Hundreds of Hezbollah members hurt and some killed after pagers explode
  • Crazy, that tactic sounds straight out of a science fiction novel - 80s science-fiction, given it's pagers, but still... I really wonder how they pulled it off. Did the IDF design the explosive pagers in the first place or did they find some insane hardware/software flaw that allowed that kind of remote explosion?

    Wie kann die Politik verlorenes Vertrauen zurückgewinnen?
  • Schritt 1 wäre konsistent für die eigenen Prinzipien einzustehen und nicht zu versuchen, mit reaktionär-populistischem Handeln die AfD Wähler abzuholen. Das Handeln der Bundesregierung seit der Attacke in Solingen mit Grenzschließungen usw ist mehr als enttäuschend. Habe lange auch gute Aspekte in der Ampelregierung gesehen aber seit den letzten Wochen bin ich auch nur noch enttäuscht und desillusioniert.

    Humble Rhythm VR Bundle $15
  • Great bundle, but not worth it for me as I already own 5 of those games. I highly recommend Ragnarock and Pistol Whip. Spin Rhythm XD is great as well, but only really in 2D as the VR mode is very meh.

    Gerichtsurteil: Eltern töten ihre behinderte Tochter
  • Finde ich falsch.

    Das Urteil oder die Tat an sich?

    Mir fällt gerade ein das das nichtmal in dje Zuständigkeit Deutscher Gerichte fallen dürfte.

    Korrekt, war ja auch ein Schweizer Gericht.

    Historical regions of Europe [beta version]
  • Interesting map, but at least for Germany, it's quite an odd mix of current-day cultural regions, historic cultural regions from various times and historic administrative regions. It's really all over the place. I'm not sure the person who made this has any proper definition on what makes up a "historical region".

    98% OFF on The Crew™ 2 (2018) on Steam: 1€/$. [Ubisoft needs money quickly!]
  • so… I take the multiplayer parts are going to be going away soon-ish, as offline mode is incoming and 1€ pricetag atm? Is this a last squeeze for the game?

    Maybe, but it's worth noting that Ubi gave away the Crew 1 for free back in 2016, 7 years before it shut down. So I wouldn't necessarily take this sale as an indication of a shutdown coming soon (though it definitely could happen).

    Das E-Auto ist nicht schuld daran, dass VW in der Krise steckt
  • Als ID.3-Fahrer kann ich sagen, dass VWs Elektroautos toll sein könnten wenn sie bessere Software und Bedienung hätten. Das Auto ist sehr wendig und fährt sich sehr gut, aber ich bekomme die Krise sobald ich irgendwas an den Bedienfeldern die nur aus Touchflächen und Touchscreen bestehen einstellen muss. Die Versorgung mit Updates ist extrem langsam und schon 2 mal musste ich für Updates das Auto mehrere Tage lang an den Autohändler zurückgeben. Andere Hersteller haben inzwischen größtenteils gemerkt dass physische Bedienelemente besser und sicherer sind, aber VW nicht. Deshalb wird das nächste Auto eher ein Koreaner.

    ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ Season 2 Review: TV’s Most Expensive Series Remains Stunningly Boring
  • My unpopular internet opinion is that RoP Season 1 was actually pretty good, so if they stay on that path with season 2 I have little to complain about.

    "An unsettling number of folks break into song" is a weird criticism for a Tolkien-based series. If anything, that was something the LOTR movies lacked.

    Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 25th
  • I've been playing the new Guild Wars 2 expansion "Janthir Wilds". Very enjoyable, with a nice setting and soundtrack.

    I've bought Spin Rhythm XD on the recent Steam Sale. Quite a nice rhythm game, with excellent native Steam Deck support.

    I've also been giving Deadlock a go. So far hasn't really clicked for me though. Doesn't help that I'm not a big MOBA player, the only one I've enjoyed so far is Heroes of the Storm.

    Who even watches channels like 8 Passengers and DaddyOFive?
  • I don't actually know, but in my mind the audience most likely to watch those cruel "pranks" and find them funny are kids or teenagers themselves.

    It genuinely upsets me that Valve spent their time and resources on another Dota variation
  • I'd love to get another singleplayer game as well, but I've accepted that Valve is just unpredictable. I'm sure they haven't given up on Singleplayer and we'll get another singleplayer game... at some point. Their previous game was the fantastic Half-life Alyx after all.

  • Also games and console collecting for me. Just not fun with today's prices. I guess on the upside my collection is now worth way more than what I paid for it. Not that I'm planning to sell.

    About 500,000 trees cut down at site of Tesla gigafactory near Berlin
  • Meh, it's a monocultural wood farm not some kind of untouched nature reserve. Tesla also has to replant trees in a different location. Lots of legitimate things to criticize about Tesla, but this is barely worth mentioning.

    How do I convince an AI apologist?
  • Sometimes it's okay to just disagree. With a topic like AI, the effectiveness of arguments against it will vary heavily depending on one's subjective opinion on things like intellectual property, what is and isn't art, how we should deal with emerging technologies etc.

    Do cartoon characters see each other in the art style or “realistically”?
  • In Star Trek SNW's crossover episode with Lower Decks (cartoon), Boimler's first comment when he meets the crew from SNW is that they look "very realistic"

  • I'm currently waiting for all the components for my PC upgrade to arrive. Got the motherboard today and immediately upon opening, I noticed that the CMOS battery was not in its slot but just kind of next to it loose on top of the board. The slot seems fine, it seems to fit securely in there. No scratches on the board either. But now I'm a bit worried - could the battery have shorted something on the motherboard? It holds a charge after all. What do you think - should I return it for a new one untested or are the chances of the battery harming anything so miniscule that I should just go for it and use it in my build?

    The Steam Deck's multitouch screen might be its most underutilised feature. Until recently, I wasn't even sure whether devs could use it for anything more than simple mouse emulation. But I've just started playing "Sky: Children of the Light" on my Deck (which is generally a great experience on Deck, especially on the OLED with 90Hz HDR) and I found that when using a musical instrument, you can actually use the touchscreen to play up to 10 notes at the same time.

    This got me curious: Do you know if there are any other games on Deck using multitouch, or is Sky the first one that does it?

    arstechnica.com YouTube’s ad blocker problems are just an AdBlock Plus bug

    Latest consensus is that YouTube performance issues seem to be Adblock Plus' fault.

    That would explain why I didn't have any problems with Youtube and uBlock Origin.

    I've noticed that Pawb no longer seems to receive any new posts from any feddit.de communities. For example, if I view the "DACH" community through Pawb, the latest post is from 7 days ago, while on feddit itself, there were many posts in the last 7 days. Both instances still seem to be federated and aren't on each other's blocklists. Any idea what is happening here?

    Hi everyone! I've noticed for a while now that I can't reply to comments made by kbin accounts using my account here. Not even talking about kbin threads, but for example if I reply to any kbin-made comment over on feddit.de, once I click submit it just keeps spinning without ever posting the reply. I often see users from other lemmy instances replying to them though, so it doesn't seem like a general lemmy problem. Does everyone else here have this problem as well?
