Wish someone would fix some of the more severe bugs in the Nikon 1 AW1, which they abandoned soon after release :-/ There was a single firmware update, and among other stuff, the GPS location still confuses East and West afterwards.

Agreed. Also the cropping of image previews to square format. You literally can't see the portrait orientation of the Xero Alto monitor. Argh.

Requiring an unobstructed view of the sky is pretty incompatible with sailboats anyways, unless you stick it at the top of the mast (where I expect it won't last long). Then there's also the power requirements, which I haven'

The most famous fan car was the Brabham BT46, which used a skirt and fans to suck itself to the ground, leading to a ban of fan cars in F1. "when the drivers blipped the throttle, the car could be seen to squat down on its suspension a

I think so. But we mostly cook, so ingredient availability/price is more important than restaurants, which however I also found much better in France. Of course it probably depends on the areas you visit and how you select restaurants.

That'd be France you're describing. Plus, the food is better there :)

Open source is where you don't have to apply guesswork to find out what a suspicious looking piece of software is doing on your computer.

Turbo Vision is odd. It's a backport of a graphical UI (Windows 3.0) to text mode. It was exceptionally well done in both end user and developer ease of use and caught on. But I doubt it's the optimum for a text based UI, at least

Learn a useful skill. Fixing mechanical equipment, farming, building bunkers, preserving food without refrigeration. Teach your kids those things, and how to hide in the forest.

Will NPCs finally resist when you rip open their car door, pull them out and drive away in their vehicle? That always bothered me the most of all - in a town with violence at every corner, people leave their car doors unsecured and when som

So now Adblockers need to become like anti-virus software, heuristically determining a piece of Javascript as undesirable. The arms race will continue.

It doesn't work at all. Even in marinas (stationary) it has issues - out at sea or even at anchor you can forget about it . There are also problems with them not liking you moving around. Related article: https://seabits.com

They're great, but you'll end up looking at them once a year when you do your passage planning for the next season. Excellent resource, but a bit pricey and heavy to sail around with.

MailASail itself is interesting too. They provide stripped down email hosting for cruisers on low-bandwidth connections (satellite internet, SSB* with pactor modems). HTML, attachments, signatures are stripped away. The blog hosting is desi

Mostly savings, small rental income to supplement, some stock trading. The trick is to reduce spending, mostly by not buying too big a boat. People have ideas about remote work on board, but for various reasons this rarely works out in prac

Been doing this since 2015 now on a 40ft mono(hull). Currently wintering in Sicily. Picked up a wife along the way. If you aim to do this on a budget like us, you best be good at fixing things. Plumbing, rigging, engines, fibreglass repairs
