I got this Remotek One bluetooth remote control for the mobile phone to mount on my bikes handlebar.

It's quite nice actually.

The is rapidly destroying the work that has been done for the last 50 years within global trade and finance, global peace, global climate, environment, sustainability, and diversity.

The rest of the world now must build alliances and agreements without the US as it clearly cannot be trusted anymore, causing the US to be isolated.

What happens when a country is isolated? It becomes more extreme.

Gilead is no longer just fiction, it is a possible future.

This is an effective way for to drive away their users.

Having sponsored content in my inbox that clearly is from someone who has NOT read my CV and that I cannot reply to.

Perplexity have already implemented DeepSeek reasoning and I'm impressed by the speed and the presentation showing the reasoning logic and source referanses.

Also, according to my research, the future for the European tech industry looks bright if Trump starts his stupid trade war with the EU 🤔

This is how a true statesman speaks!

The USA has become a bad joke, and we're just a week in...

I wonder how long it will take before American tech companies must choose if they want to continue to be global and flag out to Canada and Europe.

The playground in our housing cooperative this afternoon.

It was a beautiful day. While many Norwegians spend this day on skiis, either in the forrest or running down a mountain, my daughter and I went for a bikeride 😍

So I bought Hollow Night on the Steam Xmas-sale. I've started it up a few times, but even though I love the astetics and the feel of the game, I find it a bit boring.

It's strange as I usually love a good indie metroidvania styled game and Hollow Night is being praised everywhere.

Is something wrong with me?

There, fixed it!

(Vinland was an area of coastal North America explored by Vikings. Leif Eriksson landed there around 1000 AD, nearly five centuries before the voyages of Christopher Columbus.)

Woohoo! They are bringing back the Pebble ❤️

I loved the Pebble , had both the Steel and the Time Round watches and was waiting for the Time Steel when they sold to Fitbit and they killed the entire product line.

Here are some of my favorite watchfaces from back in the day:

Vice City on the :

For some reason they've preconfigured it to cap at 30FPS.

I've changed it to 60FPS, but I'm generally limiting the Steam Deck to 45FPS. That gives a very smooth experience.

I also tried changing up the graphics quality. The Steam Deck handles it, but with the fan at max speed and sucking battery while the visual experience is only slightly better, so I changed it back down to the standard Low Quality profile, except for the FPS.

The game plays fantastic!

As Elon and Sundar was busy shit-posting on X, Lauren and Matt was looking at them in envy, realising that they'd put their phones in flightmode when they could have been shit-posting on Threads...

Jeff was just closing his eyes saying a small prayer, hoping his trophy-fiancée was not going to take out her phone and post another selfie on Instagram.

Thinking about getting a Instinct 3 , but should I get the Solar or OLED?

I'm leaning towards to the 45mm Solar Limited Edition, any thoughts?

I am utterly in love with this that I built today. It's great to write with and it sounds sooo good!

...but I cannot for the life of me find out how to turn it on (it's wired, bluetooth and 2,4Mhz). The battery is fully charged, but there is no on/off button.

I've had to send an email to the manufacturer and ask...

Specs:
- Maxgaming MAX65 Barebone
- TTC Titan Heart switches
- Maxgaming O-ring dampeners
- Tai Hao Smoky Quarts keycaps
- Some random artisan keycaps

If I just followed you, you're looking at my profile and think... Why the hell did he follow me?

I find that following rather random people results in a really diverse and interesting feed (especially since Mastodon is free of algorithms).

Hope you'll follow me too 😉

I received the Maxgaming MAX65 barebone keyboard today.

Moved all my TTC Titan Heart and Tai Hao Smoky Quartz keycaps from another barebone.

The right side keys have a bit strange layout so the keycaps looked odd and I replaced a few with some artisan keycaps I had to spare and have now ordered more artisan keycaps from Etsy...

I really love this keyboard though, will be awesome when completely finished.

, the hobby that just keeps costing more and more 😂

When not riding my ebike my preferred way of transportation is our EX30 .

We drove 4000km with it this summer on our family vacation across Norway.

It's a fantastic car in every way, but let's face it, the best feature is that I can play Angry Birds with in when parked... 😂

I will start following people very soon, I just want to fill my timeline with a few posts first so you guys can get a feel of what following me will add to your feed.

As you can see from the picture, I ride my all year around.

Here in Norway it get cold and snowy, but that's no obsticle, just a challenge.

I ride my bike to work every day (or at least 3 days a week), about 10km each way.
