Even if you somehow do - a lot of people who make the decisions in companies that use sales force won’t be swayed by some open source tool (not to mention it being vibe coded with questionable support). You get them by having a sales team that talks up the product while being charming/inviting them to some event/dinner.

You don’t need an image, and the one you picked makes your post look like an advertisement. You can edit your post to remove it.

It is a house in a texas suburb where he pissed off neighbours by building a massive fence and having security shift changes three times a day. So it does seem like he was using it for something at some point.

He bought it for 4.5 Mil though, so just buying another elsewhere won’t even register.

Even if it pops, a lot of memory manufacturers have retooled their production lines. It’ll take a while to actually get normal supplies back.

There is a current proposal by the Irish presidency of the EU commission that would allow a GDPR exception for anything relating to AI.

Hope it dies in parliament. But never forget that the rights that do exist in the EU are constantly under attack by lobby interests.

… why do you keep buying a product that is very clearly shit?

Amazon.de doesn’t have this, and I rarely use it anyway, but I took this as an opportunity to request all data they have on me. If you live in certain US stages (e.g. California), or successfully represent you do, you can probably do that too.

For me it’s usually webrings or reccomended sections on small websites, or just blogs citing other blogs.

The mirrorless lineup from manufacturers has a different mount than their dslrs.

I mean, you can write however you like. But it does kinda give the vibes of it being written like a click bait YouTube speaks.

It’s less any verbosity, and more that the sentence and post structures sound very ai. Not that you’d be the only person that just writes like that, but especially the concluding paragraph sounds exactly like something an LLM would output.

Some high end models of years and decades past had a fob with a little lcd display that acted as a remote for the heating and cooling.

I host several services accessible via the open Web. They are isolated enough that a breach would most likely only compromise that service. They are also kept up to date, and logs are monitored.

There’s always a risk when exposing something, and I am limiting some services to access via VPN because either the data in them is too sensitive, or I don’t trust them to be secure enough.

You probably also aren’t a worthwhile target in most cases.

Or, as honourably mentioned, OpenSuSE, specifically tumbleweed.

Yeah, it’s a lot to enable mobile payment. Personally, I just bought myself a nice wallet. Much less hassle.

Also, conditions will vary depending on which Sparkasse/Volksbank you look at (they’re all independent and might have very different fee and offer structures), but they’ll likely all have more fees than most large private banks.

The thing is, they have some good projects like these independent mobile payment apps, and are great for giving out loans to smaller, regional businesses, but as banks for private users, they definetely aren’t the best available.

Lol, can see that. But there’s been times I lugged around separate company and private laptops. Two phones is tame in comparison.

No.

Well, it really depends. Both aren’t one single big bank, but a lot of semi-connected local banks. They are huge disparities in what e.g. Sparkasse München and Sparkasse Hinterpfaffenhofen can offer. The bigger ones mostly have proper online services, but might require a letter for some stuff.

Regarding savings accounts - from what I’ve seen, most of the products they offered weren’t really competitive, and mostly relied on you not shopping around. Volksbanken, as a co-op, allow you to buy shares in the bank, which can have a pretty good return, but there is a relatively low limit on how many shares a single person can own, so no one can have outsized voting power.

So, bit of a mixed bag, really.

Also, all of them (I’ve seen) have a new account, and all their text output seems LLM generated, with them claiming it’s cause english isn’t their native language and they need LLMs to translate - on that note, that’s suspect to me, cause translating a human written text, at least with dedicated translation services, tends to retain a human structure. This feels more like they’re generating the whole message.

Doesn’t apply here, but some also had a story about “working in X trade for Y years”. It all feels very disingenuous, very much like marketing. I’d be surprised if even half of these projects are still around in two years time.

Rant over, just something that grinds my gears.

Here in Germany, it’s pretty much Sparkassen and Volksbanken. One are city/state owned, the others are pretty much a co-op.

This is pretty Germany specific. Heard from friends elsewhere they had some luck with local options, but don’t have a list Handy rn.

Makes sense. I always liked the symbolic act of shutting down my work issued phone when I didn’t need to be reachable, but I see the convenience here.
