the same time
just read an article about an airport in africa that the african goverment took a loan from china to build an airport to increase trade and during the pandemic they couldn't pay so the chinese lockdown the airport and kept everything paid thus far
so even now there is a chinese controlled airport africa isn't allowed to use
You are the raw meat guru, after all
Ah yes, the country Africa , typical Africa stuff, USA, United States of Africa
That just sounds like Amazon;-)
whats that suppose to mean?
That's quite a tangent from the quality of goods they produce. I don't think anyone here is saying they are altruistic or not self interested or not opportunistic. I certainly am not. Of course there are a lot of arguments to be made there on both sides, with a lot of whataboutism involved. All I'm saying is that there are explanations for their behavior that don't involve conjuring a uniquely corrupt culture. I do think they have some decent products - I'm open to buying a good roborock vac or DJI drone or dahua camera.
Yeah kind of but maybe more extreme and more avenues for dishonest profit
he's just jabbing amazon cause he's jealous his chinese supply route will likely be going under soon and he can't get 1 day shipping from amazon
You are of course aware that Africa isn't a country?
Eh, let's disagree to agree 
it's a continent but referring to it is no different that saying EU. not worth the time to say the countries name when you just clump you all together anyways
It sure is, there is no common economic zone like the EU, nor same governing law institution
But I understand this can be hard with a mediocre education
You are the ones who identify as a single nation but are 50 , its the other way around 
states are not countries by any definition lol
unlike some people we know, we can cross into other states and are protected by the same universal fedral laws
And Africa isn't a nation by any definition
it's a clumping
just as it's intended when spoken
like EU..
don't hate the player, hate the game
Nobody except Americans use the term EU to clump the countries of Europe
It defines an economic and lawmaking zone, it doesn't define the countries
blah blah blah
noone cares what you define it as, we define it as your all smooshed and sleep in one room
And this is where education has failed you
I'm always amused by American's that can't get the difference between Europe and the EU
Americans are the one that don't believe a country can be smaller than the size of the USA. So they bundle it together
I know an American who was shocked that Germany had states 😂
be thankful, we would rather define you by land mass seperated by water
I know continents can be hard too
how's the USSR atx?
you'll get the eventually
be so much easier to just call you the soviet union lol
not sure if your burial ground is any better lol
wait, you don't have ground to bury on
Yes, you aren't allowed to die or be buried on Svalbard
it's not like 15 (maybe 14) of them matter 🙂
not worth the hassel, likely be just swept out to sea by mud slide anyways
who do they fine if you decide to be a rebel die on Svalbard anyway?
noone it's an ancient law that isn't exactly upheld anymore according to the video i saw about it
They transport you off by force @proven spruce
but the act is done already, you're a dead criminal
I don't know the states there, so I presume there's some sort of reference to the one state that does matter? 😂
Not if they force you off just before you die 
Indeed, then they just transport you off
There's Bavaria, and then there's the rest of Germany that got glued to it 🙂 (BaWü is ok)
Well bmw is from Bavaria so can accept that lmao
On a side note, have to visit more of Germany at some point. Have only been to Frankfurt
Where do you think I got it
so is Audi. Not even 100km between the HQs I think
to Frankfurt, or only the Airport of Frankfurt? 😄
Oh interesting
Plus Norwegians have gotten fat and lazy off the teat of basically free power for too long
Nah properly to Frankfurt lol. Only place I've transited but not visited is Perth (which tbh there's nothing there. Sorry not sorry telco 😋)
Stayed in Frankfurt for like 3-4 days. Quick trip over from the UK to visit a friend who was there
BMW has a sort of Museum there
Audi is afaik a bit pissy about people on their premise. Though I assume they have a visitor area as well
Where's Mercedes based?
But honestly I just want to rent a car and drive around Germany/ other places in Europe too.
But first would have to get very comfortable with a manual car 😂
You should do a track day in Nurembergring
I haven't had a manual rental in Europe in over 10 years
mhhm. We adjusted and can accommodate those who never learned to drive
Hah, i switched to automatic in 2011
Never going back tbh
Modern automatic go brrrrr
Oh I've been told that's what's most of the rentals there. If there's auto then yay
I've never seen auto not being an option
I learnt auto because it's easy and I only have automatic cars. Can drive a manual if I'm desperate, but prefer not to
Also the clutch would prefer me not to
The manual is cheaper but they usually have an option
In Germany, France, uk, Ireland, Sweden, Spain and Norway
I always book the manual
Or as Sonoma would say, EU
Last time in Bordeaux and Mykonos they gave me the manual, but in Rome they "upgraded" me to an auto that was too big to park
