Fallout 4 is $30... that's tempting. Not sure if I should jump on it or wait till next summer.

Wait, I was highly disappointed. Get it for $20 next year maybe.

For those who are facing heavy database load:

Holy crap

Some titles are way cheaper in canada. Some are not. Why?!?

Because we Europeans, especially we Germans, like to pay more than others. There may be quite some fees included, like the ones for artists etc. Not sure.

For example, we are paying a reproduction fee if we buy something like USB thumb drives, SD cards and even printers or DVD burners to recompensate book authors for example, because we could use such devices to copy their work... Something awfully stupid, all about lobbying.

Just 10% off for Stellaris: http://store.steampowered.com/app/281990/

Well it would make sense to use a pencil if they were using a scan card system.

But seriously, talk about making it easy to change votes around...

I can't believe that... really. Here, like in every country (at least I thought so), you have to use a ball pen or something that can't be erased like a pencil.

I'm going on vacation in August for a week. Probably the longest I've ever taken at one time. I'm not a big vacation person haha. I like to work.

Still hard to imagine. We are forced by law to take at least 12 days in a row once a year here.

Say - What?

Oh I would go nuts.... after two days I'm miserable.. I have to be doing something..

Guess what, I've got a little survival pack...

Only found a PDF source in English

Federal German Paid Leave Act
§ 7 Paragraph 2, second sentence:

"Where the vacation days cannot be granted consecutively for these reasons and the employee has a claim to vacation of more than 12 working days, one portion of the vacation shall comprise at least 12 consecutive working days."

Just cleaned up my office a bit before leaving for one and a half week of vacations. Some of the embedded and SBC stuff went into a glass cabinet:

Looking at the picture, well, there's a Banana Pi Pro and a compatible display. Would be a nice upgrade for FrankenSwitch. I'll get back to this once I'm back from vacations.

Tried that, works like a charm. Even big videos (like 1.6 GB) are working flawlessy, so some streaming or downloading in chunks in the background I guess. Anyway, works well enough for the showcase.

Thank you.

@scottalanmiller: How to mark a topic as solved?

@scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

LOL fail. Try screenshotting and upload to ML.

Odd. Worked yesterday with another picture.

But because you gently asked for it, here you go:

@scottalanmiller like this?

That's hard for those who has been fired let go. And 12% is something to take seriously.

Is there something more going on?

@Breffni-Potter said in Summer Steam Sale:

Fallout 4 if on offer but really there's nothing else I want.

I'm into Fallout since the very first one. And this was by far the worst one when it comes to story and lore. I was highly disappointed. NV and even FO3 has been way, way, way better. Probably the fanbase will fix that (nexusmod.com), but...

Anyway, maybe FF, Resident Evil, but there's no specific list for me.
