Woke up this morning with what is clearly an eye infection. Not good. Got the kids on the way to school. 7:30 I book an online appointment with a doctor. I send two photos. 7:35 I have phone chat with the doctor. 7:38 I have an electronic prescription for antibiotic drops. 7:59 I am standing in front of the pharmacy which opens at 8:00 8:15 back home, dripping my eye 9:00 the infection has visibly pretty much cleared out I am actually impressed by how flawlessly this all worked.

President of the European Commission since 2019; previously Germany's defence minister.
Today, we have approved €6.1 billion to help Ukraine procure air defence systems, missiles, drones and electronic warfare systems. With this approval, Ukraine can purchase the Patriot equipment it needs to protect its skies from Russia's attacks. Together with our Member States and NATO, we will continue to deliver for Ukraine. So that Ukraine prevails. So that it wins the just and lasting peace it deserves. link.europa.eu

Yeap. It's just not Braun though, all companies from the 70/80s had these colors. A great book is Soft Electronics that shows all of them nicely. I got it when I visited the yearly Braun Börse in 2024 (see: https://t.co/gIcJZZjEPP) My iPhone dock was inspired by those colors. Quoting @formsarchive Braun's use of orange deserves its own case study. Related

Because I think that the modern adherence to the electronic universe is disastrous for humans, and because it reduces the vitality of the human component. I think it’s restrictive in a way that people don’t realize until it’s too late.

Their words
And in contrast to software as a service or software you'd buy off a shelf at, you know, Fry Electronics, you know, decades ago, which might help you be marginally more productive, help you get a job done. Agents, in contrast, are actually getting the job done for you. And so you're in essence hiring software to accomplish a task and get it done well.

WOW. I finally got around to transferring my biggest 401k out of @AscensusInc , and should have done it long ago! Backstory: @Vanguard_Group got out of the business of offering employer 401ks last year, unfortunately. But I trusted them enough to leave my account invested with the new company they moved us all to. Bad idea. Not only does Ascensus have high recurring fees, the web interface is also incredibly clunky, customer service phone line had a 19-minute wait, and after all that they tell me they *DON'T SUPPORT ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS OF YOUR MONEY!!!* So in order to move my account, they a… Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