manual on a roller skate would be cancer. manual on a sports car on the other hand
Said the nation with 7.4l engines than put out 180bhp
now your getting it
I'll be on automatic once my new car arrives as well 🙂
and yes, modern automatic is pretty good
hmm? like what?
7.4 is generally only found in trucks
Anything that is DSG or newer is heaven, so the last 20 years or so
Laughs in thunderbird
Even the non dsg on my Audi A8 2000 was very smooth
not sure where you get your info but the old 454's was like over 300hp factory
old 70's cars were never factory tuned to reach thier full potential on purpose
It says so, but the car felt like a Subaru justy in terms of acceleration
But you could see the gas needle move while driving
i mean thats olden days for ya
most of those engines your talking shit about was exported to your neck of the woods and put in shit with weird names
just fyi
the fix: Bigger tanks
and american rather you want to believe it or not
it wasn't german or japanese that won you races lol
I'll take Swedish chassis as well
Ironic that the thunderbird only had a 60l tank, had to refuel it every 250km
Volvo 245 with b21a engine, now we are talking
those old cars weight over 5klbs
like trying to drive your house and complain about it using fuel to do it
car ash trays were always shit
the lighter tho was really handy
hell they made jump packs that just plugged into your lighter so you wouldn't even need to raise the hood
its like you are proud of your messy house, posting so many random pictures
at least capture something cool
who wants cigarette lighters in their car D:
Yes, the life with kids is great
there's a reasno we just call them sockets now
kids didn't do that to your garage lol
are you ok? Do we need to evac you?
Yes, this is my garage
It's very nice
I park in front of the TV
Pretending I'm at the drive in
fuse break?
9️⃣
Is that a sound bar 😦
wanna see mine? just has the speakers on the tv itself? that make you cringe?
Replaced the 5.1 with a Klipsch, to be honest it's an upgrade
It's quite good, it's only the 600
The 800-1200 have atmos support
But this was big enough for our use by far
And it has night mode, where it still sounds good without sub and lower Dynamic range, which is great with sleeping kids
Was between this and the sonos arc, Sonos felt cheap in comparison
Interesting segment on the vulnerability of the us power grid on the latest 60 minutes @forest edge
texas? or california? lol
They are not bad but I can't justify them for the main viewing position. Yet to hear a bar with accurate center to sub xover.
All of them
You should try the Klipsch 1200 at a test center, it was very good, but I can't justify the price
I have, all my mains and outdoor speakers are Klipsch. I get to test them at the distributor, used to be a dealer. 😀
can't help you watch a show that knows foreigners are the only one's still watching it so skews the reality to keep them hooked because they don't know any better
Ok then, keep your eco terrorists who shoot up power transformers
was that really something on the show?
sounds like something california would do for sure but I haven't heard of it
I've seen multiple segments on it over the years
Sonoma I like how you blame every issue in the USA on California
One of them
On April 16, 2013, an attack was carried out on Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Metcalf transmission substation in Coyote, California, near the border of San Jose. The attack, in which gunmen fired on 17 electrical transformers, resulted in more than $15 million worth of equipment damage, but it had little impact on the station's electrical p...
It's hard for you to understand California, I think you are expecting too much from atx
I mean you blame the location it happens in right?
I can't take domestic news from someone who thinks Africa is a country thankfully @tidal bronze
Well given you would blame the EU even if it was Norway, then we should blame the USA even if it's California
atx was insulted I refered to africa like we refer to eu.. he wanted them to be the only ones
Did you say EEA
how do you come to that conclusion?
You're referring to a continent the same as a economic union. Have you thought about maybe calling it Europe instead
Or shall we just call Canada/ USA/ Mexico the Americas. With no distinction between them
if we coined it then sure
You're the one who is using the term incorrectly
It's 1 of the 2 happening places in the entire country. So yes I agree with you.
incorrectly huh? your the boss of the term?
The europeans would be the boss of the term, and they don't like being called The EU
Given European includes a few more countries than EU lmao
Like Switzerland, or the UK
Heck, don't call me European
then maybe someone should tell thier news to stop calling themselves that
They are all fools of a took
don't hate the player, hate the game
*their
But they only refer to the EU when it's actually the body not the continent
they refer to it ever chance they get
Must be a fox news thing
when something goes bad they want to be looked at seperatly, when one of them does something right they want to be viewed as united
When was the last time you visited the EU Sonoma and what country did you go to
children in a school yard
Sounds like America
You mean outside Missouri @umbral cliff

