It’s still a bit early to say anything definitive, but it might be that the M4 MacBook Air is the best laptop I’ve ever used. But so far it feels fantastic.

It’s one of those days

It might not come as a surprise to anyone, but the low-light capabilities of a 45.7 megapixel camera from 2018 is worse than from a 24.5 megapixel camera from 2024. Who could have guessed?

Springtime

I wonder if someone took the chance to clean their clothes

Where does this end up

I’m loosing all of my CS credibility, in the list of processes on my machine I read “codesign” as “co-design” not “code sign”. I’m getting old.

Time to leave work

On Friday, I went to an event to take photo. I asked people if someone didn’t want to be in the photos and then “can I take a photo of you so I remember that you don’t want to be in the photos” 😁

The irony of a company selling “from EU” but shipping from outside EU … that’s the part I want to avoid.

  • ohh no, why did they ask that question

  • ohh god, I passed

I hope they liked the photos

Sigh, sometimes there isn’t much you can do ☹️ My task was to take some photos from a course at the university that wasn’t boring photos of students doing presentations … well, it turned out that the only photos that could be taken was boring photos of students doing presentations ☹️

The toilet for those who have extra long arms

An accessible restroom with a toilet equipped with support rails on both sides. There are paper dispensers on the walls and a wastebasket with crumpled tissues nearby. A tiled floor and a small shelf are also visible.

Warm up

Two hands engaged in an arm wrestling grip, symbolizing competition or struggle. The image is in black and white, focusing on the clasped hands with blurred surroundings.

I love hi-tec solutions

A room with a glass roof, featuring a blue tarpaulin set up for protection or construction. There are tables and chairs, a vacuum cleaner, and various black containers on the floor. A potted plant rests near a large glass window. Snow
