Where is this that the clock goes from 2 to 1? Here in Europe it always goes from 3 to 2 or from 2 to 3 when it goes in the other direction.
- Comment on What's going on with PHP? 2 weeks ago:
That’s the problem with PHP. It’s quite easy to build something that works. It’s quite another to build something that works and is secure, scales well, is maintainable, etc. The thing is that ‘it works’ is something that people see immediately. Those other things they only get to experience when it’s too late.
This is compounded by the fact that because it’s so easy it attracts a lot of inexperienced developers who don’t even consider things like security. Add to that that the language is full of footguns.
That’s not to say it’s impossible to build good apps in PHP, but that is despite the language, not because of it. It takes experience, knowledge and discipline to write something secure and maintainable in PHP. Something a lot of PHP users don’t have.

It’s a modular system of a downdraft extractor and induction or gas hobs. Scroll down.

Mine has knobs. It’s fucking great. It’s Bora professional 3.0
- Comment on I'm tired 2 weeks ago:
The deaths caused by COVID-19 were terrible, but the whole lockdown thing was awesome. One of the best periods of my life so far.
We should have a lockdown for a couple of months every few years just to give everyone some time to unwind and relax.
- Comment on You've Just Been Hit By The Front Burner Gang 2 weeks ago:
Mine has 4 large induction ‘burners’ that automatically adapt to the size of the pan. It also has physical knobs on the front of the cabinet so no touch-screen controls that suck and take up space, leaving more space for the burners. It’s frikkin awesome. I can fit 4 large pots on there no problem.
I used to have a 5 burner gas stove but you could only realistically fit 3 pots on there and that was if there was at least a small one so this is a huge upgrade.

How do you do a 90°C wash? Surely the tap water doesn’t get that hot.

They aren’t easier to maintain at all, the exact opposite is true. Most bicycle shops refuse to even service them because they are of such bad quality and the parts are not available. They are very unsafe (brakes failing, things like that).

You can access and replace the entire internal mechanism through the hole the wall plate for the flush buttons is mounted on.
- Comment on Capcom isn't worried about PlayStation and Nintendo shrinking the physical games market: "90% of our unit sales are digital" 2 months ago:
I don’t know about that. Physical discs always felt cheaper to me than digital games. People complain about digital games being ‘rented’ but for me a game on disc feels more like a rental (insert disc to prove you haven’t returned it yet), compared to digital which is permanently tied to your account.

Margins on digital games are much higher, even if those 10% don’t all switch to digital they will probably still make more of a profit.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 2 months ago:
It’s self-sustaining. They have convinced people that they don’t deserve access to resources unless they perform some meaningless demeaning labour. The job leaves them too exhausted and numb to question the status quo and do something about it. Yet, at the same time the 0.1% who is hoarding all the planet’s resources isn’t scanning any groceries to ‘deserve’ it.
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 2 months ago:
Jobs aren’t something to be preserved, that’s the wrong way of thinking about it. Jobs are a waste of everyone’s time. You’re not saving a job, you’re spending labour. The goal should be to eliminate all jobs.
The problem is the link between income and work, that should be eliminated.

Ownership versus no ownership? That’s what matters.
All software is licensed, there’s no true ownership regardless of medium.

Of course interent is faster than 200Mbit, it’s 2026. 1Gbit is standard and if you’re willing to pay a little extra you can get up to 8Gbit up/down.
Also, bandwidth caps? On residential internet? WTF.

Why don’t you switch to a faster plan then?

Except installing from disc is slower than downloading
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
People in different regions are able to pay different amounts for a video game. You don’t want to sell a game for €40 to someone willing to pay €80, you also don’t want to miss out on the €40 from someone who’s only willing to pay that amount.
This is also why there are artificial tiers, like an ‘ultimate edition’ and shit like that.
Same goes for things like internet speeds. A 1gbit connection is actually slightly cheaper to sell than a 100/100 connection, but they offer different price tiers to extract the maximum amount someone is willing to pay.

Also, downloading the game is like 4 times faster than installing from disc.
- Comment on It's not about physical vs digital games, it's about ownership 3 months ago:
I know I’m in what feels like a growing minority, but I will always pick up a physical copy if given a chance.
I bought a few physical games for my PS4 back in the day and I still regret it. I can still play all the digital games I bought back then but lost all physical games. No idea where they are. Digital games are linked to my account and impossible to misplace.

Why would you play a game a second time when you could he playing a new game instead?

I assume that by the time they are delisted you’ve already finished them? So why does it matter?
