It got certainly faster (16 to 50 mbps for me. Which is moatly sufficient) and most of the MSP cliemts I work with have a 100-500mbps to a rare 1gbps wire but it's rarely a given.

While most around us (Switzerland, Austria, Netherlands for example) have either 10gbit fiber amd or cheap internet, Germany meanwhile has much DSl or coax commections. Fiber is getting popular and is subsidized heavily (you basically receive it for free to the house when signing a contract for some years) a good chunk of seniority are refusing it with "Well, DSL was already enough for me. I don't need this new fangled stuff. And it costs 75-100% thab my current contract for more unneeded bandwidth. Nah, I'll pass on the offer".

Meanwhile the grandson in 30 years will be very "thankful" for a house in a good condition and having to order a telecom contractor to connect the house to fibre network for 10k €. Just because granny was (not unjustified) a bit cheap.

And this analogy can be expanded to the highest of governments in Germany.
Old rich people, disconnected from reality, ruling over the commoners and deciding their fates.
Just recently our local newspaper showed an example of it.
A divorced/widowed father with a grods income of 5000€ would receive more state child support than an equal family with an income of 3500€.

Just why...

Quote from the paper (feel free to use a translator of choice)

Das Finanzministerium nannte Beispiele. Demnach soll beispielsweise ein Paar aus Pflegekraft und Busfahrer mit je 2.800 Euro brutto und zwei Kindern 2028 eine Entlastung von rund 632 Euro im Jahr bekommen. Ein Paar aus Erzieher und Elektrikerin mit je 3.200  Euro brutto und zwei Kindern bekommt rund 642 Euro mehr.
Ein Paar aus Lehrerin und Ingenieur mit je 5.000  Euro brutto und zwei Kindern kann mit rund 678 Euro mehr rechnen. Eine alleinerziehende Pflegekraft mit 2.800 Euro brutto und zwei Kindern soll mit rund 468 Euro entlastet werden, eine alleinerziehende Erzieherin mit 3.200 Euro brutto und zwei Kinder mit rund 471 Euro und ein alleinerziehender Lehrer mit 5.000 Euro brutto und zwei Kindern mit rund 496 Euro.

(I really hope I understood the article correctly and not making a fool out of myself. But the idiocracy should be enough to see where it's generally going here in Germany)

How else you get to inflate the stock price?
You got to get the returns on it.

No, we in Germany are almost as bad for almost those prices.
That's more astonishing to me.

Shouldnt have built a christmas tree with it.

Should've waited until September or something before announcing it.

It still is in regards to music releases.
Almost every indie creator in the touhou scene releases CDs on booth or somewhere adjacent.

It can be on a steamdeck.
But building your own Steam-PC (with their distro) still is not plug and play like a console is.

PC is PC.
For the first step it doesnt matter what OS you run.
Your issue is the second step.

But then the mutated Orange would throw a fit and slam his small nub of a dick around.

Responsible personnel?
In a government?
In this time, age and economy?

Holy fuck. I must be dreaming.
