I found this to be extremely annoying as well. I tried to block the trending container but it keeps being on some subpages. It is absolutely annoying, but I think it’s a result of Twitter using react-native-web and not (primarily) an obfusc

The voice is indeed terrible, at least in my opinion. But there are alternatives that also offer more flexibility like adjusting the WPM. I can recommend speechify. Their voices sound pretty good and the Browser extensions work well. The on

I actually feel the same, but I didn’t feel like that with Atomic Habits. The way the author introduces the concepts step by step is pretty interesting and the personal story was kind of motivating for me. I actually went through the audio

I got the AirPods a few weeks ago. I'm still amazed that Apple managed to make me hate bluetooth less than I did previously (coming from a Samsung phone + Galaxy Buds). They really managed to make the everyday bluetooth experience seam

I am very aware how natural gas energy plants work. However, your oversimplification of the process misses a crucial point. Many power plants improve their efficiency for example by providing district heating, etc. Your stove is not only he

A huge power plant that burns 5 times the amount of gas also generates more than 5 times the energy compared to you burning it at home at your stove. Especially for cooking it really surprised me that cooking with gas is still so common in

Please explain, what about my building facade is so incredible private? Sensitive information is blurred anyways and google won’t publish anything that is private, they are just taking pictures of public spaces, which is totally legal.

I absolutely hate the attitude towards privacy here. The street view example is just perfect: people require google to blur their building facade but the same people have no problem having their full name (incl. partners name), phone number

Toyota wouldn't be doing it to cover costs, it would be there to generate profits. I wouldn't even mind if the app is good. We have a BMW with connected drive, the connectivity included is basically useless. It has a latency of ar

Have you ever watched anything more than one NJB video? He repeatedly bashes city centric planning and is a huge advocate for alternatives modes of transport. But to my knowledge he never even implied such a thing. In fact he even shared so

Absolutely agree on Hetzner. For raw compute Hetzner managed to create a fairly compelling offering. The pricing is very affordable and the performance seems as expected, not as unpredictable as with lots of small hosters

I think it is fairly impressive that Apple managed turn 200€ earbuds into disposable tech where users accept that they have to switch every two years or so. Before the arrival of the first generation AirPods, most people wearing AirPods tod
