  • Very focused on the north American market. Where I live induction stove tops have been more or less standard for 20+ years. BUT I didn’t know special round coils existed for round wokpans. Pretty cool. Although I think a wokpans with a flat bottom is fine for home cooking, maybe get one that is slightly heavier so its able to retain more heat as you work your food. It is kind of ridiculous that this would be an argument to get a gas stove, given that standard gas stoves don’t have a rocket engine flame that is required to get the real wok experience at home anyway. I don’t even think you would want that in a home kitchen. Also it is a bit niche for most people.





  • Research papers in creative cloud? I am guessing she is using something like InDesign or illustrator to make pdfs or maybe Acrobat? I think you need to clarify what her workflow entails to get better answers.

    But going with my assumptions, it sounds like she can get away with using some kind of Office suit instead, maybe 365? not that it would solve the enshitification of apps problem… But I do consider it a stable program both as installed apps and on the web. There are also endless tutorials and support to get if she is running into issues.

    With that said, it is probably not worth it if she is a boomer. It would take a long time to get into a new workflow and it would affect her output. If she is used to adobe she should probably stick to it.




  • You are right. But I still find the ‘heavier’ theory, that is what I assumed OP refered to, to be more difficult to grasp then following a basic tutorial and just trying to solve problems. In time with practice you get a better understanding for WHY the theory is how it is, and you can apply it better and of course improve your code. And that understanding will unlock more tools both in OOP and in your mind.

    So if you are struggling, I recommend not starting with theory.



  • Thanks for your answer, interesting read 👍

    That does seem wasteful of course. But I also wonder what will happen to the EV batteries in the end, and what will happen with cars that are too dependent on software, will the cars be unusable when the manufacturer does not want to support them anymore. All products get old and “worse” over time, but with EVs that seem to happen alot quicker just because of battery and software. Will there be brand new cars, 10 years from now being bricked because because the app is not supported anymore or the battery is not holding a practical amount of charge.

    I find EVs outside of metropolitan areas in Sweden being very unpractical too. Not because there are no charging infrastructure, but I find it very unreliable. I never know what I am going to get when I stop at a station, are there any unused chargers, how much power delivery, is it working at all, what kind of app etc etc. Keep in mind i drove around the holidays where, of course, alot of other people also drove, so my experience is not the most positive in that sense. It works better for everyday commuting, because of the simple fact that you can mostly charge where at home.










  • I understand this is the thumbnail they have to do to get views, he is running a business after all. And the YouTube algorithm dictates what work and what does not. But I do however feel that I can’t take his car reviews seriously, everything is compared to Teslas. Biased much? And getting exclusive interviews with the CEO?

    This is not in any way a competitor to a Tesla, why is it even mentioned at all. And this is in almost every review, it is getting rediculous. Does the channel have zero integrity? Sold to highest bidder? Does this bias spill over to other reviews in other categories, like say smartphones?

    Is this the way every tech YouTuber must go when they get large enough? Does someone have any recommendations for tech YouTubers that can actually be taken serious as consumer advice? I hate that you have to sort through so many videos and clickbait before you can find a decent review video of a product you are actually looking to buy. YouTube used to be great for this…