He hasn't been in California I'm betting

i know states and countries sound a like in old english.. but..
it's hard to grasp modren things i get it
if only the kings and queens didn't drop the ball maybe you all would be more simple
I'm seeing no answer to my question about visiting Europe
why would you visit europe? There's nothing to see here.

Oh yeah the entire EU is the same
all socialist slums
Yea, where people have to travel by bicycle D:
Don't forget the dreaded free healthcare
Season 11: Episode 10 - Space Cadet
You mean we have working sidewalks? Disgusting
don't you mean pavement?
Fuck bikes on the footpaths, put them on bike paths
don't you mean pavement as well?
No? It's footpath here
oh, you branched out.. yay for you
Our sidewalks are usually 3m wide, their literal translation is "walk and bike path"
what? Sidewalks are for walking. We have proper bike ways
Ah okay. Then they're barely acceptable
Only bike lanes in the cities
you people don't even call them sidewalks yet here you are
shared bike and walk is usually only between villages here
good to see the proper english taking hold
@umbral cliff
we have those
Highways? Yeah we know
used for motorized devices mostly
They're basically your suburban streets
I did see them in Georgia, they abruptly end randomly yes
actually we have both
Eastern European infrastructure sucks
lulz
But yes, American infrastructure is just as bad
atleast our ground dosen't turn to liquid and wash us out to sea..
The Centralia mine fire is a coal-seam fire that has been burning in the labyrinth of abandoned coal mines underneath the borough of Centralia, Pennsylvania, United States, since at least May 27, 1962. Its original cause is still a matter of debate. It is burning in underground coal mines at depths of up to 300 ft (90 m) over an 8 mi (13 km) str...
i do know about that eternal methane gas fire hole in the middle east
pretty sure that's kept lit at this point lol
Depends where you live. But overall there's work to be done.
California is probably one of the better states
I saw nothing in most of NJ and NY that i visited, Georgia was horrid in terms of reliability
i mean, i only live in the midwest
trains don't exist here..
they fly over from east to west
like quad in buisness class
So you never left the Midwest, is what you are saying
no point to anymore
That didn't answer the question, but I guess it did
can't help your memory is shit
considering we had this coversation a few times already lol
I would hate staying in the same place
i would hate stay in your place too
More stuff here then in middle nowhere USA
Lmao you're obsessed with that carpark
i mean..
can't help shit happens in the locations they happen in
we been over this
Im happy with where I am, get to work on government projects which are fun
Gotta sit down with a coffee for this 🤣
I'm judging you for the Starbucks btw
Mia Califia almond milk you say
2nd choice, out of macadamia milk. 😜
what position does blending a bunch of shit while wearing spandex come in?
You guys blend while in spandex down there?
thankfully that never left the coastal states
I really hope they bring paddling back to more areas
Ah yes, the devolvement of the USA
proper discipline is not devolement when modren practice continually show to fail
only in developing countries
Turkish Airlines, something else. What a shitshow
#1 capital for spam calls
Changed my flights 3 times and now canceled a leg. Screwed up my entire schedule
spam calls is inheritently an american problem, so someone sold your number to some indian callcenter for capitalism @forest edge 😉
that is not true, they effect many countries
not that anyone cares but russians get them
italy
australia
so underdeveloped countries then, without laws protecting citizens
thats two at least
it's many
yall got spam calls @umbral cliff
just not gonna sit here and name them all cause I don't remember the list nor care to type that much
EU gets them
hahahaha
aussie land isn't decades behind, are they?
EU yeah
nah, they are AU
that damn big country
when the phone lines work they get them.. so what? 25% of the time
We have retired phone lines, so who knows
was talking about au
yea, only old people still have landlines
germany gets them
you get spam calls @glacial knot ?
no
thought so
norway prob only never gets them cause they forget you exist
since they changed some regulation that they always have to start with their company when cold calling, they kinda died off
oh yea, also requirements to enable caller id and stuff for anything business related
We had a spate of them at one point, mainly leaving voicemails as no one answers. Then they now do SMS stuff
like i said, norway only never gets them cause people forget they even exist
so both a blessing and a curse

