Fleeting Nine Hundred and Sixty Kilometre Range
Reading Time: < 1 minute[{.alignnone}](/richard/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_3360-300×225.jpg) For a brief instance I saw that I had a 960km range with the car. It was brief because as soon as I accelerated above a certain speed the reading went down to a normal reading. It would have been nice to have such a long…

Quick Dying Phone Batteries

The Forgotten Phone

Audiobookshelf and Driving
Reading Time: 2 minutesIn an ideal world I would use Audiobookshelf when I’m driving tomorrow. In the real world I can’t, or at least shouldn’t. The reason for this is simple. There is no iOS app which, in turn, means that there is no car play app. Combined this means that if I want to…

Who Killed Twitter – My Opinion
Reading Time: 2 minutesTwo authors wrote books. In these books they speak about whether Jack Dorsey or Elon Musk killed twitter. The answer is neither. If Twitter was alive and healthy it would never have been sold to an individual for four times its value, because its growth potential would have made this absurd. Twitter…
