This is because waterproof devices will be might be exempt from having to have replaceable batteries.

Some manufacturers are already eyeing an exemption for batteries used in “wet conditions” to opt out electric toothbrushes and possibly wearables like earbuds and smartwatches. The exemption is “based on unfounded safety claims,” states Thomas Opsomer, policy engineer for iFixit, in RepairEU’s post.

Die Grundaussage der Leserzuschriften ist also: “Die AfD ist rechtmäßig gewählt worden und nun muss man sich im Rahmen des demokratischen Prozesses mit ihnen an einen Tisch setzen, auch wenn diese ganz andere Werte vertreten.” Das ist das Paradoxon der Toleranz. Das hat noch nie funktioniert.

In einer Demokratie muss man auch andere Meinungen aushalten: Man kann sich mit allen anderen Parteien zusammensetzen, auch wenn diese ganz andere Demografien und Interessen haben, die vielleicht nicht mit den eigenen Werten übereinstimmen. Was aber nicht geht, ist ein Dialog mit der AfD! Diese Partei steht für das Gegenteil einer Demokratie. Eine Partei, deren Jugendorganisation als gesichert rechtsextrem bezeeichnet werden darf, möchte Asylsuchende zum Südenbock machen und nicht nur diese, sonder auch deren Unterstützer “remigrieren”, also aus Deutschland herausschaffen. Vor neunzig Jahren hat man das noch “deportieren” genannt. Jeder vom Konservativen abweichende Lebensentwurf wird von der AfD abwertend betrachtet, zudem soll der Sozialstaat abgebaut werden, und gegen Europa sind die auch. Jemand, der solche Werte vertritt und lebt, verdient es nicht, dass man mit denen in einen Dialog geht.

Wenn 20% der Wähler eine Partei wählen, deren Werteverständnis bei 80% der übrigen Wähler auf Ablehnung trifft, dann haben diese 20% sich verwählt. Man kann diese nur zurückholen, wenn man zeigt, dass die Wertvorstellungen der Partei, die sie gewählt haben nicht von der Mehrheit toleriert werden. Und das funktioniert nicht, wenn man sich mit denen an einen Tisch setzt!

What a bad article. I mean, good for him, but expected that there was a further insight of how people are attached to their phones, other than just a single quote in the headline.

Here is another, similar story of someone that has been incarcerated for 44 years which gives more insight into the changes that have been happening while being locked up in prison, although the article focuses more around legislative implications.

No wonder with these incidents happening.

Rawdogging the internet applies to those who do not set up their phones properly. This applies to both IPhone and Android users. It is uncool that Apple only allows Webkit based browsers, where uBlock Origin doesn’t work. But even Safari Browser can be set up properly in the settings. Additional to that, there are extensions that block ads and trackers. I use a combinatiion of three extensions and I haven’t seen any ads so far:

KaBlock!
Hush Nag Blocker
Ad Guard (I only use the free tier)

Lesenswerter Artikel

In Anbetracht dessen, was gerade so in der Welt los ist, ist diese Meldung irgendwie nicht schockierend. Verursacht bloß ein Achselzucken. Hätte man herausgefunden, dass Trump in Wirklichkeit zwei Leute übereinander mit einem Trenchcoat sind (das würde seine kleinen Hände erklären), dann würde das die gleiche Reaktion hervorrufen.

Edit: gerade einen Faktencheck dazu gefunden.

Like this:

This is awful. Similar to the deportation of Jews in the 1940’s in the Third Reich.

This is and was the current workaround. On my old phone I had to install an app for that because they decided that there is an up and down which didn’t allow for a 180° rotation.

When held upside down the buttons on the side are misaligned to where the fingers and the thumb are placed. Thus, the volume up-and-down buttons are swapped, which is rather unintuitive.

