Ugh, might be a EU region lock thing. I hate that type of restriction, especially for a global sports Event. The organizers or media have been going after every shred of shared media from the ceremony. It's ridiculous, do you want to promote you event or not?

Sorry for the rant, but these antiquated copyright behaviors make me angry.

Clearly thou ART not like the French.

That wasn't just cool, it was badass! You can rewatch it here: https://youtu.be/cJowjYixfEs

I've been using Backblaze long before it showed up in YouTube ads. It's a great product.

Fun fact: "Mordhau" literally translates to "murder hit".

Sorry I don't. I only have the HDMI card.

Does the Index really need full DP or does it work via USB-C? Because in the end all those expansion cards are just USB-C accessories. I'm asking because we own a Quest2 and use it with USB-C and my desktop PC. Haven't tried it with my Laptop.

I have the 13" AMD one. Only reason I still have Windows on it is because I can't get Davinci Resolve to run under Ubuntu. Otherwise very happy with my purchase.

Had this exact thing happen to me. Luckily my Framework laptop's BIOS allows me to pick the EFI boot order and I set it back to the Linux Boot loader.

Nope, Austria. I can imagine they have the same problem in Amsterdam as we have here in Vienna.

No, no and no. In our country, there's a loophole in traffic regulation allowing for anything under 25kph on bike paths if it's electric powered. This resulted in a super dangerous situation for normal cyclists. I commute by normal bike and believe my it's terrible:

  • food delivery guys switched to electric scooters (think Vespa) and clog bike paths. These things are way too heavy in case of a collision with a pedestrian or cyclist.
  • the 25kph speed limit is not observed! Either the manufacturers don't care or the drivers tweak their rides.
  • the acceleration is way too sudden. Even a regular E-Bike needs to ramp up to speed. And you see when the driver engages his drivetrain by way of them moving their legs. With a throttle you just have a lump of mass that suddenly jumps forward. Super unpredictable.

So now we basically have way too big, way too heavy and way too quick objects on bike paths endangering everyone else.

There needs to be strict mass limits for vehicles allowed on bicycle paths. There need to be acceleration limits. There need to be mandatory checks for pedal-less ebikes. If a bike from a manufacturer is found that can exceed the speed limit, there need to be existentially threatening fines. Because their products are threatening lives!

This. When I got my CPR training, the consensus was: if you hear or feal something crack, don't stop. Messing up is better than doing nothing.

Except for the unicorn, your last paragraph is my reality. Oh and it's five weeks vacation, actually. My wife even has six. Sick days not included. Those are all part of the universal health care we have.

38h work week btw. Rarely overtime.
