  • My WH1080 weather station has a USB-A connector on the device side, I assume for the convenience of the slimmer profile.

    That’s the only natural occurrence of that cable I’ve ever seen.

    The other one was a custom board printed in 2001 at the electronics class, where I was some kind of precursor by powering it with a USB cable rather than a bulky lab power supply. As I did salvage the connector it was a A-A abomination but they had that cable at the supermarket for some reason ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Shokz Openrun, the smaller ones.

    Sound quality? Good, lacking bass but overall good.

    It has to be quite loud before anyone at the office hears anything

    A bit of everything, mostly rock, electronic.

    Comfortable Yes, all day long for 6 months straight during office hours.

    No irritation, not a trace like you would have on the nose when wearing glasses

    It barely touches the ears

    No it does not bounce, it’s super light and I got the smaller size that’s quite close to the head.

    I can barely fit my index finger between the band and my head.

    How’s the battery life? Over 8 hours for sure.

    How long have you had it? 6 months

    I wear it at work, when driving a convertible , or working in the garden. (Even with foam hear plugs when needed, it messes un the EQ balance but still enjoyable).

    Do they stay put, or do you need to reposition them frequently? No they just do their thing.

    It’s paired to both my phone and laptop, but that feature is far from perfect : windows notification messing up the music, or phone notifications messing up Teams calls/meetings.










  • For our kids, we wrote down a small set of rules :

    • french origin (with my very french and common surname, living a in french-speaking country)
    • kind of rare (I have a very common firstname)
    • that would go well or be used in english as well
    • that would survive the atrocities of the local heavy accent (teachers and so on…)
    • not too long, easy to write
    • aesthetically pleasing when written down



  • Un-smarting our home is indeed my current concern if I would pass suddenly. It’s mostly usable manually but most switches would continually try to connect to WiFi and mqtt. I rather hope have my teenager son be able to take over if need be. My passwords could be accessed by my wife anytime but I’m not sure she realises it, it would be to be documented.
