"Kaufhaus Österreich" is it you?

No contactless payment feature unfortunately. Polar watches need a special wristband for that.

I know nothing about French colonialism in Algeria and I immediately found a french massacre from 1945 with at least 6000 deaths.
Sounds like he has a point.

I will switch to GOG or any other store the second they officially support and fund Linux gaming.

Orban would be a fool if he took this as anything but a propaganda win. In two weeks Trump might rip this deal up because of nice phone call with another politician. Trump doesn't seem to follow a strategy and changes his mind every day at whim.

You can make mayonnaise yourself within a few minutes. Its just eggyolk and oil. Tastes way better than anything store bought.

You guys buy branded ketchup? Its Aldis store brand or nothing for me.

I think they are very good. Don't expect any fancy features though. The gallery for example only shows pictures in directories and has very basic editing capabilities. There is no album management or automatic backup of any sort.

I know people don't like to hear it but, assuming you and your neighbours collectively own the house, taking out a loan for a renovation like this isn't the worst idea. Might be a massive headache though.

I recently read about something similar called Anubis. Is it related?

You make it sound like a huge conspiracy but there are laws and regulations around everything you try to sell, especially for electronics.

You also have to do EMF radiation testing, ensure that your printer doesn't produce toxic aerosols or fumes, and probably a bunch of other things to prove that your product is safe. I don't see why the fingerprinting isn't just another thing on the list of things you have to do to be in compliance with the rules. If your company is capable of producing something as complex as a printer, encoding the device' serial number into a bunch of yellow microdots that you add to the printout shouldn't be an issue.

That article is hilarious.

So I devised an alternative: listening to the work as an audiobook. I already did this for the Odyssey, which I justified because that work was originally oral. No such justification for the Bible. Oh well.

Apparently, having a book read at you without taking notes or research is doing humanities.

[...] I wrote down a few notes on the text I finished the day before. I’m still using Obsidian with the Text Generator plugin. The Judeo-Christian scriptures are part of the LLM’s training corpus, as is much of the commentary around them.

Oh, we are taking notes? If by taking notes you mean prompting spicy autocomplete for a summary of the text you didn't read. I am sure all your office colleagues are very impressed, but be careful around the people outside of the IT department they might have an actual humanities degree. You wouldn't want to publicly make a fool out of yourself, would you?
