Germany, progressive? Have you ever lived there? I’m amazed they even use web browsers enough to notice now, compared to their fax machines.

I’d learn Mandarin but it’s very hard.

I learnt Spanish and use it every day, it is easy.

Tears of the Kingdom is one of the best games ever made, shame they keep it exclusive though.

Yeah, the Pi moving to full computer thing is weird because the SD card is still a massive bottleneck on normal day-to-day usage.

Will you use a separate flight controller chip or try to do it all on board?

It’s been a while but I remember Orange Pi having terrible support? I haven’t heard of the others.

Whereas the RPi has the amazing compute module if you need it too.

Sometimes paying more is better.

Discord. I mostly post in an Ultima 7 modding community and helped out a bit but we also just talk about video games and stuff.

It’s hard to find the smaller servers where you can actually have a decent discussion though, just like IRC back in the day.

What are the better options?

Pis have great software support so for GPIO experimentation it’s so useful.

Ocarina of Time - it was mindblowing to have the open world at the time (I didn’t play Ultima 7 until much later) and the music is incredible.

Rainbow Six Vegas and Splinter Cell Blacklist and Chaos Theory were awesome for this - especially for 2 people.

If you have 4 then SWAT 4, Ready Or Not, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, ARMA 3.

Hard disagree, it lets me achieve more and avoid procrastination. It can help you not get caught up on small errors, and be like a junior colleague given you complete attention when you ask for different proposals, etc.

Slay The Spire - finally beat the heart.

At least they have it. It’s incredible to see videos of the FSD on highways, and Waymo robot taxis in the USA.

I wish we had technology in Europe.

Yeah, this is exactly the point of the “problem” OP complains about. Charge people for overproduction, so they’re encouraged to buy a home battery and contribute in the night.

Eventually home batteries will become a standard part of such installations.

Because they have to give that energy away in order to keep the grid stable.

Hopefully better battery storage will make this better in the future.

The aim with it is to naturally discourage people from overproducing in such overproduction times - e.g. maybe you disable your solar panels when you predict it will happen, lessening the sudden impact on the grid.

FWIW you could buy a high capacity home battery already to eliminate it yourself (charge the battery in those times), but they’re still expensive.

Yeah, had a drug dealer burgle our apartment (just an opportunistic thing, spare keys had been left outside by a friend who was moving). Fortunately no-one was in, but it sucked to have to deal with all the damage and security.

We eventually tracked them down when they sold some stuff though and they were actually arrested and we got a few things back.

It was awesome the police actually raided them. Unfortunately the new government released them as prisoners with “non-violent” offences.

The answer is nuclear power.

I learnt Spanish like this. Mainly finishing Duolingo and downloading some textbooks and doing a few MOOC courses and listening to slow podcasts, and then watching basic movies.

Once I got to the point I could watch movies and TV, I would watch a movie almost every single day.

It’s a lot of work, but to get to the point of speaking and listening it is necessary.

It took about 2 years in total - and then I started a job working in Spanish.

Just use Steam.

Then your bigger problem is using Windows…