We have it bad.
i would bet, they target you and texas on purpose
Although I am yet to receive one.
and NY
I think the national do not call list center is ran out of california if i am not mistaken
The gov cracked down here a few years ago, and now starting to see results https://www.acma.gov.au/articles/2022-05/scam-crackdown-results-telcos-block-half-billion-scam-calls
closest to spam call I ever got was our health buro when I was in quarantine due to 'rona.
They had their caller Id blocked. I did consider just starting to insult them
A do not call list register does nothing to scam calls lol
it does
The berlin spectator appears to be a very shady newspaper too
So the criminals check the list then go "oh no we won't scam these people"
without actual protection put behind it, it's just a list of known valid numbers 😮
it's a little more than that
yes it catches the legit ones
but it also goes hand in hand with the phone provider
kind of like how uBlock works for the browser
Tbh scammers just grab any phone numbers that have made them to the leaks online. Then just call those
Or run through every possible number and see who picks up to make a list of active numbers (what they did here)
Most dial lists are randomly generated and dials till they get a voice pickup.
Very little to do with do not call list or any list
I got a couple (like, 2 or 3 over 2 years) bullshit calls on my business number. Because apparently our entire company contacts leaked at some point, and they tried to spear fish us =.=
isp's use that list to block calling line from their end
Since I have a need to pick up my phone, I just started saying nothing and waiting to listen for a voice. If nothing it's 99% of the time an autodialler
numbers that make it through but are suspected get labeled as Spam by the caller id through spectrum
google does the same thing
Easiest work around is disable VM. If the machine dialer hits VM it knows legit number and goes into a must call list.
I just grunt into the phone. It's on the other side to identify themselves if they call
people use voice mail? o.0
I have a use for it if I don't answer my phone
worse version of voice messages in IMs
I haven't had a seller call me in 18 years, i haven't had a scam call ever
I get legitimate calls
But it's just text
Voicemails here can just use voice to text and SMS them to you
So I can ignore easily
You must remember they only call if there's money to be made. Whole point of a scam call.
I never had any enabled ever. So no idea which features they have these days
Ooof
So that is why they call Sonoma, he is scammable?
Don't know why they ring me then. Got nothing for them to steal
should give your # so i can set up a forwarder and you can feel included for a change
Nice
It's actually sad what they do to people mostlythe elderly. Horror stories.
Hope America has stopped charging for international calls then
I get maybe 2 phone calls a month, so that would probably up my average
spam is the least of their problems lol
2 a month? You must be famous
depend son the provider but most do wave it yes
The worst ones are what's happening now, called the mum scam. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-12/hi-mum-messaging-scam-targeting-parents/101326776
Yeah, it is usually my mother and then some service I've booked confirming the date @glacial knot
the text ones scare me the most
Most services just text me to confirm the date lol
yea, i live close enough to my parents to just walk over when I feel like talking to them
They only call when they have to change the time usually
yea. Services usually write. Only one I ever had calling was when I forgot the name on the food order D:
Think the last landline call i made was somewhere around 2006
I question your memory, honestly
Takes more than a single reply, but yes they're most likely to be the ones that take money. Why I'm glad my grandma just ignores texts that aren't from people she actually knows
Mine was a few weeks ago. I still like landlines
Yikes
Even though here they're basically VOIP
I haven't even seen a landline phone outside of dark sites since 2013 probably
never seen a business?
Somethings are much easier over voice.
Oh true if you include business then yesterday when I had to ring and reset my password since they never sent the second half like they should've
voip like calmelb just said?
aka landline of today..
So like landlines in Australia
Teams, zoom or other
although we have the option of either
VoIP is mostly dead
Teams 🤢
I like the idea of old line better than voip personally
