  • “I did it for 100% free”.

    5 minutes later…

    “Hosting is not cheap and I only have fraction of the library big companies have. Donate to support this project”.

    Looks like a cool project but if significant number of people started using this he would have to start charging his users. He’s creating a website that one day could compete with getty, not killed their business model.



  • They way I see it this is the less important part of the regulation so saying that manufactures are just ignoring the rules set by EU is alarmist and clibaity. Same thing happened with GDPR: there was a mess with consent popups, some companies ignored the requirements, EU started giving out fines and things improved. I wouldn’t expect anything different here. So far we’re talking about sticker requirements. Now that the law requires manufacturers to actually provide replacement parts we have to let EU enforce them and things should improve.

    I don’t think politicians set this law to fail on purpose. The alternative would be to create some certification authority which would add a lot of red tape. This could turn out to be a good compromise. We’ll see.


  • Talking about half brains… You know the Jubilee thing where they make one person debate 20 people? I don’t follow this but there’s this new one with a young Dem debating 20 boomers. I tried watching and had to stop after bout 5 minutes. The stupidity of boomers was unbearable. “Guns are a god given right” and such. And they are the biggest voting generation right now… US is fucked.


  • Again, no one is saying everything they did was bad. What I’m saying is that they protected the 1% same as everyone else. Clinton famously repealed the Glass–Steagall Act, Obamacare was a compromise that protected private health insurance companies. It’s absolutely possible to elect someone who’s not controlled by corporations and billionaires but people in this picture and not examples of that.

    It’s funny but since I grew up in communist Poland I don’t know any of Disney movies made before 1990. Since they didn’t cross the iron curtain the first Disney movie actually promoted in Poland was The Lion King in 1994. For me that’s when Disney movies started. But since I was already 10 and grew up watching soviet animations I wasn’t really impressed by it, ignored most of the later movies and never watched the older ones so I never saw Bambi, the one with flying elephant or the one with dwarfs. I mean, who would watch Disney when you had Kretek: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-TpIAyp3Ow



  • I see no one bothered to read the article…

    It complains about requirement to list prices or spare parts on a website. 80% of phone labels don’t include a URL to that websites. Looks like they are meeting other requirements and the article only complains about the missing URL. So saying that “makers don’t bother to comply” is a misleading clickbait.

    The requirement was only to include this URL but since most of those manufacturers most likely don’t offer replacement parts they didn’t set up websites that list them.

    Now, starting July 2026 they actually do have to sell replacement parts. As a consumer you have the right to request them and if those are not provided you can file a complaint. My guess is this will be rolled out slowly and will take some complaining and fining to reach 100% compliance. So… familiarize yourself with your rights and file complaints when needed.


  • But they require dark room. Where I live in summer it gets dark at 23:00 so you need great curtains or you can’t see anything most of the day. If you have curtains you have to watch everything in complete darkness. This is fine for a movie night but people like to watch news or watch a game with their friends over some food. You also need extra device to handle apps like Jellyfin. Things like BT can be more complicated to set up (my TV handles multiple BT devices nicely).

    Projectors are basically great for one or two things (home theater and gaming) but are bad for everything else.
