That is true, but my smart TV and smart scale both got something like 5 years of updates. Who buys a new scale every 5 years? My parents still have a scale from the 90s that works fine.

Keep running it for a while and after some time 5 or 10 years you will struggle when people ask you about (basic) Windows stuff.

A while ago I came to the conclusion that a Casio G-Shock is the best watch. They don’t have to be expensive, a good one will sync the time multiple times a day, so it’s always accurate. A good one also has small solar panels in the watch face, so the battery will never be empty, and all of them are really build to last.

From a pure functional perspective I think it’s the best watch ever made. It basically tells you the correct time, always.

When I search in a 30KM radius, the cheapest house starts at 140K euros. You only get 19m² (204 sq ft) so it’s like just one room? But for 150K you can get a 55m² (592 sq ft) house that’s probably a bathroom, livingroom and bedroom.

Per square feet actually more expensive, but houses in the Netherlands aren’t that big anyway.

I was thinking this as wel, we have an entire generation that is poorer than the previous one, something that you basically never see in history.

Also it seems that politics has gone utterly insane. At some point I feel left vs right was about money. Should we help the poor and take more from the rich or should we lower taxes etc.

Now it’s about wokeness, crazy conspiracies, actually supporting Russia (like wtf happened there), etc.

Am I the only one that just did

Loves computers -> got an engineering degree -> had coworkers I looked up to all using Linux -> started using it myself -> wife and kids

This is just the lastest thing, it used to be the old IT guys and the ones with a beard, long hair and a metal shirt.

Maybe some space shrooms for later
