Aber droht das wirklich in Thüringen? Und können die Explodierer nicht einfach komerzielle Stationen hören?

Was ist denn passiert? Gibt es wirklich keinen öffentlichrechtlichen Rundfunk mehr?

Look up the largest stadium in the world, Strahov in Prague, that hosted the Communist “Spartakiad” parade every May 1st. Almost every performer and attendee arrived via the high-capacity tram and bus terminal Smyčka Dlabačov, often after taking a train and the metro. As a result, the parking lot is absolutely tiny.

I watched the program at lunch and saw no attribution anywhere. The shots are all stable and sharp, and the camera must have had a big heavy lens judging by the zoom and depth of field, and the smoothness of moving shots. There is no giveaway such as a ČT microphone in an interview but I think I’ve made my case with >90% certainty.

ČT is pretty credible and does not use other people’s footage without attribution. It’s most likely their crew filmed this. And isn’t Radegast also sold in Poland?

Yup, it’s the Czech Republic. The footage was taken by ČT (See today’s Otázky Václava Moravce at 26:13, filmed at Stolařství Milan Klega, Proskovická 213, Ostrava-Stará Bělá)

Dieses kitschiges Kontrast und Naturelemente erinnern mich von Frutiger Aero (z. B. Fenster 7). Also ja, sie steckt im irgendwelchen Mikroweich-Betriebsystem bevor der Verscheißifizierungsära.

Not in the egg compartment, of course, but most other places will do.

Trojan is any malware that pretends to be a legit program. It does not need to have backdoor or info stealing capability even though most malware (trojan or not) today does. For example, pre-Internet trojans might just invisibly install themselves along the actual program they were bundled with and then nuke the system on a certain date. Antivirus companies would even advance the date on their systems in hopes of detecting these and being the first to develop a patch.

But since this program is not malicious, it just straight up hogs system resources and/or crashes it due to a mistake, it cannot be considered malware and therefore not a trojan.

Certain Intel processors from around 2000 would crash everything when loading the 4 bytes F0 0F C7 C8 into a specific register. Would you consider this a backdoor because it allows any program to crash the system? I wouldn’t say so, crashing Windows 98 was probably not too hard anyway…

I installed FakeStore and set the app’s installed_by* property from Package Manager to FakeStore (com.android.vending, the same as Google Play Store), which was enough to fool the public transport app I’m using. Is this the workaround you’re talking about, or does it require MicroG too?

* Not what it’s actually called, can’t remember that

It’s the apps that prevent themselves being sideloaded. Presumably, their devs will enact similar policy on EU iOS too.

Eine Maschine, die (was?) in (was?) verwandelt?

They cannot just make a passive, universal device that presses places on the touchscreen, as Nintendo has filed a patent for a Game Boy case for phones, likely without actual interest in making this cheap hardware device themselves.

It was advertised as “2 TB (64 GB Extended)” at a local clearance sale (not AliExpress), which was basically correct though I would prefer “64 GB but misprogrammed so everything can get corrupted at any time”. When buying it, I didn’t yet know if I could reprogram the chip but the low price was justified for the pretty aluminum case with a USB-C port and place for a custom PCB. I decided to buy it also to prevent another, less technical person from using it and losing their data. The store was getting rid of inventory for very cheap and would close soon so no more fake drives would be ordered.

Well, depends on how much you’re OK with some problems. I knowingly bought a “2 TB (64 GB Extended)” flash drive, tested its sectors and reprogrammed it to 32-in-64-GB for wear leveling and bad sector avoidance because it was still a cheap 32GB USB drive. I made sure to label it for “non-critical use” such as movies.

As for camping lanterns, ones charged from mains might have a nasty habit of shocking their users. (The YouTube channel contains a huge number of cheap Chinese charger teardowns and most don’t meet safety criteria. Usually, there is just 1 or 2 layers of thin tape between mains and the output you can touch.)

Sometimes, counterfeits or unknown brands are so similar to the real deal that it barely matters. I’d say that basic electronics (alarm clocks, kitchen scales, calculators, SD security cams) or even RAM is fine. With appropriate expectations, parts like video or USB cables, hubs etc., small home improvement items (hooks, screws) are fine too. Avoid categories where a lot of items have fake specs (storage devices, LED bulbs, anything that claims a runtime on a Li-Ion battery). Power electronics (especially if using mains or non-tiny Li-Ion batteries) can be downright dangerous. For novelty items and electronics modules, it’s usually easy to find text or video reviews on other websites because they’re easy to uniquely describe. Remember to consider ways in which the product can be utter crap despite high reviews citing good first impressions; it also helps to have practical knowledge of testing the properties of the items and fixing common issues.

It’s worth doing even if your country did, or if it is predicted to fail the threshold, as all signatures count towards the total goal of 1,000,000. However, seven countries also need to pass their threshold and only two (Germany, France) did so your support is most valuable if you’re from Denmark, Benelux, Italy, Spain, Slovenia or Sweden. Some percentage of the votes will be invalidated in the verification process so it’s better to aim for 125% of the threshold.

Well, dojít also means “come to” as in “understand” or “deduce”, besides the usual meaning of “finish walking”. However, dojetí is the gerund-like form of either the verb dojet (“come to”/“arrive” but not on foot but by a land vehicle; though dojezd or příjezd is used more often) or way more commonly the verb dojmout se (“get moved [emotionally]”).

The most accurate translation of the song title would be “[I Am] Afraid To Get Emotional” but “Resisting Being Moved/Touched”, close to what Google came up with, is the best if syllable count needs to be preserved.

An old Czech song just played on the radio…
