Re:Hezbollah pager explosions kill several people in Lebanon on Tuesday September 17, 2024 @05:29PM (#41573003)
Question: what's the possibility of doing this with non-tampered with modern mobile phones?

Many phones today have a 5000mah battery, which I'm assuming could be triggered to overheat via a malicious app or webpage. Imagine this being used on a grand scale.

Re:Barcelona will eliminate tourist apartments on Friday June 21, 2024 @04:50PM (#40753665)
I've been living in Barcelona for a long time. The mayor is very, very cozy with the hotel industry, which is very much effected by tourist apartments and Airbnb. And he will most likely be out of power in 3 years, so won't actually have to see this through and is just doing this to make himself look good with the many citizens who believe we have too many tourist.
I had an very active artist page as a musician in several bands and projects for years. Many videos and photos and posters that I stupidly either didn't back up anywhere else, or it was scattered amongst other pages or hard drives. One day, woke up and it was all gone, the page was not there or any trace of it. I tried to find out what happened and never could and eventually gave up.
Re:Elon Musk drops suit against OpenAI and Sam Altman on Tuesday June 11, 2024 @05:03PM (#40651446)
The big question is....whose going to play Elon Musk in the true-to-life film version, about the slow downfall of the man who wanted to be king of everything, but ended up a nothing as part of a musical duo with Kanye West, with a Reno casino resort residency.
When I moved here to Barcelona, it seemed like many "squats" were punk and artist taking over unused or abandoned large spaces. Many we even open to the public and had events, and some were even part of the local community. Nowadays it's more often drug addicts and criminals and mafias taking over uninhibited homes (even when people are on vacation), who terrorize the neighborhoods.

That was one of the coolest sites ever, the other one being where you could make virtual mixtapes and send them to people. We can't have nice stuff anymore....

Microsoft...screwed up my relationship with my HP printer. Two of them.

And don't get me started on that malware Onedrive or the constantly shitified Teams.

I don't even use the app, but I wanted one these just play around with.
I really, really, really dislike using Teams. Sometimes I think it's just a cruel joke that Microsoft is playing on us.
Re:Electric buses withdrawn in south London after fire on Sunday January 14, 2024 @03:57PM (#38994368)
We have had quite a few "unexplained" electric and hybrid bus fires here in Barcelona the last few years.
Does can anyone recommend an app or website specifically for listening to pirate radio stations from around the world?
A group of students and teachers in Barcelona are trying for a mobile phone ban as well.

Great list, thanks! Does anyone have a recommendation of a semi realistic house building game for a teen?

My daughter loves Minecraft and the house building games on Roblox, but trying to find something a little deeper but still fun..

Re:Amazon reaches 10000 Rivian electric delivery vans in U.S. on Wednesday October 18, 2023 @04:05PM (#37934071)
Amazon (and other product delivery platforms) drive a bit fast and recklessly in the city I'm in. If these vehicles are quieter now, might be worse, although cutting down on air pollution is a big plus.
I don't like that malware called Onedrive. I really don't like it.
Here in Barcelona, like many other cities, on top of this, many locals or long term outsiders, with Spanish salaries, are being priced out to lots of new professionals from outside Spain ,with much bigger paychecks. It's almost impossible to rent in the city for many locals.

Re:Thinking in a foreign language improves decision-making on Sunday September 17, 2023 @04:43PM (#37549111)
Here in Spain too. A while back in Barcelona it was "Year of the Book" with events all year, in many kinds of places, celebrating books and reading. The even created a free book, to cover all the things they were doing. But the English in the book was HORRIBLE. And it still is on many government websites, tourist things, trains and buses etc. Such a bad LOOK.
