  • Growing up in rural France, we had these at home for as far as I can remember. They may not have been the norm 30 years ago, but at least common.

  • Thermostatic faucet

  • These things existe for at least 30 years, I don't understand why anyone would want to use anything else for a shower or bathtub.

  • Observe while I shower comfortably with:

  • Amazing ! Thanks for taking the time and effort to do this. You're the GOAT !!!

  • I really hate this photo.

  • I want to hear the result of the meow going through 2 distortion pedals, this must be epic !

  • $3500 for a 2 bedroom apartment? This is so insane.

  • Why not both ?

    6 hours a day, 4 days a week, same pay. My productivity would be unchanged if not increase!

  • Sea water, very salty

  • "we have home middle man"

    Weight Dad: "over aged"

  • Wow, I always thought it represented a spectrograph of radio communication. I guess you can see it both as the bridge and the radio, that's a really clever logo!

  • Are you converting your home network to tokenring too ? :D

  • Some power-supplies also do this high pitch noise too and it bothers me a lot. Most people can't hear it.

  • I never had problems with banking apps on GrapheneOS, 3 different apps, all work totally fine.

  • A Web browser is a complex piece of SW that needs to provide many, many, features and work with great performance. Therefore you need a large team of experienced developers (full-time and maybe volunteers) collaborating on the development and testing. This is cost in labor and infrastructures (servers, storage, internet connection, hosting of platforms, etc)

    One such feature that is a must-have is playing videos, from YouTube, Netflix, Prime, Twitch and what have you. Most widely spread video codecs are proprietary, you need a license to implement the decoder and these licenses are expensive. H.264 is one such codec, very widely spread across many content and platforms. You wouldn't want a web browser that lacks the ability to decode H.264 videos. There are many such codecs that are considered essential, and this cost a lot of money in total.

    In conclusion, this is an argument as why developing a web browser costs money and requires a sustainable financial plan, even though it is open-source and developed mostly by volunteers.

    My personal opinion: advertisement sucks. I don't want it anywhere in my life. I would prefer to pay upfront for my web browser if it come to this.

  • It's hard to pickup sarcasm through text. Also, people have all kinds of opinions out here.

  • I picked up SIGNALIS on sales yesterday. Its a game from 2022, made in graphics of early 3D PS1 style, played 4 hours, it's pretty good so far :)
