Unpopular opinion but I just use Google Sheets instead, because most of my spreadsheet usage is due to work and my employer uses Google Workplace

I bought a laptop that came with a broken charger, I could easily test it myself as a friend also had an HP laptop with the same brick (this was before the days of USB C).

I tried to make a warranty claim and they wanted me to send the laptop too and wipe the HDD, the RMA process would take weeks on top of that.

I ended up buying a 3rd party charger, I'm sure their RMA process is overly long and convoluted to deter people from making warranty claims

Boring Debian for servers and Pop Os for my desktop because everything works out of the box

During my last trip to Germany I made the mistake of traveling by train. My scheduled train got canceled and the next one would come in 1 hour.

I decided to wait and when the time came, no train showed up, the display said the train would arrive on platform 5, the announcement said it was platform 5, their app said platform 5 but nothing showed up.

About 10 minutes after the scheduled time I went to the ticket office to ask what happened, their answer was a "maybe it went through another platform".

I had to replace the USB C port on my Fairphone 3, took about €30 and 10 minutes.

In any other phone it would've meant getting a complete new device

I'm stealing claer

I use glow all the time, I love it!

I've been playing with wish too, I see a lot of potential for it

you need to login to origin at least once. I played it with my partner on the deck connected to the telly using a PS4 and a Switch Pro controller. As mentioned above, I had to lower the settings too

My previous job referred to ex employees as traitors or betrayers

There's a museum of the incident with a reconstruction of the plane crash in Italy. Absolutely worth a visit. https://www.inbologna.it/the-museum-for-memory-of-ustica-in-bologna.html

It was known for a long time that the plane was downed by a missile, with the French being suspects.

I have the following apps backing up to a syncthing share

• Aegis
• OpenScale
• Gadgetbridge
• OpenTracks
• Signal

all of them were set and forget, except for Gadget bridge who would randomly loose access to the shared

The following apps allow to manually backup to a file, but not automatically.

• AntennaPod
• Catima
• Birday
• Tickmate

afaik, tyres and brakes are proprietary too

edit: nonstandard would be a better term
