    There are two main reasons why those numbers are skewed and incorrect.

    1. Mojang/Microsoft can’t legally keep tallies of players under the age of 13 due to COPA regulations, so that demo is underrepresented
    2. Those numbers include Java metrics which contrary to popular belief, are absolutely dwarfed by Bedrock players.

    Bedrock players are Mojang/Microsoft’s target demo. They spend more money (with both realms and the marketplace) and purchase more merchandise.



  • Yea, that’s more or less the same cost a fully loaded i5 would be in the US. Works out to be about 15k more than the normal 5 series, more or less.

    Currently only Ford and Rivian can use Tesla chargers in the US. BMW, Mercedes and a bunch of others have announced partnerships with Tesla late 2023 / early 2024 but they haven’t released the adapters or technically allowed to use it just yet.

    I’m absolutely in love with the i7 (the 7 series in general), but the i5 is the closest I’ll get and even then it’s really hard to justify since I really don’t drive a whole lot.


  • It’s something I’ve been considering getting but the one thing that really gets me about it is it’s essentially an ICE car with its engine swapped out for a battery and electric motor. It’s so big and heavy.

    I haven’t gotten to test drive one yet, so maybe it doesn’t feel as bad when driving. I know not really the same class (though surprisingly close in cost) but I’ve been leaning towards the mach e GT (one thing Tesla got right is their supercharger network and Ford can take advantage of that).

    I’m also half hoping they come out with a sedan built from the ground up as an EV. I considered the i4, but at that price there’s a lot of great cars that would probably be better.

    Did your company buy them or lease? I don’t think I can bring myself to actually buy an EV. I’m still not sure how the battery will be in 10+ years.





  • I originally completely over engineered it by tracking the YTD humidity and adjusting for the difference between the current average and last year’s and then someone mentioned just putting a second humidity sensor outside the bathroom. So I just do that. If the bathroom humidity spikes about 10% over the humidity outside the bathroom, it turns on and then it turns off at a static number.

    It sounds wasteful, but I already had a sensor in my primary bedroom, and the thermostat is right outside the kids bathroom so I didn’t have to install anything new.

    I then added a cooldown to make sure it doesn’t end up in a loop where it keeps turning on and off (that’s never actually happened but it seemed like a good idea).

    I also use it as a way to control the lights. I use motion detection to turn on the lights, but they used to turn off while someone was in the shower. Now it checks to see if the fan is on and if it is, resets the motion detection timer.

    Love it or hate it, they aren’t intentionally designed not to be walkable, they’re intentionally designed to discourage traffic from driving through them.

    The reason communities like yours and the one behind your house aren’t connected is to reduce the amount of cars driving down your block. To make it safer for your kids to play outside.




  • Switching from Twitch to Kick is like leaving Twitter for Truth Social. Kick was started by people who were kicked off Twitch for gambling and other banned content. And I don’t just mean poker, I’m talking about those skin gambling sites where streamers were found “promoting” but really owned and were rigging their bets to make it look like you can win big.

    Plus Kick’s backend uses the same Amazon services that Twitch does, so if your point is not to support Twitch and their parent company Amazon, Kick definitely isn’t the right choice.
