  • Thanks, yes that would be an option.

    Any place to donate old IT equipment?

    I was wondering if you guys know a place or organization in Switzerland, who collects old it equipment like computers, laptops and monitors and donates them for a good cause? I'm working on a project where we will replace most of the devices and will have some old ones, which otherwise would go to the recycling station.

  • Does it have to? If they plan to regulate greenwashing, their draft will probably provide the information needed.

  • Should basically be possible with all of them. It could be that some ports are blocked by the provider, but this shouldn't be an issue.

  • I know about Swisscom, UPC (Sunrise Cable), Sunrise. As far as i know, you can do port-forwarding on all of them. But mostly it is just plain port-forwarding and not much more. Really depends on what you like to do.

  • Personally I don't think it is a bad thing. as long as it is oss, i think it is fine.

  • Even better: Abandon Chrome and switch to Firefox

  • I dont' use it myself but saw them a couple of times promoted on daydeal, the myStrom WiFi-Switch V2

    Edit: Typo

    The Beehaw project is considering leaving the Fediverse because of some significant challenges

  • I suspect that there is a certain combination of mountain stone, oxygen, melted water that can contribute into the creation of radioactive gases, but this is not more than a wild guess. Maybe someone really knows something about this.

  • I’m guessing that too, but it would be great to know without having to call…

    I understand. I guess one way would be to bring s spare battery with you. I can imagine, that a lot of restaurants and maybe gas stations would be happy to help, if you're in trouble of running out of battery power.

    Also, i found this site, which seems to have some info on EV stations, were you can filter the power plug type, maybe it helps evpass.ch

  • Do you plan to stay at an hotel/hostel or homestay? Maybe you could ask there if it would be possible to charge your e-bike. Since i do not drive an EV, it may be possible at some EV / gas stations as well, but this is just a guess.

  • Probably runs on excatly such systems.

    Edit: wait does this allow people to vote from home?..

    Yes it does.

  • Yes, i think they're in need of motivated devs go bring the code up to date and advance it even further. Edit: Typo

  • Sadly, it is not actively maintained right now.

  • The result will probably be open as their db /s

  • VPN servers that run from RAM

    Basically it runs just in the memory and does not store information on a hard disk, so your information is only temporary in the memory and will vanish as soon as the server reboots or shuts down. I don't know if they have others, you can maybe ask support or maybe there is something on their site.

    Here is an interesting article i found from privacyaffairs dot com

  • Copilot is as far as i know basically bundled with the os, so with everything.

  • My guess is, they killing cortana because of their copilot software, which is basically the same - but better. They would heave to maintain basically the same product, so they dumped it.

    As i see it, using a computer, smartphone or any other device with your voice has a lot of benefits and is used a lot around the world. But it is used in a different scenario than a mouse/keyboard is used and i'm pretty sure they are aware of it. Even they don't see people sitting at their desk talking to their computer all day long.

    I agree, they will probably kill off copilot in the next few OS and replace it with something different. They want to be competitive with software from other vendors, so they jump to the "next new thing".

  • That's terrible. And as usual, the main argument will be: "protection against the baddis". And since goverment-it is usually rather bad they will open the gates to everyone

  • Got it, thanks for clarifying.

  • Which names? Did we read a different article?

    Any sysadmins or devs here?

    Did you find some good communities for sysadmin and/or programming?

    Would you be interested in having a community here on feddit.ch to discuss some sysadmin or dev related stuff?

    EU will require removable batteries from 2027

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1397803

    It had been in the works for a while, but now it has formally been adopted. From the article:

    The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user, leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement.

    Any good alternatives to youtube?

    I don't really like the way youtube has turned into a moneymaking cashcow with lots of ads.
