I get better performance from the release version than from ESR. The ESR version in Debian has always been slower than the release version for me. Especially on YouTube.
Indeed. Never gave a second thought to the word but apparently it’s the name of a young male servant. The pronunciation ends with a nasal vowel as there is no trailing “e” at the end. In IPA that’s /ɡaʁ.sɔ̃/. If you say /ɡaʁ.ɔn/ it makes it sound female.
If I understand correctly, the alerts can be classified under the different categories listed in the options (amber, extreme threats, etc…) and those can be disabled. However there is a categry called “presidential alerts” and those cannot be disabled.
Lucky for me, my province just blankets everything under “presidential alerts” and so that’s why the sliders don’t do anything in my case. Like… they should, but because my province just sends everything as super mega extreme presidential alerts, the options are useless.
I tried disabling them on two phones using Android 11 and 13. I can slide the sliders to “off” but it doesn’t change anything. I also tried to disable them using adb. Alas even if everything is disabled, the phone still blasts the alarm.
Apparently those are mandatory and you’re not supposed to be able to disable them.
Bike touring on rail trails and quiet roads coupled with camping and visiting nature reserves and national parks.
I loved computers when I was a teenager and it became my work. I’m now working in IT.
I was fine with that for a while but because it’s now my work, I needed to find something else to escape, and be more active.
So I eventually started cycling “for fun” but now I have panniers, camping equipment, and lots of plans to go cycling and camping deep in nature.
By the way if you have rail trails and/or safe itineraries to suggest, that are somewhat long (over 80/100 km if possible), don’t hesitate to let me know.
My favourite here is 'Le p’tit train du Nord" which runs for 200 km, and I highly recommend it.
I started calling them by their first name when I thought I was old/adult enough not to say mom and dad anymore. My sister does the same.
But this has also been different from every side of our family. I speak a T-V language so we have formal and informal. My father and all his family were formal with their parents. And my mother was informal with her parents. In the end, I went in between. I use informal with my parents and call them by their names.
My bother in law noted that and brought it up. Apparently, it’s weird and disrespectful from his point of view. Yet, to me it’s quite normal.
How can a 16 years old teenager feel comfortable saying “mom and dad”? To me, ditching those terms meant that I was not a child anymore.
The multilingual emergency messages with the high pitched beeps on cruise ships.
I’ve never been on a cruise but I’ve seen a few videos and documentaries and always find this terrifying. You have nowhere to run to but a muster station. Like, you may drown while hearing a foreign language that you can’t understand but is somehow telling you to GFTO.
They are very different “vehicles”. The class which allows Ami to operate in most European countries does not exist in most North American jurisdictions. A Smart is classified as a car and is road legal but an Ami is considered a quadricycle and as such is usually not considered road legal in most of North America.
Where I live it’s not considered as any type of valid vehicle. If it sticks to quadricycle, the law is going to require pedals, limit it to 25 kph and a helmet for the passengers.
There are places in the US that have some “neighbourhood EV” laws that make these legal on local roads, but it’s far from being common.
So if you are successful in importing one, you will most likely only be able to use it on private land.
Also, no insurance company is going to want to insure it.
And, to top ot all, the dealer, Stellantis, is apparently much more interested in selling pick-ups to North Americans.
…don’t expect to get one through Canadian or USA Stellantis dealer networks. They are 100% obsessed on moving EV versions of Jeeps, RAM pick-ups, the new Airflow crossover and their ProMaster truck offerings.
I’m the one making the comment and you’re the one assuming I did something wrong because I was on a bicycle? Or is this “a lot” exaggerated and biaised?
Anyway the said rules where I live is that riding on sidewalks is illegal. Cyclists are not pedestrians and should not be mixed with them.
I was legally on a cycle path, had priority, there was no light. I was cut then slapped by the driver making an illegal move, and you’re first thought is to point out that “lots of bikers blow red lights”?! What?
There are some data centers that are water cooled though. I know OVH uses water cooling for some of its servers, and also seems to be developing immersion cooling.
