Lol.
Meanwhile here I am in the UK with my ADSL at 67MB down.
Lots of the UK is this way. Some of it is fast though.

So much nostalgia for the Windows 95/98 era.
Playing Descent with musicmatch jukebox running in the background. (Probably a 98 memory).

Has anyone tried any of the wacky e-ink readers on aliexpress?
I doubt they’d connect to the amazon ecosystem, but might be ok offline devices.

My partner has a newer one and it can only work offline. I can’t get it to even connect to WiFi any more.

Does it handle outline cover art (e.g. cover.jpg) correctly?
Beets didn’t, which is why I’m still manually filing my music.

I don’t need or want this, but I’m curious as to whether they will make prescription lenses for it.
The shape of the lense is unconventional.

- Comment on A growing number of young chinese people are avoiding Starbucks Coffee. US executives are furious. 5 weeks ago:
I can make much better coffee at home, and I can take one with me to work in a flask.
But lots of people don’t want to, dont have time to, or can’t make fresh coffee at home and therefore buy it out.
But even if i make it at home, if I want a second coffee during the work day, I’d have to either have instant coffee from work or buy one.
FWIW: My take on Starbucks is that their coffee is a) usually quite average at best, b) variable quality depending upon where you buy it.
Where I live there are lots of alternatives which serve better coffee for about the same price, so I don’t really see any need to use Starbucks.
Last time I had a Starbucks was on a road trip at a motorway service station. It wasn’t very good coffee at all, and afterwards I resented having paid service station prices for a coffee I didn’t enjoy. But in that scenario they have a captive audience.

Thanks
- Comment on We poisoned the whole planet so our eggs wouldn't stick to the pan 🙃 5 weeks ago:
Well, sorry. The problem is, experience with the Internet has taught me to be wary of clicking things like “we poisoned the whole planet”.
This time it was perhaps a false positive.

- Comment on We poisoned the whole planet so our eggs wouldn't stick to the pan 🙃 5 weeks ago:
I’ve not watched the video, but the wording/tone/language of the title stinks of sensationalism and pseudo-science.
If I were to click it, which I won’t, I imagine it’d be clickbait and/or nothing to do with eggs or pans.

An influencer’s review only makes me wary of a product and makes me question their motives.
But I guess others don’t see it that way, or they wouldn’t be doing it.
