Hooked on hookes

Above you see two probes that came with my DSLogic Analyzer. You also see two EZ-Hook XKM-S probes bought from Digikey at 30 SEK each. The latter are vastly higher quality - and much easier to work with since you can place them closer together due to their thinner tips. Highly recommended.

I am a strange loop

[it’s teh book review] A few weeks ago I read an interesting book; I am a strange loop - by Douglas Hofstadter. He’s quite famous for earlier works, and this book is supposed to set the record straight regarding some things he felt didn’t came out right earlier. I don’t know - I haven’t read his previous material.

It’s All About RoI

Corporate mandates like "return to the office" and "AI integration" are driven not by productivity or efficiency, but by financial interests tied to real estate and IT investments

“Back to the office” and the push for “AI into everything” have the same underlying cause.

It’s the sun, dammit!

iTunes fraud - six months and counting

Here is the text, broken up into paragraphs: Six months ago, to this day exactly, I bought an album on iTunes. On my first listening through I noticed some of the songs sounded "cut off", and went to investigate. Using song length data from other sites I concluded that two of the songs were several minutes short on the iTunes store.

Kokoon Relax headphones review

[this post has been updated, see additional edits being made at the bottom] April 2018 I saw a Facebook ad for a pair of headphones that sounded like the perfect match for my needs. I’m a severe insomniac, and a frequent flier. I’ve had the same pair of Sony MDR-NC32NX in-ear noise canceling headphones for a decade, and I was looking for something new. Yesterday they arrived. Now, this was originally a Kickstarter (and I have seen that not all backers have gotten theirs yet) but when I ordered they expected to ship them in July the same year. Delays happen.
