2019-08-02 Blender 2.8 Go, Grap IT!
Because in my opinion there's no better open source project out there. Your project can literally save shit load of money in software licenses by using this amazing piece of open source software. Also what so often is left without a mention is that Blender also does Video Sequence Editing, not the best solution on this appartment but probably the only flaw in this software. Still the best free VSE I have found for tiny video editing needs.
Watch the
video
, get excited, download the software, create something and support the project!

Main message here being that real world adoption of this and other crypto projects are starting to increase in numbers, is it good idea to miss the train to the future?
2019-06-11 Google misusing its market leader position
Cryptoslate and
Rootdaemon writes about Google plans to make adblocking harder or totally impossible on the chrome codebase. This really doesn't blend well with netneutrality, privacy or users right to choose HOW they would like to use their software.
I personally see this just a continuation to a never-ending chain of decisions from the dominating advertising parties to mitigate users right to choose anything. Apple kind of started this all by making closed up hardware a major thing by pointing out how bad MSN Windows experience was back when ipod took over the mp3 player markets.
Gladly there are those organisation that won't swallow all the never-ending Scheisse from the corporate world. Brave and Opera browser developers have already given a comment that they will probably not support Google's shove it up in to your arse policy considering the planned codebase changes in Chromium.i

2019-06-05 Bilateral trading between Russia and China
Big news from the world stage if the written story about Russia and China starting to use national currencies between the countries as a trade payment option.

Amazon has filed a crypto related patent. According to the writing the patent descripes a Prove Of Work system that uses a Merkel Trees. Not so long ago I rid
this article

So maybe there's a plausible change that Iota is also related to the Amazon patent somehow?
Just remember that this is just a speculation on my part and I have NO proof that My speculation have any consensus in reality.

2019-04-09 Coordinator Roadblock
I have read so many times how IOTA isn't a decentralized network as long the coordinator is online, making sure that the growing tangle network doesn't get hijacked by malicious attacker with sheer transaction volume.
Well you know what, there has always been roadmap to remove the coordinator as long as the project has been existed.
April 10th 2019 coordinator will be changed for a open source counterpart which is just another step closer for total removal of the all controlling coordinator.

2019-03-14 Guano tree has no guarantee
No answer from the "support" to my problem, so this means no guarantee what happens to your gift tips if anything... or am I too positive and naive to think there was any to beging with reading these rambles?
Because of the GDRP no statistics are kept on the disk.
update 2019-03-15
72h later and still no answer, seems like they have undermanned support.

120h later and still no answer, support seems to be giving me the well known silent treatment.
How is this helping to solidify the trust to the Brave project?

148h later... makes me feel the support is scam or a legend. How could they organize their supoprt better so users would not have to wait answers, well about a week?

2019-03-13 Same shit everyday
Brave publisher account still under review so no idea what happens if you do a gift tip.
Contacted the publisher support yeasterday but I don't think they are very keen to hurry
or give support for minor publishers like me.
Also depending the reason behind this the claim of "Brave respects your privacy"
starts being a shaky claim in my books.
2019-03-12 Payment Master jumps in

