Unfortunately it didn’t help that much. Thanks to the total incompetence of all mainstream parties in Germany, whose members usually just care about their personal income instead of Germany doing well, AFD managed finally to overtake all parties. I expect them to be in a coalition in one of the next two federal elections.

This one hits deep. One of my first more complicated projects was a driver for a device that counted a lot of values. Imagine an energy meter.

At the beginning I thought about writing code to create my own type since I was limited to uint32 as the biggest on board type. To spare some work I quickly decided to use a float type for the first time without thinking much about it (I usually use fixed point integers for everyday work)

Way into the project I thought about what happens, when the actual value is gigantic and I try to add a very small number. After thinking about it I realized that nothing happens. So my counter would stop working. I changed everything and never used a floating point number again in my life I 🤣

I am regularly in Kaiserslautern and seeing all the transport planes landing every couple of minutes has a huge gschmäckle

Imagine: You are the first human approaching the moon for a landing since 50+ years. Just a couple of seconds before touchdown the PC starts rebooting because an engineer clicked remind me later on earth and the PC registered that nobody moved the mouse or pressed a key for more than 3 nanoseconds so the user is surely AFK and has definitely nothing important going on so let’s close all open documents and reboot 🤷🏻‍♂️

Came to say this. There is a risk that they drown in the toilet because they will land head first inside of it if they expect the lid to be closed.

I can’t even imagine something so small being so dense that it weighs 6,2kg.

I am disappointed nobody mentioned that 42 is the perfect choice since it’s the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.

Come on, the good old times are over. I could use it immediately, the muscle memory still holds all the characters without thinking.

We now have to put in passwords with the arrow/ok buttons. On a sadistically designed keyboard that is ordered alphabetically instead of the classic QWERT… layout everybody is used to. What a time to be alive

Yes I’m looking at you Amazon!

Was the system good or had it other false promises? Infinitely sounds very unprofessional for me.

What happens when we used all the resources on our planet to scale the NAS? Did they have the technology back than, to harvest other planets or even other star systems? So many questions…
