  • Last year it was “Look at those Chinese EV manufacturers increasing their sales by X-hundred %”, when in reality it was on the lower end compared to European EV’s increases and also from “no market share to still no market share worth mentioning”.

    Now it’s “Tesla registrations up by x-hundred %”… and the moment we get actual numbers and details it’s probably less than other cars and purely based on company registrations that got those shelf warmers really cheap.

    On one hand this constant media bullshit is annoying, but on the other hand it’s probably a very good sign how much work and money gets spend so the media constantly tells us those stories about what a failure European EVs (and sovereign European tech… and renewables in general… and… and…) are. You can basically smell the panic.

    But to not just rant about yet another idiotic story, here are some recent German EV marktshares:

    • Volkswagen 18.8%
    • BMW 9.5%
    • Skoda 9.3%
    • Audi 7.4%
    • Mercedes 6.4%
    • Seat 6.0%
    • Hyundai 4.6%
    • Ford 3.8%
    • Tesla 3.6%
    • Opel 3.4%
    • Mini 2.8%
    • Kia 2.8%
    • Renault 2.3%
    • Fiat 2.3%
    • BYD 2.0%

    Edit: formating…



  • ANC-Kopfhörer im Straßenverkehr sind gefährlich

    Der Satz sollte mit “…und deshalb verboten” weitergehen.

    Eine Klingel, die die Algorithmen derzeitiger Kopfhörer überlastet, ist zwar technisch interessant, aber ein Katz und Mausspiel zwischen dummem Müll, mit dem Leute sich selbst und andere gefährden und ausgeklügelter (und selbstverständlich optionaler) Technik, kann doch wohl nicht die Lösung sein.




  • Those at least started with Windows7 back then. I have a laptop here that still has that “Windows XP ready” sticker. And a PC from -as mentioned- pre-UEFI times with some hybrid system (basically BIOS with 64bit compatibility) that started originally with a classic MBR partitioned disk.

    But hey… that’s still nothing in terms of Linux support. Recent kernels still support (but are soon to drop) 486-architecture.




  • I don’t think there is a better “default” because the default has to be the general setting everyone can live with. But that of course also means it’s not particularly good for any use case.

    In general desktop users prefer lower values for snappy behavior when switching thorugh different apps (~10 often recommended). People mainly focusing on preformance of the primary running app prefer higher values (which may, depending on setup) include gamers.

    Also there is zram/zswap now (basically compressed swap in memory instead of on disk) which is faster than tradittional swap.

    But in the end you can only try out values and watch your systems behavior or run benchmarks to find the proper value for you personally,









  • Discord alternatives are complicated, because Discord is conceptual bullshit. It started as voice communication, yet became popular for the text communication.

    So you won’t find a good replacement (unless something new created in particular to mimic discord), because the things it now provides are better handled by seperate applications.

    PS: OBS should already work on it’s own, without a dedicated webserver on your side. Basically every media program (also browser) should be able to handle streams

    OBS’ WHIP (WebRTC-HTTP Ingestion) support should allow direct connection to web browsers.

    (I’ll will take a look at it when I’m home)
