My RTX 3080 FE was loud. I decided to replace the thermal pads, which reduced the fan speed by over 50%. But the process of changing the pads wasn't without problems.

I get nervous, when I think about the changes artificial intelligence will bring to human collaboration and society. The current state of Claude AI took me by surprise, when I tried it the first time, but also made me curious.

Geforce Now wasn't suitable for me when traveling, so I ordered an ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X as alternative. Is the device my solution for gaming, when I'm not at home?

Since 2022 this blog was operated with Ghost CMS. A modern system, but it has its flaws. I wasn't happy, and now I got rid of Ghost.

Stargate is one of my favorite science fiction series. I loved the humorous and grounded approach. Space battles are secondary, the main method of travel is the namesake Stargates. But how do the addresses actually work?

I'm not a music enthusiast. In my entire life, I haven't bought a single cassette, CD, or MP3. Fortunately, music streaming services exist today. For the past six months, we've been testing Deezer instead of YouTube Music.

I've been using smartphones before the term even existed. My first pocket computer was an HTC Diamond with Windows Mobile and stylus input. Not everything was perfect, but some things I still miss to this day.

A few weeks ago, we put a new cabinet in the living room and rearranged some things. The router moved on top of the cabinet, so a bit higher and two meters further from the phone jack. Suddenly, the internet connection was unstable and would reconnect several times a day.

Unfortunately, GeForce Now doesn't fit my mobile lifestyle after all. The connection on the go is too poor and unstable. I'm looking for a device that can run games locally. The new gaming handhelds are a good option, especially the ASUS Xbox ROG Ally X, right?

My BMW 118d is now 14 years old and has 450,000 km on the clock. So, a defect isn't surprising. The vague error message, however, is. Even the workshop couldn't make heads or tails of it.
