Ubuntu because it requires the least amount of hack fixes to get working.

And snap has vastly simplified software installation.

That's rather optimistic. I'm pretty sure it's daily. Although, perhaps it's only once a month that it gets upvoted

Yep, the citizens are now far smarter in their path finding. They'll walk quite a distance now, or follow a route via multiple different transport types.

A feature I'm really enjoying is pedestrians will walk along routes not intended for them if you've failed to provide adequate pedestrian routes. They will walk alongside a highway without a pavement if it saves them time. Or even more recklessly I've got people finding their way onto my rail tracks to shortcut their way to the station in places I've failed to put pedestrian paths.

Each citizen has their own preferences too, They'll take whatever transport is most suited to them. There's a surprising amount of depth to it.

When traveling by car or public transport they choose:

Teens - the cheapest route.

Adults - the quickest route.

Seniors - the most comfortable route.

This cost is calculated using multiple factors such as the city’s road network, traveling time, travel cost, agent preferences, and more which we will cover in more detail below. Furthermore, agents will adjust their route based on events along the way. They may change lanes to avoid a car accident or a stopped service vehicle or make room for a vehicle responding to an emergency.

Cars have seen massive improvement as well. They do indeed now pull into another lane to make way for emergency vehicles.

No longer do citizens store them in a magical pocket, they need to find parking which can be roadside or in dedicated parking structures.

Roads can be upgraded to remove roadside parking, given wide pavements, you can add signage to prevent left hand turns etc. But rather enjoyably some more reckless drivers will ignore your road layouts and intentionally take turns they aren't allowed to, or if a road becomes blocked they will perform an illegal u-turn and find an alternative route.

Honestly, I'm really not understanding why this game is getting so many people complaining. Sure it has bugs, but the core mechanics are working perfectly fine - it's an incredible feat of software engineering.

Interesting. It looks like that was the case in the past but they eventually adapted https://vimeo.com/blog/post/new-upload-rules/

I've been playing a ton of Cities Skylines II since its release a week ago. After building a 230k population archipelago I started playing around with the in game cinematic video tools and this is the result.

This is 100% in game footage and effects using the Photo Mode. Recorded using the Microsoft/Xbox Game Bar, only editing was to trim the start and end.

Have you considered moving your email away from Google? It's easier than you'd expect

I have been meaning to ask, can Shelly be used to turn existing light switches/circuits smart? I have four separate light switched each for a single light, and I'd love a simple solution so if I turn one switch on all four lights come on.

The revolutionary aspect is the quantity of the satellites and the affordability of access due to reduction in deployment costs.

There are certainly more secure options but better is unlikely given how revolutionary starlink is.

Chrome's UI was light years ahead of the competition. I'd be tempted to say they had an impact on the design of all desktop applications.

The transparency of Topics is at least an improvement. Previously you would be targeted - or rather discriminated - by highly questionable traits.

Hopefully with this move regulators will finally step in to outlaw the previous behaviour. That would be a minimal step in the right direction.

They only require permission to write to the password field, they don't necessarily need to read passwords. Although it does change the work flow for some users.

How many people are actually returning this product though? Nobody is going to any effort to return a product that costs so little.

And everything I've read about this recall makes the reason clear so I can't see anyone opting not to just consume it - which more than likely they already did immediately on purchase.