I like it. Works well 😂
I can call mobile phones from my teams client
Better than Skype for business
having something that works even if there was no power or anything is comfortaing
Teams working? I've barely encountered that
Teams is half baked
Mine has only once failed me
I've been using teams since it was beta, never had issues
That once was a international outage
Even google hangouts is better than teams 😂
Skype for business is crap. But also running software that's 2-4 years old is also eh
so, Teams?
No Skype for business is the old one
Skype for Business has been in retirement for years, servers were shut off this summer afaik
Teams client hasn't seen an update in over a year either
They definitely weren't all shut down
I get updates all the time @glacial knot
not really shut down. They are the Teams infrastructure D:
On prem ones will continue to run for sure
Ah yes July 2022 is over a year ago
Yay...
buisness without a tradtional phone is scary
no phones at all? just geeks with headsets?
hm, they actually had some update in April https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/ms-teams/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/
And mobile phones yes
why would I care about some windows client o.0
yea thats messed up
I need to check the software archive we have, when the update before that was.
Call me old fashioned but I like a landline. I'll still use a mobile, but whilst getting a Landline number is still free I'll use it
So how would you setup a service pickup for your car? How do they reach you with extra services? On teams?
I have a landline number, associated with my teams account
Because it's electron and so all OSes get the same?
But hey, maybe the Teams2 rewrite will help (it won't)
Online, via text or call on my mobile?
need to order a pizza, someone grab my laptop.. oh shit gotta call the doctor.. honey where's my razer headset?
So you text your dealer for pickup?
If they offer it yes
Lmao. Come on dude.
Yea, that's why the official microsoft distrubtion site hasn't updated since way longer than the windows client
also, they want to drop electron.
manual transmission is pretty common in gernomoney
Can only hope
china release virus that locks norway out from rest of the world and each other
you can still always request an auto for rental or lender
You mean the US wiretapping their allies in Europe @forest edge
please, you got nothing to fear.. not like your poor excuse for english is understandable anyways..
from what I understand they'll use part of what they did for Edge as platform then. But I never tried to really find out more
but also cost more :p
I don't pay for the lenders, and don't need rental in Germany /shrug
I think you are somewhat misinformed. When most say landline they are actually voip in most countries. So if it's a business it's a desk phone over voip and end user mostly mobile. So it's not a big deal like you think it is. Just perception. Our backends been switching out just most people don't know about it.
Just checked in the Avis app, 8 cars with manual, 15 with automatic if I want to rent at Frankfurt tomorrow
at&t still offer the old fashioned landline
can even charge your cell phone off it lol
Yes, we switched our landlines to VoIP in 2004, they are since mostly dead and the numbers are transferred to mobile phones that can be part of a call ring
Whatever you use is tech from here. Just that your country is tiny so swapping out is easier.
bet they use qr codes instead of buisness phone numbers on the front of shops too
We do use QR codes to order food or pay for gas yes
Old news
i mean for everything
Mostly yes
QR code menus suck
Still not implemented in Missouri I see
going into labor.. here scan this qr code to reach a nurse..
Most of the backbone is Huawei still, replacing parts with Ericsson
don't you have some Nokia as well?
that just sounds like a major disaster waiting to happen
Still tech from here
That's very old i think @glacial knot
yea, sadly they've not been the best recently
We had qr codes on our phone to get into the hospitals during covid yes, worked fine
I think atx does not understand scale.
yea, covid certificate and tests in an app were pretty useful
No, thankfully we don't need to scale to the immense stupidity of the USA 
they take the bits they like from us then turn around and bash us cause we we didn't go all in like them on something we gave them
It generally is when you bring up the same argument about scale every time 
If we are using your tech, just implement your tech

