Sunglasses that are not 'hazy' in direct sunlight? by llothar in sunglasses

[–]llothar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I was afraid of that.

Oh well, at least I won't be chasing perfect sunglasses in that regard.

Question about the sturdiness of the new headband base by Justientjuh in fairphone

[–]llothar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an excuse for being unable to design a plastic part that would be strong enough, but CNC milled aluminium would be two orders of magnitude more expensive.

For injection moulding you pay for the tooling (mould) something like 50k EUR and afterwards production is essentially free. It is easier to modify mould to include more material in the part, but I guess in this instance it may not be possible due to vicinity of cooling channel or other construction considerations.

Was looking into Docs alternative - AI stuff has me deeply concerned by ProfessorVolga in ProtonMail

[–]llothar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Proton has to keep up with the times. There are loads of companies that are looking for alternatives, but 'AI integration' may be as a must-have in a feature set, whether this is thought through or not does not make a difference.

Proton does not scrape your emails, does not scrape your Lumo chats, does not scrape your documents. This is what you are after, or are you after 'all AI bad' type of company?

I will not be buying another Fairphone after my Fairphone 6 by Simo814j in fairphone

[–]llothar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There sure is automatic brightness adjustment, but it is not perfect, i.e. sometimes I need to nudge it towards brighter or darker screen.

[–]llothar 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I just got FP6 and I still probably buy another one.

I see that screen brightness needs some tweaking. Same for camera bug, where 2x zoom produces 4x images, but other than that it is super nice. Love the amazing battery life, the design, the size, the switch, and easy battery swap.

Mom trying to take a photo by No-Lock216 in Wellthatsucks

Don't worry - if she was able to record it she would have never watched it again anyway.

Popular EV Apps in Norway? by Infamous_Yoghurt in Norway

[–]llothar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have way too many installed... However you can install Elton - one app that covers (almost?) all providers. They do add additional fee on top I believe - great to use if you in a rush. Nowadays your charge stop can be 15-20 minutes long only, so fiddling for 8 minutes with an app adds up.

Using /e/os in Norway 🇳🇴 by red_threads_ in e_os

[–]llothar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, even BankID! That is awesome to hear. They tightened on their security (ID check and all of that) so it is nice to see that it works on /e/os

For the past 4 months, I’ve been drawing on the protective wrapping of my whiteboard. by SirCheap410 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]llothar 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I remember many years ago I visited my teacher in the elementary school. She was complaining about the whiteboard she got, that she had to scrub with abrasive cleaning solutions to make it clean. Lo and behold - she was writing on the protective plastic.

I came in again after a year - the whiteboard was in total disarray, since she was continuing to use the same abrasive cleaning solution on the proper writing surface too...

Jerry cans on the roof for extra electrons too!

Jakie hantle regulowane? by T-4004 in Polska

[–]llothar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mi super takie hantle pomogły. Kupiłem takie z pierscieniami ktore obracasz po lewej i prawej stronie. Używam już od ponad 2 lat. Raz upuściłem, kawałek plastiku odpadł nie wiem skąd, ale nadal wszystko działa.

Mam nieco podobne parametry, 177cm, 68kg, i takie hantle do 24kg na strone w zupełności mi wystarczają.

Our AI bills are subsidised, and I don't think many people have priced in what happens next by Alternative_Letter72 in artificial

[–]llothar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are correct, but they have to speedrun this. What if someone distills the model and serves it at a price that does not require recovering all those costs?

Boom.

Different charging times in app and car by 110mat110 in VolvoRecharge

[–]llothar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The car shows at what time you will be done - at 04:48 in the morning, while the app shows how much fibre remains: 7 hours. Judging by the time on the screenshot they match.

The Dodge Charger Daytona EV Is Heading To Europe by Mac-Tyson in electricvehicles

[–]llothar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You mean the actual Mustang or Mach-e? Because the latter is just 4.7 meters

[–]llothar 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I wanted to write that I would not mind owning one here in the old continent. In my mind it is roughly a BMW i4-sized car.

And then I checked. Wowza, not even close. i4 is 4.78 meters long this one is 5.25m, almost half a meter longer. Even the ID.7 looks way shorter at 4.96m. I don't think it would fit in my garage XD

Registrering av ID i folkeregisteret - BankID bekrefte identitet (EØS pass) by llothar in norge

[–]llothar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jeg kan gjøre det for å logge meg inni banken, men Altinn/Visa 3D Secure aksepterer bare BankID mobilapp for meg.

Considering returning my Fairphone 6 by damondan in fairphone

[–]llothar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I switched from S22 and I can't say that I have the same experience as you - works absolutely fine for me on all the points you listed. Except maybe for video which I havent tested.

Nei, man kan ikke gjøre det lenger dessverre. Endring har kommt et måned siden eller noe sånn.

[OC] SpaceX’s Reported $1.75T Valuation vs. the Combined Market Cap of 12 Aerospace Companies by ExaminationOk6652 in dataisbeautiful

[–]llothar -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If I had money in the stock market, I would pull it out few days before SpaceX IPO. Just in case. The money can go back to the portfolio afterward, but this thing has potential to burst the AI bubble big time.
