The media controls on my car. Previous and Next are Up and Down. Volume Up and Down are Right and Left.
Hey, at least it's not a touch screen :)

It really shouldn't be unpopular. EU bureaucracy might be slow, but it really does make a difference. Remember how you had to pay ridiculous roaming mobile charges if you crossed into another country? Or how you has to pay ridiculous money to transfer money between countries ridiculously slowly? Or how you had to charge that iphone with a ridiculous connector? Or how EU employment contacts stack up against US ones? Regulation works. The EU works.

Hungary blocks €50bn of EU funding for Ukraine
What a fucking disgrace. And the guy just got 10bn out of the 30bn the EU held back. They should have just quickly voted on the aid together with ascension talks while Viktor the Pig was out of the room.

Far-right hosts are blaming the GOP's big election losses on Taylor Swift
Go against the most popular pop star witha huge and very active fanbase, I'm sure that'll be a winning strategy.

Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings
now that all the performance, reliability, and usability issues are solved in Teams, it's great to see all that energy going into this useful feature that is surely not possible to circumvent in any way.

Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3?
Apart from my home hifi (which is built around flac) everything i liaten to ia mp3. Podcasts - mp3. Car audio system? Max 192kbps mp3. My phone? Full of mp3. And I'm sure I'm not alone. To say mp3 is not relevant anymore is just misguided.

Wife wanted a plant shelf on Amazon for $60. I said, pshh, I can build that myself. So I did. It only cost $90 and took all weekend.
my guess is yours look like what your wife wanted, wheres the amazon one would have looked like utter shit (also the quality), and nothing like the pictures on the site. so well done man.

Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second
The amount of effort i had to put into buying a dumb tv the last time it was new tv time is positively infuriating.

Capitalism indoctrination in progress.
perfectly maps to startups selling working at a startup as "we're a family", "you're a googler", etc. give them a ping pong table and free beer on fridays and you can pay considerably less.

well the market share of Windows 11 has risen significantly on my work laptop, and I can wholehearedly say, I understand why its global market share is falling...... random freezes, random restarts, battery life sliced, random starting up from suspend. it's not great.
meanwhile, Manjaro on my personal Lenovo laptop has been cutting edge with consistent updates for years.

It's just more convenient
We were "encouraged" by our CEO to go back to office and "collaborate". So my rule is now 2 days per week in the office (sometimes 1, sometimes 3, I'm flexible), but when I'm there, no calls/meetinga as much as possible. I'm socialising, shooting the shit, drinking coffee, playing ping pong with my peers. Realistically this works about half thr time, the other half we are organically ending up doing some work, discussing that thing we always wanted to but it never fits in a formal meeting slot, coming up with ideas how to solve a problem we didn't even realise we had until it came up during coffe or smth... At the beginning my boss complained a bit and I just told him I'm collaborating. He let it go!
So, BTO has a (limited) point, there is value to be there in person sometimes...

And maybe that craft could have wheels instead of rotors to mitigate the rain/wind problems... i think we might be on to something here!

Bfd. I can drive 13 hours in Germany from the Dutch border and still be stuck in a fucking traffic jam around Frankfurt on highway 3 and never get to my skiing destination in Austria.
