I’ve seen cheap solar powered garden lights which used AA sized rechargeable batteries literally yesterday. A friend asked me to take a look why they stopped working, and I was astonished that it was a standard size, not the classic box with the thinnest possible red and black cables as usually in cheap plastic stuff like that.

My solar powered keyboard uses ML2032 coin cell rechargeable battery. They are rare, but exists.

Wiki examples show added to multiple tags:

disused:amenity=pub
disused:operator=The Oxford Pub Company
name=Fox & Hounds

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix#Examples

disused:amenity=parking
disused:capacity=20

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:disused#Comparison_of_disused=yes_vs_disused:key=*_namespace

My habit is to add it to main tags only, if there are more main tags add it to all of them, but nothing else. Renderer should get from this it’s disused, adding it to operator or capacity shouldn’t matter, but it will be more work to change them back when it becomes used again. Changing more tags are more error prone.

I would tag a disused bus stop this way:

disused:public_transport=platform
disused:highway=bus_stop
name=*
operator=*
shelter=*
...

It’s true what you write, but it’s not related to Wayland/X11.

But this is the reason CAD software can’t use multiple cpu cores for geometry calculations. The next calculation needs the result of the previous one, it can’t be parallelized.

Buy a better case for the mobo. I modded once an mITX motherboard to an ancient HP Proliant microserver case, it’s not that hard. Mobos like this doesn’t have standard screw distances, but you don’t have to secure all screws in a ghetto server. 2 screws and some padding is enough, with 3 screws you are overengineering.

It’s a Fujitsu W26361 There isn’t a lot of info about it on the net, all the links are rotten.

You have a sata port. You have to use an external power supply for that. Or maybe one of the pins next to it can supply the required voltage, you can use a multimeter to figure it out if you are brave. I guess the white one labeled PWR should be supply some volts. To be safe you can split the power of the other sata ssd or buy something like this:

You also have 2 an mPCIe or mSATA port. It’s impossible to tell the difference from a photo, because they use the same connector.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#Mini-SATA_(mSATA)_variant

Without any more knowledge I would guess at least one of them is an mPCIe. Having 2 sata ports and an 2 mSATA next to it would be strange, they could use the mPCIe for a 3G modem or wifi, it would make more sense in a thin client like this.

If it’s an mPCIe you can buy a sata expansion there and even connect up to 4 sata drives. Looks like something like this:

You can convert it to normal PCIe or m.2, the possibilities are endless:

If it’s not mPCIe but mSATA, you can buy mSATA SSD there, they are really rare nowadays. Or you can buy an mSATA to SATA adapter:

IMO people would figure it out and life would go on.

This whole thread is about how it can be solved or not. Also they would oppose such a change, and we are speaking about millions of people. Would you tell them: “Oh, this system is terrible for you but a bit more convenient for us, so we will change, and you will figure it out”

One way to solve it that they use a different point for day change, but we are back to the root again, as at some points on the planet they will have a different date, or we can call it a different time zone…

I don’t really see the argument about people waking up at different times.

The point is that you get the same problem as with the current system, and abolishing the time zones won’t solve issues like that. People will still live according to their solar day, and if you want to call someone on the other side of globe you still have to look up when are their working hour, aka their “time zone”… So abolishment of time zones were not successful, they are just called differently…

Do not ask for the time zone, ask for the city. Than use a tool for the task. People are stupid, and they don’t necessarily know the name of their time zone, even during DST.

I used website this before, you just type the city names and it will show you which time is good for which participant: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html But I’m pretty sure a lot other websites exist to solve this.

The problem in your story was not time zones, but you didn’t use the correct tool for the task.

That’s the same as Ublock Origin - Anoyances list, you don’t need a separate addon for that.

Ublock Origin -> Settings -> External Filters -> Annoyances -> Tick all

Why is it a mess? I know from a programmer’s point of view it is, I’ve seen the Tom Scott video a lot of times, but for average people it doesn’t really matter.

Update to the video: they decided that they won’t add a new leap second at least until 2035, and there are plans to switch to leap minutes instead, and sync to the astronomical clock once every century only.

