Just wait for something else that dominates the news and do it then, so nobody will notice. Very old trick.

If it would not affect the life of so many people, I would enjoy seeing the country fall apart. Now I just feel sorry for all the poor bastards that have to live there.

I do suspect immigration won't be an issue in a couple of years, because nobody wants to live there anymore. So that's something to look out for.

Just the other day, I read an article about how much cases they are able to solve because of the footage. That is a good thing in my opinion.

The police also will ask for the footage, but you don't have to give it. It's entirely up to you if you want to do so.

Even so, I prefer not to be filmed at random by people's door bells, thank you very much.

They make a point, but on the other hand you can do other stuff with your phone too.

It's also on yourself to realize that you can be affected by it, or the propaganda you're fed. So take appropriate bites and select your feeds carefully on social media. Or even better, stay off it.

The world has always been burning and wars have always been raging. It's just that companies found out that negative news that touches people on an emotional level are good for profit. The more engagement it creates, the more money they make.

They make money on you feeling miserabele. So don't let it affect you. Put the phone down and go outside for a walk, find some nature, go see your friends. Or play a game or whatever.

I'd like to add some strength too. I don't give a shit about the latest AI fuzzy on any phone, but if it would please last at least a year without cracking the screen or the back that would be amazing. And a record for me. Doesn't have to be razor thin either. Just make it beefy.

Netflix has stopped being a product I am interested in a long time ago.

When they started out, they had a lot of stuff. These days, you'll have to subscribe to 5 or 6 services to watch a lot. And every service makes their own shitty shows to attract more customers. And 99% of them suck, with the occasional succes.

Right now, Netflix is too expensive for what they offer. But clearly they think they can get away with raising proces, so I guess most people think it is worth it or simply don't care.

I've once had a user who managed to add a second keyboard layout by accident and switch to it on login. I found out when I reset his password and it still didn't work on the laptop of the users even if I typed it in myself.

The answer is probably you.

Don't worry, they generally don't drive for long until they break anyway ...

I was outside on concrete with grass on the side of it and forgot to put the hand brake in. I step off, just to see the truck roll into the grass with the back wheel. Luckily the concrete the truck was on was high enough to stop the truck when one wheel was on the grass.

The truck was stuck now. Driving forward didn't work, pulling did not work. In the end we pushed a piece of pipe under it with hammers on both sides and that was enough to lift the back of the truck high enough that I could drive it forward again.

Still sucked though. I never forgot the hand brake again. Also did not get fired, that is never really an option for employers here.

That is a really good one. Because you can't stop it, but a comfortable temperature is always comfortable.

Pffft. If you only start debugging after so many lines, you're asking for it. Always test small parts as much as possible.
