Yep this was Canal Digital in the Netherlands. I sent them an e-mail that they should really stop doing this or I would mention it to the AP (Dutch privacy guard dog).

I mentioned it to the AP regardless.

I don’t watch tv either, I have seen it by downloading it from the world wide web which should be available in any country.

Maybe watch the tv show ‘the Good Place’ and learn something from it

You sound like someone who would enjoy that adblocker that clicks on every ad in the background.

Edit: called adnauseam.io

To me it’s sending me e-mails I have not explicitly signed up for. I have had once or twice, when I had filled out a form to order something and without pressing submit, they had already registered my e-mail address and signed me up for all kinds of spam, starting with ‘weren’t you about to order something’.

Yeah at first I was like ‘oh interesting’. Then I thought: I’d say the Ezio collection was fine and needs no remake. Then I read they would put the Skull and Bones team on a Black Flag remake and was like ‘yeah this is gonna fail, bad’

Depends, but usually someone between 2300 and midnight.

Well we’ve seen CAS latency increase almost quicker than DDR speeds. CAMM should address this issue by shortening the distance from cpu to RAM, at least for laptops.

I’d say DIMM has pretty much stranded in DDR5.

I work from home and have similar outside interests. Free time can be used to hone a skill, you just need to find something that interests you. For instance, learn a new language, take up reading, writing, some creative outlet like creating music, art etc

Once I’ve recovered from it all and not tired all the time I suppose I’d fix up the house, gardening, designing intricate sandwiches and cocktails and other drinks, write, play video games, hang out with friends, eat, drink, walk, travel… But like 5 days a week I’m gonna hang back, chill, watch tv, play video games (I have a huge backlog even though I game plenty).

My first thought too

If you do home automation you could hook it up to a cable permanently and use it as a Home Assistant dashboard. My brother in law used an old tablet for this.

It’s the same principle, true enough. But this tool I think reaches higher temps which makes it more effective.

I suffer from eczema pretty badly so I always have some sort of cortisol cream nearby. They clear up any bug bites quickly. Luckily, mosquitos prefer my wife’s blood over mine.

Not specifically mine but definitely that of my wife: a company called Beurer in Germany makes this little tool with a small ceramic plate that you can heat. Press the hot thing against a mosquito bite and not only does the itch go away, the actual inflammation is diminished. For 20 euros one of the best impulse buys I ever did.

We’ve also put in an order for an electric bicycle which I think will lead to us leaving the car now often.

I have a 2 out, 4 in usb hub with a button to switch. I press a button and my mouse, keyboard, webcam are available on my other system. I can not use them simultaneously though.

Read up on Intel QSV. You essentially only need a recent cpu. i3 would do.

I hear good things about the Intel Arc A380. You basically only need it to convert video and the Intel is not too bad at that for not too steep a price

I use a lotion called topicorte prescribed by a dermatologist. Not using it affects my eczema as a whole.

Introducing a new family member is difficult for any cat. They don’t like change. Best thing you can do is keep the new kitten apart for a while, like giving them their own room for a few weeks. The older cat should feel like it’s ‘their’ home, new blood upsets the balance of power.

After a while you can reintroduce the kitten. When you pet the new cat, use the same hand to pet the older one. Cats do a lot by smell so mixing their distinct smells will make it easier.

Also make sure the older cat has their own food, their own litterbox and make sure the kitten doesn’t take in any of their favourite spots to sleep.

It’s hard work, you’d have to constantly pay attention to the lil guy and you can’t control what happens when you sleep.

Also kittens need to sleep 22 hours a day but with an older cat around they’re gonna wanna harass the older cat to show they mean business.

I would not recommend introducing a new cat to any cat over 2 years of age. At this point best thing you can do is wait it out and hope your old guy improves.

It’s important to understand why your cat is not taking to the new one. It’s primarily the change in a familiar situation.
