There’s loads of drugs in tokyo and ample opportunities to get robbed or beaten up every day of the week and the police doesn’t give one crap as long as they only target foreigners.

Fucked up country I wish for the people to be free one day from their current fascist leaders.


I have visited Tokyo and never once felt unsafe. I cannot say the same for cities of similar size in the west. Never experienced aggressive youths on the street or drug addicts, which are things I have to navigate here.

playground for westerners

Nice! I have been struggling to make friends at my current gym after moving to a new country, people seem way less friendly at just this gym which feels weird. Debating switching gyms because of it.

For socializing i usually go out dancing, long raves are usually good and gay guys are often very happy to talk, probably helps that I take my shirt off. Just need to keep out from the dark room from now on.


Similar to when koenigsegg attempted to purchase saab, it can be a great way to get publicity.

I really loved my 9-3 turbo...


This article completely omits a section on when external accreditation. For many products you can get CE marking or similar with in-house testing.

As far as I can tell, this distinction is mostly meaningless in practice.

Most people are going to want to sell their products on an international market, which essentially means designing and testing it to the strictest rules any country uses and just having to do a whole bunch of paperwork for the rest: getting a lab to do both FCC and CE is not significantly more expensive than either one on its own. And because FCC requires external testing, that means doing external testing.

Besides, although CE is technically a self-declaration that you follow the relevant rules, it still requires you to be able to demonstrate that you follow those rules - which means you have to test and report on a level comparable to an external lab, which means building a testing lab with a price tag comparable to a very nice home, and doing all the annoying paperwork like having your equipment regularly tested and calibrated. You are allowed to do it in-house, but is it worth it?


Yeah, this article is really focused on FCC certification. But to your point, there are other sections on the site that are focused on CE certification and how to navigate getting certified so you can sell throughout the world.

Yes thats evidently clear but you usually don’t need external accreditation if you do in house testing and keep a compliance file for the product, this applies for both the US and EU.

In-house emc testing is quite fun and you dont need much more than a spectrum analyzer, antenna and E/H-field probes.


In-house EMC testing is practically always required before you go to an external lab, unless you want to waste a lot of money by discovering at the lab that your device cannot be certified.

When done just for this purpose, it can be done much more cheaply than at a proper lab, because you do not need very accurate results.


Well there's a bit more to it than that. It depends on if you're making an intentional radiator. I have another flow chart on the site that helps you figure out if you need to send your device to a testing lab or not.

> Users who want to downgrade or sideload a specific firmware version can do so using Sony's official reinstall process with the correct PUP file.

this is not true, you can only upgrade using a PUP not downgrade.

Super excited for this, havent been involved since the bd-jb exploit and finally i can use my ps5 the way i want to.


Added to my list of reasons to never use btrfs in production.


that part really didn’t make sense to me. This is true for all desktop platforms.


I agree, although I was talking about:

    Dead silence. Here's what 3 people said (the opposite of silence). Then the meeting went sideways (also the opposite of silence).

    The silence is the story.
WHAT SILENCE?


In a more generous interpretation, there was silence, _then_ people said something. That makes sense.

But "That silence is the story." is still a pretty telling non-sequitr, and it doesn't seem like the kind that comes from sloppy editing.

The punchy "Thing. Thing. Thing." is used constantly. We see it constantly in this article:

> 852 pages. Win16 API in C.

> Message loops. Window procedures. GDI.

> One OS, one API, one language, one book.

But those are minor sins. But in the end of the article, Snover states that Microsoft pitched C++ in 2012. That's so incorrect! The contents of this blog post are at least partially falsified.

Plus, the thesis statement is nonsense:

> When a platform can’t answer “how should I build a UI?” in under ten seconds, it has failed its developers. Full stop.

"Full stop" is a pretty heavy thing to end a nonsense statement with. How an inanimate software platform can "answer" things is not implicitly obvious, either. Is it a human representative? Are they the docs? Is it through a good UI?

The post is about Petzold's / Reccold's "Programming Windows", but it is apparently 852 pages, so that certainly wasn't answered in under 10 seconds either.


He immediately said they never did make a decision, so probably that indecision.

Having said that, this article feels like AI slop to me. Couldn’t get through it.


Just have a look at the final picture if you're unsure if it's slop


You should see his ferrari.


seems like a lot of drama in the open source document space, this seems unrelated to the OnlyOffice fork [1]. Interesting future ahead!

It's related in the sense that the EU push to free software office is what precipitated all this drama.


seems like they’re quite against it going by what i found on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/searchandrescue/comments/1d63v94/wh...
