yeah though in some countries employees were still protected from usage of such software or the usage had to be confirmed and agreed. This seems like it could be used as a loophole

Also scared how companies might use it to control their employees

i think the Gamepass shines the most for coop games. If you have a friend group you regularly play games with it there can be an issue of the different spending habits and willingness to buy games between everyone. Often one person will try to motivate others to get a game and than it gets played a few times and shelved.

The advantage of sports games is probably that most can be played coop, also there is a huge playerbase there that loves to buy lootboxes. Easy way to get whole friendsgroups signed up. I myself dont really like sportsgames that much, at least not if they are by EA.

Though I do hope that gamepass keeps getting more coop games. Especially more couch, casual and partygames. They do already have lots of survival and crafting games so far, which is great.

It’s beautiful, but there was a good chance to get stuck everywhere in cars without all-wheel drive. In my neighborhood the snow services dont run through to remove the snow from road and parkings, so you have to do it by hand. Took 3 hours to free our house with 2 people and there was not much place left to shovel the snow too. Over night the temperatures dropped to ~ -12°C so everything is frozen now too. Can’t imagine what 70 cm in a day would be like. This was probably the highest single day snowfall i experienced, the only comparable time was i think in 2005

But yeah has been a while since i last saw a white christmas. Nowadays the most snowfall seems to happen in february/march

You might want to replace that it with not. Like that it sounds like tge traps do harm the animals

They explain that in the article. Light barely gets absorbed in water, which is why you can see several meters deep in water. Only the absorbed part can turn into heat.

They measured an effect that partly evaporates water more efficiently than the heat influx can. The theory mentioned in the article is, that light directly knocks out water molecules at the water/air surface boundary. The measured effect was the most effective with light of a green wavelength

Is the company Microsoft?

at least it’s on gamepass

Ich auch. Hat mich schon gewundert wieso die deutsche community plötzlich so tot ist

devs want to add the possibility to remove custom multiplayer characters in the future, but it seems it is not included in this patch yet

This patch doesn’t yet allow the removal of custom multiplayer characters from a party right?

yeah searching for it, there seem to be certification institutes and audits. The system is quite nicely explained in this video: https://youtu.be/YQ2GOtpYiqk

in germany most plastic bottles are reused several times through a deposit system and after reaching a limit they are almost completely recycled. Always wonder why other countries can’t seem to be able to use a similar system

The CEO was on the sub

So lemmy.world lets you just copypaste images directly from your snipping tool and hosts them on lemmy.world/pictrs

Kbin sadly does not do this, no idea if other lemmy instances do this

Too bad the Titanic is below 3000 Meters, we know he won’t pass 3

For most phones I used the batteries were ok for ~2 years, but i still kept using them for 1-2 more years.

But longer usage times of the batteries also means that they need less charge cycles also not fully charging and slow charging will also maintain the battery life better. In total my phone should have half the amount of charge cycles in a year compared to my previous phones.

I do believe that this time my phone battery will probably hold out over the complete device lifetime for once.

A year ago I would have been absolutely for this. I mean I still had a smartphone with swappable battery (LG G4) 2015-2019 and only changed away from it because of the bootloop issues this phone had.

Though last year i switched to the Zenphone 9 and this phone has a phenomenal battery time in my eyes. I only slow charge it to 80% every 2 days and I could use the phone for more than 48h if i wanted. Fully charged i can use it for 3 days. I don’t think i will see battery issues for a long time.

I could see that some future phone designs and technologies (like bendable phones) would have it difficult to include swappable batteries. I wonder if those could still use fixed batteries if they offer a free replacement each year or sth like that, instead. The USB-C changes are good for sure though

So I took the data from the blackout.photon-reddit site source.

It seems that it makes a Reddit Api call every Minute searching the newest Post and Comment and calculates both per Minute rates.

I wanted to see the effect the Blackout had over the day, so I summed the data and plotted it: Seems like between 11th and 12th June the comments/day diminished by -19.2%. The posts/day saw a decline of -8.9%

The sub with the most Activity was probably Askreddit

Outlast Trials is the big coop fun surprise of the year for me. You can also still buy it 25% off on epic for like 20€ until today.

People should not ignore this game cause it is from the outlast series. This game has way less jumpscares and its more about the tension of being chased all the time. Also way less scary in coop than in solo. It’s more like Deadbydaylight meets L4D2 mobs. Level and Character Design reminds me off Bioshock. The coop fun is comparable to Phasmophobia, just less scary but more tense
