I love it, but roombas go underneath the furniture from time to time you know…

Rage bait

Due to an ungodly amount of rain making water rise up from the underground, we have had a couple of actual quicksand incidents along the coast here in Denmark. Fortunately no fatalities as far as i know. But that childhood fear of quicksand has suddenly become very real around here…

Almost no matter how you do it, it’s going to be a horrible waste of good drinking water to try to extract cooling from the temperature of the water. If you are in a dry climate, make a DIY swamp cooler. Otherwise shell out for a small AC unit.

Also; using your free lease-included water for stuff like that, is probably the quickest way to no longer have water included in your lease…

We take the protection of your personal information very seriously

Fuck, I loathe this corporate bullshit phrase. Obviously you didn’t take it serious enough, now did you? For some reason this phrase really grinds my gears. Fair enough that you had a data breach and so on, but don’t brush off the issue like this…

That depends on where you live though. Here in Denmark, as an example, we have a certificate called “Statskontrolleret økologisk” which basically translates to “Government-certified organic”. There are specific guidelines and rules that need to be followed, to be allowed to use this seal on your product.

I find myself thinking this a lot. Someone goes; “and that’s my theory about…” And I’m like; that’s not a theory, that’s a hypothesis…

Personally I’ve had really good luck with the Netgear Nighthawk R7000 and R7800 models. They are supported by openWRT as well if you are into that. An issue might be that they are “only” WiFi 5 units. Some of the newer models in the Nighthawk series might be just as good, but i don’t have personal experience with those…

The suggestion of not owning games refers to having subscription-based access to them; as of yet only ever offered as a suggested alternative to purchasing games, which is still very much an option.

That is exactly the problem though. How long will it be until the subscription model is no longer an option but the only option? Because i would bet money on that being the actual goal.

A representation of everything that’s wrong with the modern tech industry…

An order of magnitude more. It’s nearly half a terabyte.

Gadget Hackwrench basically… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
