    Touch controls everywhere, I’ve got an induction cook top which is all touch, (temperature is a bar you can drag) guess what happens when you’ve got some spillage while cooking. Yeah, if you are lucky nothing happens, but I had it several times shutting itself down, or adjusting the temperature, which is fucking stupid and dangerous. You want to get rid of the water with a towel? Something will trigger. Really great.

    Letting the computer decide what is best for you. There was/is this feature?! in windows 10, or 11 where it sets the color of your font on the desktop based on your wallpaper, and I did not find a way to change it. So what happens when you’ve got a wallpaper that is bright on top and darker on the bottom, like maybe a landscape image? Guess you are just not reading any of the text on the top half…


  • I am not learning Spanish at the moment but I learn more with this kind of approach. And I will definitiveley bookmark this.

    I bought the book Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata: Familia Romana which teaches latin in latin with the additional help of pictures. It is awesome.

    Does anyone know similar books for other languages? At the moment I learn Romanian, but I would love to have something similar for Polish, too.



  • I know some, I guess, hope I do not butcher them:

    German(native): Bitte/ Danke (sehr) or Vielen Dank,

    English: please/ thank you (very much),

    Japanese: どうぞ or おねがいします or ください/ (どうも)ありがとう(ございます) (Which is douzo (when you offer someone something, I think, onegaishimasu/kudasai (if you want something or someone to do something, which is following the request.)/ (domo)arigatou(gozaimasu),

    Norwegian: vær så snill / (tusen) takk,
    (Which is like “Sei so gut/lieb”/ “Tausend Dank” in German.),

    Romanian: vă rog or te rog (formal/informal)/ mulțumesc ((foarte) mult) or mersi (mult) (ă is a short a, I guess and ț is like the ts from “its”, or a German z)

    French: s’il vous plait (that one I had to look up on how to write)/ merci

    Polish: proszę (bardzo)/ dzięki or dziękuję (bardzo) (Like proshe/ djenki/djenkuje)(ę is nasalized)

    Portuguese: faz favor or por favor/ obrigado or obrigada (male/female) (o is spoken like an u) (I do not know much Portuguese (like French and Polish), in my book (European Portuguese faz favor and por favor are used, but I do not know the differences.)
