love how Microsoft's PR campaign about how they "care about user feedback" and are soooo scaling back on the AI BS in Windows is just thrown to the side in the first 2 minutes of this keynote.

I'll start using a bike going back and forth to my friends soon cause I am really too old to live with ppl 35+ and even 65+ sitting on a tram doomscrolling at full volume for 40 min+. Not bc I'm fat, not bc of traffic. Just bc I need my brain for a couple more years.

so I just installed a bunch of Schwalbe Road Cruiser tanwalls... that I paid like 12 Euro each for. and I really can't see why I would pay 45% more for these than for some Chaoyang Chinesium tires. Cause quality is really not better at all. And they're made in Vietnam as well, not locally or in EU.

today we witness how independent media is from you buying sh*t from am*zon. not. that includes our site. and soon even less of us will be around, bc fuck it, who cares, let's just have some robot scraper with synthetic text output tell us what's going on or how to live. all hail our new ai overlords

yeah well.. I guess "minos" with a 12in screen was just a screwup by some retailers. Surface Laptop Ultra is the only thing launching tomorrow. These are the demo configs that are available to order from a channel partner in DACH region. 2 Spark SKUs as expected. pricing from under ~3K to over ~7K.

still impressive how DHL can move a package from far in south western Germany to Berlin in less than 24h. TIL: there's package transport on regular passenger trains in a direct connection from down there to here. Trains rule.
