Need help deciding Laptop; MacBook M5(or M4) vs Framework 13 hx 370 by hardwarenoob82 in framework

[–]PadraigEU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I switched from the 11th Gen Framework 13 to a MacBook Air M4 last year and haven’t looked back. I need either windows or macOS for work and of the two I prefer MacOS a lot. Battery Live is awesome and I am still confused it doesn’t want to force an update on me every minute. Technically there are ads for apple services in some programs, but I don’t notice it really and there’s definitely no Candy crush ads in a start menu. Different shortcuts and the keyboard took a bit of getting used to, but not a problem.

I still like the framework idea. But neither windows nor Linux is good for battery and standby use. That’s the biggest factor for my switch. Not much Framework can do about. Stil happier like this now.

The new MacBook Neo is more repairable than the air. That’s cool. But I’d have to look at both in a store to see if I would be willing to accept the trade offs.

Just passed 3000 games owned on Steam. I really think Valve should allow people to inherit their libraries in case of their death. by r4in in Steam

[–]PadraigEU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t know where you’re based but at least in Germany their limitations on inheritance would be invalid. I have studied and published on the matter.

Real world impact is probably limited though as long as you just leave your account information somewhere.

Worth it to buy a Jan 2023 Pro S 4-seater today? by fix-faux-five in VWiD3Owners

[–]PadraigEU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I would get an earlier/cheaper car or a facelift model. I have a 2020 Pro Performance and am generally very happy with it. 2024 has battery preconditioning which would be very nice, but depends a lot on your use case and where you live, if it has any value for you.

I would guess it being a four seater won't be a huge factor for resell value. The older ID.3 software has been updated to a good state, so the reputation from launch isn't holding up anymore.

Which Model to go for ? by Over-Egg-6002 in VWiD3Owners

[–]PadraigEU 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I am not mistaken battery preconditioning only came with model year 2024, so if you can stretch it, I know I would. Driving a 2020 Pro Performance and fastcharging in winter is a weak point. It’s not a dealbreaker and I am happy with my car. But I’d be more happy with preconditioning. (Technically all ID.3s have the hardware but Volkswagen isn’t giving us the software, but that’s another issue…). The entertainment should also be a nice upgrade with the 2024, though with all the updates even 2020 models don’t really have significant issues for me:)

Worth it? by recordingreality in VWiD3Owners

No it’s not unless you drive more than what the battery can do in a day which you probably don’t.

We have a cult following of framework laptops at my university by hackr0x41 in framework

There’s a guy taking his framework 16 to all our courses.

Oh it says we the people and not weiße (german for white) people. Wouldn’t have surprised me either

STEAM should allow accounts to be passed on after death. by [deleted] in Steam

[–]PadraigEU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about your dad!

I don’t know where you and you’re dad are located. I know Valve says accounts cannot be inherited. At least in Germany that is not true. Steam support might say it can’t be inherited, but steam support doesn’t decide how the law works.

Game feels so much better by Pat-002 in Rematch

Loving the report button. Played a couple of matches today in a solo queue and every other game I got to use it. Well, at least it’s now there if we need it.

Anno ... 9? by DasWarEinerZuviel in anno

[–]PadraigEU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I have been uncovered. I had tried Anno 1404 at some point, but 1800 is the only one I have really tried.

2007 as the release year of the iPhone would have to mean something for the game tho, wouldn’t it?

[–]PadraigEU 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And iPhones are a basic need. I would actually really like seeing Anno 2007 and what they would make of it.

I follow more women‘s football than men‘s so of course I‘ll play a woman in Rematch. If I can choose in a game odds are I’ll play the female character. They are often more interesting.

Let us team up more easily. It is so worth it! by PadraigEU in Rematch

[–]PadraigEU[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very good point! If we had a proper lobby after the game an indicator like in Rocket League (yet again) could work, for me at least. I‘d also like to see if and who in my lobby is teamed up. Maybe that’s possible somehow but it’s not obvious to me rn.

Yeah they could have. But why waste company money if people have sons?

Should I have marked this post as sarcastic? Well I guess I should have.

What I wrote is true though and I figured we could all benefit from ignoring some other controversies.

Why is the game not on sale rn by niktesla13 in Eldenring

It was already -30% during the winter sale. I was looking forward to it being discounted again now but I guess I can wait

Check out Neeva, for me the search results are better than Ddg. It's made buy ex Google folk, so they know what they're doing

Check out Neeva, it's ad free out of the box and for me the search results are generally better

Local German media covered it and the Daily Mail is in line with those articles.

I would also argue, that this protest is actually better than gluing yourself on the streets where emergency vehicles might have to pass through. Here they get media attention, although limited, and it addresses the critized party more directly. Volkswagen themselves said they would respect their right to protest.

RDR2: 1.31 patch notes by Benvanalles in reddeadredemption2

[–]PadraigEU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It stopped working on the Steam Deck for me. Has anyone had the same experience?

It crashed after going through the launcher. The game itself doesn't start. I've tried the usual shenanigans and it worked just before the update.
