This floating AI turd button in Excel has been genuinely infuriating. It's distracting, laggy and only turns off temporarily.What are the best / worst AI product integrations you've seen? I'm making a list for a future video.

If Trump and Musk were women we would never stop hearing that Women are too emotional to do politics π

Fun fact: You don't have to do any of this when travelling to the evil, socialist, anti-free-speech China, EU, etc.https://www.thejournal.ie/us-visa-changes-6740830-Jun2025/

The US government visa application website asks you to use a photo cropping tool to upload a profile picture which takes you to a notice saying it's temporarily unavailable ... since 2020 πππππ

I recently realized that you can just buy random discarded silicon wafers off of Amazon / AliExpress for a few bucks. Just got my first one. Will be a nice video prop π

Merz says he won't put pride flags on Bundestag for pride. So BVG (the Berlin public transportation company) put pride flags all over the Bundestag station π

Got a bit overwhelmed with the world so I spent the whole day biking to a park, reading a few chapters of a good book, riding to the next park, reading a few more chapters, etc. 9am-6pm. Like a holiday in my own city. What an incredibly relaxing thing!

I recently talked with a guy who builds software for small & medium sized German insurance firms and he says almost all of their clients are working on removing US services from their tech stack due to perceiving them as highly risky. This includes cloud services, office tools, AI tools, etc. So far he said the switch is a mixed bag with some successes and some blunders, but the push is very clear.Highly anecdotal stuff, but maybe this cut is deeper than I expected.

The funniest example was one firm switching to Zoho mail. They said using an Indian service was way less risky than using a US one. It's hard to describe how much goodwill towards America Trump's policies have erased.

I've lately been quite obsessed with this app called StreetComplete. It gamifies contributing to OpenStreetMaps in a really nice way by giving you you little quests to do while you walk around. A fun way to get some steps in, to make you look closer at your environment and to do a good thing! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.westnordost.streetcomplete

Now that it is official US policy to promote regime change in Europe and to dismantle the EU I wonder if we will take sovereignty over tech more seriously

I find it very frustrating that the only opinions people seem to be able to have about AI are:A/ it's the next coming of Christ, just deploy it everywhere, and if it has any issues those will be fixed with the next update anywayB/ it's completely useless, has never and will never do anything useful and it's all just a scam by tech bros who are too dumb to realize that it's useless
