Yeah they can fuck right off with that.

Paywalled, anyone got an archived link?

"AI husband". WTF. It's good those people get a well needed reality check... Seems like 5.0 is fixing some of its predecessor's shortcomings.

I do that regularly, with internal storage of 512 GB and higher, write speed to external devices is not unimportant at the very least.

Though with wifi 6 and higher you can get a decent throughput via ftp as well.

Maybe you could share which exact ones you need?

I used to access them through my university and they came in some proprietary Adobe DRM format that I couldn't open without a university account, with copy & paste blocked and all that.

Was fairly straightforward to take screenshots though and run them through a simple OCR program.

Library Genesis has quite a few ISO standards.

And using Google, Bing and Yandex with the parameter "filetype:pdf" is also surprisingly effective.

I haven't tried searching for any Australian standards, but maybe that's a starting point?

He already publicly apologized for hitting his ex while high on coke, so he can't deny everything.

Other people on the show earn a salary as well, they might pay guests a participation fee, and there's also opportunity cost to consider if an alternative show has a potential to generate higher (ad-)revenue.

Still sounds unlikely.

That's a British police uniform, standard issue.

Embrace who you are, as cheesy as it sounds, and turn your quirks into advantages.

Going bald? Who cares, I started balding from 19 years old, and at 21 I had a sizeable spot at the back of my skull that I could touch with one finger without brushing against surrounding hair. Figured I'd rather be bald than looking like a haggard whimp, shaved it the same day and never went back. I'm in my 40s now.

Heavy lifting/physical work: Pumping iron isn't the only way to get a defined and conventionally attractive physique. Look into exercises to build core strength and arm muscles through calisthenics, yoga, plank holds and the likes. Work with a trainer who can give you proper guidance.

Relationships: Not every relationship is built on love. There are transactional relationships just as well, which might be frowned upon in public, but depending on the source, 30-50% of men engage in them regardless. Might work wonders for your self esteem. Of course if you choose to do so, have your local legislation in mind, travel might be required.

As for generally embracing and grounding yourself, guided meditations are pretty neat. Sometimes offered through yoga centers (it's a good combination in general and a relaxing hobby that still works on your physical limitations). I probably wouldn't do either online, having a person to guide you along for the first few times is quite important. You might also run into like minded people there, which can help to foster relationships (looking at platonic here first and foremost, an active friends group really helps to build confidence as well).

Now we're talking! 😁

I also quite like the Andechser Monk brew.

 

Since FF 140 I'm getting an icon next to the url whenever I'm opening a website with DRM embedded content, such as discord if someone posted a link to some audio player.

Now normally I ignore those icons, but this particular one is shaking violently whenever you access the website - and not just the first time, but even when you navigate between tabs, which is super annoying.

So I was wondering if there is a way to deactivate it permanently?

 

How was Christmas, if you're celebrating? Any plans for New Year's Eve? Any major achievements this year that you want to share? Resolutions for 2025?

Have a good one folks!

 

Moin zusammen,

Als ich letztes Jahr reddit den Rücken zugekehrt hab, habe ich sämtliche Posts und Kommentare via shreddit überschrieben, und im Anschluss meinen Account "unwiederruflich" gelöscht.

Hin und wieder lande ich via google mal in diversen reddit-communities, gerade wenn es um Nischenthemen geht, wie jetzt als mich ein Kumpel nach meiner alten Espressomaschine gefragt hat und ich ihm einen Link zum Hersteller raussuchen wollte.

Bin dann also hier gelandet: https://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/comments/4trskb/best_budget_espresso_machines_im_hooked_on_flat/d5jp1rr/ - definitiv mein Kommentar, besitze ebendiese Maschine, jetzt seit exakt 10 Jahren (2 Jahre vor dem 8 Jahre alten Kommentar, Preis passt, etc.). Ich erinnere mich auch noch, ihn verfasst zu haben.

Hab dann noch in ein paar anderen communities nachgeschaut wo ich aktiv war, und auch da gab's einiges von mir, allerdings nicht so eindeutig nachvollziehbar.

Habt ihr ne Idee, was ich DSGVO/GDPR-mäßig tun könnte?

 

Happy Monday!

How was your weekend? Any plans, milestones, major dread or whatever else you want to share coming up in the week ahead?

And how are you generally?