Before a smartphone holder for my car was handed down to me (I never bothered to buy one for myself) I placed my phone inside the cup holder located at where the shifter is. When the phone needed to be charged, it was not possible to have the phone oriented in the “normal” direction, as the phone would have stood on the charging cable resulting in damaging of the cable. For that reason I made use of the app that allowed me to rotate the phone, so that the charging port would have been on the upper side.

Yeah, Big Pants is into this. What if instead of phone cases manufacturers sell pants to carry the phone around. Imagine…
… the iPants. Specially made for carrying the latest iPhone with you. For just 2999,-. You can’t wash it tho, and it will not be compatible with the upcoming model.

It’s not even flagship phones. Even the cheaper ones are huge. When I had to replace my LG phone (6") I went to an electronics store to see what’s on the market right now. Of all phones availiable there only were two android phones (I don’t know which brand) that were sized similarly to my LG phone. Both of them were in the 800-€-price-range.

Similar with iPhones. Almost all models exceeded the 6" screen size, except for one or two models which were in the 1000-€-price-range. They also had an iPhone SE there, that had the desired size. I bought this as a refurbished one online for a fraction of the original price.

It’s harder and harder to find a phone that has a size that either fits in your hand or that can be carried inside your pants without restricting your ability to sit down while the phone is inside the pocket.

A phone with the charging port on the upper side instead of the bottom. This makes using the phone easier when it is being charged. Also, recessed camera lenses. Why do they have to stick out? When placing the phone on a surface, the camera lens cover will get scratches over time. If the phone was just one milimeter thicker, the cameras on the back wouldn’t stick out and one wouldn’t need a phone case, that adds to thickness anyway. It also would be nice if phone manufacturors would still have smaller screen sizes (max. 6") in their portfolio, as it is inconvenient to carry a larger phone in a pocket.

Apples eco system does have pretty good safety features. As far as I have heard, Apple is indeed not up to sell user data outside their eco system. However, they collect data from their users and use it for their own purposes. It is always a good advice to go through each setting (of phone as well as laptop) and evaluate if it is needed for functionality (e.g. location services or access for the camera or contacts). Not only will this measurement reduce the amount of (usually) unneccessary data that is being transmitted otherwise, but it will also improve battery life as well.

The interactive website mentioned in the article.

Seeing these old photos with additional information makes the whole ordeal much more tangible.

Do you mean iCloud Mail? I assume it is as secure as all the other iCloud services themselves. Personally, I don’t use iCloud (except for the “Find my” feature). But you can set up any third party Email service with the Apple’s Mail app. I use Mailbox.org as email provider and have it set up with the Mail app on my iPhone. It works flawlessly. Third party email providers often come with additional costs (the lowest tier with Mailbox.org was 12 € each year when I switched from a freemail provider a couple of years ago). I don’t know if iCloud Mail is free of charge, other than additional storage space.

Gutes Video, vor allem das Fazit am Ende. Die vage Chance, genug Geld zu gewinnen, um vielleicht aus dem Hamsterrad aussteigen zu können, veranlasst die Kandidaten zu Handlungen, die einfach nur unethisch sind. Teamgeist wird bestraft, Egoismus und Intrigen weden belohnt. Jeder ist bestechlich. Es kommt auf die Summe an. Was kommt als nächstes? Kandidaten, die um Geld für die Behandlung ihrer Krankheiten und Therapien spielen?

Mr. Beast scheint generell ein unsympathischer Typ zu sein. Ich kenne ihn eigentlich nur, weil Schokoriegel mit seinem Gesicht auch bei uns vernarktet werden, an Kinder als Zielgruppe. War das nicht auch der Typ, der Obdachlosen vor der Kamera Geld gegeben hat, und es ihnen nach dem Dreh wieder abgenommen hat?

As long as you have multiple backups of your data, you shouldn’t be concerned. HDDs as well as SDDs can potentially fail at any given time.

The key is to have more than one backup. You shouldn#t rely on only one backup alone.

vor allem, wenn man bedenkt, dass z.B. Wurst aus Tier-Abfallstoffen hergestellt ist.
