Not an expert but: tldr don’t.

Battery calibration is supposed to help the battery’s firmware figure out how low the battery can go. It also tends to hurt your battery, so you should avoid performing these calibrations and keep the charge between 20% and 80% as much as you can.

It seems what you’re trying to do is improve battery estimation by the OS on a new machine. And in that case, Is just trey trip love* I’d just try to live with possible insecurity of not knowing whether the machine has 15 or 25 minutes left.

Thanks!

No. Some societies demonize condoms. Some schools have chastity clubs. Even in relatively liberal societies, the pill and day-after pills are very often available on prescription only. Even in relatively liberal societies, hospitals may just not perform abortions for religious reasons.

Although I suspect you trying to be sarcastic: You’re welcome.

With politics, there’s always more than a single topic. And while the chat-control topic and its persistence sucks, keeping democratic structures in place, this can be rolled back at some point. If democratic structures are no longer in place, this is just going to prove a useful tool to whatever authoritarian is in charge.

There are many motivations why people organize in right-wing movements, but protecting civil liberties, democracy, or human rights are not any of them. At least not in any honest way. They may use these topics as part of scare tactics and to paint scapegoats.

You: “The EU is getting too authoritarian, let’s vote for more and more vile authoritarianism!”

I so have a slogan for Hungary’s next presidency: Hungary’s Yuropean Presidency Exults Rednecks

Contact me, Orban! I am committed to licensing this.

I never bothered with banking apps. (Outside of the virtual debit card app from my bank. That one did install successfully. However, I never got try out in store because it deleted my virtual card after a few days and I didn’t care enough to set it up again.)

I use Calyx on a Fairphone 4. It’s not totally degooglified, since it comes with MicroG which is used to connect to Google services. I use Aurora Store and a couple of original Google Apps like Gboard too (none of my Google apps can access the internet, since they’re behind the built-in firewall). It works well except call functionality which can be wonky and there’s the issue that a lot of apps from Play don’t work well with MicroG. I only use a small selection of Play apps though, so it doesn’t bother me too much.

This is so weird, not just in the Netherlands but in the UK as well: So many hardline anti-immigrant politicians are immigrants themselves or descendants of immigrants. Why?

X11 is not made with security in mind. At the point where you disable Wayland, you can basically use native apps rather than flatpaked apps.

LBBW is owned by The Länd the state of Baden-Württemberg. I.e., some of the money seized is tax money or at least public money. I think that’s why it’s newsworthy.

Not quite, at least according to the article, I guess— although it does depend on what form the confrontation took.

The candidate was attacked after confronting an individual who was trying to remove an election poster on Tuesday, officials said. The perpetrator injured the man with a carpet knife.

Habeck is a member of the Greens and the Greens are in fact rather sensible. They

a) have supported arming Ukraine (along with FDP, while SPD has dithered), almost from the start

b) are not at fault for the German Vote, rather that is the doing of FDP, silently supported by chancellor Scholz

Hungary’s government is gonna fit in much better with the EU crowd after the parliamentary elections next weekend, when droves of people will vote for the right-wing traitors of the ID and ECR factions. Yay!?

New nuclear reactors do not make sense as they routinely arrive late and massively over budget. They also steal away resources from cost-effective, realistic production with wind and solar. Also, CO2 is not the only environmental hazard there is: Humanity does not know how to safely store nuclear waste for hundred thousands of years.

Historically, reactors were sized like modern SMR concepts once. The issue was that they were even harder to secure and ratio of effort/benefit was worse than with fewer, larger reactors. Just like all nuclear projects, SMR construction will run behind schedule and outside of cost estimates, we’ve already seen that with the cancelled NuScale reactors in the US.

Governments need to stop throwing money at this deadbirth of a technology.

News websites often A/B test different headlines to see which one brings most clicks. In other words: Most online news articles have several different headlines associated with them.

Capitalist economies are not sustainable. That’s kind of their point: Line goes up, even though resources are finite (which economists conveniently ignore). Hence, they can’t be sustained ad infinitum. We’re all borrowing/stealing from somewhere, including from nature. (And the harder we believe in capitalism, the faster humanity will crash because resources are getting used up.)

Ultimately, money is a means to an end anyway: Making sure society functions well enough that everyone has food and shelter. Other than that, it’s just imaginary figures.

The word “robust” is working overtime in this article, that’s for sure.

Besides that, I’d argue this article is a nothingburger: Both the minister of defense and the chancellor are SPD (who view more military involvement as bringing more risk). Meanwhile, the FDP-led ministry of finance wants almost every ministry to save money, and are already asking the ministry of exterior and the ministry of developmental aid to cut spending next year. Lindner won’t outright force military spending cuts but he certainly won’t allow increases either. Budget hawkishness trumps military hawkishness in FDP.

The Greens have almost no say in all of this, they hold the ministry of the exterior, which is not really a position of power.

Overall, Germany is going to be as uninvolved and fiscally “prudent” as NATO partners will allow, no matter the thoughts of representatives without real influence (i.e. everyone interviewed for this article).

You have a point to some degree, yet I still think it is defensible to make this post. He majorly altered software

• downstream
• against user expectations
• for somewhat spurious reasons
• seemingly quite ad-hoc

He then went on to defend that decision in a less-than-graceful way before announcing there will be a second, new package.

But, to make it clear: I certainly don’t approve of hate directed toward him and I don’t have a personal issue with him.
