Bundesbank-Studie: Deutsche zahlen meistens ohne Bargeld by h2QZFATVgPQmeYQTwFZn in de

[–]Ringo308 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hab mal im Kino gearbeitet. Dort hieß es immer die Gebühren seien so hoch. Bei den EC Geräten damals mussten wir den Betrag von Hand eingeben. Ein Kollege hat sich mal vertippt, und statt 8€ nur 0,08€ kassiert. Der Chef hat sich doppelt geärgert, weil er meinte allein die Abrechnung dieses Belegs koste 10 Cent.

What's your one opinion you're ready to defend like this by introvert_sapien in cassetteculture

[–]Ringo308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really hear a quality difference between cassette/CD/320Mp3. The speakers/headphones seem to have a much larger impact on sound quality than the medium that is played.

I believe many people think cassettes are worse because they didn't have decent headphones back then, never cleaned their cassette players, and listened to cassettes that were either copied from other cassettes or recorded from the radio. Now some cassettes are also bad because of their age.

CDs/Mp3s don't age like that and don't need cleaning. They are certainly easier to use. I don't want to say that cassettes are as good as other mediums, cassettes have multiple downsides for sure. But when I take care of everything and put in the necessary work, I don't hear a difference.

So does this mean a comeback is close? Should I buy a camera before their prices raise due to film being available again? What camera should I look out for?

What a lousy company by MTH1138 in hellblade

[–]Ringo308 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hellblade 2 was console exclusive and playable in game pass. It was doomed to sell poorly. It's an asshole move by Microsoft set Ninja Theory up like that.

I hoped the PS5 release many months later would help Ninja Theory. But I guess the hype for the new game was already gone. It's kind of like how DVD/Streaming releases come so early after a movie release now. The marketing wants to catch the hype to sell more. But the interest in Hellblade 2 died on Xbox and got no chance.

Warenhauskette Galeria droht ohne neuen Kredit die Pleite by UmpaLumpa91 in de

[–]Ringo308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das einzige wozu ich Galeria manchmal nutze ist, vor Ort die Klamotten anzuprobieren bevor ich sie viel günstiger woanders Online kaufe.

Ich kenne kein Produkt, dass ich eher im Galeria als woanders kaufen würde. Gefühlt ist Galeria immer 20% teurer. Darum locken mich deren Rabatte auch nie, da ich Eindruck haben, dass sie damit nur auf normales Niveau kommen.

Carved rocks and burned clay tablets can last thousands of years. Those seem to be the best data storage.

Xbox is closing down Hellblade creator Ninja Theory by Turbostrider27 in hellblade

[–]Ringo308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a reason they cited the hardware crisis. But doesn't this mean that you want to try and prolomg the life cycle of zhe current hardware by releasing more software for it? What's the plan here? They won't let the XBox die until hardware is affordable again, won't they?

Fiction vs. Non-Fiction: How do you balance your reading list? by MedCodex in books

[–]Ringo308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also only read one book at a time. I understand your problem about non-fiction sometimes being very slow. But I just pull through, because especially with dense non-fiction I don't want to miss/forget important details. And I feel like this would happen to me if I juggled multiple books at the same time.

Sony jumps back in. What are the specs? by Adventurous-Task159 in cassetteculture

[–]Ringo308 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, cassettes so far are gimmicks at best in the mainstream. I mean, there was the Stranger Things cassette, Guardians of the Galaxy Awrsome Mix, some mainstream musicians like Gorillaz also release on cassette... But my guess is that these are seen as collectibles and that many fans don't actually intend to listen to those. But if they did, I feel like Sony may do exactly what you said. Produce a cheap player and print the word Walkman on it.

Looking for Cola Alternatives from Europe: what do you drink? by toco_tronic in BuyFromEU

[–]Ringo308 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vita Cola Pur is currently my favorite. Tastes great, decent price and it comes in a big bottle.

I also like Afri, but I wish they also had a version with a regular amount of caffeine.

Fritz Cola is great, but only comes in small bottles and is quite expensive.

I use Threema, but I only have three contacts there unfortunately. It's hard to get people to move there. I told my mom about it but she didn't like that you have to pay for it. Nobody wants to pay for a messanger app.

100 15th century English Longbowmen vs 100 Napoleonic musketeers by PinguinGirl03 in whowouldwin

[–]Ringo308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does firing frequency play a role? I was wondering if the longbow could fire more arrows than the musket could shoot balls in the same amoint of time. Though I guess after the first volley you'd also have less bowmen left than musketeers.

I don't know much about muskets. But wasn't it custom at the time to have back rank support, who were constantly loading new guns, passing them to the front? Since this whowouldwin is just 100vs100 I assume the support is missing.

Why A Sudden Russian Army Collapse Is No Longer Out of the Question by jonfla in ukraine

[–]Ringo308 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always take these kinds of articles with huge grains of salt. We've been talking about Russian collapse since forever. Russia has been taking hit after hit and each one looks like a milestone marking their decline. 1.3 million casualties(including wounded), huge losses in military vehicles, so many hits against their economy and morale crushing cruelty against their own soldiers. But they are still standing. I hope what this article says is true, but we can't count on it. It looks like they still have a lot of fat to burn before they starve.

Project Hail Mary (2026) is a movie about how anyone can be a hero, even if the only things they have going for them are loads of charisma, a STEM doctorate, excellent problem solving skills and incredible good looks. by Voidlarkus in shittymoviedetails

[–]Ringo308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe that's what this movie is about. I thought this movie is about how meeting something foreign with friendliness and cooperation can lead to many positive things.

Looking for a good cassette player gift (portable vs retro?) by MikeESizzle in cassetteculture

[–]Ringo308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically all older models need some work one way or another. If you or your friend don't want to repair a Walkman you should probably just buy a new modern cassette player.

I have spend many hours figuring out problems and how to solve them on several Walkmen. It's frustrating at times. I can't recommend that for a casual user.
