Last Notes npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: Today I realized why @npub1gsa…q4wj was so exasperated during a conversation we had in Amsterdam around 1998 or even 1999. We’d both been hired to do regular submissions to an emerging tech magazine (the kind that, in addition to the free food in the company cafeteria, also had a uniformed bartender in the office each day - this was approaching the height of the dot com boom, remember) and I was mentioning something that a Scandinavian company was working on that would seem to be stepping closer to the vision Nicholas Negroponte had put in his book about the MIT media lab in about 1988 or so: the digital assistant that helps you plan your day with details like “You should leave now because traffic is heavier than usual on your route to the office”. Wendy seethed and declared it all pointless masturbation or some equally disparaging take. Now here I was this morning, reading the codswallop from WWDC about how Apple AI mining my “private cloud” would help me plan around a business meeting and my daughter’s violin recital or some other bullshit, I see now that Wendy had seen the future and declared it stupid 26 years before I could even wrap my brain around it; it was stupid then and is stupid now because even if it works the cost is insane and the benefit really, really dodgy. Sometimes it takes me a bit to catch up to really smart people. https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/06/11/1093577/apple-is-promising-personalized-ai-in-a-private-cloud-heres-how-that-will-work npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: @npub1ep8…29a5 I dunno. The staressa shots are good but I literally cannot make it create a puck no matter how I try. I’m just never able to get all the water through sufficiently to not have a coffee swamp in the basket. The non pressurized basket hasn’t arrived yet but honestly i’m losing faith. It MUST be user error but I can’t see how to fix it. Thoughts? npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: First shot in my new STARESSA. Delicious. The tiniest bit bitter but we used cheap Lavazza pre ground (so I didn’t make mistakes with real coffee). Yum! https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/112/539/742/555/979/958/original/bf0edc70c7848c9e.jpeg https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/112/539/742/793/433/908/original/f809fd4330f429a1.jpeg npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: Such a proud papa here. @npub1dkf…xd9f just launched the new series of hand-hammered (never lathed) hand-wiped (never electroplated) tinned copper frying pans, and oof! they're fantastic. Rocky Hill Forge pans are fitted with 304-stainless steel handles. The attachment point of the handle is extra-wide to provide stable, long-lasting support for the pan. They hand-craft each of the three rivets from pure 5mm copper... They ain't cheap. They are the best naturally non-stick, hand-crafted pans one can buy. Guaranteed for life. https://www.rockyhillforge.com/store/p/6lm5dq60q9dq2qbzihlz5zv5765pvd https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/112/537/239/068/120/362/original/3cdf5398779ce5dd.jpeg https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/112/537/239/465/291/155/original/17de49b801d00840.jpeg npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: Except I can’t find it on Amazon.de supersadface Got a link for European delivery? npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: OOOOOOH, ok, thanks!!! npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: @npub1ep8…29a5: €99 on amazon.de https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/112/528/479/500/068/566/original/cc0955bc62686022.jpeg npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: 1. Sick as a dog this morning. So is spouse. 2. It is May 28 and it is so damned cold we needed a fire. 3. Man, are we lucky that when 1, we can 2. https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/112/517/370/792/057/019/original/652f1732098c2e7d.jpeg npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: will there be a full review coming? npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: I don’t doubt that they make good stuff, I just know that that approach to marketing flies right in the face of all my values, and I try not to engage with people who do that. npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: "We like reviews if they are good" is Trumpian in its simplicity ("I will accept the results of the election if I win"), and hearing this about them makes me glad I didn't buy anything from them. npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/112/315/096/866/921/622/original/86caccce824120f1.png npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: My coworker swears by Swiss. I haven’t flown it since the unpleasantness that led to its creation. npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: I think it was Peter Ustinov who once said “Yes, and on Swissair if I make nine more round trips in first class to New York, I get a free round trip from Basel to Zurich”. npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: I was with you on that until about a year ago. I left UA in 2011 for that reason. I can only judge by international and in the past couple of years UA has absolutely upped its game. Polaris is damned good. OTOH even Condor business class puts LH to shame. npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: So here we are 45 minutes after landing and Lufthansa, the national flag carrier, on a flagship route from JFK to Munich, is relegated to a satellite terminal requiring passengers to take a train and a bus then walk about 700 meters, only to find that their baggage had not yet even begun its journey. The national shame that is Lufthansa knows no depths. https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/112/211/640/004/468/069/original/865b6ed943fdb499.jpeg npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: Oh sure. Easy jet. Spirit. Ryanair. LH. Aeroflot. npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: Lufthansa is among the world’s top five worst airlines. Maybe in the top three. npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: I can’t wait to see if they catch me. This will be very interesting. npub1y5p77plhd7w8t2jn3800z9upc5snsn8rczdt6xh5vp3rceyxmgfq8zhnwm Nick Selby :donor: Egad! It turns out that there are dangers in networks.
