Mix ketchup, mayo and throw in some diced onion. It's very popular with fries in Germany "Pommes Spezial".

Castle in the Sky. I just recently started watching some Studio Ghibli films, with Castle in the Sky blowing me away with a simple, but amazing story, concept and beautiful execution. Hayao Miyazaki is a genius.

For the people who are still aliiiiiiiive

Using a sheet of paper right now, am in the process of switching to a self-written password manager. It uses Vigenere encryption using a key that is not saved anywhere (that I have to remember) and saves to a .dat file. Should I use my own tool or a service?

I don't want to run a server for selfhosting, so I just have my library (about 300GB of mostly OPUS files) On my pc and on a 512GB microSD card in my phone.

I use Foobar2000 on PC and Poweramp on Android.

I'm going to say that today, even on lower-end phones, the screen, processor and camera are all pretty decent.

I have a Motorola G31, which cost about 200€ one year ago, when I got it. It has a Micro SD Card Slot and a headphone jack. The screen is plenty good (1440p,60hz) (why would you need 120hz or 4k on a phone) And the camera is also quite nice. It has no fancy features, but it takes pictures and that's all I need.

From my perspective, flagship phones are impractical and overpriced to say the least.

agree, and not just for 3,5mm jacks. If there is a way to do it with a cable, i will choose the cable instead of a wireless solution. The only time I didn't was with a wireless mouse that, after a while, I just kept on the cable anyway. They are so very convenient, especially the 3,5mm jack.

True that. Inspiration comes at the weirdest times.

I too can vouch for Motorola. I have the 200$ G31 and it's got a headphone jack and micro-sd-slot. I'm very pleased with its quality and performance so far, and hope it lasts some years to come.

Very yes.

I'm currently in the process of trying to 100% Cat Quest, since I already have all achievements on Cat Quest 2, before Part 3 comes out this august. Very much enjoyed the first two games, so I recommend as well :)

Various Building code violations, possession of dangerous chemicals, Code violations concerning nuclear reactors, unauthorized mining. Possibly poaching wildlife. Minecraft: All The Mods 9. I'm not very far into it yet, so there's probably a lot of stuff coming on top of that soon.

Now, these points of data make a beautiful line

So I'm GLaD I got burned, think of all the things we learned

Love my G31 as a daily driver and Music player. Does all it needs to, and for a very reasonable price. Also, has a headphone jack and an SD card slot :)

Thanks so much for this! I used to use a DE-ISO Layout with my old (first) keyboard, have now switched to ANSI with my first custom-mechanical keyboard and missed the special characters. This fixes everything, so thanks again :)

Depends on the Quality setting and version of jpeg. Even the original jpeg, on high quality, will result in little to no data loss. IIRC, Jpeg can even do lossless, with the only caveat being that it doesn't save alpha channels (but screenshots don't need to have transparency, anyway). Newer versions of jpeg, such as jpeg-2000 (and the much less broadly supported jpeg-XL) have much better compression and provide higher image quality at lower file size.

"jpegification" or "Deep-frying" only really occurs with the original jpeg at low quality settings.

I want to embrace discussion here. Please specify these "many ways".

I use the USB-C Port of my phone regularly to connect it to my PC and move images from my Phone to my PC and copy music files from my PC to my phone's Micro-SD card. I wouldn't consider myself a "pro" in either of these fields, yet I have moved hundreds of Gigabytes of data this way. I also use my phone's 3.5 millimeter audio port with headphones, IEMs or speakers all the time.

In general, I trust cables way more than I trust any wireless solutions.

I have a Micro-SD-Card slot, a 3.5 mil connector and a USB-C-Connector and I find all of those essential (would never buy a phone without one of these).

My phone is a Motorola Moto G31. Costs 170€. Served me well for over a year now, I'm hoping it will for some more years. It's not particularly "fancy", but it's a good product that does everything I need it to. It even has a quite nice battery life :)

Now, to I-Phones. I think it would be fair for a 1000! Dollar Device to include USB3 Speeds. If the pro can do it, why can't the non-pro?

Thanks for the response, I understand your points better now. I still think that 699$ is a lot of money for a device that doesn't support USB3 speeds, but then again, that's just "apple tax". Which doesn't mean I'm against the "feature-funneling" method you described, that definetely has a lot of advantages.

Same thing with HP. Their "Pavillion" series of Towers contains a proprietary motherboard and power supply. Also, on the model a friend of mine had, the CPU was AMD, but the cooler scewed on top was designed for intel-purposed boards, so it looked kinda frankensteined.

So in essence, it's the same with HP.

I wrote my own password manager about a year ago, in java. It uses Vigenère encryption using a key the computer doesn't remember (that you have to write down somewhere). I still don't actually use it in my daily life, firefoxes password manager is pretty convenient and I'm pretty lazy...

Yes, I think so. You can definitely view them in plaintext, And you can export them, too.
