I gave up on to-do apps as well. I have a text file I started in 2017. It's on my desktop and always open in a text editor. I just add the following at the top for a new entry: 20250811 - Core API - deploy to production 20250810 - Cust

I asked it to summarise my repo. It did a pretty good job. Then I asked it to see if it could summarise a specific function, but it said my $5 was up. Now I need to find whoever's in charge of our company account and spend half an hour

Yeah, I think the UX here in the Netherlands is much simpler and easier than in other countries. When I go to the UK (e.g. Tesco Express) I have to select a bagging option, there's no "no bag" option at the beginning of the t

Mica is the main component used to give auto paints their metallic look. Mica is mined in sometimes terrible conditions in India and Madagascar. I wonder if Porsche joining the Responsible Mica Initiative has anything to do with the reducti

Yeah, this is a pain and I hope there will be some good news soon. My family runs on this - the only advantage over free Gmail is that we can use our own domain name, and we're going to suddenly have to pay $42 per month (okay, $36 if

I still have my Key2. Sending mails/WhatsApps/Slack/Messenger messages takes me half the time it takes someone on a touch-screen phone. It's the best BlackBerry I've ever had - I had an iPhone and a couple of Androi

I'm a huge guy (6'5", big frame), with big thumbs, and my Key2 is the fastest, most productive phone I've ever owned (including various Androids and a couple iPhones). I don't mean fast in terms of raw processing po

I've got an Epson ink bottle printer. The bottles last for thousands of sheets, don't cost much, and don't dry out. I only print a couple of times a month and moved from a Brother printer because a set of four cartridges cos
