Strictly speaking, information technology encompasses software dev as a subfield. Practically, a large software development at a company has very different needs and strategic goals than what people usually understand as the “IT guys” so what you mentioned. So they are set up accordingly in an organisation.

That is quite possible, but I would assume the visual check to be more lenient than a specified box, especially since they can take into consideration that I wedged it in tightly.

Actually my bag doesn’t fully fit under the seat, just mostly and I live with the reduced foot space. So I might fail a size box for under the seat.

I always place my carry-on under the seat in front, so it would feel absurd to pay for the limited overhead space.

As I understand it, he was fined exactly the amount he earned over 3 years of a job where he was using a VPN.

Being able to criminally persecute someone requires knowing their identity. If this is the only approach, the real need to prevent anonymous internet usage will increase.

Had the same situation.

At some point I just got used to enough of it that it’s quite functional.

I wish I could change some of the defaults, but for editing it fulfills most of my needs.

Boy, Oxo has has a terrible website. Decline their tracking and it gets stuck “Processing request” while blocking the whole page. Accept and it’s immediately usable.

For the FP4 they said one of the reasons they remove the aux input was that more people asked them to reduce the size of their phone than to keep the input.

A lot of the great things in D:OS2 are present in BG3 and it probably wouldn’t be a success without them.

For an upgrade, Baldurs Gate 3 has great cinematics with motion capture and it feels like the dialogue writing offers more interesting, sometimes outlandish options. Often, winning a skill check just earns you a witty line, but it feels great.

I have encountered one remarkable situation were I really didn’t expect something to work, but I was able to play it out exactly as I would have been able, interrupting the main characters dialogue by switching to a companion and doing something and the NPC reacted as I had hoped.

We actually did have a ruling like that in Germany, so our highest available punishment, “lifelong” prison sentences aren’t what the name implies. They are long, always more than 15 years and usually above 20, but eventually you get out.

There is another measure available to keep people locked up indefinitely, “Sicherheitsverwahrung”, which keeps getting extended if they are considered to remain a large threat to society. But it’s not supposed to be a punishment, so they get more commodities at least.

There are approaches to delete topics from the trained model, so not sure this will keep them busy for that long.

Is being able to afford these things really not affecting anything?

Especially the pet sounds like quite a difference to me.

If the microchip just contains a unique serial ID you can check with the producer, it would be just as easy to print it in the casing or glue it to the side of the wheel, no need to implant it in the outermost layer of cheese.

There’s currently a meeting in Germany with about 4000 of them.

But it’s not the prevailing mindset in the general population.

If he gets sentenced he will still need to be kept alive inside prison, how does that work?

I’ll have a much easier time replacing a passport compared to various certifications, people regularly lose their passport and there is a cost associated of 60 Euros.

It’s a male phone.

Phones have a biased sex ratio, so chances are you mostly saw female phones until now.

The imminent threat of an invasion (assembled in staging area and ready to go) could have been tried before. It would have been very costly, but would have been necessary anyway for an actual invasion if the nuclear bombs didn’t cause a surrender (there was a coup attempt to prevent it, so it was never a sure thing even with the bombs).

I would experience negative emotions about Lemmy/k in if I found a reddit thread describing my problem and the lauded solution was changed to say the user moved there. It would not make me want to switch.
