Whoa, I just leaned over the table with a coffee cup in my hand and my left AirPod fell out of my ear and bounced off the rim and •away• from the cup.
Close call 😅

Merz ist so ein erbärmliches Figürchen, den wollte ich nicht mal als Sportvereinspräsident.

Pretty amazing that in 2026 prices are such that you can buy an 8GB stick of RAM with a whole Mac attached to it

“For example, it only has a 6.1-inch 60Hz display — the smallest display of any iPhone 17 series phone”
Weird way to describe the best feature!

I'm listening to last week's Vergecast where they interview the Claude Code developer and I need to post here rather than shout into the void at home, to the irritation of my cats.
They give a medical example, then follow up to say, "it's not intended for medical advice".
They give a financial example, then follow up to say, "also not financial advice". (1/3)

Wir haben diese komplizierte Grammatik mit Singular/Pluralformen im Deutschen, aber manchmal klappt beides.
