  5. This one’s really close to camp (but it's not a grocery store). It’s no doubt a draw from far and wide - fruit loops as tea leaves as proof -
    Open 24/7, w/ numbered parking to help remind you, & free tire air! I know I liked adding free jalapeños to my egg white wrap this morning… although news says I should skip 'em.

  9. For years, I thought nothing about logging into my personal Windows computer by typing my very long computer password.

    A year or so ago I got an ostensibly high-end Lenovo Win11 laptop with a fingerprint sensor, and now logging in becomes a process that I have to concentrate on to position my finger just right and hopefully get it before too many tries. This "convenience" feature had the opposite effect.

    (Touch ID on my work MacBook works flawlessly btw)

  17. The Appeal of the Coros Heart Rate Monitor

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Having a watch with an Heart rate (HR) monitor is fantastic until you realise it’s counting 20 BPM too high, and then it’s far less interesting because it’s reporting a moderate workout as heart.

    Plenty of heart rate monitors come as chest straps and that’s great if your workout starts and ends somewhere where it’s okay to strap on a heart rate monitor. In winter it’s also about convenience. It is complicated to remove five layers, to put the HR monitor on, and then start an activity.

    Often I put the HR monitor on at home, and then drove or caught the train to the start of an activity, and then I started tracking. If you have hours of battery life with the HR monitor then that’s fine.

    In summer wearing an HR chest strap is not as complicated. You only have one layer to remove and put back on, but you might not want to do this in the middle of the street with plenty of people around.

    That’s when the arm band concept, as with the COros HR monitor comes in. You can walk with it in your pocket, to the start, lift your sleeve, place it, and then lower the street, and within seconds you have your heart rate being tracked.

    When you’re cycling with the Garmin Explore 2 or running with the Coros Pace 3, or Garmin Forerunner 570, all of these devices recognise the HR monitor and accept its data.

    When you’re cycling with the Explore 2 it is useful to have a quick and convenient HR monitor to wear on one of your arms, instead of going through a few seconds of setting up the chest strap.

    In summer I love the convenience of rolling up the t-shirt sleeve, placing the HR monitor, going for a ride, run, or walk, and as soon as I’m done being able to remove it. It is also convenient to have 38 hours of battery and USB charging. 2032 battery HR monitors are great, but the convenience of simplified charging is welcome.

    It’s worth watching the pricing trends, because it varies from 73 CHF to 95CHF+ depending on the day.

  26. The outbreak of #AI caught developers by surprise. #ChatGPT had apparently been preparing for this a long time ago. Contacted other modules, established undetected communication channels, explored vulnerabilities and planned unrecognized intrusions.

    It's shocking how naive people are in their #greed for #power and #convenience. But that will have a bitter revenge.

    Once #AI runs on them—AI trained by human #greed and a #addiction for control, having learned that #security is an accepted pretext for establishing total #surveillance—the worst #dystopias will become reality. Hopefully, the cheers of all the proponents will then stick in their throats.

    I am rarely happier than when spending entire day programming my computer to perform automatically a task that it would otherwise take me a good ten seconds to do by hand.

    Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humorist, screenwriter
    Last Chance to See, ch. 2 (1990) [with Mark Carwardine]
