Danke, mir ist schlecht.

Ach, das ist nicht das erste Mal.

Ich höre Elfriede schon keifen: “eS zIiIiIiiIeEeeEht!!!11!”

Ok, but which? Can you sue them if Galaxy, a free tool that they provide for convenience and that isn’t required for the actual service, doesn’t work, or if it breaks a game? Name one thing.

Of course it’s relevant. We need people who can’t charge at home (the vast majority) to switch to EVs.

Ok, wenn das durchgeht sind Söder, Merz, Linnemann, Lindner und Kubicki als nächstes dran, ja?

And do you think this is sustainable if we acknowledge the need to reach net 0 carbon?

How?

I have been looking into this as I’d like to switch. My current car needs roughly 6.5 liters of gas per 100km, gas where I live is around 1.70-1.80€/l, that’s around 11-11.70€/100km Somewhat reasonable EVs of similar size need something between 17-20 kWh/100 km, so break even should be between 55 - 68 cents/kWh.

Electricity at home is around 40 cents, so no solar roof required to save at least some money. (It’s actually more like 30-35 cents if you remember that you need to pay the monthly baseline anyway since you need power for your home).

Public charging heavily depends on the owner of the charger, but you can find AC charging below 60 cents. (I hope we’ll get some regulation against roaming costs between different companies at some point).

Fast charging is expensive and it depends on the individual use case if you need a lot of that. But gas on the highway is more expensive too, especially during holiday season (when a lot of people take longer trips).

But it’s true that the advantage isn’t as obvious as it should be, especially compared to the up front costs.

Is that the one where they trade the bottles of booze?

Keine Verwechslung. “Unterschreiben bevor die EU entschieden hat und damit Milliarden verschenken” war Scheuer, aber das schwachsinnige Konzept kommt ursprünglich von Dobby.

Der ist Amtsinhaber, nich Arbeitnehmer.

I have lots of free games from GOG. You don’t have to be a paying customer to use Galaxy.

Galaxy is free and not required. If it doesn’t work you can download games from the website (which I consider an important feature). I’m pretty sure you don’t have any rights whatsoever.

Buuut it also reinforces my point. The free open source solution works better than their in-house one.

I genuinely don’t get the “don’t pre order just buy the day it releases” thing.

Nobody ever said the second part.

Don’t pre order, wait for reviews a couple weeks after release, buy if reviews are good and no major bullshit is discovered.

What do you think you’re winning?

Avoiding the major bullshit.

Also, even if you did just buy day one: If developers have a lot of pre orders they know they’ll sell anyway they have less of an incentive to deliver the highest possible quality day one. That’s why people are telling you to not pre order. I could not care less if a stranger struggles with day one bugs, but they are helping to lower the bar for everyone else.

So does Galaxy?

Let’s say I have not yet had to do a full reinstall of Heroic and multiple associated games because something got unfixably (for my level of understanding) borked during an update.

Nah. Half of Europe is just 5-10 years behind the USA, as usual on pretty much any dystopian development.

Even fewer people game on Mac than on Linux (judging by the Steam survey). I bet it’s not that they can’t they just don’t care.

Heroic works better than Galaxy does in Windows. They should just pay the Heroic devs for their work and make that their official launcher.

In dem Sinn, dass es Fahrkarten auch weiter am Automaten oder Schalter geben sollte? Fände ich schon gut. In dem Sinne, dass Heinz und Elfriede nicht lernen müssen wie man auf der Arbeit statt Faxen E-Mails beantwortet? Eher nicht.

Liest sich hier anders.

Es gibt doch auch nicht ohne Grund eine Menge Stories von Leuten, die im Alter zurück wechseln wollen (und sogar Beratungswebsites, wie man das hinbekommt).

Der Beitragsanstieg bei PKV ist geringer als bei GKV, weil erstere einen Teil der Beiträge fürs alter zurücklegen.

Das ergibt keinen Sinn. Es gibt in der GKV keinen altersbedingten Beitragsanstieg.
