Completely anecdotal: perhaps a large concentration of these flats are in East Germany, where the population tends to be older, the Soviet Union was known to build a large quantity of housing, perhaps there could be a confluence of modern tastes and as the article pointed out, little around to do, that cause people not to seek these properties out.

Nay, that would be "Plattenbau", meaning built(ge(bau)t) out of prefabbed concrete slabs(platte) and steel bars. Which btw. isn't that limited to former eastern Germany.

West Germany did that too, in so called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_city like:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fwohnsiedlung

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabantenstadt

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tannenbusch

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osdorfer_Born

The thing is, these were often badly insulated against sounds from the neighbors, also the neighbors often weren't particularly desirable, because badly educated and in general stupid people tend to agglomerate there. Because it is 'social' housing, mostly. Little around to do depends on what you'd want to do? Since they are often on the outskirts, you're faster in the nature, and maybe even better air in general, because the stink/smog of downtown isn't so intense there. If you'd like to take a bath in the unwashed masses, doing speciality shopping, dining, there is public transportation 24/7 with service at least every 20 minutes during the night, and 5 to 10 during the day. Taking you downtown in 20 minutes tops.

At least where I still own a condo which I rarely visit anymore.


I don't think the FTC prioritizes that right now

I don't think they've prioritized that ever in recent memory, or they would have already been broken up a long time ago.

I will also note that Safari is almost /too/ deeply integrated in the system, when I'm running a high-stress task elsewhere, my browser would jitter or hang, the same couldn't be said for chromium, for some reason.

GGs Shresht! Onwards and upwards!

I wonder if Geely will give them an offer given it owns Volvo, formerly their largest customer?

I wonder if Volvo cancellation had something to do with videos showing Lidar permanently burning cellphone cameras.

Could be, could also be a show of no-confidence when the founder jumped ship

Once proton(wine) upstreams more of their ARM compatibility layer, I'm sure this option could become more tempting as well..

thoughts? I could send the SVG as well. Not exactly cool but I thought it would be a nice homage (I acknowledge I relinquish the copyright to you etcetc) https://0x0.st/PrQf.png

I like it! What about also "XORing" 80 somewhere on the bottom part of Z letter?

Would you mind submitting a ticket "issue" with it please?: https://github.com/rejunity/z80-open-silicon/issues

PS: both PNG and SVG would be handy.


no prob!

I remember years ago there was an android-to-android cross platform video call standard that allowed a LG and I think it was htc phone to call each other. Do you think there's ever a chance that moves forward even though it took about 20 years for RCS in its most shoddy form to be adopted?

There's an errant thing at the back of my mind, I can't help but wonder if this ram shortage could revive the ram dimm as a concept as so many manufacturers were adopting the soldered-ram approach. I'm sure though this won't come to pass

Retail DIMMs are more expensive than soldered RAM so that just makes things worse.

The price difference in terms of manufacturing cost is immaterial. But if people can't afford a machine with 32GB anymore then they're going to suffer one with 8GB knowing from the outset that it's not enough and then have a strong preference for the ability to upgrade it later when prices come back down or they get more money.

Do most people know what the bottlenecks of their computing experience are?

Most people have access to the internet where you can ask people what they recommend if you don't know yourself.

all we need is keyboard input and audio output and we have (most of) flash back. I may have to look into this in my idle hours

The magic here is happening via the <script> tags, where you have access to the browser APIs like you would an <canvas> instead of <svg>. E.g. here's a sample I forked following the mouse using <svg> with <script> inside https://codepen.io/zamadatix/pen/emZXZKx?css-preprocessor=sc...

Libraries like three.js had SVG rendering as an option but it got deprecated as <canvas> with more direct GPU APIs was a lot more efficient and flexible.


JavaScript to catch keypress events and edit the SVG in situ maybe?
