I checked and it looks like American cheese pizza is different from a Margherita. It is more uniformly looking, and it has a dominant cheese flavour without the freshness of the tomatoes and basil.

Well, good to have more choice there. But only two major Android updates? Fairphone policy is eight major updates.

Or just press the file and hit F2, or slow click on the file twice.

The key thing here is that the gold is not the property of the charity, but some previous owner. It wasn’t part of any purchase deed.

The reason it is such a recurring theme is that broccoli and sprouts were cultivated to taste good over time. In the recent past, they had a more bitter taste which lead to some generations disliking them.

This is about OEM prices, which are already much lower than consumer prices. A 10% increase is less than a 10 dollar difference.

I mean it can be an argument not to choose Windows, but it seems a bit far fetched to compare it with the price increases caused by the RAM shortages.

Try the energy sector. Another safe one would be government work or banking.

But without additional information from your side it will be really hard to propose anything that suits you.

Well, I apologize if saying that the remark about you being inexperienced triggered you. Though I must say your first reaction, literally laughing out loud at my contribution is also not the pinnacle of empathy.

This topic is about memory usage so let’s stick to that. And blocking is up to you, as it affects your experience and not mine.

Why so emotional? We are talking about the memory usage of a weather app.

My point is about that 250 MB is a terrible amount of memory for such an application, and that such software isn’t updated for memory regardless of the platform. Yes, the Windows one is the most terrible of all.

The fact that you are a video editor is not relevant, nor is the fact that you are older, but it is interesting to read about your past nonetheless. L

It’s not an expectation, it’s a reference. It’s just a fact that software nowadays is not optimized for memory usage, regardless of the platform.

And yes, I’m pretty sure your weather app is fancy but come on man, a weather app is mostly a portal to show cloud data and is totally incomparable to a professional grade video editor, even one from 25 years ago.

The fact that you find it normal that displaying the weather takes up a quarter billion bytes of memory make me think you are relatively young and have never experienced anything other than the software of the past 10 years.

Indeed. 247 MB is four times as much RAM as is needed to use the full Adobe Premiere 6 video editor. And it is enough memory to run 30 instances of Word 97.

A weather app with images and backend querying can be made to run in ~20 MB RAM with proper optimalisation. The issue is that most developers don’t optimize for memory use anymore. Things like data types, heap allocation and copies vs references used to be a primary concern of developers.

You don’t need bandwidth to switch streaming services and import your old playlists though. For example a streaming service like Tidal tags all AI music and does not monetize AI generated music.

And if you weant the music straight on your phone, something like Opus 128 kbps is already considered high quality (we have come a long way since mp3). Let’s say your cousin has 20 000 songs. That’s about 60 GB in that form, which fits on most mid grade/flagship phones.

Problem is USB lock connectors are not standardized. So these are only sporadically used, much more expensive and hard to replace by end users.

For many professional use cases, USB-B suffices. Most professional devices don’t need the speed of USB 3.0 and aren’t plugged in and out all the time, they just need to be reliable for a decade or more.

If you really want sturdy, fast and standardized then different protocols are used entirely in the industry. Such as Profinet, Ethercat, Ethernet or DE9 with CAN or RS485. These can cover larger distances, can be used in networks and the protocol is often more deterministic.

Same here, we make diagnostic devices used in factories. These are shipped with USB A to USB B cables.
USB C was considered but it doesn’t have enough withdrawal force

It’s not super hard to leave Spotify if you are willing to invest some effort.

Use Exportify (free service) to download his playlists from Spotify as csv files. Or use something like Soundizz (paid) to directly convert between platforms.

You can parse the csv files and use something like Soulseek to create an offline library. Compress to aac or opus so you can take thousands of songs with you on your phone, or use your own casting service on a raspberry pi.

The amount of Dutch and German drivers is roughly equal. Perhaps it’s those darn BMW drivers. You always see them smoking, wearing a cap, with their chair set all the way back, overtaking cars on the right.

Front collision warning/braking is already mandatory on all new cars after 2024. And many older more expensive cars have it as well.

The worst thing is that almost nothing happens at the border patrol, it’s just a farce to keep the German right wing population happy and everyone has to suffer because of it.

You drive into a large traffic jam because everything is funnelled onto one lane where you can only progress at walking speed. Many times there isn’t even someone on guard. And if there are guards, they are talking to each other.

Got to say, it’s not very cheerful nor is it welcoming to drive into a country like that.

Depends on your model. Some BMW, Volvo, VW and older Teslas discharge within weeks. Mostly due to their built in telematic systems and luxury systems.

My message was meant for people who do not take these things into account. As there are many of them.

Also, you can definitely permanently damage your battery by letting it discharge too far. This is due to a process called hard sulfation.
