@fersman jo, captchu klikám taky, hlavně u recaptcha od google, ale myslel jsem, že je to tím, že nejsem přihlášen ke googlu.

Víc mě trápí netflix. Má mou IP zařazenou jako německou a tak střídavě hází obsah pro CZ a DE podle toho přes kterou IP přistoupí. A často najdu obsah, přehrávám a když se k tomu vrátím později, není pro můj region dostupný. Prostě furt lítám mezi DE a CZ.
Nepomohlo vyházet na dns resolveru ipv6 záznamy pro netflix servery. Asi jsem nepochytal všechny domény.

I pretty much don't have any interest in the Steam Deck (besides of size) for the fact that the APU in there is starting to really show it’s age. Now there are more competition in the handheld with more powerful APUs at the expense of using a little bit more power.

The Radeon 890m really makes the Deck look more out of date as it has performance close to a Radeon 470/570 or a GTX 1060. Not to mention, we are seeing more games that are unplayable on the Deck or won't play well, and the lack of USB 4 support to use an eGPU doesn't help. After all, this is a computer
in a console form factor, and PC games are rarely optimized well.

That said, I would like to see an SoC using ARM with Radeon graphics, it would improve battery life, but x86-64 emulation on ARM64 is another story, but it’s possible given what Asahi Linux can do playing games from Steam using Proton.

The dominant narrative is that electric vehicles are heavily subsidised. In fact, it's fossil fuel cars that are still heavily subsidised in key European markets. Removing fossil fuel subsidies also means less spending on electric vehicles to compensate for this unjustified advantage.

Announcing The Launch of Access Park: My Mission to Build a Global Marketplace for Assistive Technology and Empower Buyers and Sellers Within the Access Community | Donna J. Jodhan | AT-Newswire.com

I, Donna J. Jodhan, am thrilled to announce the official launch of Access Park (accesspark.shop), a new, fully accessible, global online marketplace that will connect assistive technology buyers and sellers around the world.

A young woman with Down syndrome is smiling brightly and raising her fists in a celebratory gesture, as if excited or triumphant. She is wearing a beige blazer over a white shirt with a blue lanyard around her neck. Behind her, various clothing items are displayed on racks, and shelves hold neatly folded clothes, suggesting she is in a retail or boutique setting. In the foreground, a computer monitor is visible on the right, indicating she may be working at the store or assisting customers. The overall mood is joyful and positive. Bottom Right: A simple but iconic black logo features a map pin icon with a wheelchair symbol inside it, pointing downward to a place of accessibility. To the right of the pin, there is vertical line separating the icon from the bold uppercase word 'ACCESS,' with the word 'PARK' written in smaller capital letters below. The design suggests a focus on 'Access Park,' where access if provided for all.

🏓 🇨🇿 🇸🇰 🥇 🥇 Historic Gold for MATELOVA and BALAZOVA at the Tabletennis European Championships - In her third European final, BALAZOVA made history by securing Slovakia’s first European title

"Hana MATELOVA of Czechia and Barbora BALAZOVA of Slovakia clinched their first-ever medal together at the Continental Championships. At the LIEBHERR European Championships in Linz, MATELOVA and BALAZOVA triumphed over reigning champions Sofia POLCANOVA of Austria and Bernadette SZOCS of Romania. The bronze medals went to Izabela LUPULESKU and Sabina SURJAN of Serbia, and Natalia BAJOR of Poland and Tatiana KUKULKOVA of Slovakia.

Image/photo

In her third European final, BALAZOVA made history by securing Slovakia’s first European title. After losing the mixed doubles finals in 2013 and 2020, she finally claimed victory. For MATELOVA, it marked her second European title and a significant win for Czechia, having previously won the mixed doubles title in 2013 (ironically against BALAZOVA).

The final was intense, but the Czech-Slovak pairing always seemed one step ahead.

“This was our best match here. Even we were impressed with our performance in the final. We had never won a medal before at the Europeans, and we’ve been playing together since 2011 in Herning. For sure, the experience of playing finals was on their side. POLCANOVA especially, since she knows how to handle the pressure of the final stage, having been there three times before,” MATELOVA said.

Sometimes, experience can also be a burden, making it harder to carry.

“They were nervous, especially in the opening games, while we were more relaxed. Before the match, we just said, ‘Let’s fight and see what happens.’ We stuck to our game plan,” added MATELOVA.

BALAZOVA shared her thoughts about her nerves before the match.

“Five minutes before the match, I told Hana that I was nervous, but she calmed me down. Even if we lost, we had already achieved a lot by winning a silver medal. So I just wanted to give my best without feeling the pressure of the result. We had a rocky path throughout the entire tournament with a really tough draw. From round one, it was challenging. Also, we weren’t sure if this would be our last European Championship, so we just wanted one medal to say goodbye. But to win gold—it’s unbelievable.”

Reflecting on their challenging path, MATELOVA added, “The first match was the hardest. We faced Charlotte LUTZ and Jia Nan YUAN of France. It couldn’t have been a tougher start, but we managed to beat them 3-0. Strangely, my defeat in singles helped me focus entirely on doubles, and I had plenty of rest between matches, allowing me to prepare in peace. Yesterday’s match against Natalia BAJOR and Tatiana KUKULKOVA was also incredibly difficult. They had a 2-0 lead and two match points,” MATELOVA recalled.

BALAZOVA also shared a personal anecdote: “After I lost in singles to LUTZ, without much of a chance, my fiancé told me, ‘Maybe it’s for the best because you might become the European champion in doubles.’ That idea stuck in my mind, and I thought about it before the final. For me, the toughest match was the quarterfinal against BERGSTROM and KALLBERG, when we finally secured our medal.”

Women's Doubles final:

Sofia POLCANOVA, Bernadette SZOCS (Austria, Romania) - Hana MATELOVA, Barbora BALAZOVA (Czechia, Slovakia) 2-3 (7-11, 11-7, 9-11, 11-7, 6-11)

Semi final

Sofia POLCANOVA, Bernadette SZOCS (Austria, Romania) - Izabela LUPULESKU, Sabina SURJAN (Serbia) 3-2 (10-12, 11-4, 11-5, 5-11, 11-3)

Natalia BAJOR, Tatiana KUKULKOVA (Poland, Slovakia) - Hana MATELOVA, Barbora BALAZOVA (Czechia, Slovakia) 2-3 (11-8, 11-5, 12-14, 5-11, 11-13)"