2019-03-11 3MEAR UltraTech and ClearEAR plugs
I got tired to the yellow foam in my ears while protecting my hearing on the rare concert events.
And tough that there gotta be some decent solution for hearing protection in the form of a earplugs.
Light ducking around revealed that you don't have to spend that much money for filtered plugs.
Stumbled across EAR UltraTech which delivered good result according
one
Finnish review,
so no comprehensive comparison or forum diving this time. Also these plugs were available at local store.
While at the store my eyes also found basicly the same design featuring ClearEAR plugs and because the price was 3€
I tought what a good opportynity to do a quick comparison between the earplugs and is there any real differences.
So for 12€ you get 3M
EAR UltraTech UT-01-003
"musical" earplugs and for 3€ you can get 3M
ClearEAR 20
earplugs.
Specs wise things fall like this, according to the packaging.
UltraTech: SNR=21dB H=21dB M=18dB L=16dB
| Frequency (Hz) | 63 | 125 | 250 | 500 | 1000 | 2000 | 4000 | 8000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mf (dB) | 14.3 | 15.3 | 18.1 | 20.8 | 21.8 | 26.3 | 21.5 | 27.0 |
| sf (dB) | 3.3 | 2.9 | 3.6 | 4.3 | 3.5 | 3.0 | 3.2 | 4.7 |
| Mf - sf (dB) | 11.0 | 12.3 | 14.5 | 16.4 | 18.3 | 23.3 | 18.3 | 22.3 |
ClearEAR 20: SNR=20dB H=23dB M=17dB L=13dB
| Frequency (Hz) | 63 | 125 | 250 | 500 | 1000 | 2000 | 4000 | 8000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mf (dB) | 8.8 | 11.7 | 14.4 | 18.0 | 20.9 | 26.4 | 31.3 | 36.4 |
| sf (dB) | 3.9 | 3.9 | 2.9 | 4.2 | 3.4 | 3.9 | 5.8 | 5.0 |
| APVf | 4.9 | 7.8 | 11.5 | 13.8 | 17.5 | 22.5 | 25.5 | 31.4 |
| Legend |
|---|
| Mf = Mean attentuation value |
| sf = Standard deviation |
| APVf = Assumed Protection Value |
| APVf (dB) = Mf - sf (dB) |
Conclusion
Well for my pessimist expectations the price isn't there just for to screw out of the people.
As the packaging upper right icons reveal the ClearEAR muffle the low sound much more
and the overall protection is on the heavy side, making the experience a bit too muddy.
BUT if you're in a nightmarish loud bass saturated bar environment
these would probably provide a nice protection for your all ready alcohol muffled hearing.
What comes to the ClearTech "musical" earplugs, they deliver much more clearer result
Also the longer shaft provides a nice help for inserting and removing these from the ear canal.
But these are cleary my favorites out of these two and I eagerly wait how do they perform in a
real life concert situation, do they provide enough protection and clarity in a such envinronment?
2019-03-11 IOTA performing live in UK
According to the bitcoinexchangeguide.com IOTA will hold a life demonstration at the UK parliament March 12th, which is tomorrow. This just shows how much effort the project is giving for the Iota to become the global standard for the industry. This is exactly the kind of work that's needed for the dream to became a reality in the near future.
2019-03-10 Braving news
Tried to login to the Brave publisher site today and was greeted with this vague message.
I don't know what's behind the message but meanwhile any BAT gifting should probably be withheld

Kind of this is cool to think what kind of conspiracy theory or political agenda they have going on behind the curtains.
Meanwhile I'll wait my frozen contribution millions

2019-02-28 Something ready maybe?
Most of you probably have already forgot the IOTA project, because they don't really seem to care about the token evaluation
or the hype around the cryptoes. But behind the scenes there's yet another production ready solution for car industries this time, according to the article released by the accessec.com. Personally I really like the attitude of the whole IOTA team, they are there to make the history of the future.
2019-02-23 Mainstream adoption, START!

Finnish people can order alcohol from any EU country if they take care of the delivery them self, but can't order alcohol from Finnish webstore because... no logical reason, if it's not spefically allowed it must be forbidden by default in Finland.

There's a screenshot of the alledged new phone with a claimed Samsung Blockchain Keystore feature.
Only problem to me is that this could be just some alpha stage 'Let's try this' developer feature that will be dropped by the release or photoshopped fake news. Even planned leakage from the Samsung to test out the general approval and interest against this kind of feature can't calculated out of the picture.

