  • Jesus Christ, whoever wrote this “article” has no idea what they’re talking about. The researchers achieved sub-zero temperatures with a solid refrigerant, which is impressive. It has however absolutely nothing to do with climate change, because the heat still has to go somewhere. And the point that gas refrigerants are horrible greenhouse gases is not generally true anymore. Most new systems use gases as refrigerants that have equal or less impact on the atmosphere than co2 if they’re released into the atmosphere. And that only happens if the loop is damaged, under normal operation it should stay sealed.



  • One aspect I haven’t seen mentioned yet is the rise of local premium cola brands in recent years. Brands like Fritz Kola, Afri Cola and Mio Mio have taken a significant chunk out of Coca colas marketshare without competing on price. Instead, they focus on standout features like higher caffeine levels, local bottling in reusable glass bottles, and/or organic ingredients. And since it’s working, more and more companies are jumping on the bandwagon, like the red bull, the brewery Flensburger and even some localised water bottling brands all offer their own colas now.

    In light of this, this advertising campaign from coca cola feels like a desperate move to me.





  • I’m running 1.0.6 apparently. It simply didn’t occur to me to update it, since it’s not connected to the internet and worked fine out of the box for me.

    I’d consider the performance quite good given the low price. Sure there are faster printers out there, but with the default profile in orca slicer it can do a benchy in ~50 minutes which is good enough for me. And quality wise the prints seem to be on par with what other people are producing with much more expensive printers.

    What’s missing are some comfort features: no runout sensor, no failed print detection and no network connectivity mean that printing is a relatively manual process and it’s “risky” to do long prints unsupervised, because this thing will happily produce spaghetti until the gcode is done.


  • I have an Ender 3 V3 SE, never did a firmware update and haven’t had any issues with bed levelling. The auto calibration does its job pretty reliably for me. However, mine had some issues with the gantry being at not quite right angle. It could still print, but it got much better after printing and inserting the appropriate shims under the z-rail mounts.




  • Wie immer bei diesen alternativen Zahlungsdiensten: Welchen Grund hat der Endbenutzer, um von PayPal & Co zu diesem zu wechseln? Einfach nur “europäisch” zu sein reicht nicht, das interessiert die meisten einfach nicht. Und die gleichen Features wie PayPal zu haben reicht auch nicht, weil man sich dafür nicht den Aufwand macht, sich damit zu beschäftigen.

    Dann kommt dazu, dass das in die Banking-Apps integriert werden soll, also keinen Alleinstellungs- und Wiedererkennungswert haben wird. Ich befürchte sogar, dass es in der Benutzung ziemlich schlecht sein wird, gerade weil die meisten Banking-Apps nicht gerade berauschend in der Benutzung sind.

    Wenn sich an dem Konzept nichts ändert oder nicht andere signifikante Incentives geschaffen werden, wird das ein Rohrkrepierer werden.

    Kann Tuxedo nicht empfehlen. Hab aktuell selber einen, aber würde ich nicht nochmal kaufen. Tastatur ist ziemlich schlecht, die Treiber sind sehr instabil (wer möchte nicht, dass aus heiterem Himmel die Lüfter auf Vollgas gehen und die Tastaturbeleuchtung ausfällt?) und die Akkus werden verlässlich nach 1,5 Jahren zum würzigen Kissen.





  • VW has utterly failed to deliver EVs people actually want to buy. They are expensive, have lower quality interiors compared to their combustion brethren, lag behind in infotainment/connectivity compared to other EVs (especially Chinese ones, which is one market VW was betting heavily on) and in terms of range and charging speed they’re also behind their competitors. At least here in Germany it seems like they padded their order books with deliveries to car sharing, rental and taxi companies, looking at how many ID3s and ID4s are present there. It wouldn’t surprise me if they offered massive discounts in hopes of generating demand from private buyers, but that didn’t work out and the fleet market is simply saturated now.
