'Tone Controls' in apps from Yamaha (quick, dated), Lyngdorf (quirky), Bluesound (slow, meh)… The Sony app is too awful to even show. Still want to try the Denon/Marantz app (Heos) later this week 🤔.

It seems #Stationeers now finally clicks with me, and I'm able to survive on my own and try some first automations 🤔, after playing along with a couple of YT-playthroughs.
Still… it's just a basic base on friendly & easy Mars, no extreme temperatures or atmosphere, and plenty of energy and ice 😏.

"If you're not paying for something, you yourself are the product."
If that's true, we should maybe be paying for Search… like we're paying for Netflix and Spotify.

Hmm 🤔, I'd like small Alexa-enabled speakers (to control the lights by voice) that are also capable of playing music from Roon. My Amazon Echo (Dot) speakers unfortunately can't play Roon (or Tidal, in Europe). So… the Denon 150?
I guess the Alexa in the Denon speaker still only controls Spotify?

The software on the (kinda new?) Ugreen NAS and its available apps are surprisingly good actually, more user friendly and less bloaty than Synology & Qnap imho 👍. And totally not what I expected from a company I only knew from their phone chargers and cables 😄.

Ah, "ipcress" is an acronym, not some kind of tree or something 🤔: Induction of Psycho-Neuroses by Conditioned Reflex with Stress.
As in: "The IPCRESS File", a spy novel (Len Deighton), film (1965, Michael Caine) & TV series (new 👍).

Meh. New hi-fi receiver only uses fancy negative dB numbers for volume control.
Very confusing to noobs like me who're used to simple volume settings from 0-100 😞.

It's quite unbelievable how enshittified 💩 Amazon has become, and how Jeff Bezos apparently doesn't give a 💩 about leaving any legacy to be proud of 🤔 (which imo is the weirdest thing).

Remember: square pins on Google Maps are ads.
Some company named "BVM GmbH & Co. KG" apparently was dumb enough to send Google (🤢) some money so I would see them when searching for the city Chemnitz.
