Yes, absolutely. When you look at the innovations happening to Windows recently like Copilot integration and Recall I'm glad that Linux is "boring"

Something similar already happened when bicycle manufacturer VanMoof went under. I believe there was a workaround if you extracted your bike's crypto keys before the servers went down but otherwise you were practically screwed.

Ja, M$ hat das Schema für Windows auch länger verwendet. Von 1507 bis 2004 waren die größeren Updates alle so bezeichnet. Danach wurde das zu 20H2, 21H1 und so weiter umgestellt.

Well, if they had done their own research, they wouldn't have fallen for the scams. Who could have thought that Truth Social attracts users who easily fall for scams?

So we lose Alpine/Renault and win Audi as a new engine constructor while Honda pretty much becomes RBPT. Any further changes in the engine department that I missed?

What in this article had you jump to the conclusion that he wanted to chop his penis off? Dysphoria is a thing, no questions about that, but the vast majority of men don't want their penis removed and from the article it doesn't seem this man is an exception.

First of all, self mutilation is a known phenomenon of psychotic episodes. While this is the first documented case of penile amputation that's also the reason the case study was conducted and we're reading about it at all.

Next, he has years of depression in his past. For a depression do be diagnosed he has to be under some form of psychological care. While no guarantee that greatly improves the change of dysphoria being diagnosed, especially if it were severe enough to resort to self amputation with an axe.

Ultimately, once he came to his senses he did everything in his power to save his penis. If it was his great plan to amputate his penis while making it look like a drug-fueled accident or even if just wanted it removed but couldn't do so while sober, why would he put it on ice? Shouldn't he be glad or relieved it's gone? If he was dysphoric, I would expect him to make sure it doesn't get to the hospital with him.

Everything here implies that he didn't want to mutilate or amputate his penis and in that case implying it was intentional quite insulting, too.

Das funktioniert dann aber nur für die Nutzer, die Reddit ohne App nutzen und nicht das Subreddit-CSS überschreiben

"Nicht realitätstauglich" - pah. Tauglich für welche Realität muss ich da fragen. Die Realität, die derzeit von vielen Politikern angestrebt wird, in der man sich gegenseitig bekämpft, neidet und nach unten tritt statt sich zu helfen? Die Realität in der sich der Planet immer weiter aufheizt und wir in eine ungewisse Zukunft steuern? Für eine solche Realität kann man nicht tauglich sein, wenn man sich nicht einen goldenen Käfig baut und alt genug ist um in den nächsten 20 Jahren zu sterben.

Das ist mal eine Anwendung von KI die auch wirklich sinnvoll ist.

Es ist fraglich ob die Kamera überhaupt KI im eigentlichen Sinne, also Machine- bzw. Deep-Learning, verwendet. Eine Solche Kamera könnte auch problemlos mit konventionellen Mustererkennungsalgorithmen funktionieren, aber dann als "KI" vermarktet werden.

Nonetheless, the first driver to score points for two separate teams during a season.

What is this statistic? He isn't even the only driver on the current grid to do so. Verstappen, Gasly and Albon all scored for both Red Bull and Toro Rosso in a season

Mich wundert das, dass der anscheinend einfach nur seine Buße bekommt und gut ist. Wenn man zweimal direkt nacheinander an der gleichen Stelle mit mehr als dem Doppelten der erlaubten Geschwindigkeit erwischt wurde, sollte doch mal wegen Raserei ermittelt werden. §315d StGB könnte relevant sein, bin aber kein Jurist

To escape a body of mass you need to have enogh velocity (kinetic energy) to overcome the gravitational pull of that body. You can imagine it like a ball sitting in a bowl. With little velocity it will just roll back and forth but if it's fast enough it can roll out of the bowl and escape it's influence.

That critical speed is called "escape velocity" and it depends on mass and distance from a body. The escape velocity of earth (from the surface) is about 11.2 km/s and the sun's escape velocity (from earth orbit) is about 42.1 km/s. Earth orbits around the sun at about 29.8 km/s. If you launch in the direction of Earth's orbit, you will orbit the sun already at about 41 km/s, so you "only" need 1.1 km/s more to escape the sun, too.

If you tried to reach the sun, you could launch in the opposite direction leaving you orbiting the sun at about 18.6 km/s. Since there is almost nothing in space you won't slow down from friction and the orbit won't decay. Instead you'd have to accelerate opposite the direction you're traveling. Now, calculating exactly how much you'd need to decelerate isn't trivial since you don't want a stable orbit but an elliptical orbit that just touches the sun at the closest point (perihel). I don't know how much deceleration that takes, but it's propable that it's easier than accelerating by 1.1 km/s to escape the sun.
