Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch’mangiate.

Something like that, I’m no Italian.

Because 12 and 60 are great numbers to divide. You can take a half of it, a third and a quarter and still get whole numbers.

Iirc the French did try decimal time at one time, it was not convenient.

Heh thanks for explaining it, I never knew if noon was 12am or 12pm. In German we say “11 in the morning”, “12 o Clock (noon*)” , and “1 o Clock (in the afternoon)”

But typically we don’t say whether it’s am or pm, it’s clear from context if “i need to be in the work meeting at 9”

Clocks, TV listings, my work timesheet read 24h times. We read 15:00 as “three” most of the time.

Btw some software tools (my timesheet for work) differnciate between 0:00 and 24:00. I can work (theoretically) from 0:00 to 8:00 (8h in the night to morning) and from 16:00 to 24:00 (8 hours from afternoon to midnight).

So 0:00 and 24:00 are the same moment but thought to belong to the next or previous say, respectively.

For an Esp32 you’d need to take a larger model which has psram. With the Pi, yes a is take a zero (Zero 2w or so). The Pi already has hdmi on board and a graphics chip and accelerator, while for the ESP32 you’d need a custom solution.

The price difference is maybe 10 Dollars per piece or so. On the PI I have 512Mb of RAM and what ever SD they put in for storage. On the Esp32 I have 8 psram or so and a tiny bit of flash.

Ah right, for the ESP i probably need to wire up a sd card, custom board, all that stuff, to just store that 24bit 1024x768bit image.

Naah, while I love my ESPs and am just build a project with one - the PI is just so more competent for this task while still being damn cheap.

A decent Esp 32 board is around Eur 5, a. pi zero 2w around 20. Compute module proably similar - customer prices.

That’s a 15 Euro difference.

Ah and my developer pool who can code for Unix is a LOT bigger than the pool who have commercial experience for the Esp32.

I can’t follow your math, at 100 units the price difference is 100x15 for me, which is 1500.- About a day of developing for a small team, if the office and hardware is free. More if you pay for those, too.

When I calculate, custom development always is more expensive.

This is being produced in relatively low numbers (thousands) , so software development is a factor. Just plopping a scripted browser in kiosk mode on Debian is cheaper than ESP32 UI development.

And is Long John Thomas a word?

Weird. Ich fand daa jetzt als Artikel und Rezension super zu lesen, würde mir aber dennoch so ein Buch nicht antun. Jedoch vielen Dank für den Post hier, war sehr lesenswert.

I’m reading this at 5am after I woke up at 4 for seemingly no reason.

Now try to get “clitoris” miles, but I’ll bet you’ll never find it.

It works by applied statistics.

When you littered before - with the old cap - you’d have two pieces of plastic, now they are connected and it’s only one piece.

I’m only mildy annoyed by the new lids and got used to them, but it’s the bottle cap regulation is one of those that’s purely better for statistics.

It reduces littering by bottles to around half, just because we count the pieces differently now.

Maybe we should better just start taxing by the amount of plastic used in food packaging, as a lot of the packages get bigger and bigger just to display the contents more visibility.

Trump applies Chinese outsourcing.

Wait, Italians also meme about the Pissplatte?

GROAAAAAAN.

Die Sache ist halt die - vor Gericht müssen Dinge bewiesen werden, d. h. wenn man auch nur halbwegs eine halbscharige Geschichte konstruieren kann, warum es “anders” war kommt man davon.

Am Ende ist das auch eine gute Sache, dass wir diesen strengen Regeln folgen um nicht möglicherweise Unschuldige zu verurteilen, auch - wenn wie hier - so offensichtlich ein Arschloch sich rauswinden kann.

Das ist oft frustrierend, weil es ungerecht wirkt. Schützt aber (zum Teil) vor politisch motivierten Urteilen.

Yes, I agree, so as Vlad learned even if you leave them on the ground and put tires on them so they don’t fly off, something might come along and successfully migrate around 40 of them to the cloud.

For the F35 unfortunately a lot of its capabilities seems to be cloud based. (At least for maintenence, I don’t know of on the air).

That’s why I’m angry my stupid government still has wants to buy the stupid things instead of sitting this generation out and going to an own 6gen aircraft.

Scheiße, als alter Sack hab ich jetzt nen Ohrwurm. Ich hatte damals die Platte.

Haha, already there. I canceled my Netflix a year ago or so after the amount of cheap self produced stuff got too much and they removed more and more older quality content.

Now, whenever I want to stream I sign up for a single streaming service for a month or two - but the time where I was just subscribed all the time is over.

Ah one reason also was the sharing crackdown, I had kept the subscription long term as my kids used it when they were at my place or my ex-wife’s. Nowadays it doesn’t work anymore as (for example) the TV my son has at the ex-wife’s place never is connected via my internet.

With added commercials, less quality etc streaming got less attractive. Hey, nowadays I regularly go to movie theaters, again.

And if things get worse, somewhere I still have my captain’s hat and the wooden leg for sailing the seven seas…

Was zum fick.

When I was a kid, it was forbidden to peruse DHMO during class, regardless how bad the withdrawal symptoms were.