Scale
A good bit of that tech is China and Taiwan these days either way
Most of it is thankfully
Don't confuse manufacturing and tech
I don't. We work with the OEMs and ODMs. It's by far not only manufacturing that's in China
only cell phones and gaming headsets for long distance communication will never be a thing for us
But scale ... @glacial knot
it may seem like it now, but behind the scenes everyone picks up a phone off a cradle at some point
I have no interest in knowing your weight atx

hi, isn't the new beta supposed to coming out today?
I can't find the discord channel
also, the silicon is likely from Israel for Intel as well
masta beta
Manufacturing vs tech
Agreed. I do like the convenience & that so many places have digital menus to look at before I go, and I like to check what I ordered when it arrives lmao, but paper menus were nicer
Digital ordering though is easy when it supports google/ apple pay
Old man @umbral cliff
menus on phone is crap
You'll fit in in the US fine 
Tap what you want, click pay, job done
ah, they haven't done digital orders here mostly. But only digital menus. Which just sucks
Digital orders are nearly as common as digital menus here
digital ordering is ok. But only done as some novelty here
sure it works fine for places that only offer two choices.. cooked fish or raw fish but everyone else it sucks
You will never see QR menus at a good sit down place. Takes away the experience
We do both mostly, scanning the code also gets your table number, so you just order and pay in one go, food delivered
eh... not convinced of that
maybe not as a mian means
hi isn t the new beta supposed to coming
I have. But the place always had them, just with covid removed paper lol
but they do have those pamplets at the table with them
Even the upscale restaurants here do qr code now, very nice
You guys don't have many restaurants
Oh yes, American exceptionalism
Yeah I like some parts of the past. Luckily Australia let's me do my own landline whilst also having FTTP & gigabit down
Like that you specify down @umbral cliff
it's norway.. how would they justify the rental cost of the size of building required to sit 5 people who don't want to look at one another?
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/jobs/locations/israel/sites.html Intel has a decent bit of design and development in Israel.
Not just their huge fabs.

Still intel
Doesn't count @glacial knot scale....
Yeeeees? What are you trying to say now?
Just one of the largest chip designer in the world, doesn't scale
his point it's still us
just because a building/process resides in another country..
Mostly yes
I will say once they started making harley's in china I did kind of started viewing them as not american lol
that pissed off so many people around here
If it makes you feel bigger and scalable. More power to you.
Damn Germans, 15
I love that the table has average Daily temperature as well
with 14 to 18 being the same score. Also, shows that it can't be accurate. Way too many idiots here for that
it's in commy units tho..
Hey Australia beat the USA. I'll call that a win
You are right, Germany should be #3 after annexing Berlin to Denmark
I still think, not too bad for 27th place
Ah yes, money, the capitalist measurement, stolen wages etc
only capital in Europe that costs the country average GDP 😂
anymore i don't trust graphs, like the news.. some biased asshat put it together
It's the ol trust what agrees with me
I mean i don't wanna be the only one not posting bullshit
like you and spam, i don't want to feel excluded
Oh boy this is hilarious
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)_per_capita actually smaller than Norway by the interesting measure 😂
The figures presented here do not take into account differences in the cost of living in different countries, and the results vary greatly from one year to another based on fluctuations in the exchange rates of the country's currency. Such fluctuations change a country's ranking from one year to the next, even though they often make little or no...
GDP by capita can't call shots
like that distorted gdp section
that's more of a distribution than a GDP/capita issue though
True, but it will influence it probably
Roborock anniversary sale 😀
lemme known when they can scale stairs and do couches
Lol.
Surprised it wasn't you
pfft, the bikes are fast due to low weight
I like them a lot. Self-emptying meh
weirdo
im not old enough to drive a car but can legally drive any kind of bike 😂
i guess they dont want me to drive safely
I never bothered doing any kind of motorbike or moped certificate here, we can do it from 16, but since that is only 2 years until you can do a regular car license I just waited
buses were plenty
I could have gotten my car learners permit when I was 15/license when I was 16
I waited until I had a car though, which didn't happen until I was 18.
Looks like Motorcycle licenses are the same age here.
Transport trucks here require a commercial license, those come in various levels depending on the size/type of vehicle but you can get them all at 18.
Alcohol is 21 here, same as weed.
Though if you get a medical exemption you can get weed at 18
oooof when you don't understand why domain lookup is making a deployment fail

Round Robin

Basically what it's called when you have multiple A records for one entry.
Round-robin DNS is a technique of load distribution, load balancing, or fault-tolerance provisioning multiple, redundant Internet Protocol service hosts, e.g., Web server, FTP servers, by managing the Domain Name System's (DNS) responses to address requests from client computers according to an appropriate statistical model.In its simplest impl...
hah
I've never seen a round robin visually represented before
I didn't even consider it in relation to the bird
but I love it
Finally it moved on when I removed the duplicate entry

