There’s a Norwegian version of the idiom “like a fish out of water” that translates to “like a Dane on skis.” And an old Norwegian phrase for someone sneaking out of a party without saying goodbye is “making a Swede of oneself.” Conversely, a Finnish euphemism for vomiting is “speaking Norwegian”

Repaired one of my MX Master 3S mice which were damaged in a backpack. They're surprisingly repairable - no glue, no solder needed, just some annoying clips. The replacement shell was about 28€, much cheaper than replacing a whole mouse. Note the easily replaceable battery pack.

It's 25 years since Deus Ex was released, so we went & played it. And then we recorded a podcast chatting about the marketing, the pre-launch press coverage, and whether the game's any good in 2025. I’d love it if you gave it a listen. Thanks x o x o

This week on the blog! We're looking at the movie motif of having a whole bunch of archers 'fire' at once and discussing what is volley fire for and both why archers couldn't do it and why they wouldn't do it even if they could! acoup.blog/2025/05/02/c...

sigh I don't know who's throwing those 10/10 reviews to Expedition 33. The combat is riddled with issues which make it exceedingly tedious.

These new GPUs have gotten outright massive. Took a lot of work and some chassis bending to get the darn thing into the box.

Ok, I think either AirBnB or Apple have to do something about the way Apple Intelligence parses AirBnB’s emails… This host actually left a very positive review, but the way the email is written completely sidetracks Siri…

Strava "AI" nonsense Out of curiosity since I could not find any way to turn it off in the settings I wrote to support and this is where they hid the opt out: Go into an activity Tap “Say More” under the Athlete Intelligence section. Click “Share Feedback” and then “Leave Athlete Intelligence.” 🙄
