I guess I don’t quite follow some of the logics here: some designers at Apple were frustrated by Dye so much that they quit to work for that one person who appointed Dye his current position?
The city’s note is that:
https://www.oslo.kommune.no/gate-transport-og-parkering/veiarbeid-og-vedlikehold/broyting-og-stroing/#toc-5 We don’t even read your messages, they will go directly to the contractor, and guess what is the Google review score of this contractor? 2.1:

Brøyting og strøing - Veiarbeid og vedlikehold - Oslo kommune
Vi brøyter vekk snø fra kommunale veier, fortau, trapper, gangveier og sykkelveier. Om mengden brøytet snø går ut over trafikksikkerheten, blir den kjørt bort.
Quite disappointed by Oslo city services in our neighborhood this winter: snow plowing has been significantly delayed, the work was quite sloppy. Now today would have been a perfectly fine day for cycling except for the road surface being totally icy. Some gravel would have solved that, but the city has put almost no gravel at all on the road (and sidewalks), making it extremely dicey to cycle even with studded tires (which I have).
A thread for coffee subscriptions: I just started a new subscription of Tim’s Choice:
https://timwendelboe.no/product/tims-choice-coffee-subscription/ let’s see how it goes. I realized that having just the Kaffebox one
https://www.kaffebox.no/#coffeesubscription with two bags a month isn’t quite enough. I also did 6 months of Supreme Roastworks subscription:
https://srw.no/products/6-months-coffee-subscription-two-bags-each-month-for-six-months-free-shipping and that hasn’t been quite good and show up in time.I’ve also been a fan of
https://coffeecollective.dk/subscription/ but Danish krone has gotten so much stronger against Norwegian krone lately.
Which Advent Calendar did you get this year? I’ve tried
https://www.kaffebox.no/scandinavian-specialty-coffee-advent-calendar/ for one year but each canister is slightly more than I need for a single day of coffee, so I ended up with more leftovers, same for the Onyx one
https://onyxcoffeelab.eu/products/2024-advent-calendar which is quite popular in the US. Considering going with just chocolates and get the Summerbird one:

Recently I got a Wiim Amp with a pair of Triangle Borea BR02 speakers for my desktop setup. They are relatively compact. I have been debating this vs. the KEF LSX II LT, but ended up choosing this. I ended up spending roughly the same as the KEF (with its recent discount). Quite happy with the results still. To pair with a Mac you will need a USB to Toslink adapter

Keep going on the theme of “things we keep around us“: I work with AirPods features a lot so I have quite a few pairs of AirPods lying around. I could never get used to wearing the Max for long period of time however, it just clamps my head too hard. The MASSDROP X SENNHEISER HD 6XX
https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-sennheiser-hd6xx is still the most comfortable headphones I owned. For watching TV I just pair the AirPods Pro with Apple TV which is super convenient.

My other camera is a Sony A7C (first gen). You get a lot of lens choices of course, and my favorite is a Sony 85mm f/1.8. Then it is a lot bulkier than the Ricoh GR series so I often have to leave it at home if I need to carry a lot more child stuff with me. It is still noticeably better than the Ricoh in autofocusing and low light conditions so I prefer using it indoors.
I have long subscribed to the view that you should get the best phone possible to take photos, as it is likely the only camera with you. But over and over again I found the photos from an iPhone quite flat. It just doesn’t have the same feeling I got when compared to cameras with a full-frame sensor or even an APS-C sensor. If you see the photos I took of the sunflowers in my yard you can easily see what I meant. One is with Ricoh GR IIIx and the other is with iPhone 15 Pro.
