in-class bathroom that you can hear through from the regular classroom…? wtf?

is this a regular occurrence in burgerland?

Nice find, thanks for sharing.

For Macs (only Macs, I believe), there is StopTheMadness, which, uh well, stops the madness (test page here for some examples it can re-enable).

JS doesn't have any standards

ECMAScript would like to have a word with you.

If however by “doesn’t have any standards” you meant it’s willing to sink to new low grounds every day, you would be correct.

Yeah, we could tell

Und ich habe mir den Kommentar zur geschätzten durchschnittlichen Haarlänge der Metalheads extra noch verkniffen…

Spät, aber: Das ist auch leider überhaupt nicht, also wirklich null, barrierefrei.

Das nimmt der Staat mit solchen Aktionen aber einfach hin. Ordentlich zensieren ließe sich ein PDF schon, aber dann müssten Mitarbeitende ja ein Mindestmaß an digitalem Handwerkszeug beherrschen.

Rock, Punk, und Metal, aber weder Hip-Hop/Rap noch R&B/Soul oder Jazz?

Ich behaupte, da gab es einen nicht ganz zentrierten Weltblick bei den Ersteller*n…

Bitte gerne nachbessern, für diese oder spätestens die nächste Edition. Müssen ja nicht alle von meinen genannten Genres mit drauf, aber dann dürfen die ersten drei auch zu Oberbegriff „Rock” o.ä. zusammengeschrumpft werden.

Those were talking since purchase, which was further out than last year I think

Most “browsers” being marketed out there are based off of Google’s Chromium project. They are effectively re-skins of it (simplifying a little). Examples include Brave, Vivaldi, Opera I believe.

Firefox is completely separate and independent from this ecosystem (which is also why there’s a separate extension store for Firefox).

The third and last major (>a couple % market share) engine is WebKit, which is the basis of Apple’s Safari.

There’s tons of cool stuff out there, but it’s either niche (platform/use case), unstable to use, and/or both. Examples: Servo, Ladybird, Orion

To sum it up, if you’re a normal, average user:

• If you have exclusively Apple devices, probably try Safari (for the synchronization & battery efficiency)
• If not, Firefox!
• If you need it because of some really messed up development/compatibility issues, the last resort is ungoogled/de-googled Chromium

While on the topic, here’s some cool browser extensions:

• uBlock Origin

• Consent-O-Matic (auto-deny cookie banners)

• StopTheMadness / StopTheMadness Pro (macOS only)

• Bitwarden or the browser extension of another, different password manager you (hopefully) already use

• YouTube-specific extensions, if you use the platform

  • SponsorBlock for YouTube (Firefox link)
  • Stop AutoPlay Next for YouTube (Firefox link)

• (optional) Privacy-heavy focus. Caution: Having these extensions may lead to some sites breaking – they are not necessary for most people.

  • Privacy Badger
  • CanvasBlocker (Firefox)
  • Cookie AutoDelete (Firefox)
  • AdNauseam advertisement & tracking blocker/obfuscator – if you use decide to use this, probably deactivate the others including uBlock Origin

• (optional) Dark Reader

Edit: fixed a link

Stimmt, wobei das eher bzw. aucht damit zu tun hat dass Zeiteinheiten nicht in der Zehnerpotenz liegen. Auch nett ist:

Für Milliardäre sind Millionäre nur ein Rundungsfehler im Vergleich zu den Leuten mit 1.000€.

Mit 1.000€ ist man vom Millionär so weit weg wie der Millionär vom Milliardär. (Mal außenvorgelassen, dass solche Summen nicht in Cash gehalten werden.)

Es gibt wenig gute Gründe gegen eine 90%-Steuer über 1 Mrd. € Vermögen. Und selbst das ist noch zu gutmütig angesetzt, aber Normalos werden trotzdem dagegen sein, denn „das könnte ja eines Tages ich sein, und dann wär‘ ich schlecht dran.”

TL;DR: Depends on what you mean.

Long version:

Disclaimer: I’m not an expert by any means, I haven’t vetted the links properly (or at all), they’re mostly there for illustration and if you want to read further. Also, the last time I actually read up on this is quite some years ago, so stuff may have changed in the industry and/or my memory on specifics is foggy. Many of the links lead to Tesla sources since I first looked into this topic back before Musk made it known to the public that he’s an insufferable human being.

Batteries are usually structurally integrated into the chassis with modern EVs, since that means space (and often small weight) savings, and is easier/faster to do in manufacturing.

With that knowledge, it is safe to assume that replacing a car’s battery is a difficult or next to impossible task, outside of end-of-life reuse.

But this is actually where it gets interesting, since EV batteries last many years anyways: What happens when the car’s time has come?

Well… the batteries can be reused. It’s not a trivial process, there’s several ways to do it, but the best intuitive explanation I’ve found is this: In raw ore, lithium and other metals are present at maybe 0.1 or 1%, per tonne of material. In batteries, it’s maybe 99% of reusable, expensive material. Even if you let it be 90 due to inefficiencies in recovery, or whatever, it’ll still make way more sense financially to work with old batteries – once you have the process figured out and automated machinery to get it done in place.

All that is assuming total destruction of the existing cells, which, depending on their state, may not even be necessary at all. In fact, it looks like all of that may not be needed for as much as >80% of batteries. Wow!

And we all know the best way to ensure companies are doing something is if the financial aspect aligns with their goals. It’s in their best self-interest to be able to and actually do this.

So: Replaceability per car – eh, doesn’t look to great. Replaceability across the industry? Perfect.
