But maybe people would like a standalone device, without the distraction a regular smartphone brings.

I’m not defending this thing as AI in its current state is near useless, bar some niche applications. But the decision to make it a standalone device isn’t really controversial in my opinion.

I don’t know man, I loved YouTube back in the days when people made videos for shits and giggles. No one expected money from that.

You can use Revanced for example. Alphabet is trying to fuck that up too, but it’s still going strong. Plus, a revanced YouTube is a lot better than the regular app. Want to get rid of Shorts? Revanced will let you get rid of those shitty videos for good. Hate sponsor messages in Videos? Revanced will let you integrated sponsorblock.

The day that revanced won’t work anymore is the day I’ll stop using YouTube.

Given how terrible Teams performes, I’d dread to have merely 8GB to run it on.

Yet here I am, in Germany, seeing that many US citizens apparently care about the situation. This I might not have known without this article.

It’s about exposure. That’s why climate activists glue themselves to the streets here in Germany. Does it make sense? Not really. Do people know the cause they’re fighting for? Absolutely. That’s a good thing.

I believe you can simply leave it unregistered and it’ll still work indefinitely. Plus you aren’t getting updates forced down your throat, since you’re not connected to the internet.

The problem with “gas” is, that it’s a state of matter. Usually the word gas is used for natural gas that you’d use in a gas stove. Some vehicles are even upgraded with an actual gas tank, making it double confusing.

I think you mean Barcelona, right?

This may be true for the USA. In Germany the biggest killer is agriculture, followed by buildings, then cars and then come the cats. I’m guessing this is the reason for the controversy regarding this topic. Cats aren’t that big a problem in Germany. Especially if you have a programmable cat flap that leaves the cats inside during morning and evening times. During daytime they don’t catch shit.

This whole ordeal sounds like a classic reddit moment.

• can’t charge the phone when the USB port is in use
• can’t use the aux input of any external devices
• can’t use the headphones with anything else
• shitty experience as someone else here mentioned
• …

I like my Pixel 7 Pro but its also my first phone without a headphone jack and I hate it. Bluetooth is such a shitty standard and the USB dongles suck ass too. Why the fuck did they have to get rid of something so simple and practical…

Yeah, I hink its super useful too. But i usually use win+d.

I live in rural Germany. The only people with these trucks are the ones that never use the bed. In fact, I’ve recently seen one at the hardware store. The guy bought a shelf maybe 1.5 m long. Neither did it fit in the bed, nor did it fit in the cabin. Such a worthless piece of shit.

Everyone in the trade business uses vans. For heavy duty hauling they obviously use something bigger than a fucking pickup truck.

That out of the way, I see the appeal in smaller old-school trucks. They usually have larger beds than the ridiculously oversized pieces of shit that start sprouting in urban areas.

Hmm, now that you mention it, I think it was quite similar in Germany. But I personally don’t know many people who watched these shows. It was still quite a niche thing. But you’re right, they weren’t considered weebs. Probably because the Germans are so unaware of foreign cultures, most don’t even know what that means.

Absolutely. In Germany at least, anime is a very niche thing. Hardly anyone watches it here. I can’t stand anime because of the lazy animation, though I do appreciate the creativity story-wise.

The answer was already posted, my comment wasn’t meant to be helpful, just a little jab at a presumably German person who apparently has never seen one of the billion machines that you put your returnable bottles and cans into.

Brudi, you have a German username and you don’t know Tomra? You keeping all your bottles and cans stacked in your basement or what?