Where it matters, e.g. international flight, they already use UTC for everything. How they solve this problem behind the scenes shouldn’t affect the everyday lives of people. Computers use binary but we still use decimal system and noone want to change the numbering system. In a lot of places people use 12 hour clock in speech, but 24 hour in written form, and noone has problem with that. I don’t understand why we should change it just because of the laziness of some programmers.

Currently if I want to call someone in Japan, or Australia I already cant say I will call you tomorrow afternoon, because its already tomorrow when I get up.

Yes, but these kind of long distance calls affect only a handful of people. A best before date on a food packaging or a lot of other situations where only the day is given from a date would become more complex for a lot of places, and they would affect the life of far more people.

At what time the date changes from Wednesday to Thursday? At 0:00 UTC? Ask someone in Hawaii if they would like to use different day at the morning than at the evening. “I will call you tomorrow” does it mean today afternoon, or tomorrow morning? etc.

It was recommended multiple times in history, the problem is that it doesn’t really solve any problems, just moves the problems elsewhere:

• At some parts of the world “midnight” (the time when the day changes) will be during the “day”. Would you like that you have to use a different calendar date at the morning and at the evening? It also makes much harder to check if something happened one or 2 days ago by simply checking the date, you would have to know the new UTC time as well
• You still would have to know how far they are from you to set up an international call. Some people wake up at 2:00 UTC, some wake up at 16:00 UTC. So actually nothing solved, but you have to use different numbers instead of time zone names.
• Time in China works like that, you can already see how it’s going there. Full of China is one time zone, on its western border if you would cross to Afghanistan you would have to set your clock 4 and half hours backward. In Xinjiang solar noon is around 15:00 (3 pm). How people live like this? They simply use different timetables, 9-5 job is something like 11-7. So even it doesn’t have a separate time zone people live like they would have a separate time zone.
• Swatch Internet Time was a well known example of this in the late 90s, you can read the general problems with it on wiki

I use these ones frequently:

• Quick Currency Converter - I’m interested in a better currency converter, its UI is not nice, but otherwise usable, and I couldn’t find a better one
• Open Page in Private Window - Adds button to rightclick menu
• Want My RSS - RSS button in the url bar
• Viewhance - better image viewer, zoom with scroll wheel, etc
• TWP - Translate Web Pages - Like the built in translator, but online only, works with more languages, translate selection in rightclick menu
• PersistentPin - I don’t know why FF forgets pinned pages, but this solves that

Here is a video of him running on the 2012 olympics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB_g-RSIGfM

He was so much quicker than everyone else on the paralympics, it wasn’t a challenge for him. By comparison the same 400m para final also in 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn4FWEm4FzM

I’m not familiar with linux mint, why?

Also they can switch to debian base relatively easily

I just read the article and they say exactly what I guessed:

“This approach would guarantee stability on the appointed release day, but was proving unpopular with consumers looking to adopt the latest features and hardware support as well as silicon vendors looking […] to align their Ubuntu support,” Canonical’s Brett Grandbois explains.

But to “provide users with the absolute latest in features and hardware support, Ubuntu will now ship the absolute latest available version of the upstream Linux kernel at the specified Ubuntu release freeze date, even if upstream is still in Release Candidate (RC) status.”

Maybe stability is not a frequent issue nowadays, and they need the new kernel to support new hardware more quickly?

E.g. I can imagine a new linux friendly laptop can’t be sold with ubuntu preinstalled because the old kernel is not supporting some parts yet, but it’s already merged upstream. Or something like that.

My bank’s 2FA works only via their app or via SMS. For SMS I would have to pay per each received SMS.

The app perfectly works without safetynet, with microG, rooted with magisk but hidden by zygisk, so I’m lucky. At one update they added a popup at start after login about asking to add my card to Google Wallet (or whatever it’s called nowadays), and it’s not implemented in MicroG, so I can’t open it since that version. I just downgraded to the last working version and blacklisted its upgrades in Aurora, and I hope they won’t block my old version in the near future.

It’s a very progressive small local bank, I will contact them about this issue if they block my old version to make that dialog optional.

I’m using Firefox with strict protection policy with Ublock Origin on Linux, so it’s not a general Firefox thing, I would consult the browser console, or maybe check if it’s still not visible in a private window and without addons.
