It's an air quality measurement tool (I'm just recharging it, not actually what I'm working on ;))

After 20 years, it's finally time for some new mattresses... 7 zones, tons of layers, etc. ... in two weeks, I can finally get a good nights sleep again! (I hope)

So, my bed is now 20 years old and I'm starting to think about replacing it... so I was looking at beds, and... wait... 5 million DKK? How?!? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You could buy a house for that, several houses even (outside the bigger cities) (£580,800 / €686,000 / $768,800)

I'm going nuts... this is the radiator line going through my home office, from the ground floor to the upper floor... (sound on)

I I might be weird, but one of the most insane things I have ever seen is this new trend on Instagram of spraying your bed linen with some kind of scented mist before going to bed. I'm one those who are allergic to perfumes. I have no idea if I would react to this, but the very idea is just nuts!

The good thing about getting old is that you can just ignore things like this ;)

I just tried this with Gemini... and while it didn't add an artist signature, this AI generated image added the New Yorker logo to it ... 🫤

I have a weird problem. When I write, even though my brain thinks about what to write, my fingers sometimes 'take a shortcut'. I wanted to write "audience engagement", and my fingers wrote "audiengement" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This happens multiple times per week...

Every single day, the top source of malicious traffic to my site is coming from Microsoft's and Google's cloud servers. Meaning, Microsoft and Google is both enabling, allowing and profiting from hosting malicious bots.

So, an acquaintance told me that he had COVID last week. Remember COVID? That thing everyone just pretends no longer exist? Yep, it's still here ... in fact, this is the graph for Denmark, showing it coming back again (and again) for another winter season.

I cancelled my YouTube premium subscription about a month ago, which means YouTube has no gone into "no.... please come back"-mode ;)

Here is how to disable Firefox's hideous new UI. No Firefox, I don't want my browser to have a color tint. I want it to be neutral in color so that it doesn't clash with any website color.

They are coming back...!! ;)

Thomas Baekdal @baekdal.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Did you know that Denmark is currently being invaded by the Dutch? ... at least according to what is flying over my home ;)

Sometimes when I get bored, I ask the AIs to turn an image from old animated tv show into a real one. Is there any purpose to this? Nope... it's just some strange form of fun. This example is from the old animated show 'Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century'.

I have spent all day today getting to Inbox Zero ... I dream of the Roman era ;)

I'm spending my Sunday answering all the emails I have been neglecting because there has just been too many things to do....

Thomas Baekdal @baekdal.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Heh... Google has been jealous of the other AI companies for all the press they were getting, so now their AI hacked something too 😂 ... and just like the other examples, it's all fake. They didn't hack anything. They went through a door that was left open to them.

Thomas Baekdal @baekdal.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I must admit, this is a bit of a problem considering I'm a media analyst ...

Thomas Baekdal @baekdal.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

I generally hate captcas, but what I hate even more is when a captcha is just straight up wrong because the images were not picked by actual humans. No Google, that roadside embankment is NOT a mountain.

I just found my old DVD set of Spin City (1996-2002) ... those were the days ;)

My sister lives in Canada, so I fully endorse this ;)

Remember back when this was the latest tech? ;)

This has to be one of the most irresponsible front pages I have seen. Yes, a train was attacked, and yes, shortly before that another train carrying diplomats crossed through it. But the train in this image IS NOT the one Boris Johnson was on.

Am I sensing a bit of tension from Claude? ;) Claude Code: "This is a substantial build — new app plus a small extension to the Notes app."

Claude has now been working for 40 minutes trying to build something for me ;)

Look newspaper, I know you feel it's incredibly important to report everything Trump or Netanyahu is saying, but the problem we can't trust a word of it. So, from a news perspective, and as a news reader, this has zero valuable information. I might as well just not read the news at all.

Thomas Baekdal @baekdal.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

YouTube has started showing video from weird channels that claim that people have died (they haven't) ... I mean... what the heck?!? Mind you, I'm not surprise that these video exist. There are many scammers online. But why is YouTube's algorithms featuring them?!

Oil tankers are civilian targets. There are no soldiers onboard any of these ships. And on top of that, think about the environmental damage.

I must admit that my cycling took a bit of a break during the summer when it was 30+ degrees... but now that it's Autumn, I guess it's back to the time trials ;)

Just a reminder: Every single time the petrol prices goes up, the publisher subscription rates drops. Not because those two have anything to do with each other, but because it makes people stop spending money, and most media is not a critical need.

Thomas Baekdal @baekdal.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

There is something I don't understand. I can draw, in fact, I made the drawing you see below. I drew the lines, the leaves, animals, greenhouse, etc. But... I can't write by hand. Seriously, I had to write a note today, on paper, and I seriously struggled with every letter. I mean... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The problem with adversarial patterns is that it's battle that cannot be won. As soon as the AIs learn a bit more, then that too is easily detectable. Case in point: Claude

Danish farmers are demonstrating against climate regulations, by driving around the capital with heavy-polluting tractors.

I wonder how long it will be before YouTube starts offering me discounts to come back.. ;)

Graphic card requirement Forza Horizon 4: NVidia GTX 1060 Forza Horizon 5: NVidia GTX 1070 Forza Horizon 6: NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti Can you tell the difference?

Thomas Baekdal @baekdal.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

What the actual... I cancelled my YouTube Premium subscription a week ago (which expired at the end of the current payment cycle) ... so YouTube showed me this today: I mean... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, what a bad poll. 4 goods and one 'not good'. Why are they even doing this? This is useless as a metric.

Thomas Baekdal @baekdal.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

For f.. sake Google. Why did you sign me out in the middle of me writing a sentence!!!

I came across an old 'Podcast' folder on my backup disk.

With YouTube Premium's massive price increase, I'm thinking of dropping YouTube Music and just going back to my old music library of the past. So, I just launched the old iTunes, and all my old music is still there.

Thomas Baekdal @baekdal.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

I already think YouTube Premium is too expensive... this might be what makes me cancel:

Thomas Baekdal @baekdal.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

I must admit, I didn't expect this big a difference. I have been washing dishes by hand my entire life, until six months ago when I bought my first dishwasher ... and every month since, I have used between 8% to 12% less hot water each month.

Thomas Baekdal @baekdal.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

I have never understood why subtitles will tell you when music is playing. Surely that has no meaning to someone who can't hear, and if you can hear, well then you can also hear the music.
