Nerd, dad, Lego aficionado, software developer, occasional business guy, regretful sysadmin of an escalating smart home setup.

I sometimes post about my work, but views are my own.

PwC veröffentlichte vor drei Jahren einen Report, wie man als Unternehmen eine "nachhaltige NFT-Strategie" plant. Ein weiterer PwC-Report empfahl deutschen Versicherern, dringend auf das Metaverse als Vertriebskanal zu setzen.

A very weird thing I have now learned is that we have lost the knowledge of how to manufacture cheap audio tape players that actually work well.

You can buy modern walkman-style tape players, yes, but they are crap, far worse than those we had only few decades ago. Collectors are paying fancy prices to buy used tape players and there's a niche industry of repair specialists for old HiFi equipment, because "they don't make them like they used to".

It's sobering to experience how technology can become obsolete and how quickly the engineering know-how is forgotten.

Die fossile Dunkelflaute betrifft auch den Strompreis. Man sieht, wie die Frühlingssonne jeden Tag den Strompreis nach unten drückt, aber die trotz mehr Solarertrag plötzlichen Preisausschläge nach oben durch das Zuschalten fossiler Kraftwerke erklären sich dann wohl mit dem Angriff auf Iran...
Ein aktueller Blick in unseren Kühlschrank. Ich erwähnte bereits, dass die falsche Joghurt-Kultur für meinen Haushalt ein reales Problem darstellt.

Gibt es hier oder anderswo Joghurt-Kulturen-Nerds?

Früher gab es den besonders leckeren Bulgaria-Joghurt von Hansano. Vor einiger Zeit änderte sich die Packungsbeschriftung von "Bulgaria" zu "stichfest", der Geschmack blieb gleich. Aber seit kurzem schmeckt der Joghurt völlig anders.

Das ist in unserem Haushalt ein Problem, man wünscht sich dringend Bulgaria zurück.

Weiß jemand, was da passiert ist? Gibt es andere Anbieter von Joghurt mit der "alten" Joghurt-Kultur?

A 7.5 x price hike.

This isn't even fancy high performance RAM that would be actually useful for AI applications or good enough to be used in a modern data center rack.

This is the most bland piece of hardware used for mediocre standard PC with non-exciting specs to do boring office work.

Fuck AI's destruction of the affordable home computer.

Thinking about this often.
The DOGE decision process about which grant to cancel was an idiot bro asking ChatGPT to flag those from the list that were too woke.

#Enshittification comes to another product that used to be good. A competitor to the Toniebox, the #Yoto kids' music player was advertised as a safe and screen-free music player system, using NFC cards and a curated choice of preselected internet radio and kids' podcast content. We own a Yoto and liked it very much, it's extremely well designed hardware and a smooth user experience! Now, parents are noticing a rise in AI slop content.

It's curious how "building a fast, standards compliant, open source web browser" isn't an option here.
