Yes, but you'll usually have to make an appointment for that and especially in larger cities or communities this might take quite a time. So, yeah, 8% on the hand, waiting for weeks for an appointment on the other hand...
Most European countries (except France and the UK) are not interested in projecting power outside of a fairly narrow geographic area (mostly the European continent and adjacent seas).
These “military starlinks” will be much smaller systems than actual Starlink. The German one plans for 100 satellites.
> In Germany, the tax wedge for the average single worker decreased by 5 percentage points from 52.9% to 47.9% between 2000 and 2024. During the same period, the average tax wedge across the OECD decreased
by 1.3 percentage points from 36.2% to 34.9%.
They should've prepared themselves and their customers better before that happens - one tiny example: there is no anon payment option listed at the main payment flow and no warning that credit card. Or maybe there is some smart way of not having permanent access to the payment identifier, only during the time of payment?
Re. at the moment not sure, that depends on their jurisdiction, but that's another thing - why don't they explain what's possible and what and why they did/didn't do?
I agree that they should offer private and anonymous payment like monero and cash. They do talk about using a VPN and Tor to hide your IP but its kind of hidden in the footer.
If you don't put in heat pumps, nuclear reactors are one of the more expensive ways to heat a home.
If you do put in heat pumps, nuclear reactors are still one of the more expensive ways to heat a home, but you need a third as many of them as compared to the no-heat-pumps case, if you insist on heating only with nuclear power.
Nuclear power is really only important if you also want spicy atoms, because it's by far the cheapest source of spicy atoms. Annoyingly, this is now a thing a lot of countries have a solid reason to want.
Can you point me to said list? All I could find was:
> Mac models with M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, M2, and M3 support Studio Display XDR at up to 60Hz. All other Studio Display XDR features are supported.
And The Verge reports:
> There’s also support for adaptive sync that can adjust between 47Hz and 120Hz (if it’s connected to an M4 Mac or later, or the M5 iPad Pro)
I got an M3 Max and was strongly considering upgrading my old monitor, but if I can't do 120hz, I'll just wait until I upgrade my laptop as well.
It’s quite possible this is running with a reduced color space (chroma subsampling). Degradation happens automatically based on available throughput and most people don’t notice.
I had no idea what it was for the longest time. As it turns out, macOS frequently enables it even when it’s unnecessary, and without any way to override.
There’s no list per-se. The MacBook Pro (2021 and later) is listed as supported. The M3 Pro and M3 Max are not listed as only supporting 60Hz while the M3 and M1 Pro are.
It‘s also generational. My 18yo sister in law is now applying for colleges and the word “application” immediately made her look for an app. That the whole process happened on a (not mobile friendly) website was rather surprising to her.
I am 51. The amount of Ludditism on HN shouldn’t come as a surprise to me. But it does. Most older 70+ year old people I know don’t own a computer at all and would never use one. But they do know how to get to things they need on their phones.
It involves going in person to a court or to a notary public. Pretty high friction which, I believe, is largely intentional.
