ThePancakeExperiment

They did install something like this one time at one of my local supermarkets to deter loitering teenagers, I have sensitive ears and am not even close being a teenager anymore but could hear this shit and it was loud as fuck. Went shopping elsewhere...

And then there are some cars which give off really annoying high pitched sounds to fend of rodents or something, at least that is what I guess. Really awesome when you have to work near a patking lot...

None of my coworkers can hear any of it, but they never wear hearing protection and some of them are nearly deaf.

Touch controls everywhere, I've got an induction cook top which is all touch, (temperature is a bar you can drag) guess what happens when you've got some spillage while cooking. Yeah, if you are lucky nothing happens, but I had it several times shutting itself down, or adjusting the temperature, which is fucking stupid and dangerous. You want to get rid of the water with a towel? Something will trigger. Really great.

Letting the computer decide what is best for you. There was/is this feature?! in windows 10, or 11 where it sets the color of your font on the desktop based on your wallpaper, and I did not find a way to change it. So what happens when you've got a wallpaper that is bright on top and darker on the bottom, like maybe a landscape image? Guess you are just not reading any of the text on the top half...

I am not learning Spanish at the moment but I learn more with this kind of approach. And I will definitiveley bookmark this.

I bought the book Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata: Familia Romana which teaches latin in latin with the additional help of pictures. It is awesome.

Does anyone know similar books for other languages? At the moment I learn Romanian, but I would love to have something similar for Polish, too.

Yeah, I've still got a win11 install, but every game that did not run on linux did not run on win11 either. I do not play multiplayer games though and those games had pretty obscure engines. Compatibility with older games is great though.
I rarely use windows these days, and I hate that updates can take up to half an hour and you can't do anything with your system.

I know some, I guess, hope I do not butcher them:

German(native): Bitte/ Danke (sehr) or Vielen Dank,

English: please/ thank you (very much),

Japanese: どうぞ or おねがいします or ください/ (どうも)ありがとう(ございます) (Which is douzo (when you offer someone something, I think, onegaishimasu/kudasai (if you want something or someone to do something, which is following the request.)/ (domo)arigatou(gozaimasu),

Norwegian: vær så snill / (tusen) takk,
(Which is like "Sei so gut/lieb"/ "Tausend Dank" in German.),

Romanian: vă rog or te rog (formal/informal)/ mulțumesc ((foarte) mult) or mersi (mult) (ă is a short a, I guess and ț is like the ts from "its", or a German z)

French: s'il vous plait (that one I had to look up on how to write)/ merci

Polish: proszę (bardzo)/ dzięki or dziękuję (bardzo) (Like proshe/ djenki/djenkuje)(ę is nasalized)

Portuguese: faz favor or por favor/ obrigado or obrigada (male/female) (o is spoken like an u) (I do not know much Portuguese (like French and Polish), in my book (European Portuguese faz favor and por favor are used, but I do not know the differences.)

I get this question quite often, but to be frank, I just like the sound of it.

Oh, just like in Japanese, did not know that, they have the ten thousands quirk too. Would love to learn more Chinese and other languages, but I lack free time.

I can count to ten in more language than I am able to speak (I just love learning stuff):

Can count above ten:
German (native), English, Norwegian, Romanian, Russian, Japanese

Can count only up to ten:
French, Polish, Mandarin

I am learning Romanian at the moment, those are 0-10: zero,
unu/ una,
doi/ două,
trei,
patru,
cinci,
șase,
șapte,
opt,
nouă,
zece

I love it, too! Played the whole weekend up to the third boss. Mouse and keyboard controls are great on PC.

I got myself and can recommend:
Returnal (29.99€) (Rogue-like shooter),
Wisper (6.99€) (Open world exploration) and Crossroads OS (3.74€) (Puzzle game).
I can further recommend:

Studio System (8.84€) (Horror),
With My Past (6.59€) (Puzzle),
Signalis (13.99€) (Horror).

That list is already on this site though, you can filter it.

War auch gleich um 8 da, war gar nicht mal so leer, kenn ich aus meinem alten Wahlkreis anders.
