I was forwarding something to my wife and I see this other person suggested in the recipient list. The weird way the suggestion UI is designed makes it look like they are already added, but I assumed I would have to select the person in the second forward box to add them. Anyway, I won't migrate for now though because I hardly use email anymore.

So where can you buy one of these mythical notebooks for 350€$!?!?

Every time I try to search, it's either unavailable or 100s€$ over the original price?

Watch out guys, Chinese manufacturer CHUWI was found to be involved in a mislabeling scandal that involved its CoreBook X and CoreBook Plus laptops. The company advertised these laptops as having the AMD Ryzen 5 7430U CPU, but in reality, they used the older Ryzen 5 5500U CPU.

Did WhatsApp spawn from Facebook Messenger? Perhaps this is what all those devs created.

My company is currently using PHP templates, but is thinking of replacing them with react components because the new front-end devs like them. Is this a bad idea?

I've just bought my first 3D printer and I decided against Bamboo because of the drama that has happened lately, and I'm glad I did.

I don't own an EV yet, but if I ever do, I don't want a single screen. I don't even want electric windows.

I thought I remembered using this in the 90s when it was Ask Jeeves.

Nice, I guess nobody is going to bother my Ask Alko side project now.

This is going to make it more difficult for non-open source projects to get a foothold in the future because people are not going to trust a promise any more. Like, I have this thing called a smart phone. Is it open source? No? Oh well.

Well, not sure if it's classed as a cake, but my favourite desert there was the egg custard tart.

I used to love my Sayers sausage roll as a kid. I haven't lived in Liverpool for 25 years now, but sad to hear Sayers is no more.

Obligatory dad joke.

How do you make a sausage roll?

Push it down a hill.

I find these stories fascinating. Since it mentioned the orange originally came from China, I wonder if there are varieties that are resistant while still tasting good.

Nice, I made a cotton slip for my seat, which worked the same way I guess.

This was happening to a colleague's monitor. As it happened frequently when either of us got up, I suspected it was the fabric of the chair, which was probably some kind of acrylic. I made slips for the ass part of the chair from 100% cotton, and to my amazement it fixed the problem.

Has nobody tried to create an alternative English spelling a bit like the Chinese have done with Pinyin. This would be more for the benefit of learners rather than trying to change Greek identity.
