- Comment on I bought a schuko plug adapter. They didn't read specs or even tried it: the diameter of the hole is too small! 5 hours ago:
The adapter has the earth, is the middle pin and also has the side contacts that would touch the earth on the side of the schuko (here just for aesthetics because the schuko pins can’t fit)

Yes basically every European country and Swiss has its own plug standard

Yes but the electrical code allows this kind of converter if there’s a label like “1500W max” because most manufacturers are lazy and don’t ship a cable for the Italian market, they give the cable for the German market. So you have stuff like:
- Computer cables
- Laptop chargers
- Televisions
- Modern fridges
That consume like 2-3 A at max but for the manufacturer it was cheaper to ship the German 16A plug and fuck with all the Italians that have the houses with 10A receptacles

Even on sale they are extremely expensive.
Do first party games like the Mario ones ever go on sale?
A few years ago I went to the Nintendo NY store/museum and I chuckled when a mom asked the clerk “excuse do you have something on sale?” And she got “no madam here we do not do sales”

I think that for now Nintendo Sony and Microsoft are keeping old stores accessible even if it costs them because they calculated the negative PR would cost them more (people wouldn’t hoard digital licenses for titles that don’t have time to play if they knew there’s a potential to be removed from their account before first install)
Ubisoft instead had no problems in removing titles from the Uplay accounts, instead

I assumed this was memeing the fact that they removed access to movies that people legitimately purchased without a refund, then saw the news that killed physical games…

Wow in this thread I don’t know a single game
Let me try with this game that I bought a decade ago for 1€: Pizza Express - very nice chiptune music that matches the gameplay that is a mix between a visual novel and a simulation

100gb from a single app is ridiculous, it doesn’t have a feature to delete old stuff? And in messages it doesn’t re encode videos to a lower res instead of just sending a 4k 25mbit/s video?

In the current economy people would buy the $100 game preinstalled on the SSD, then format the drive to use it with something else

On PC the majority of “physical” games is just a steam code in a cheap plastic box. One of the reasons no retailers are selling PC games

The problem is that everyone assumes you have WhatsApp.
You take clothes to the laundry? The “your order is done” notification is sent via WhatsApp
Any kind of work stuff is also on WhatsApp
You order food delivery? WhatsApp
Amazon started to send delivery notifications via WhatsApp instead of email/sms
And luckily meta is charging businesses 5 cents for messages via API or otherwise even otp codes would be via whatsapp
At least here, being reachable only on signal means being a digital exile

Because in my country historically the telecom companies are charging 0.30€ per SMS (text) and 2€ per MMS (text with photo).
So WhatsApp when they launched with their “1€/lifetime” offer on the iPhone 3GS they were the right app at the right time and became the de facto replacement for any kind of messaging. It’s insane how basically overnight they replaced msn messenger and Skype because it was so convenient (Microsoft never did a smartphone client for msn messenger, only unofficial ones. It was available on dumbphones but it used SMS from the plan to send/receive, nobody used it because you needed to be a millionaire to afford it)
SMS now in my country is only for receiving OTP codes, for the rest is WhatsApp, because still in 2026 the telecoms are still charging 2€ for each MMS sent and nobody wants to risk huge bills. This includes iMessage because if a chat suddenly goes green and you didn’t notice, it costs dozens of euro

- Comment on Why? 2 weeks ago:
i saw many that use the email as “convenience”, as the user can later login with a magic link (i hate those!) without the oauth or even using another oauth service linked to the same email
- Comment on Why? 2 weeks ago:
But most oauth implementations use the user email as identifier so they get the email anyway
- Comment on [serious] 4 weeks ago:
Most of those trillions are unrealized gains based on completely unrealistic valuation in “trust me bro” style
Like Tesla being worth more than all the western car manufacturers combined or xai being “worth” billions even if it’s losing billions every year.
The second he dumps those stocks, the house of cards would crash almost immediately

- Comment on Do you think defense attorneys who defend cops who unjustly killed people are ‘good’ people? 1 month ago:
I think most attorneys have no morals, otherwise nobody would defend billionaires who killed people in a DUI, serial killers with irrefutable evidence, pedophiles with their name written millions of times in evidence seized to a pedophile ring leader, and so on.
