    I WFH, so my chair gets a lot of use - it’s one of the tools I use.

    If I was an electrician, or I commuted to work I know I’d be paying for tools, fuel, repairs, train tickets etc

    I don’t know what your circumstances are, but I find a cheap chair falls apart pretty quick.


  • The better office chairs have 10+ year warranties, if you spread out the cost of buying a cheap chair (£150) every 2 years Vs a £1000 one that lasts 10 years its not such a huge difference in price whilst the benefits to your back are worth much more.

    I know not everyone can afford this, but it’s worth checking for interest free credit from either the manufacturer, store, or even PayPal / klarna (which is what I did).


  • So I was trying to think how I’d implement it, and I agree if it’s simple then it really only needs to set the brightness level once, then remember if the user adjusts it, and reuse that adjustment for every lux reading.

    Hence the example I gave:

    Take the ambient light level (lux).
    Set brightness to 5.
    Log that the user has made it 1 level or 10% darker.
    Next time it senses the same lux level, set the brightness 1 level lower



  • I totally agree with you.

    However there is one smart feature Samsung has that I like. The screen brightness auto adjusts based on the ambient light, but if I change that automatic brightness (I prefer the screen darker) it will remember that and consistently adjust the brightness.

    I’m not sure it’s really an AI feature…

    Take the ambient light level (lux).
    Set brightness to 5.
    Log that the user has made it 1 level or 10% darker.
    Next time it senses the same lux level, set the brightness 1 level lower






  • As a Brit I was watching the storm coverage in the USA yesterday and marveling at the number of locations named after European towns, and chuckling at the lack of imagination of the early immigrants.

    Composed of 18 images, this natural-color mosaic shows a boulder field on “Mount Washburn” (named after a mountain in Wyoming) in Mars’ Jezero Crater. The Perseverance science team nicknamed the light-toned boulder with dark speckles near the center of the mosaic. “Atoko Point” (after a feature in the eastern Grand Canyon). The images were acquired by NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover on May 27, 2024, the 1,162nd Martian day, or sol, of the mission

    But it turns out nothings really changed on the naming front… however I’ve never had to name a place so I can’t really claim I’d be any better!
