He doesn't either, does he? But he's great in outlining how to get to the point of having enough idea to go through with his project.

Don't know much about corporate traffic usage, but at some cheap VPS place like Hetzner you get 20TB traffic per month included für less than 4€.

Seems like a lot of traffic to me, probably is next to nothing or would cost more.

And if you live with a toddler, even those have to exist and are necessary for becoming a healthy being. At least if they are met with understanding by the parents.

But that could be said about each an any dependency.

And some (very rare) companies do enforce that, everyone else has to build up a bit of trust.

Laws of UX 3 years ago

From the site itself:

1. All processes have a core of complexity that cannot be designed away and therefore must be assumed by either the system or the user.

2. Ensure as much as possible of the burden is lifted from users by dealing with inherent complexity during design and development.

3. Take care not to simplify interfaces to the point of abstraction.

You wouldn't believe how much tiktok helps at parenting, giving tiny bits of information every day to help with the problems you have with a newborn. To have you constantly updated on first-aid for newborns...

Same thing also goes for a ton of other topics, eg. woodworking.

Of course, you have to get into the right circles first, bit there is so much knowledge, easy to grasp, not much time or effort needed. But it takes a couple of days to get there.

All the time actually. I have monthly folders, automatically backed up by my phone to the NAS. Each month my wife and I sift through the photos and delete all duplicates and boring stuff and then we have around 150 photos per month that we sometime just have on as a slideshow.

Yearly, we create printed photo albums that we look at regularly and show to our kids.

But all this only works after lots and lots of hours of manual work filtering the photos.

Still, over the last 15 years or so for two people we have way more than 100k photos stored on the NAS.

PhpBB 3.3.10 3 years ago

WoltLab Burning Board was the one big German counterpart to PhpBB, quite popular in Germany at the time.

Not really a problem one would be aware of. Double glazing is the default since 50 years at least in Germany, so the manufacturing processes are quite good.

Still, leakages happen, you recognize that usually by water/steam between the two glass panes. If the windows aren't to old you can just switch out the glass leaving the plastic frames. If they're older (30 yrs) it's more economical to switch out glass and frames.

In this case (it's was couple of years ago) it was a beta release by the manufacturer.

Thing is, to me as an end user it doesn't matter who's at fault, if it doesn't work it doesn't work and I'm only so motivated to investigate something (functionality wise) basic not working while on Windows all the basics run fine but the advanced stuff creates problems. With Linux on desktop I never arrived at the advanced stuff giving up at (some of) the basic stuff not working out of the box.

But I fully understand, from a technical standpoint drivers and daisy chained display probably aren't basic and Windows has hidden als the complexity from me for the last 20 years.

My computer ran well with Linux with one display after instaing Linux. Then I tried to use a second, daisy chained, Displayport display. And the mess began. Confusing tips on forums, confusing and experimental drivers to install... And so on. Didn't manage to get it running.

But you can just use the same syntax as LaTeX. Or a simplified version. Or use the GUI. It really isn't as bad as it seems at first glance.

Is it any different than Photoshop content aware fill? Or using a camera?

Nobody would ever think about Adobe or Nikon having copyright claims over your pictures. For me it's just a tool, the artistic part is providing a good description/base image, refining and choosing the best output.

Anyway, I'm not a lawyer and we probably live in different countries, so it'll be interesting to wait for the first lawsuit.

Samsung has a repair bus that come to your home or workplace and fixes the battery or anything else workout you having to drive into the city to a store or not having access for multiple days. (At least in Germany)
