I guess since most devices don't have removable batteries anymore, you'd be violating checked baggage regulations as they don't allow batteries. Not sure what the consequences would be, though.

I would say that this is not just to blame on the Generation, but to large extents of how stuff is designed these days. It has been becoming harder and harder to control where stuff is stored, and to find it outside of the intended app, and this, IMHO is by design, to wrestle the control of your own device from your hands. Just look at how aggressively Microsoft is pushing one drive in its office suite, they want control over those documents so they can lock you into a subscription model.

It is advanced access, however Firaxis did an announcement shortly after release, addressing the rocky release and promising to fix things, where they (accidentally) called it early access. It seems they changed that now, still, it was there (and was made fun of) in forums and other Lemmy like communities.

Wouldn't that be "hundreds of a thouseand"?

Civ 7 is Early Access (Firaxis called it like that themselves) and the founders edition is 130 bucks, so I guess this is becoming normalized...

Hey, I've been a shit human being to make a fortune in Hollywood, and now I made that fortune and can afford to be a nice human being, so I can talk shit about Hollywood.

What better way to demonstrate international simultaneous television broadcasting than with an annual song competition? It's quite literally the only reason why I turn on my telly anymore.

Oh, they are talking about ESC!

The only thing I hate about it is the fact that it can get quite political,

Awww, not really.

Seriously, ESC is the least political show on whole of television, they are trying to avoid anything controversial as much as they can, just look at how they handled that Dutch singer who fell from grace. There was zero discussion or mentioning, he was just cut from the show.

People on the Internet and people going to the box offices are very different demographics.

Classic narcissist trait. Complete and funnily honest bewilderment at how it is possible that some people don't love and admire then. My dad who is estranged from the whole family (because of that) was one level below the C suite at a huge corporation. Treated everyone like shit, surprised Pikachu face when one by one the family abandoned him. I guess it takes to be such a psychopath to make it that far on the corporate ladder.

Panem et circenses. It worked for thousands of years.

That's why I call my cat a guide cat. He guides me to lolll around on the couch for 22h a day

 

Moin zusammen,

habe (mehr aus Langeweile als aus irgendwas sonst) eine Kreditvergleich bei einem der Aggregatoren durchgespielt, und dabei tatsächlich ein Angebot von unter 1% für 30kEUR auf 2 Jahre bekommen. Auf meinem Tagesgeldkonto Krieg ich derzeit 3.25%. Jetzt könnte ich ja einfach die 30k vom Kredit da drauflegen, und dann einfach von dort die Raten bezahlen. Kurze excelei sagt mir, dass dann am Ende gute 800 EUR übrig bleiben, und ich habe da noch nichtmal eigenes Geld eingesetzt. Selbst wenn ich zwei Stunden mit dem Kreditantrag besxhäftigt wäre,. wäre das doch ein netter Stundenlohn... Da muss doch ein Haken sein? Im Grunde könnte man sowas ja auch mehrfach machen (allerdings wohl nur soweit, wie man fiktiv die Raten bedienen könnte), oder versaut man sich damit die Schufa?

Wo ist mein Denkfehler?
