Not sure why you’re downvoted…

I enjoy a fake burger from time to time, but if we are honest, then criticizing ultra processed foods should always be fair game. These fake meats should be eaten in moderation next to a nutritionally balanced diet of mostly whole ingredients.

More from the produce section and less plastic wrapped goods.

I prefer an e-bike future

Light mode is pretty hard on the eyes in dim lighting, the same way dark mode is in full sun. Health-wise, it’s best to decrease the amount of light as bed time approaches and that includes screens beaming light into our face.

My computer defaults to light mode every morning and then I toggle dark later in the day when it becomes the more comfortable setting. So, for me it’s not really about “preference”.

Very happy to have dark mode Wikipedia for late night queries!

Light mode in a well lit room, dark mode in a dim room. It solves the contrast issue in both cases. Try it :)

I toggle via keyboard shortcut depending on conditions.

Exactly, I toggle via keyboard shortcut depending on lighting conditions. Super nice to have proper dark/light mode support, especially if it can use the system setting.

There is more to AI than self driving cars and LLMs.

For example, I work at a company that trained a deep learning model to count potatoes in a field. The computer can count so much faster than we can, it’s incredible. There are many useful, but not so glamorous, applications for this sort of technology.

I think it’s more that we will slowly piece together bits of useful AI while the hyped areas that can’t deliver will die out.

I like the new design more but agree the menu height should be smaller or adjustable.

The USB port of the machine is also an attack vector.

  1. Infect the machine and reprogram it to infect every drive being flashed
  2. Hacked media would install Bitcoin miners on the victim’s “smart” TV
  3. ???
  4. Profit
 

I recently stumbled upon this articles which nicely illustrates the growing problem.

 

Demand segregated bike paths!

 

It was a bit to bumpy for the computer so we brought that with the metro.

 

Our washing machine broke last week and the first thought was to buy a replacement but I wanted to at least attempt a repair first.

The machine would still fill and empty water, but the dishes remained dry and there was a burning smell. So, I unplugged it, tipped it over and popped open the bottom cover.

Aside from the controller, the dishwasher was very simple: a drainage pump, a circulation pump, a heating element and some solenoid valves. A multimeter showed the (main suspect) circulation pump still had continuity which narrowed the search down to the pump’s starting capacitor. Seven euros and a few days later and it’s back in action!

The simple fix really gave me a sense of joy and satisfaction. It feels great to extend the use of something that I already have rather than need to consume more.

Can anyone relate? Any good repair stories?

I’m a big fan of the right to repair movement.
