Gate-addresses in Stargate
For me, Stargate is one of the best science fiction series. I liked its humorous and down-to-earth approach. Space battles are secondary; the main method of travel is the eponymous Stargates. But how do the addresses actually work?
Music from Europe with Deezer
I’m not a music enthusiast. In my entire life, I’ve never bought a cassette, CD, or MP3. Fortunately, today we have music streaming services. For the past six months, we’ve been trying out Deezer instead of YouTube Music.
My wishes for a smartphone OS
I was using smartphones before the term even existed. My first pocket computer was an HTC Diamond with Windows Mobile and stylus operation. Not everything was perfect, but there are some things I miss to this day.
Sometimes it’s just the cable
A few weeks ago, we put a new cabinet in the living room and rearranged some things to make space for it. The router was moved on top of the cabinet, so it’s now a bit higher and two meters further away from the phone jack. Suddenly, the internet connection became unstable and would reconnect several times a day.
The ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X instead of GeForce Now
Unfortunately, GeForce Now doesn’t fit my mobile lifestyle after all. The connection on the go is too poor and unstable. I’m looking for a device that can run games locally. The new gaming handhelds are a good option, especially the ASUS Xbox ROG Ally X, right?
My car: There’s something wrong with the steering
My BMW 118d is now 14 years old and has 450,000 km on it. So a defect is not surprising. The imprecise error message, on the other hand, is. Even the workshop couldn’t make anything of it.
Cloud first? Not private
It’s not just since Donald Trump became President of the USA that one should carefully consider whether to entrust one’s data to a cloud, usually operated by US companies. Especially for private use, it’s very tempting because the maintenance effort is low. But so is the control.
My PC is at its limit
Dune: Awakening has become my new main game, it just hooked me. But one thing is driving me crazy: the performance. Even in notebook mode, I can’t get the game to 60 FPS, if it’s even stable above 40 FPS. Thanks to Unreal Engine 5 and my PC.

Aber eben auch unbekannt und folglich kaum unterstützt. Deshalb war es zwar nervig, aber wenig verwunderlich, dass die Joysticks nicht automatisch unter Arch Linux erkannt wurden. Wobei eigentlich hat Arch Linux die Joysticks problemlos erkannt,…
Ersteindruck zu Dune: Awakening
Beitrag vorlesen lassen (maschinell erstellt) 0:00 /282.336 1× Bekanntes Universum, unbekanntes Spielgenre Als Science-Fiction-Fan ist mir das Dune-Universum von Frank Herbert natürlich ein Begriff. Es wäre sogar möglich, dass der Film Dune von 1984 einer der ersten Science-Fiction-Filme war, die ich je gesehen habe. Natürlich weit bevor ich sechszehn Jahre alt war, vermutlich war ich…