This is exactly my feeling towards asmr
Mmmmm this is exciting.
Just found out my goswift 4k camera has been making continuous calls to the Russian federation since this whole shit show started.
I'm doing my part in being part of a bot net targeting russia.
Are you?
Strong language from a person who knows one language 
I know sign language..
Let's be real tho, there is really only one language worth ever learning and it isn't norwegian..
It doesn't have much value outside of Norway no, but mandarin does have more value than English soon probably
like they say, you can wish in one hand and shit in the other..
Mandarin is an annoying language though
I hate tonal languages
I really dislike the way it sounds. And it's comparatively hard to learn for Europeans
Jup. tonal just makes things harder
Don't tell Sonoma,he will think it is a country
unimportant either way tho amirite
General knowledge sure does seem unimportant to some
general to some, useless to others
Ah, i see you found the textbook description of ignorance 
it's only ignorance to those who want to matter but in reality really don't
I have never shit IN my hand
just on someone's chest huh?
Must be an American midwest thing

"it's expected that Nvidia will recover from this 10% loss of their all year sales"
Probably by jacking up prices for consumers yes
yea, I've seen that earlier. I wonder if that's part of a larger push to classify more computers dual use, or another political play
I'm gonna say the latter
How not? That's like saying Germany isn't old.
Germany as a country isn't old either 😂
we just have a lot more still relevant history and old culture here
so India sayings is all that counts? i'm confused what you are getting at
Why get a 3rd continent involved?
your the one dictating what's old and i'm just trying to figure out this limit
🤷♂️
so another comment made out yer butt. gotcha
1871 😂 or we could cheat with HRE, then it's 600 some iirc
Rammstein sung it best i guess, Deutchland, so jung und doch so alt
I think we got roughly 100 years of something that resembles current Germany now? Split over 3 or 4 entities, depending on how people count
also, my neighbours smoke detector got an empty battery. It's rather annoying
Just start a fire, it will sort itself out
It'd be a bit obvious if I first carry my PC in my car and park that elsewhere
Great opportunity to get a new one on insurance
we have no shortage of our older throw away we send your way so you upgrading shouldn't be an issue
X
it is a lot older then freedom burger per square bald eagle land
nah. Honestly, the first time it's worth calling it Germany is Kaiserreich. And that's 1871 plus or minus some
HRE is cheating. And not a Nation in any sense
your maths are a little off
by about 100 years or so
i see, you learned a lot of nothing during school
oh?
not unusual for a burger land inhabitant
quite the hole your digging right now lol
i somehow have to reach you in yours
sounds like a mistake
i'm sorry, you are right
You are older than Australia itself, by 30 years though😂
well, BRD was founded 1949 soo D: And we had at least 40 years of not existing as one country in between
and hundreds of years of german history in before, going as far back as the year 1100
they should went all in with making AU a giant penal colony
i'd love to pat kangaroos jumpycats
your just lucky someone was there to hold back britian or you would be sipping tea and eating biscuits
you know, they'll drown you
germany was never a thing
I got 🫖 here already 🤷
austria hungary was
I see, someone would have preferred the Greater German solution
Did someone say the Scandi-greek Empire should have existed
I do love alternative history
where norwegian didn't become pansies and remained respectable like thier forfathers?
i respect the nordic countries much much, then the rest of europe
You mean the crossdressing omnisexual Norse gods? We are still like that
Quite accepting
not from what I have seen
you may dress up, but furries is not a respectable thing
you guys flat out took a 180 quite literally lol
let people do what ever they like in their bedroom
I won't let anyone ear crackers in the bedroom, that is disgusting, sleeping in crumbs
i agree, but if that is their wish, so it shall be
just dont drag it out into public
yes we are aware you guys take it every way possible
let them have their, and their animals fun
leave the people alone sonoma
considering the roman's weren't much different in that regard I understand the defensive nature
dont forget, thats where your origins come from aswell
not really. not according to genetic research
so where do you originate from?
oh right, i forgot the inselaffen inbreed a lot
I mean.. we could look into barbian history and look for inbreeding lol
must suck to be wrong a lot lol
I love seeing the bitterness
how accurate can we date that gif based on the youtube and browser design in the background?
take your guess ongy
youtube ui looks different in different countries
I'm gonna guess 2007-8
agreed

