  • The proper legal resolution would be refunding the customer and then settle it between Amazon and the author that didn’t have the rights to sell what they sold. If I buy some food at the grocery store and there’s a recall due to for example contamination, I can go back to the store and get a refund. I can even go to any store selling the same item without an invoice and get a refund (for their list price I think). This is at least the deal in Denmark. This should be the same if something was sold with a missing license or improper license (if it is sold as a product but the license the seller has expires and is not renewed)



  • I’ve got some insane ear canals. Something about both size and shape that makes very small plugs fall out and medium to large plugs hurt (and rarely an earbud brand has one that doesn’t hurt and doesn’t fall out). The ear doctor didn’t have any plugs small enough for me for the sound test machine. But Beyerdynamic Amiron 300 fits perfectly, I think it was the small, not XS that worked for me. Maybe give that one a test in a store if possible.




  • The thing about language is probably the stupidest hill to die on. If you’re a small European indie dev, chance is you know somewhere between 2-5 European languages shared among the devs (maybe even a few more). It’ll be free to join forces and create the translations for some of those. Voice acting can also be quality-tested in-house if your game includes that. But if you need to add Chinese you’d often need to hire external QA. I wouldn’t get mad either if a Japanese, Korean, or Chinese game didn’t support anything from the western hemisphere besides English. I’m not even mad that the amount of games that support my native tongue is likely less that 1%. If they didn’t even support English? That’s fine too. That game isn’t targeted me anyway, and I would leave it alone. I don’t go review bomb Fortnite either because it’s not for me.

    Looks great!

    Small question, is it possible to log a specific journey? For example in Denmark you are required to keep a precise log of your driving if you want to get a tax rebate, so if you could log a specific journey and save it for later for tax documentation, that would be great.



  • I’m on the low end and have heard nothing but distain for AI (aside from “cool chatbot, but why?” or experimenting with local LLMs to find useful use cases). I have also run a local LLM but I just don’t see the use case. Even for coding most of the effort goes into solving the problem, so if it is already solved in your head it isn’t gonna take much time to code it. An no, LLMs can’t solve the problem any better than stackoverflow could (good luck on the novel problems).

    Oh and don’t forget to mention that LLM providers are currently socialising the losses of their exorbitant investments through “creative” IPOs with immediate listing in indices.


  • I hate Danish subtitles on English content. Not because they’re inherently bad but because it is extremely distracting. English on English is fine but only if it is word for word what they say, otherwise I turn it off and just pay more attention.

    Thing is, jokes cannot be translated easily, meanings change, and so on. That makes it so that the translated version isn’t carrying the same punch as the original. And I simply don’t have the mental capacity to read Danish and listen to English simultaneously (or ignore the subtitles).

    And it’s like that in reverse too. I’ve been showing some Danish movies to a foreigner, obviously she needed English subs, which proved to be hard to cancel out for me.
