Same goes for kitchens. Give me real buttons and knobs and not these abhorrent touch panels that refuse to work every third time. A good quality kitchen appliance is identified by high quality knobs that last for decades.

Don't worry, there will be suitable USB accessories available for this.

The USA just lost the cold war.

Completely stopped using Reddit since they blocked third party apps in July 2023. I never accessed Reddit through other channels than smartphone.

Stop tipping culture. Pay your workers.

It's not their printers which are hated, it's their business model of selling overpriced ink and toner cartridges to a price that's higher than champagne prices and using technical devices to make it impossible to use other toner sources, firmware to make printers stop working when ink runs anywhere near low (they define 'low' as 33% ink left), while at the same time ensuring that as much ink and toner as possible are wasted through unnecessary testing and calibration and cleaning processes.

Been to Japan lately and can share some photos. There are even Kei Fire Trucks, for the many small roads with wooden houses and shrines etc.

And then there are hundreds of different kei truck and van types for all purposes, even concrete mixers.

Also, private houses in cities are often small and space-saving and so are the cars. A sensible use of public space – and cars only park on private property or rented parking spaces.

Mamdani frightens them. Good.

Crypto is the digital coal of our times.

Another fear campaign that ultimately aims only at marketing.

The AI bubble will burst, and it won't end well for the US economy.

Reminds me about the fact that a roughly equal proportion of the population does not know that peanuts, just like potatoes, grow underground.

They are large LANGUAGE models. It's no surprise that they can't solve those mathematical problems in the study. They are trained for text production. We already knew that they were no good in counting things.

Ein erster Schritt wäre, mal die Schnapsflaschen aus dem Süßigkeitenregal an der Kasse zu verbannen. Hochprozentiges wird hier behandelt wie Schokoriegel und Kaugummi, etwas, dass man sich mal eben so nebenbei reinzieht.

Soon Musk will offer Trump a special Cybertruck as a replacement for The Beast. Because he doesn't know what to do with all those swasticars nobody buys anymore.

They're really working on making World War III attractive. That's not a joke. They long for war.

I've always found it counterintuitive to use any kind of plastic for cooking. I don't trust these silicone baking molds either. And: plastic containers don't belong in the microwave.

Always stick to wood, metal and glass/ceramics in the kitchen!
