Ikea-USB-Schnelllader bis 20 Watt für 4 Euro – Schnäppchen oder Schund?
Ikea verkauft das 20-Watt-USB-C-Ladegerät „Sjöss“ für gerade einmal 4 Euro. Wir haben dem vermeindlichen Schnäppchen auf den elektrischen Zahn gefühlt.

Baustellenmanagement ist in Dresden ein großes Fremdwort! Bis vor kurzem war an der Haltestelle die Sachsen Energie am Werk und verlegte Fernwärmeleitungen. Dafür waren die halbe Fahrbahn und der Gehweg aufgerissen. Jetzt wo alles wieder schön hergestellt ist, kommt die Stadt und reißt nochmal alles auf. 🤦

I think this may be the thing that truly kills the last embers of any passion I had for tech. I knew it was coming when I coined WYSIAYG (what you see is ALL you get) and here it is, only 40 some years later, and while services halting inexplicably is is a fact of computing, WYSIAYG means the software won't even try to explain, intelligent logging and troubleshooting wasn't in the Business Requirements because we all know software only ever works perfectly. If you really must know, use gdb.
It's like the old joke, spouse buys a parrot, leaves it as a surprise, arrives home to find it cooked for dinner; how could you, it spoke 12 languages! then it should have said something.

The business panel, Rebuilding Value Chains for the Open Web.
Mostly about advertising. In the backchannel “do we want to accept a little poison”?

1. Plan going to Opole, via Kościan.
2. When you enter the train to Kościan, you discover that the change to Opole is delayed 15 minutes already. Consider changing in Leszno instead; if the delay increases, you'd have more options there.
3. Discover that there aren't any more options in Leszno today. Your change is delayed 30 minutes already. Return the reservations, and take one the other way, to Poznań instead.
4. Train station in Kościan. The displays aren't showing any delays, trains are announced normally. Tell people about the delays, so they won't stand in the -10°C waiting for the train to arrive.
5. Take the train to Poznań, and try to figure out what to do next.
6. Discover that the only reasonable choice going forward is Inowrocław: no delays and good return connection. It's the same train, so take another reservation. Your current seat is already taken there, so move elsewhere.
7. Your train should be followed by another one in the same direction, that departs from Poznań 6 minutes later. However, your train ends up waiting for another delayed train, so the other train goes first. The delay further increases as your train needs to slow down after the other train.
8. Reach Inowrocław 10 minutes later. That's not a problem, since you didn't have enough to see for all the time there anyway.
9. Discover that the town is more interesting than you thought, and you'd use more time.
10. When you almost get to the station, discover that your train is 10 minutes late. Not that you have any use for that time at this point.
11. When you're at the station, the train keeps increasing delay while waiting at the previous station, in Bydgoszcz. The station displays are completely useless, as they show only a random subset of regional trains, for no apparent reason. The announcements include all trains, but are rarely given.
12. The delay keeps increasing. Start thinking about getting a reservation for the next train to Poznań, in case it arrived first. You can't return the reservation after the planned departure time, and you can't have two reservations simultaneously, so reserve the seat from Mogilno, the next station.
13. The next train arrives first. While on board, you discover that you're not going to have any train home for 1.5 hr. Take another seat reservation to Leszno, where you can change into a suburban train and get home 15 minutes earlier than from Poznań. This time, your seat is still free.
14. The train departs 15 minutes delayed from Poznań. After all, you're changing trains in Kościan.
So I was going to go south, to Opole, via Kościan. Instead, I've ended up slingshotting north to Inowrocław, and getting back home via the same train as if I were in Opole.

WTF Buma? “Deze variant is afgevallen”??
Dat is kleutergedrag van de VVD belonen op een totaal onnodig moment midden in de onderhandelingen tussen CDA en D66 terwijl nog helemaal niet duidelijk is welke partijen daar inhoudelijk bij passen.
Buma: 'Geen kabinet VVD met GL-PvdA' • Bontenbal: 'Dit weekend aan teksten schaven' https://

Chris Packham:
“Why are we unbelievably pulling back on rapidly and forthrightly addressing the greatest crisis to ever threaten our species, climate breakdown and biodiversity loss?
“Climate denialism has been a mainstream thing again, thanks to the well-oiled machines of the rich, powerful and influential lobbyists from the fossil fuel and other industries.
"We have declared war on our one and only home, we’ve set or house on fire."
