Cake day: June 23rd, 2023

  • There was some urban legend about the (6 ?) beep signals at the end if the TV day that supposedly shut down tv relay stations. You’d hear it as a last thing in the night when broadcasting shut down.

    One legend said someone stopped all TV maliciously with it, another that a alarm clock on live TV did the same. Wonder if there was any truth to it.













  • Bought a RX 6400 for a little windoze game box, and shelled out around 30€ /35€ more at a conventional well known shop here, materiel dot net. Bought most of my stuff there over the years, nice people, etc.

    But I couldn’t just go get it, it “had to” be delivered, so I paid for that too (I guess you do the same on Amazon), high class delivery or so I thought. Ordered thursday, scheduled delivery “wednesday 8h-19h” so okay I WFH but man better be there every minute right?

    Got a confirmation SMS/Text around 12, we’re delivering your package today! (No more info).

    Surprise, they didnt.

    Suddenly it’s scheduled “Thursday 8h-19h”.

    Grrr

    I bet I would have gotten my card on saturday if I had used amazon (+30€ too…).

    I mean are brick & mortar stores dead now for real maybe?
