  • While driving, I was using google maps on android auto when I wanted to find the nearest charging station. So I used the search function in google maps. By tapping the microphone button. IN GOOGLE MAPS. Saying clearly: “Charging station”. TO GOOGLE MAPS.

    “Ok. Playing playlist ‘Charging station’ by [some random user] in spotify”

    … Nothing.

    Apparently my girlfriend, who was at home, was using Spotify at that time. So it changed the playlist for her.

    Technology is great.


  • I never cared a lot. While I do notice the difference immediately, it never makes the experience differ in the long run. I have watched full length movies on the cover screen of my Samsung Zflip5 without feeling that I missed out on anything.

    I have a nintendo switch which I have used a lot. Even though I have a nice 55" TV and a decent soundbar, I very rarely connect the switch to the TV. I much rather use it in handheld mode so I can sit in any angle in the sofa. I guess I value comfort a lot higher than high fidelity.



  • From the article:

    "Given that this restaurant is neither owned nor operated by Disney, we are merely defending ourselves against the plaintiff’s attorney’s attempt to include us in their lawsuit against the restaurant.”

    I don’t have anything to defend or oppose that argument, but if it’s true, why would disney have to be a part of the lawsuit at all? Isn’t it then just a terrible preemptive move to refer to terms of the Disney+ membership?


  • Fluent in Norwegian and English. Norwegian allows me to basically fully understand Swedish and Danish, but my mimicking/mocking of those languages does probably not count as languages I can speak.

    I also have some very rusty german education which would probably allow me to be understood, but hardly enough to have a conversation.

    I brought a used bottle of vegetable oil as my drinking bottle to an event. What I didn’t consider was that the bottle resembled a vodka bottle, so while I was taking sips of it and thought it was funny, people just thought I was a raging alcoholic.
