Tech, life and everything else
At first I missed the news, but today I somehow stumbled across it: Google has released an early access version of “Chrome OS Flex”, as a result of the integration of CloudReady into Chrome OS. CloudReady also ran under my radar until today, but I did take the time to give both a try.
Deezer announced today that it is raising prices in Germany and Austria for new customers. Premium now costs 1€ more. But (for new customers) Premium also includes Hi-Fi directly.
I probably spend more CPU cycles optimizing the program than the program optimization will save in CPU cycles. 🤔
I read this very long article about Telegram today and somehow it left me with mixed feelings. The article is also from WIRED, but it offers more balanced coverage than an article from a year ago.
It’s been about one year since I switched to Deezer. Yes, I switched before Spotify became uncool! 😁 So, how happy am I with Deezer today?
I recently bought a new printer: the Xerox B225. I discovered it by chance (while looking for a good printer) as a reduced return in an online store. Someone must have just tried it out briefly and sent it back. I’m happy!

It seems that mobile reception along German high-speed train routes has improved lately (at least compared to 2019). I’m sitting in an ICE 4 between Hanover and Hamburg, and I’ve initiated a speed test via USB tethering. My mobile phone contract is limited to 10 Mbps, but I seem to be able to take full advantage of that.

Update: Thanks for all the answers! I have now tried to repair the ink cartridge, now something is printed again, but somewhat blurred. I finally decided to buy a black/white laser printer with scanner, a Xerox B225 as B-ware. I will probably report…
