My 2014 Suzuki S-Cross fuel economy gauge calculations do not match. 680 km on 43 liters is 15.8 km/l, not 16.9 as it calculated. Otherwise the distance circulator is off and I actually drove 727 km

The microphone popup in Teams is bad ux/ui. Presumably its there to prevent people from forgetting to unmute - but people always forget anyway. Instead it's just in the way all the time

Probably a terrible thing to draw you technical diagrams in Kolourpaint, but I'm sure the customer don't see value in me refreshing my tooling skills for a single isometric machine drawing 💶 ⌛🤷

My Pixel 7a sometimes shows the SIM lock screen in the morning. Turns out Resume-on-Reboot fails due to Trusty TEE issues during unattended mainline updates. Annoying issue.

Just bought a pair of... [deep breath] "Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4".

Stumbled upon this project: Bash++ (bpp.sh) It is a pre-compiler that adds classes and objects to bash. Not sure if worse or better... but interesting 👍🔎

`${parameter,,pattern}` is great, but when I need it, I cannot even remotely remember it. Later, revisiting my script, I cannot even remotely remember what it does 🤔🤷

A human memorable alternative like `to_lower(parameter, pattern)` would have helped

Cool 💻 Once upon a time I had a TS2000SX that my fathers work had decommissioned. I think it had PC-DOS 5 installed, which I then replaced with Minix 😄
