No legal advice, but I am pretty sure picking an apple from a tree in a public space (but can be privately owned) for direct consumption is legal in Germany. Weird but understandable that you need a law for that.

At a supermarket they once restarted the scale in the vegetable section and it was on Windows 8. It literally took 5 minutes. I dont know why they dont use Linux…

I only watched the German version, but I never knew that the character was based on a real person.

One of my favorite songs since I saw them live at the Hurricane festival 2010! Thanks for posting!

Is this picture photoshopped or from a real plain accident?

So many tweets are faked as screenshots to spread misinformation. I don't know if this post is for real or a joke. So please provide links (via the wayback machine).

Sources of those tweets?

Okay, understood. May be SteamOS was the incorrect wording. I meant the Linux Kernel, Arch, Proton. I am assuming most changes are related to hardware and software compatibility which should all be open source.

Yes, thats how Open Source works or they can keep paying Windows. Asus knows their hardware much better than Valve does and has a much bigger interest in a good user experience, but currently lacks the incentive, because Windows is a „good“ paid alternative. Honestly I don't understand all the downvotes.

Valve shouldn't give their blessing to SteamOS on the Ally. That should be Asus‘ job. However they could give Asus a cut on every game sold through their device on SteamOS (like a few percent). That would make it much more financially interesting for Asus and they might put an official team behind it, to support SteamOS.

This is so cool! I will definitely get one, when they are available 😊 (May be with the Coolermaster Case once I used it „enough“ in my laptop)

Ford says the Level 2 “hands-off, eyes-on” advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) is now also the most widely available system of its kind in Europe.

I don't know the capabilities of this system, but most systems can already do this. It is essentially adaptive cruise control and lane assist, but the driver still needs to pay attention. The problem ist that many people will slack off and not pay attention. I like the traffic jam assist of Mercedes much more. It is Level 3 and the driver does not need to pay attention under 60 kph.

The electric automobile is as old as the automobile itself. However back then batteries were way way worse, so the combustion engine won the race back then.

I know that this was probably a joke, but here is how the full curve looks like:

(As in the original post mind the logarithmic scale on y-axis)

Thats false! There is already a link to the wikipedia article, but here is the relevant quote: „but uses hardware restrictions or digital rights management (DRM) to prevent users from running modified versions of the software on that hardware.“

It is not a violation of the GPL 2, the license of the Linux kernel, but only the GPL 3 which was basically created for this case. Linus Torvalds is a big defender of the GPL 2 and said that Tivo provided good patches for the hardware they used.

(”obviously“ sarcasm)

I didnt even think about it, but looking it up „a European“ is correct. It‘s not about the letter, but the sound.

Has anyone tried it? I am thinking about using it on some Raspberry Pi 5.

Source?

It would be so cool to be able to generate these with AI models from OSM data. I did some experiments with Stable Diffusion and they turned out okay, but you have to decide between accuracy and style.
