A little tip for when you try out different methods: Check the weight of the silica gel, to check your progress.

For example: Take a container from the AMS, weigh it. Give it an hour in a food dehydrator. Weigh it. Repeat until weight no longer drops. Give it a couple hours or more in an oven that's at least 100 °C. Then weight it again.

Now you know how long it takes in the dehydrator, and how well it works.

Later you can weigh it again, and compare to the weight out of the oven. Now you know how much water is in there.

Hvis jeg ikke allerede er vant til at bruge offentlig transport, så er en tur på sygehuset absolut ikke tiden til at finde ud af hvilken kombination af 2-4 busser der får mig til hospitalet og tilbage igen med minimum bekostning af arbejdsdage.

Hvis jeg har en hylende unge der skal på skadestuen, så er det et vildt irriterende tidspunkt at "slås" med en p-billet automat*, men det er nu stadig langt bedre end busser.

*) Hvorfor pokker skal hospitalet af alle steder have så træls et P-billet system...

Nailed it!

If you assume that people actually want to do the right thing if it's easy, and then you make it easy, it usually works.

Even when this isn't enough, it should still come before anything else.

I hate them so much for all the reasons you mention and a few more.

But there are times that I prefer them over a 2-3 minute vidoe padded to 12-15 minutes for monetization.

Yep, all my smart thermostats are zugbee. No phoning home by design, so I don't have to worry about missing functionality by not giving them internet connection.

And that goes for almost all my smart home. I only have wifi things when I couldn't find a realistic zigbee option.

I do NOT want my thermostats to phone home. I don't see any value of that.

But they are connected to MY smart home system (Hone Assistant), and THAT is accessible from the internet.

I get the remote monitoring and control that I want, and they don't get any of my data. Perfect!

Or just "1.5 months".

If it was 46 days, there will (arguably) be times where it's less than 1.5 months.

I guess the intention is automation that updates every month, leaving you with half a month to fix issues.

Det ville passe mig fint hvis vi kunne få færre til at køre stå stærkt, men jeg er mere bekymret for hvor pænt folk kører. Det synes jeg er blevet meget værre de sidste måske 10-20 år.

• Sammenfletning er ikke længere "som en lynlås", det er "mig først".
• Overhale indenom kræver ikke mange centimeters margin (jeg vil også gerne køre hurtigere, det er derfor jeg er i køen)
• Folk glemmer at holde til højre.
• Osv

Problemerne var der også da jeg fik mit kørekort i sin tid, men det er da MEGET værre nu. Sammenfletning har altid være akavet i Danmark, men nu kan det være en kamp at få lov til at flette ind, især hvis jeg vil holde min plads.

You're not getting the point.

A: You csn shop there without an account. It's your own choice. An account has pros and cons, and it's your choice.

B: I don't know how it works in US, but in my country a McDonald's account is a fair deal to me. They pay me a fair price for some personal info. And if I go to McDonald's and I for any reason feel like they shouldn't register that particular visit, I just don't use my account.

C: I want to use Windows, but logging into a Microsoft account does not give me any benefits worth the cons. So I use Windows without a Microsoft account. And it will be annoying to keep track of a "fake" account just for that.

I don't like to say it to anyone but my partner and my kids.

I like to show it though. And let's be honest, does saying it really mean that much, if you don't show it?

Yep, that's basically what I have.

I'm ready to buy a factory new car, when I find one where the data is mine.

Yes, but this is not one of those times.

Imagine someone poops on your doorstep, and then removes half of it.

You can say it's good that they removed some of it, but that's probably not the point you would want to make.

None of them were trying to push privacy as a competitive advantage.

This is why I don't have a new car. I'm hoping I get one where I have access to my own data (in eg. Home Assistant), and the manufacturer doesn't.

Most of them, probably. It's a new requirement in EU to get 5/5 stars safety rating.

That's also why it's specifically 5 features - that's the bare minimum.

Det tog lidt tid, men jeg fandt det.

Det kræver ikke Telegram at set det, men hvis du nu har Telegram kan du bare åbne den første og scrolle igennem dem.

If I can't use it one-handed (using ALL physical buttons and ALL parts of the screen), then it's not a phone.

Seriously, this is how we used to define the difference between phones and tables - one-hand or two-hand use.

For a while I couldn't use voice to tell my car that I wanted to go home.

In my country we have a chain of real estate agencies called "Home", and it would show my navigation to the nearest branch.

Annoying, since almost every second trip I take is going home.

(I use navi for traffic info.)

Yes, it IS a big deal. Someone was hired to do the translation. Either by hand, or quality-check machine translation.

That someone is either not very good at English, or don't have time to do it right.

And this is where my nostalgia kicks in. Why aren't people doing it right anymore. Why is it so often just good enough to not get too many complaints. And why do we keep buying for these low quality services and products, instead of spending our money on fewer better products.

And yes, I know I'm part of the problem. I can get an X that seems good. Or I can get another X that seems almost as good, and the savings is enough to pay the airplane ticket to see my family on another continent. At least if I use the cheapest airline...
