yeah well.. I guess "minos" with a 12in screen was just a screwup by some retailers. Surface Laptop Ultra is the only thing launching tomorrow. These are the demo configs that are available to order from a channel partner in DACH region. 2 Spark SKUs as expected. pricing from under ~3K to over ~7K.

still impressive how DHL can move a package from far in south western Germany to Berlin in less than 24h. TIL: there's package transport on regular passenger trains in a direct connection from down there to here. Trains rule.

GT Cirque Lady's. My first GT. Made in Taiwan, again. '93. Bit on the pricey side for what shape the frame is in, but hey, should clean up okay. And I don't think this was ever sold in Germany. Picked up from an older guy from the UK who once owned a bike shop over there. So he set it up properly.

priorities change. that time of the year when payout from the German copyright levy comes in used to be when I bought tech. in the age of madness that's not the case. i'll get thermal grease to redo my PCs + a nintendo switch I own. other than that, i'll buy all the cheap 26" bike tires i can find.

Here's more on this 12 inch Surface from Microsoft with Nvidia RTX Spark. To be taken with a nice big grain of salt. Oh they also have the new versions of the Surface consumer models with SDX2 lined up to launch very soon and these will cost a lot. winfuture.de/news,161465....

makes you feel kinda weird when Vivo's German PR agency drops a Gemini generated press release on you. Kinda like they don't think you're worth the effort of writing things up yourself. (there's a link with a "source=Gemini" referrer in there). Also, the press pics are a useless selection.

MSlop also have another new Surface codenamed "Minos" (which usually is just one of several codenames used for various purposes and doesn't mean much at all). 12 inch display. 24/32GB RAM, 512GB/1TB Flash. And I think this might be based on RTX Spark as well bc reasons. maybe retailers listing BS?
