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 stainle…

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 clos…

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…

Ah ok, that makes sense

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.

Cannot recommend enough, great tool!

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 featur…

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 …

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…

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 ca…

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 som…

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 o…

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 …

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 …

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. …