Sigh. I went on a business trip and the first day there was a power outage back home.
No worries. Everything starts up automatically.
Except I can't access my desktop via ssh. Everything else on the network responds.
When I get home it turns out that's because my computer is trying to boot off my keyboard...
yes
that's why you use a VNC capable KVM instead of SSD :expanding_brain_meme:
im not sure how i can make my pc boot automatically, dont you need to press the power button?
unless youre doing WakeOnLAN
Usually in the bios
huh, i didnt know of that
Based on previous state after power loss ? In the BIOS usually, WoL? depends on NIC
my WoL is weird, it doesnt work on a cold start(like, power's off, i turn the plug on, it doesnt work immediately. shut down once and then it works)
Sounds like a FW issue
yeah
WoL doesn't always mean 'wake from off', either
Never given a || Cleavland Steamer || before
it's even better when devices do WoL from off, but not S3 o.0
I've never seen it not be, but I've mostly worked with 3com from 1997 onwards
Or enterprise since 2005->
Yuck sleep states
Most PCs will let you set the power state on power resume in the BIOS. Could put a smart plug on it and just flip it off/on and set the setting to always power on on power resume.
Or throw an esp in it to control the power button on the mobo
Even knowing the reaction ahead of time, I'll say that Macs fall in this category. "Wake" doesn't mean "turn on", but instead "wake from sleep". They can also be set to automatically turn on when power is restored, so there's that.
annoying _sleep-proxy._udp.enters the chat
I should have known!
I was surprised and annoyed
In the end, if I turn on "power on when power is available" and "sleep when inactive", it's basically the same thing
@forest edge we are keeping the kitten, she has a bad paw but otherwise healthy
Just been watching fish videos with her
No chip and no one in local area has replied to the advert we put out
Gotta say, I'm loving the DT990s very much
Such comfort wow
Also, the sound stage in those are very good for the price
excellent! she will make a great snack, er i mean addition!
all fun and games till you need a pair of new fur lined boots
Did you see there's a horror Winnie the Pooh film coming out
The irony that the update did in fact fix the issue with being able to set the device as an interface and the fact that yes, it still does not like my PPP lmao

How have I not heard of this until today, Jackson Mississippi has been running low on water since June and now 180k people don't have running water
That's pretty massive scale
You just don’t understand scale. Remember
So the running water ran?
Can't be helped 🤣
Mensa having trouble scaling. Shit gets funnier by the day. Tiny countries should stay out of these soups.
I wonder if that's the Canadian polite way of saying you're too stupid for us to measure
Should I make a key switch into homeassistant
That sounds more like something for #general-archived - at least if you can explain there what that means
Well,time for a smarthome meet-up, which obviously has home assistant 🙂
New Raspberry Pi 4’s are selling here for $300 (4GB) …. madness.
why would anyone buy it at that pricepoint?
I know. I have no idea.
I have 3 I’m not using.
Might take a few photos and list them, see what happens!
add a keyswitch into homeassistant as a button

Is Franck in this discord by any chance
his website is down
He's on holiday, so it's unlikely he'll care right now
There's a filter under the blower (sucker) motor intake that gets clogged easily.
It was Err 13 issue. I did upgrade all the bots to s7 and this was lying around. Ordered the MB and it was a good call. Now 4 bots. 😀
I wonder how multiple bots would handle vacuuming the same room at the same time
Lol
must suck to live in the desert. all that sand blowing in requiring you to have an army of vacuum cleaners
Here we go. Desert is 60 miles north
but you wouldn't know it by the sand in your place huh

They make great stuff

Typical norwegian mountain spring water
hope you all atleast boil that shit before drinking it
Think you misread. Put your glasses on and Norway becomes Mississippi 😂
water crisis and shoving a hose up a whales ass and bathing with what flows out is two entirely different things.
maybe in AU that picture means water crisis but here it means shortage
Shortage, crisis. Both are shit. Especially when tap water comes out brown
Shouldn't be happening in a developed nation
well that's not accurate. most cases water contamination comes from the "developed" part of a system
Yeah and it shouldn't happen. Many countries manage water that comes out clear
it's inevitable
a shortage of a vital utility and base of living is a crisis IMO 😂
