You know that IRC has waaaaay less features, right?
Doesn't matter that much for Blu-rays since they're non-organic anyway. It mattered more for DVDs since they use organic dyes, but I couldn't find any M-Disc DVDs in Poland.
Which brand do you use? Not a single Verbatim has ever failed me, neither DVD nor Blu-ray. I also use a full-size burner with 12V SATA-USB adapter, not those stupid "slim" ones.
If I wanted to watch movies destroyed by compression, I'd go streaming. Blu-ray allows for way less compression. There's a reason Blu-ray remuxes aren't DVD-sized. Heck, some movies don't even fit on a single layer Blu-ray! Do you want to compress that to 4.7 GB? And that's only main title, without extras!
Ah, so that's what they use in a cremation chamber nowadays...
-f 140 is AAC, please don't do that. -f 251 is better since it's Opus, the best versatile lossy codec so far.
You take the exam on cars provided by either the examiner or your driving school.
The second option usually happens only if you wanna get an automatic-only car driving license (B78), like me. I had to pay my instructor for renting me his car for the exam's duration – standard practice, especially since it was his "daily" after working hours.
If you’re super lucky you get to take it on the car you used the most while learning
If you want to get the full driving license (B) and have no disabilities, you learn on a driving school's manual and take an exam on an examination center's manual. They're separate entities, so you never get the same physical car. At least the model should be the same – driving schools usually match their fleet with whichever model local examination center picked. E.g. in Warsaw it's Hyundai i20, so most (if not all) schools teach on Hyundai i20.
depends how cars get allocated
Like I've said before, examination center's cars are never used for teaching. That's driving school's job.
Is the last one an absolute requirement?
No, but it must match capacitive reader's performance.
I've just checked the 2023 version of Moto G Stylus and... IPS? Seriously, Motorola? Sorry, devil wears Prada and flagships wear AMOLED.
Oh, yeah. I forgot that G Stylus isn't supposed to be a flagship. Duh.
Thank you for suggesting something anyway. Guess I'll stick to the Note 9 and keep fixing it until the world dies.
it’s frequently 10 Fahrenheit or lower in the winter
Fair enough, we don't hit such temperatures regularly in Warsaw (Poland).
a literal freezing steering wheel
Is it that bad? Wow. Didn't know that. I though the cage would provide at least some thermal insulation.
hold on to it for 10 mins until the heat kicks on
If my colleagues lived in a climate as cold as yours, they'd have mounted parking heaters (e.g. Webasto) by now. Electrics struggle in cold, but they can preheat themselves before the ride, using just the electricity.
I’m assuming you live in a warm place
Warsaw is at the same latitude as Edmonton in Canada, so shouldn't be really that warmer.
or don’t drive a car
Winter 2022/23 was when we still were in our previous office. It was ½ hour long commute with my Xiaomi M365 electric scooter. This winter 2023/24 we moved to an office further away, so I was forced to change my daily vehicle to a motorcycle, maxiscooter SYM MaxSym 600i ABS. At least you have the goddamn cage.
Wish I had public transportation.
I miss having good alternative commute via metro and tram to our old office. Took almost the same time as e-scooter. But our new office? Public transit takes 2x as long as a motorcycle commute, according to Google Maps Timeline, so might as well not exist. So now we're in similar situation. Wish you luck...
Holy shit, it's like User Inyerface, but for stoves!
What do you need a touchscreen for? You just take an appropriate pump (E95, Diesel), fill the fuel and pay at the register.
wear gloves when driving
For example?
If it's so cold that you wear gloves, then get your AC fixed because it should've been running by the time you drive off.
Like if I didn't have any mess in my bookmarks as well...
Apart from that, a tab open means a task to do. I can bookmark an interesting tab only if I've "been there" already, e.g. if I've already read an article cover to cover.
A fully enclosed velomobile would probably do the job, but I don't think it's legal anywhere in Europe :(
I've got a hard nut to crack as well, my Note 9 is peak Samsung and I can't find a replacement that has stylus, 3.5 mm jack, microSD and capacitive fingerprint scanner (in-display ones suck, at least on A50 from my workplace).
My boss traded in a pixel 1
He probably didn't realize having Pixel 1 means unlimited lifetime Google Photos backup in original quality... I bought a 50-60$ used one just for that purpose.
Android should automatically clean these up afaik
NOOOOOOOOOO! DO NOT. EVEN. SUGGEST. THAT.
I've got hundreds of tabs opened, if Android cleaned them automatically it'd be like burning my own Library of Alexandria.
Intellectual "property" shouldn't exist. The property system was designed to solve the scarcity of physical goods. Information doesn't have this problem since it can be replicated forever as long as you have a medium to copy it to. That's why you can't own information. Once created, it lives its own life, whenever you like it or not.
SYM MaxSym 600i ABS, this 565cc maxi-scooter is the first to launch from a green light in cities and has nothing to be ashamed of on highways since it can do 160 kph with some spare power still remaining.