For a personal project and not just some news link I chose to be worthy of your time.
The Blog writing tells a story of my small painting project related to my amplifiers knobs.
So this story could be called a knob job. Maybe we should have a holiday by that name.
I just stop here before this gets out of hands and gets too dirty to release.
2019-01-09 The Internet You know
Maybe not be for long if the forces of convetional order get to decide. For Finnish users EFFI Ry. clarifies the current situation happening in the hearth of the EU directive generating bureaucracy machine.
Some madman has been lobbying some where without a speck of common sense and someone equally retarded in the group of apes have tought this good enough idea to process forward.
The Story goes in short like this, if the copyright directives 11 and 13 will pass the publishers are held responsible if some one itentionally or accidentally posts some copyrighted material. In example Youtube is already filtering out or non-monetizing videos that A.I. system finds to be copyrighted for some one else. Nightmare scenario would be that individual publishing would take a huge hit, well this is nothign compared to the link-tax idea those maniacs have ready for us. Article 13th kind forbids sharing hyperlinks if it's interpreted like the copyright fanatics at media industry paylists like to do so often.
In example you would be breaking the law by posting and sharing some news article from some news site without their permission, let's say in your Whatsapp group and why stop there argue the media lawyer why not also make the Whatsapp responsible for your linkings.
As you probably already have, as do I a very grimm painting of the internet of the future if this carries on.
So why not for a change we do something else than look those cat videos and Instagram photos and try to keep the internet free4all?
2019-01-03 Well what do you know
Just when the year has changed and Olympus imaging division released, like nothing in the year 2018.
They kickstart the new year with their pro line M-news.
I just got a newsletter including teaser
for their upcoming camera release. I secretly wish that Sony has their sensor technology implanted
here because anything else is a let down in my personal opinion.
2019-01-01 Do all consumers think bigger is better?
I have to refer my old post about the increasing size of the smart phones across the manufacturers.
I just had to return to this topic because recently was forced to change to a bigger phone,
no matter of my efforts to try and find a decent specs 4.7" Android smartphone.
So what's the situtation now in the fresh year of 2019 on the popular Finnish electronic sellers.
Verkkokauppa.com has like nothing in the 4.7-5.1" sized phones.
- Samsung Galaxy S7, over priced, physical home button and old Android 6.0
- Samsung Galaxy J7, Too big at 5.2" , physical home button plus all the Samsung's bloatware.
- Nokia 3.1, Current market thinks that 5.2" is supposed to be small?
- Samsung Galaxy J3, First that fits the size category at 5.0" but has a physical home
- LG K9, First that could be considered if LG had a better reputation of building Android phones.
- Catepillar S31 and S41, Pricey and physical home button, probably because of the IP68-protection.
- Ulefone S7, well first time me hearing about this manufacturer, otherwise could be considered.
- Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact, manufacturer thinks that 5.0" is compact and should be priced as premium.
- Lenovo Moto C Plus, Nothing badly wrong but plastic case and no notification light? wtf...
- Motorola Moto G 5th Gen, Almost but no cigar this also has and physical home button.
So at Verkkokauppa.com there was close three contenders that could barely be considered
as a "small" phones near ~5.0" upper mark. (LG K9, Ulefone S7 and Lenovo Moto C Plus)
So let's jump to another big reseller in Finland the Gigantti and see what do they have.
- Nokia 1, Size is there at 4.5" but OS is a shaved version of Android Go
- Catepillar S31, this was reviewed already on the earlier section
- Catepillar S60, I don't know why IP68 casing should be this pricey?
- Doro 8020X, physical home and experience that Doro is aimed for the eldery
So my personal opinion and conclusion?
No, the market still doesn't have anything usable in the Android 4.7" sized scene.
Some Apple fanboy will scream his lungs out at this stage and tell you to by a iPhone XS,
But who has that kind of money to spend locked down non-customizable phone+OS combo?
My old Lenovo S660 relic served me well without the HD-gaming thirls until I dropped it too many times.
Of course you always could go some super small kickstarter phone
like the Jelly project, whish is probably too small to be usable.
ps: I don't do spell checking...
