I can understand your reservations, „running a coffee making cycle“ makes it sound as if it is some kind of machine - which it isn’t. It’s one of these percolators, made of stainless steel, that you put on your stove to make coffee. Look up

By „make coffee“ I meant „use the coffee maker as usual, without ground beans but with detergent in the water“. The fume/steam is surely not healthy if inhaled directly and up close, but then again your dishwasher vents those same fume

This works for cleaning a lot of things. I regularly clean the coffee maker (a Bialetti espresso thing) by putting some powder detergent in the water compartment, then „make coffee“ without actual coffee and leave it in overnight. Neutraliz

And shouldn’t it be possible to make the battery smaller with a more efficient motor?

Im still waiting as well. And while I’ve found it to be infuriating at times it is still better than „the real“ Office for everything I do.

Google Sheets indeed does everything a common user would expect from a spreadsheet, without having to install anything and fiddle with licenses. This in itself is the killer feature. For me personally the absolute killer feature is the bidi

I have the complete opposite experience. I use CSV files a lot, LibreCalc has a sane import dialog and handles these files near perfect by default. When working with Excel-users I always get a reply along the lines of „the file is weird, ca

That would indeed be fair. On the other hand, I couldn’t repair the clutch on a car on my own whereas taking a bike apart and putting it back together can be done in my living room if need be. On DIY: absolutely on anything not safety relat

I agree. But if the use case is „take one person for a <10km commute“ then the comparison is fair.

Nothing exotic, a Peugeot Traveller van. The spare parts were 700€, rest was labor. Took a whole day to take apart the transmission/front axle and put it all together again.

True, the price tag might buy you a second hand car. But if you factor in the maintenance cost of cars it comes in cheap in comparison. I’ve just had to replace the clutch in my car (~2200€), whereas having the whole transmission (all sproc

Exactly. It’s illegal here in Germany. I don’t know if it’s ok somewhere else.

Well, it sort of does. Imagine your doing 100 in the left lane, as does the car in front of you and the three cars in front of them. There’s a truck doing 80 in the middle lane some 500m away. All of you are going to pass it. Now a sixth ca

I know that. But what am I supposed to do when the left lane leads to the exit I want to go to? Also: there was someone in front of me going the same speed, I just left a big gap

Just yesterday I was driving in the left lane with cruise control set to the maximum allowed velocity, with the maximum gap behind a car driving in front of me. Of course someone overtook me on the right (illegal in Germany) just to swerve

Agreed. I once cross-compiled for Intel on an Apple Silicon machine while being on a Teams call. Guess what was heavier on the CPU…

From my experience as a programmer who did accounting for a while: Accounting is the easy part, but the borders to taxes are nonexistent (at least here in Germany). So when you do accounting you always do taxes to a certain degree. And this

A friend of mine has developed an assistive browser extension for people with color vision deficiency. It works on the current viewport, a selected area or a DOM element, allowing you to inspect the shades and approximate color names of the

I learned to drive in a CX Break, a 5m beast of a car. Two and a half turns of the wheel from left to right, self-centering. Brake pedal went from zero to fully engaged in one cm. And the suspension was the absolute best. Never again drove

I have also used the K860 and I like it. I stumbled across Chad Austin’s Microsoft Sculpt wired conversion [1] and I have been using it for some time now. Apart from the abysmal function keys it’s a decent keyboard, and with QMK you can mak

> Can I open the fridge while I'm at work to see if I need to get more milk on the way home? Only works for a neatly organized fridge. The way my kids cram everything into the fridge makes this feature worthless.

Is it just me or does the article only mention female examples? I specifically searched for „boy“ and „son“, to no avail.

This looks amazing! I'll bookmark it in case I have PNG/PDF labels in future. I currently have the problem that Dymo changed their tray application/print from web solution to be pretty much useless, so I bought Zebra printers
