It doesn’t necessarily require a different tape head for recording, but ideally a different head is used. For recording it should have an erase head though, otherwise you’re recording over what is already on the tape. Digitising tape in high quality requires a good playback mechanism that has low wow and flutter, I doubt this thing has that, most recent portable cassette players had the same bad mechanism.

Trucks? If you move coal for a power plant using trucks you’re going to need a lot of trucks, you use trains or ships instead, or just build the power plant next to the mine and use conveyor belts.

Coal is unreliable

How? I would’ve said coal is very reliable, it worked for over a hundred years.

It’s also devolving, having less features, being slower/less optimised and so on. Cramming “AI” into it isn’t devolving, it’s enshitification

Yes and no, I don’t have an account but I also don’t use the frontpage because why would I, it’s empty. When you watch a video you still get the recommendations in the sidebar.

That actually sounds like a reasonable response.

If you give the driver enough time to act, which tesla doesn’t. They turn it off a second before impact and then claim it wasn’t in self-driving mode.

Honestly I think examples like this are counterproductive, the average man will never be considered for one of these positions, nor will the average woman. It is useless to get angry at such a situation as it only serves to engage people in the “gender war” which only serves to distract you from the real issues which are almost completely class issues. Instead of getting angry that some woman “took away” the job of some man who was “more deserving”, you should get angry that that person is most likely getting paid a hundred times more than you and will cut your job in an attempt to make the company appear more profitable.

Every once in a while my uni has some interesting events (at least based on the description), public announcement sent to everyone, and the last sentence has almost always been some form of “women only”. There is usually no gender neutral equivalents to these events and they’re done in the name of gener equality. So I very much feel excluded by gender equality.

I’m sure it varies from country to country, but in the US women could not study medicine until the late 1800’s

In Germany at the moment around two thirds of medicine students are women and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the similar in most western countries.

Isn’t that how feddit.de died?

The old tree system was much better, it allowed you to mix exercises from different topics. The new path system locks you into one topic until you know all the sentences by rote.

The main objective is not to complete lessons, but to learn. If you use up all your hearts because you make too many mistakes you’re obviously not learning. At that point Duolingo completely fails though, instead of telling you to go back and practice, it asks if you want to buy hearts with in-game currency or switch to the paid super max hyper ultra AI whatever it’s now called for unlimited hearts. Unlimited hearts doesn’t give you shit though, it allows you to bruteforce your way through the lessons to get XP to rank up in the completely optional leaderboards, it doesn’t help you learn. It’s only pay to win if you see it as a game and not as a language learning app.

You can set your profile to private to completely disable the leaderboard stuff.
