Few days ago I was talking with my wife about groceries, reminded her about buying more cat food. My daughter was sitting next to me, playing some game on her Android phone. Then she chirped “I got a cat food ad! I’ve never gotten a cat food ad before, ever! It’s like the phone heard what you just said, dad!”
Yep. VPN and Adguard are now installed to every single mobile device in my household.
This is the way.
This.
Sony’s Compact series was excellent, especially for someone with small hands like me. The bigger ones have no advantages for me.
I’ve used a Nexus 7 mini-tablet for ten years. It runs on Android 6.0 and has been able to do everything I need from a tablet. It only started to slow down drastically this summer, I guess I’ll have to flash LineageOS to give it a few more years of life.
I have many projects going on.
Complete window / frame restauration underway at the country house built in the fifties, I scraped all the original paint off by hand and now I’m waiting for drier days to finish the painting.
Fixing the terrace at the country house, I laid the first new layer of concrete to fix the corroded parts just last Thursday. When it dries I’ll see if an entire additional layer is required. Next summer I’ll also rebuild the terrace fence and install growth lines for vines over the terrace.
Acoustic Research AR-7x speaker restauration. I installed the new woofer surrounds few weeks ago, now I’m waiting for the ferrofluid for the tweeters to arrive by mail. Just yesterday I found suitable and cheap linen cloth for the new covers in a nearby cloth shop.
Fixing the rain gutters at home, the weight of last winter’s snow and ice pulled some if the screws off. This is a priority.
Yard fence repainting, I rebuilt a large part of the fence in June but the weather has been too hot / humid to paint the old parts.
New ceiling curtain rail installation at home. Would be easy per se, but it’s a two man job and the ceiling is high…
Motorcycle needs a new heat resistant paint job for the exhaust.
Two sets of new custom speaker stand parts are cut and ready for welding, just haven’t had the time to start it yet.
…and many more.
Parkside’s value-for-money quality has been astonishing these past few years. I took the risk with them maybe 4-5 years ago and not one power tool from their lineup has had any problems yet. Today I just set up their quiet compressor at my garage, and the damn thing really is so silent that you can even have a discussion using your normal voice when it’s running.
