Today we did a hike with the most splendid view so far: the Panoramaweg from the Gotschna in Klosters to the Weissfluh in Davos. We reached close to 3.000 meters (with a little help by the cog railway and some gondola lifts) and saw a glacier, a moon scenery, some impressive communication and spying equipment, paraglider, cows, mountain- and e-bikers, the Davos lake, flowers, and different coloured mountains.

Sorry for the quiet time here on this channel. We decided to do a surprise holiday, somewhere where only few people are, somewhere like Switzerland. Unfortunately the people around here won’t wear masks while shopping so we educate them with militant mask wearing. On the alms and while hiking there are indeed just a few people and if you meet someone they keep a safe distance. Thank you very much!

“A timeline application on my tablet, uh, gives me a error message that says Safari cannot open the page, and then it’s got a HTML address because your iPad is not connected to the internet,” Behnken reported. “Can you confirm that Wi-Fi is off and AirPlane Mode is on,” asked Menon. Then the NASA astronaut improvised with a go-to troubleshooting step.

Was war wohl während der Apollo-Flüge das Equivalent zu AirDrop? Ein Lötkolben?

I’ve been a professional observer of the Mac for three-quarters of its life. Sticking around that long—27 years—has given me a deeper perspective on its history. I remember the Mac before OS X, before the iMac, before PowerPC, even before System 7. We go way back.

Hier gibt es die Blog-Postings, Videos (in Kooperation mit Stephen Hackett) und Podcast-Folgen.

Bitte liebes Universum, die Menschheit wird sich auch ganz bestimmt ändern. Wir sehen uns in Köln, im Carlswerk Victoria.

This is Mac OS 8, running in an Electron app pretending to be a 1991 Macintosh Quadra. Yes, it's the full thing. I'm sorry.

Es gibt sie also doch, die guten Electron Apps.

One of the first products you could purchase online from Apple was a set of golf balls and tees. Not a golfer? Apple also offered a puzzle in a can, a paddle game, luggage tags, and even a onesie with the classic Mac OS Trash icon screen printed on the front. These forgotten items and nearly 100 more products came from the peculiar world of AppleDesigns.com, one of Apple’s earliest online shopping projects.

Fast noch genialer als der Retro-Merch sind die original classic Mac OS Screenshots aus den 90ern.

We examined more than 15,000 recent popular queries and found that Google devoted 41 percent of the first page of search results on mobile devices to its own properties and what it calls “direct answers,” which are populated with information copied from other sources, sometimes without their knowledge or consent.

When we examined the top 15 percent of the page, the equivalent of the first screen on an iPhone X, that figure jumped to 63 percent. For one in five searches in our sample, links to external websites did not appear on the first screen at all.

Ab wann machen wir gar keine Optimierungen mehr für Menschen sondern nur noch für den Inzest-Walled-Garden namens Google?
