It was dial-up service and web site. It wasn’t very big, but i think it was around for some time. This is the best i could find: https://variety.com/1995/digital/features/europe-online-gets-at-amp-t-dialtone-99124960/

Enshittification company buys the O.G. enshittification

I believe Europe Online was a service about the time when AOL was a thing

Bill, stop trying to make nuclear happen. It’s not unlimited free energy. It’s not going to greenwash AI and besides AI is not going to fix the world.

Renewables are here to stay and solar is as close as we will get to ‘free’ energy.

You can eat it. Proof: me.

Du verstehst Ironie?

Warum so eine komplizierte Erklärung? Nur weil den Faschos das Ergebnis nicht gefällt, ist nicht die Methodik kaputt.

US-American.

Unfortunately most the so-called west is toast when the US fails. From Military to Cloud all US-dominated.

Nomen est omen

Gut, wenn Schweizer jetzt schon fast einen Euro fürs Brot berappen müssen, wäre eine Weihnachtsfeier mit alkolfreiem Aldi-Sekt auch vulgär. Denkt denn niemand daran wie die Herren (gendern nicht nötig) am Paradeplatz sich fühlen.

You staged the photograph or Todenhoefer?

Clearly not a popular person in Germany and not someone you should follow.

Selection process

The department expects a high volume of applications and it will not be possible to provide funding to all eligible applicants.

Selection will be a non-competitive process. Once an applicant satisfies the eligibility criteria they will be included in an anonymised random sampling process to determine the pilot participants from the pool of eligible applicants for the BIA Pilot.

Funding for the scheme will allow for approximately 2,000 eligible applicants to participate in the pilot scheme.

Beim Wählen bitte dran denken, dass er euch meint und im Interesse eurer kinder weg muss.

I have also an Epson EcoTank and rarely use it, but it works.

With modern tech, my best idea would be a bluetooth speaker with a remote control with physical buttons. If someone connects this to smartphone or tablet, she can start/stop, loud/quiet, forward/backward skip from the remote. This should work with any music or audiobook player, if she has occasional assistant to navigate the actual app.

But I have to agree with others. A radio is probably better. It’s an all-in-one device made for the purpose, no frills.

Klar, da ich ab und zu heimlich bei reddit mitlese, wüsste ich aber gerne, welches Produkt gemeint ist, wenn sie dort von Amumbo sprechen.

Well, what we mean by “on the same network” maybe more complicated then it sounds if a device has multiple network interfaces and a non-trivial routing such as any modern smartphone that smartly switches between wifi and cell. It’s plausible that various apps and devices have a different behaviour which network they treat as local/standard.

However, I just tried it out with two Samsung Androids. One is a hotspot and has no other wifi. The other one uses the hotspot (and no other wifi obviously). Then lauching pairdrop, they can “see each other” (through broadcast packages I assume) on the local network. During testing the hotspot device had internet access through 5G, so both devices could reach paridrop.net, but I believe, this is not needed while in local network mode. At least the file transfer itself should not go through the internet in this mode.

I had similar a similar experience with syncthing. Sure, the hotspot is a hack and neither super reliable nor super fast on most phones, but at least my phone does not seem to block access from/to the hotspot device.

Is this really a showstopper? You could use a hotspot.

Just dropping https://pairdrop.net/ here. Works on the same network or via the internet. There is an app, but it would also work in the browser on literally any device.

The cartridges are a HP design. The CC license is the smallest problem here.

It’s a thing. Print shops use these to print different formats, usually for size > office paper. I checked on DDG and could easily find a supplier in my country for sizes the fit the OpenPrinter. Not sure if the paper roll is cheaper or more convenient, given that you have to order from specialized stores, but certainly it’s a great idea.
