Comment Pine okay, pinephone sucks though (Score 1) 144

We have a laptop from Pine that's working okay.
So I bought a braveheart edition of the pinephone.
Battery life was a big problem.
Since a few days, the charging makes a clicking sound and battery won't charge.
Everybody in the family is happy with their Sony Xperia Jolla phones so we don't bother to shop at Pine anymore.

Comment Neal Stephenson works hard (Score 1) 133

You can like the guy's books - or not.
Essentially they are the product of labour.
Neal in my opinion is a researcher, who makes up stories by connecting dots.
I guess I just said that Neal Stephenson is only interested in this process, works hard while at it and has no time (nor interest) in delivering a project like bitcoin.

Comment Running windows 10 with Awingu (Score 1) 357

Also considering to install Igel on the clients.
Let me be clear we're still trying to manage that Awingu thing conveniently because it's not exactly managed with templating like Citrix.
We have to because of funny security standards in contracts with clients.

Comment Hydrogen fairy tales revving up in Belgium (Score 1, Troll) 96

A month ago the Belgian media suddenly started churning out news bouts how hydrogen "could save us" (see bible for other stories).
I will not deny that hydrogen has a good potential for storing energy - although at very low efficiency.
The only thing I like about this fairy tale is that the professors in the old lab where I once was a technician, and where I found my wife, finally started working together.
20 panels of 1.65m to provide energy for one house and a little hydrogen storage somewhere against cost of panels and storage = fairy tale.

Comment Corrupt "je pense donc je suis" already (Score 2) 147

"J'ai un compte sur Twitter donc je suis"
Translation: I have an account on Twitter so I am.
Try to explain Levinas "alterity" (otherness) to those kids and first thing that will cross their mind is if he ever got a "like" on Facebook.
Or confirmation of scientific theories by the amount of followers on the account of the researcher...
