Easily achievable if you only take calls in working hours. Then all working hours will have more than average calls per hour for a day.

New car smell, it's awful. Sort of stale plastic if I were to describe it.

Amplified by long trips on bad roads as kid. Guaranteed to make you feel like vomiting on some sections. Now when I anticipate/pack for a trip I tend to smell that again even though I'm not even in a car.

It's worth adding I greatly prefer MS Auth style authentication, since I don't have to find the right entry to read the Auth code and then write it on the other computer. Instead MS pops a notification and you either type or select the right number, verify with fingerprint and done. Much more convenient.

It often tells you what you login into and where you are attempt to log in from, so it's a few extra layers of security for those that have that awareness to check those details.

A lot of external drives are just internal devices with another controller and casing around. I had a 4TB I used with my laptop, and tore apart the casing and just plugged it into my desktop when I built one. Unless you start hammering the external case around, the drive will be fine.

Played a lot of rainbow six siege, where you have to shoot those 360° security cameras when you are attacking. So, now I'm trained to spot those on instinct.

Pretty much anything in katakana in Japan is loanwords.

Very interesting about flew markets though, Norway is the same as Sweden here.

The simplicity of Google Photos has me still rolling with that.

But for all my music, syncthing is the best. In my case it's synced to my phone though, and also backuped up from that to the cloud.

I disabled my adblock for Twitter to see a update about game server maintenance. It showed me random posts, nothing from this year. Literally unusable site when you can't even see the latest tweets. Had to have other people tell me maintenance was extended...

Python, C#, Rust

Used a bit of C++ and Matlab, but saying I know them is a stretch really.

I'm in the MPC-HC gang on Windows. Just so much more practical than other players. The main selling point was that full-screen the controls go away once you move the cursor off them, it was amazing. And no waiting for subs to be processed like VLC had to back then, never turned back so don't know if that is still a thing.

Not to completely spring to IKEAs defense here, but I heard they really were affected by production and shipping problems during covid. It's reasonable prices would go up, and at least good that they are going down again.

At least LCD is mostly temporary according to that article.

But pixels do degrade over time, not sure if it counts as burn-in though.