 

Since it's been kind of weekly since 8+ weeks... Maybe start this thread again?

Not a moderator or anything (nor trying to be one), but I liked this community on reddit and would be sad to see it die.

 

Hallo zusammen,

Ich hab mein Depot bei FlatEx und bin damit an sich sehr zufrieden, aber jetzt stelle ich mir die Frage, ob sich dahingehend eine Diversifikation anbietet?

Bei der DKB als Hausbank hab ich ebenfalls ein Depot, aber da sind nur noch Karteileichen von vor 15 Jahren drin; irgendwelche endfälligen Zertifikate bis 203x, bei denen die Verkaufsspesen höher wären als jegliche Rendite.

Jetzt möchte ich gerne meine Anlagestrategie ein bisschen diversifizieren und zu dem ETF-Portfolio gerne kurzläufige Staatsanleihen kaufen. DACH mit kleiner Rendite, max 1 Jahr ab Kaufdatum, nix wildes.

Hintergrund ist, dass ich ggfs. in den nächsten 6-24 Monaten Geld brauche um ein Haus anzuzahlen; gleichzeitig aber das Volumen die Einlagensicherung übersteigt, sonst hätte ich es einfach auf's Tagesgeld gepackt oder Festgelder regelmäßig verlängert, das geht nun leider nicht.

Jetzt die eigenltiche Frage: Bei Flatex würde ich für diese Order knapp 4 Euro zahlen, bei der DKB 32,50 Euro. Sollte ich früher verfügen müssen und entsprechend nochmal verkaufen, ergo das doppelte (Endfälligkeit ist kostenlos).

Eigentlich ja ein no-brainer, 28,50/57 Euro zu sparen; aber bietet es sich eurer Meinung nach an, hier denoch das Ausfallrisiko auch über 2 Broker zu verteilen?

Danke im Voraus!

Hi all,

First off: Can't switch to Linux, Windows is a work requirement. Please spare me.

With that out of the way, here's my problem:

Since 2-3 days I've been seeing ads disguised as a minimized video player popup on my Windows 10 Login Screen image.

Initially I thought I might have been watching something on youtube and forgot to close the tab and it autoplayed in the background until reaching this stuff by chance; but that turned out not to be the case (I'm also using Firefox exclusively, which I thought wouldn't integrate with Windows, but I wasn't 100% sure on that end).

I tried to research this a bit, but the only similar case I found was in an old reddit thread saying that some Windows update installed the LinkedIn App for them, which is not the case here.

Antivirus (Bit Defender) and Malwarebytes both give me a clean report.

So I did some more digging and right click that thing with my firewall set to deny all to figure out where this is taking me, and surprise...

Image

There's a total of 100 connection attempts from Windows Search to around 10 different IP addresses, all of which belong to Microsoft.

I have not installed any updates in the last 14 days, no new software, and have not changed any system settings.

What did change is that I am currently not in China, where I normally live, but am on a business trip to Malaysia, where a bunch of services that are blocked in China might be accessible, and are now splicing in those (somewhat disguised) ads.

Does this happen to anyone else, and if so, do you have an idea how to get rid of it?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Dear all,

Since feddit.de has fallen into disrepair by its administrations, some of the fine folks over here have started feddit.org as a second home.

Like most (all?) feddit.de communities, we have now launched !germany@feddit.org (or alternatively https://feddit.org/c/germany, if your instance hasn't federated the community yet) to continue talking about all things Germany, in English.

Welcome to join us over there!

 

Hi all,

Just updated FF to 124.0.1 and now the whatsapp web view is broken. The text input field is somewhere in the upper third of the screen and in the background, overlayed by text boxes so that I can't actually select it. It's automatically selected when switching from one chat to another so I can type there, but only blind in most cases since any comment boxes overlap it.

Tried restarting, clearing cookies, re-authenticating, disabling all plugins, nothing worked.

Does anyone experience something similar and/or know a workaround?

Thanks!

Edit: Fixed by logging out of whatsapp web, clearing cookies, restarting the browser, and then logging back in. Neither of the steps had worked on its own previously, but the combination did the trick.

 

Hi all,

As our community is still small and not overly active, I thought instead of trying to have a weekly or monthly chatter thread up as a sticky, we could try a perpetual one and see what happens.

So anything you feel doesn't warrant a post of its own, just put it here.

Cheers and take care!
