Reiterating why I find so many magazine to be trash nowadays.
Overly set up for SEO, poorly researched and often just crammed with shitty ads. That they completely neglected the formats used by pirating and home content speaks volumes.
That’s why I now often prefer to just look up stuff on enthusiast forums, Reddit or to some extent Lemmy. The last hasn’t gotten as good of an integration with search engines.
Yup. Been there, done that :) Although, if you come in as a Westerner, I do recommend buying a genuine Honda. The hassles your save yourselves compared to the cheap Chinese clones are worth the “premium”.
Mind you, you can buy good used bikes for well below 500 USD. A new Wave 110i is just under 1100 USD in Thailand.
Not sure what’s scarier, a the sound of a little terror drone before an explosion. Or the silence, the feeling of security that there’s nothing on a recently cleared path and then seeing my mates vehicle blow up.
I suspect the failure rate goes up. Have you seen the video of the Russian AA missile pretending to be a boomerang 🪃 and flying back to its launch point?
Yup. One issue from long storage is that the fuel in solid fuel rockets can start to separate. Ryan McBeth did an explanation on a possible cause on that AA missile failure.
As you mentioned, some explosives also become unpredictable. The Takata airbags sending shrapnel into drivers faces comes to mind.
I know someone that would use a microwave to heat up food. But would literally run away from it whenever she used it and only come back after the set time passed.
I’m so conflicted over what happened there, and it’s only getting more complicated the more I know about it.
Essentially people just wanting to be left alone, but the country getting torn by multiple groups.
French colonizers who’s time was ending. The Soviets who took the opportunity to spread chaos to weaken the west and bring communism. The russians are doing similar shit now, particularly in Africa.
And the USA who wanted to stop that and get their influence over the country in an extremely brutal fashion.
Only to later to also have issues with the Khmer Rouge. Now China is encroaching onto them.
I tried wine recently to see if I can get Total Annihilation to work. I played with Wine in the mid 2000’s and gotten office 2003 to run on Suse then.
OMFG the mess when I recently tried to just run a simple exe that doesn’t even need a full installation.
Adobe sadly don’t just make Photoshop which is a remarkably good product. Even more so with their new features. I use Lightroom and nothing that exists for Linux comes close. All that needs some serious GPU integration.
DaVinci resolve is amazing and a real alternative to Premiere. The problem I see is binary compatibility. Even Linus admits that the Linux desktop has a problem with that.
I do have high hopes for web tech to evolve enough to make cross platform a thing again. Maybe ChromeOS will help there. VS Code is a good example here. With WebGl Vulkan in the browser and OpenCL that should become viable soon.
Is this a good deal? (lemmy.world)
Found when browsing Market-Place. Looks like a serious sellers. Although no mentioning of low-ballers and tyre kickers.
