As someone from Bosnia this is 100% true.

Yugoslavian culture is amazing. My parents lived in Yugoslavia they and all other relatives that lived there say that it is the best times of their lives.

Re:The subtle art of designing physical controls for cars on Tuesday February 11, 2025 @03:40PM (#43018071)
My Skoda Superb(2015) have very similar knobs for controlling temperature and when pressed it turns on seat heater.

From the first time I used it. It felt so natural and intuitive to use.

But unfortunately touch screen infotainment system is pure garbage.

Re:Casio F91w at 5KM underwater – watches of espionage on Friday January 31, 2025 @10:36AM (#42888693)
I own legendary GW-5000U. It is amazing to see those cheaper alternatives are as good as 5000U.

I'm wondering is there any other brend except Casio that has watches as amazing as those are.

+1 those colors sucks
It depends on the type and manufacturer of the NFC chip. I recommend using SLIX2 chips; they are a bit more expensive, but they work perfectly.

I find it interesting that people with a lot of storage space tend to fill it with things they don’t need. My father is the king of clutter he has 500 square meters of storage filled with trash he doesn’t need. When I tell him to throw something away, he just says, “I might need it one day,” but that day never comes.
Re:By 2028 cloud free companies are going to be most valuable on Saturday January 18, 2025 @04:52PM (#42751711)
I somehow think that the most valuable companies are those hyped by the media and investors. That’s the reality, and it’s pretty sad because hype has nothing to do with real value.

Personally, I like to self-host everything I can. I know it’s not the most efficient way, but in the end, I love tinkering and owning my data.

Re:Is the World Becoming Uninsurable? on Friday January 17, 2025 @01:24AM (#42734644)
In Yugoslavia, in 1969, one of the biggest earthquakes occurred, destroying several cities. After that, the country’s leaders decided to change building codes. Even today, although Yugoslavia no longer exists, the countries that adopted those codes have homes capable of withstanding earthquakes up to 7.5 on the Richter scale.

My main point is that if we face major natural disasters, we need to take action to mitigate their impact in the future. As a foreigner, it seems to me that Americans prioritize building cheap homes over constructing better and more resilient ones.

Right choice is to use e-ink tablets, not to switch back to text books.
