Yup, pommes de terre. In Dutch is “aardappel”, which is more literally earthapple. But I will add, the apple part isn’t referring to the fruit, but means more like “a spherical object”.
Also the French used aardappel to create the word pomme de terre for it in 1716, as they couldn’t pronounce the Dutch word.
I’m with you but I wouldn’t trust search results that point me to a 3rd party tool to do whatever I need to do. Unless the link in question is actually well known and I’ve just been living under a rock, then don’t mind me
“The problem is that for Russian developers, communication with the community, including the international one, and technical support are implemented through Discord,”
Well that’s their problem, isn’t it? It’s also a problem over here. Technical support regarding simple questions is fine, but any in-depth troubleshooting should honestly be done outside of Discord.
Ah I should have checked that, yeah. That will bump up the average by quite a bit. Thanks for the logic to my conspiracies, I should have known better
Can we pin this post as an example kthnx
My Asus laptop draws (a maximum of) 200W as far as I can tell.
This is not my model but here’s the tech sheet for a different one: https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-gaming/tuf-gaming/asus-tuf-gaming-a14-2024/techspec/
It’s only 30 people that have pledged the $14,670. This almost averages to $500 per backer, which is a lot higher than the global average.
My theory? They are arranging the pledges themselves to make it look like they are desired.
This might shock you, but Nintendo was also working on the Switch before it was revealed
In this case by hitting create post, it triggers the permissions for mic/camera because it tries to activate them.
As to why, it’s probably because they want you to create videos, so it defaults to that when trying to create a post. And then in there, you can go for a text post instead. But I don’t use Instagram so I don’t know if anyone who does can confirm that.
Nintendo said they will announce/reveal something this fiscal year, that’s it. No word about launch.
The rest are just rumours and just a bunch of dudebro’s who replaced 2023 with 2024, and now have to scribble in 2025 pretending they never said they were 99% sure it was releasing earlier.
Ohh! As a European I do know the difference between those two types. It just didn’t click that they got it wrong, I thought they had the feathers wrong (like part of the wrong native American tribe or something)
As a European I will admit I have no idea what’s “wrong” with the picture. Other than it just looking like a mouthpiece for people instead of actually reporting things
If done well it’s called constructive feedback, not bad communication.
The problem is that many folks feel like it’s the only feedback tool in the toolbox, and the praises can seem less sincere over time, as some managers think they need to find something positive every single time. This can make it less efficient or sincere, so it’s good to have some variety.
I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but they are basically saying that you wouldn’t be a good fit with the team.
Now as for the exact reasoning they will probably not tell you, as ambiguous rejections are easier to manage. But to me that sounds like they think you need guidance / support that they cannot offer (read: don’t have the budget for).
Not saying I agree with any of it, mind you. Just giving my interpretation
I did not know that existed! Wiki link for those interested.
Apparently the recognition of handwriting was quite bad. I wonder how many still exist
Until a headset is as unobtrusive as a pair of eyeglasses it will not see mass appeal,
You mean like Google Glass? I don’t think that went anywhere either.
It would not be the first time they put out a massively expensive and wholly useless product decades ahead of its need.
Do you have any examples? Massively expensive is always the case, but I can’t think of a product that Apple launched that was decades ahead of its need.
Nice video. Its funny how he ends it with saying not clicking on the ads. Apps with in-game ads can actually click through for you, so you end up on the store page without any user input. That feels illegal.
I have been entertaining the idea of making a video about these ads as well, in the form of what’s being advertised and what’s actually in the game. Also the claims they make in the ads should be scrutinized. I want to raise awareness for these types of ads because reporting them to Google won’t do anything and is notoriously hard (a dark pattern in itself, very convenient to Google).
Would there be any interest in videos like this? I have a bunch of ads recorded that are questionable as fuck and it might be a very depressing journey.
It’s funny how Dutch doesn’t shy away from loaning French words, despite the difference. Examples are chauffeur, etalage, cadeau, auto and medaille.
I don’t agree that aardappel is hard to pronounce in general if you’re an English speaker though. Check it out: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/aardappel
