Cosmic explosion will be visible to the naked eye in once-in-a-lifetime stargazing event
  • That is crazy. And some stars are probably exploding right now and it will only be visible by our descendants in a few thousands of years. They will look like at it wondering how it was to live in our times.

  • I didn’t play any Zelda since Ocarina of Time which I loved. I was expecting to have the same feeling in BOTW but I just can’t get into it.

    After a few time into it I feel lost. I know that I have to go to some dungeon in the mountains but I just can’t because the character is freezing to death. I cannot afford spending hours randomly exploring the map, relying on luck to discover which mechanic protects agains the cold. There is no guidance except for the fact that there is a dungeon to explore.

    I looted a nice sword but after very few encounters it broke in the middle of a fight. Weapons being so fragile just do not make sense, maybe some people appreciate that but knowing that whatever looted is going to be destroyed just make me want to stop playing.

    If anyone felt the same, did it click at some point into the game ?

    I love this dog. Medium to high energy, a bit stubborn, but smart and playful. Loves kids.

    How did Australia’s university system get so broken? Pretty much the same way as everything else
  • It was in 2007 for me, I remember one year of university fees costed like 2/3 of one month of my mother salary (secretary in the public sector).

    With my studies I got decents jobs.

    Canon is getting away with printers that won’t scan sans ink — but HP might pay
  • Brother was good but I’m disappointed by the last units I had. After 4 years of light home usage (one page here and there), they are not picking up paper in the tray. Same for some relatives which bought similar units. Feels like scheduled obsolescence …

    Is charging electric car at holiday house "theft"?
  • IMO the electric oven is an appliance of the house, can be used at your better convenience. But the consumption of your car, was it by fuel or by electricity by charging a 80 - 100 kWh car battery, should not be supported by the property owner.

    And you are comparing a phone battery with a car battery, I get that on paper it looks like that same but obviously this is messed up comparison. Sounds like comparing filling water for pasta cooking and filling a 40k L swimming pool…

    In the end, the answer will be that renting prices will increase to support the extra electricity cost. And those not having an electric car will pay more for nothing more.

    Memmy is REALLY buggy since 0.4.0
  • Hi fellow, you’re actually pretty rude. Even your « I apology » comment is not an apology at all.

    As an IOS dev, swift engineer, major critic bla bla bla, you should know that there are more constructive ways of providing feedback.

  • Regular sailboats have very low fuel consumption. Like 30HP motors used only when not possible to put the sails. Here it is not a sailboat, this is a luxury appartement on water. The carbon footprint will never be neutralized.

    Hundreds of millions in UK aid returns to Treasury in VAT on asylum hotel bills
  • Can someone ELI5 ? VAT collected by companies including hotels has to be paid to the government. Here the government pays the invoices VAT included. Isn’t this operation neutral ? Since this seems to be a big issue, I guess not. What am I missing ?

    People Hire Phone Bots to Torture Telemarketers
  • I asked Bing GPT4 how I can do that on iPhone. Here is the answer :

    There are some apps and services that claim to use AI to answer telemarketers calls on your iPhone. One of them is Jolly Roger Telephone, which uses ChatGPT and voice cloning to create and read scripts to telemarketers, acting as digital, fictitious characters that keep scammers on the line¹². You can subscribe to this service for $24.99 a year and access the accompanying apps to view, listen, and share recorded calls between the bot and the frustrated telemarketer¹. Another app is Call Control, which features smart block technology to automatically block calls from millions of spammers, telemarketers and robocallers³. You can download this app for free from the App Store³. I hope this helps you deal with pesky telemarketers.😉

    Anyone tried ?

  • When I saw the first STIB - MIVB portals a few years ago, I was thinking they wouldn’t last long due to how agressive they are. Although being an honest commuter paying all my trips, I have been almost sliced in two by them multiple times (without injuries except for my self esteem ). but those doors slamming into elderly persons could send them to the hospital.

    And now we even have to scan to get out of some stations, this is generating extra delay during peak hours, sometimes there are only two lanes for a whole fucking metro… Everyone having to scan, not everyone is ready to scan, sometimes the scanning does not work for a single person which adds another extra delay… There is no way to have a soooth exit flow.

    If we want to reduce the number of cars in Brussels we need to find better solutions…
