bstix@feddit.dkto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you charge an electric car without a credit card?2·5 days agoApps or NFC tags are used where I live.
I charge at home myself, but in the odd case where I’ve used public chargers I’ve had to install an app from whatever charging company it is, because I can never find one that takes cards directly, though they all ought to do that by now.
For people who use public chargers a lot, it makes most sense to get some subscription and get a tag for that. Some of them works across different networks. It’s a bit of jungle.
The apps probably do require a card to setup, unless you get it through some company where you already have direct debit (f.i. your electricity provider or gas station monthly billing etc.)
It’s not that different from gas stations. It’s not possible to pay those in cash anymore anyway.
bstix@feddit.dktoNyheder@feddit.dk•Den store befolkningsforandring: I 2096 kan flertallet i Danmark være indvandrere eller efterkommere [pga. forsat arbejdskraftsindvandring]4·5 days agoÉn ting er vurderingen af generationer osv, men tænk også over at begrebet “vestlige lande” er indført i Danmarks Statistik i år 2002.
Jeg tror at vi i år 2096 vil se verden med helt andre arbitrære definitioner.
Hvis vi spoler tiden tilsvarende tilbage, så synes jeg det er for dårligt at kvinder går med fransk inspirerede BH’er i stedet for at gå med det traditionelle korset som man jo ved hvad er, eller at det bliver normalt at voksne mænd skal barbere sit skæg af efter amerikansk forbillede. Verden er af lave.
bstix@feddit.dkto Europe@feddit.org•Canada won’t become the 51st US state – but could it join the EU?English19·5 days agoDenmark and Canada already share an empty island. The border goes right through the middle, but the treaty includes the freedom for any visitors from either side to enjoy the entire island.
bstix@feddit.dkto Europe@feddit.org•German car industry calls for reversal of EU 2035 combustion engine banEnglish4·5 days agoYou need a bigger calculator.
Sure, the purchase price is somewhat higher, but if you look at all the costs in the lifespan of the vehicle, the EVs are cheaper.
Working class people can’t afford not to buy EVs.
My parents used one of these to plan the vacations:
bstix@feddit.dktoNyheder@feddit.dk•Børn risikerer at blive udnyttet i populært online spil [Roblox]4·5 days agoJa, en ting der undrer mig er dog at det er muligt at lave en account uden email. Børnene kan altså bare selv oprette en ny konto, hvis de kan finde ud af det.
Så… man skal nok alligevel holde lidt øje med hvad de har på deres telefon.
bstix@feddit.dktoNyheder@feddit.dk•Børn risikerer at blive udnyttet i populært online spil [Roblox]4·5 days agoJo, der er forældrekontrol hvor man kan slå chatten og direkte meddelelser helt fra. Man kan også holde den åben for venner eller kun udvalgte brugere.
Derudover er der styring af aldersbegrænset content og brugen af robux (penge).
bstix@feddit.dktoNyheder@feddit.dk•Børn risikerer at blive udnyttet i populært online spil [Roblox]6·5 days agoJeg bemærker at Snapchat er problemet i begge de nævnte sager.
Roblox har en tekst chat. Det er selvfølgelig bekymrende at nogle bruger den til at opsøge børn, men jeg har svært ved at se hvorfor Roblox skal stå for mål for de forbrydelser som foregår på Snapchat.
De kunne selvfølgelig fjerne chatten, men så ville børnene nok bare bruge en anden vilkårlig chat imens. Roblox’s chat er trods alt nogenlunde censureret og til tider modereret.
bstix@feddit.dkto Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•Most downloaded apps in Europe by country in 2024English6·6 days agoProbably true. TEMU is personally also my most downloaded app. I’ve downloaded TEMU 3 time this year. Never opened it. Always uninstalled it immediately.
It installs automatically on some Samsung phones. I think it’s after system updates. The Samsung store will pop up and recommend some apps. It then installs TEMU regardless of what you choose.
bstix@feddit.dktoNyheder@feddit.dk•System, der skulle sikre, at du kan betale med kort under internetnedbrud, er forsinket5·8 days agoDankort kører fint offline, så jeg forstår ikke behovet for at understøtte alle mulige udenlandske korttyper offline i tilfælde af krise.
Worst case i tilfælde af en egentlig krise og strømmen også går ud, så kunne man nok finde ud af at printe rationeringsmærker, hvis ikke de allerede ligger på lager.
having to remember less could make you more focused on the road.
On contrary, in my opinion. Especially in cities, where manual forces me to anticipate the next turn, light or other drivers. Automatic makes me zone out and focus on everything but driving.
bstix@feddit.dkto politics @lemmy.world•Trump says Musk went 'CRAZY,' suggests cutting government contracts for his companies31·9 days agoSounds about right. The strategy is chaos.
bstix@feddit.dkto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are you using to play a guitar/instrument while listening to a song, looping, and slowing down the track to learn by ear?3·9 days agoBefore doing any slowing down and looping I’d make sure that I know the chords for that section. It’s easier to hear if a certain note is in the key (harmony) or not (dissonance), thereby limiting the available choices. Also it might be easier to identify an interval than a single note.
Knowing some theory definitely helps. If you can find a transcription as sheets or tabs that’d be a good idea for reference, even if they’re not always correct.
Having this context, it’s usually enough to slow down the part in the YouTube player. I use New Pipe, no ads and speed/pitch are separate.
For a more detailed analysis, Audacity is great for loops and zooming. It’s quick and easy. However, looping a single note can sometimes be deceiving, so I’d also loop a few of the notes before and after just to get some context.
Getting the clip into a full DAW can also help for very tricky sounds. Running it through a pitch correction effect can show what it detects. This works best if the clip doesn’t have a lot of other things at the same time. Another method if you have a midi keyboard is to play along with a basic tone like an organ or just a sine wave. Program the melody into the midi sequencer and you’ll basically have it transcribed. This is also great for long weird sections where it’s difficult to remember everything. Might as well write it down as midi instead of on a paper.

bstix@feddit.dkto politics @lemmy.world•Trump says Musk went 'CRAZY,' suggests cutting government contracts for his companies31·9 days agoIt’s method acting.
Everyone from the lowest LARP’ing ICE agents to the orange faced chief of clowns have been in role for so many years that they all forgot what reality is outside of their theatre of the grotesque.
Well… how’s that going?
