F... you too Amazon/Audible. I want to own the books I pay for. Not just have 'access' to them as long as I keep paying you a monthly subscription.
I used to use Audible a lot. I think I bought more than 200 books from them over the years. But when they turned into this, I never used them again.
As far as I know, the water usage is less for eco mode too, but less so than for electricity. It's a bit of mixed output for quick. I have seen different numbers and some are even less water and some are more.

10.02.2026 14:56 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Maybe. It's just a extreme drop, and that only happens if people didn't feel the news 'in general' wasn't valuable to them. I agree that 'news anxiety' returned to normal, but that still just shows that they didn't have a business under normal conditions.

10.02.2026 13:47 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Hmm... with my washing machine, my experience is that the clothes is cleaner with the longer eco wash than the quick wash.

In the media industry, there has been a lot of talk about the mess over at the Washington Post, and what caused it. In my latest newsletter, I dug deeper, and explained why the problem is really about how their audiences changed in 2017.

I don't know. I have never tested it with that. As far as I know the real power/water saving it the 'soaking' where the washing machine / dishwasher is soaking for longer to release the dirt, which then uses less water/power overall. I'm not sure lower temp has the same efficiency, but I don't know

A friend of mine told me today that I should always run my dishwasher and washing machine because "then it uses less water and electricity because it doesn't have to run that long." But this is completely wrong. You want to run them with the longer ECO mode, which used way less.

No no no and absolutely not! ... (also, I stopped using OpenAI months ago, and I'm so glad that I did because it's just not an ethical company.)

No you won't. What you will actually do is to hide them for a little while and then you are going to show them all over again.

The #AI company blames the store, and they're right – the store should NEVER have hired the AI company.

Spending my Friday morning upgrading my home backup system. But instead of buying a new bigger NAS, I bought this NAS expansion box. It basically expands my existing setup with four more drives.
Now I just need to extract all the old data from the old drives.
