Perhaps it’s just marketing talks but dishwasher-safe was literally one of their selling points (Phillips). I hope it holds up to their reputation. The pot is quite tricky to hand wash.

I did lose one or two cheap fry pans to dishwashers. But two or three years ago I got a decent Tefal. It’s ‘dishwasher-safe but hand wash if you can’. I only hand wash if it needs a good scrub though. Still going strong, and that’s good enough for me.

It’s (Traditional) Chinese.

It can be Taiwan, though lots of Japanese shops put up signs in foreign languages to attract tourists.

I’ve got a Bosch (Serie 6) too and I’m happy with it overall.

Just one problem: It doesn’t dry my airfryer pot very well. I only got my first airfryer recently so I’m not sure if all dishwashers struggle with large non-stick coated pots.

Also here in the down under they’ve got a different product line and there are no models that can pop open their doors. IIRC it was Miele that started doing this first so I always suspected if they got into any legal trouble (didn’t do any digging, just a wild guess). Considered Miele, just way too expensive here.

Edit: Ours have touch panels tho, so fewer features are locked behind apps. IIRC in the US Bosch has more traditional control panels so e.g. you can’t adjust timers down to minutes without their app?

Japanese people: oh not again

China doesn’t even claim that much as the American propaganda does.

Unless OP is in a management position, where politics and such BS may as well be in the PD, what on earth is the need to judge your co-workers’ personalities?

I’ve dealt with a lot of different people at work, vastly different people. But as long as we can get the work done, let it be introverted or antisocial, it just doesn’t matter? Hell, even if it gets in the way of my job, there are professional ways to move forward. I’m here to get shit done and collect my paychecks, not to have ‘emotional experiences’ every day with everyone. There are some 4000 people in my company, I can’t socialise with everyone, I don’t want to socialise with everyone, and I certainly don’t care if someone refuses to socialise. 99% of them are not too different from random online strangers to me. Communications usually just go ‘Can we do this?’ ‘Sure.’ Then fast forward 3 months they may not even still work here. I socialise with a handful of people I like, and I’ve made some good friends. Others I absolutely don’t care. I expect communications to be productive, not ‘emotional’. I’m just an IC, not the company’s counsellor.

I’m just waiting for either Tidal or Qobuz to offer good non-English (Japanese) support sike… I tested both. Apps were solid themselves but I’d appreciate it if I don’t have to try English, Japanese, romaji (Japanese phonetics) every time I search for something

Man I won’t feel lonely this Valentine’s Day cos Jamie boy fucked me pretty well with his fried rice.

WHAT?!

you get 1-2 Gbps down but only something tiny like 50 Mbps up

That’s exactly what you get in Australia, even if you have FTTP, 95% of ISPs only offer up to 1000/50Mbps, and that’s if you live in the big cities. Mine costs ~US$70/mo btw. And they have a ‘typical evening speed’ that drops to 860/42Mbps (I’ve never heard of such a concept outside Australia. Yeah, totally not a scam).

A handful ISPs offer 1000/400Mbps and you’ll be looking at ~US$125/mo. Anything faster you’ll be handed with astronomical commercial bills.

any other country

Hey hey, don’t forget about China lol. ‘Oh you’re Chinese? You must be brainwashed AF. Lemme teach you a few things about 4 June 1989.’

I heard of Tidal a long time ago but their non-English support is simply missing. It doesn’t even show the original Japanese titles of many songs I listen to.

How about Qobuz?

Edit: Tested Qobuz and the Japanese support was quite bad too. I searched for a Japanese artist, their name showed up but only one song was there. Tried searching for the title of a song instead, no hit. I thought I was region blocked. Then tried romaji and finally more results, mixed in English and Japanese though. In Spotify I can search in Japanese, English, or romaji when I’m too lazy to switch input method. Also in Qobuz lots of Japanese artists’ profiles were incomplete.

In the event of an exact tie, the seat is awarded to the male candidate, and the female candidate is put in jail. /j

It’s not skipping MFA cos some media can provide more than one factor.

E.g. YubiKey 5 (presence of the device) + PIN (knowledge of some credentials) = 2 factors

Or YubiKey Bio (presence of the device) + fingerprint (biological proof of ownership) = 2 factors

And actually unless you use one password manager database for passwords, another one for OTPs, and never unlock them together on the same machine, it’s not MFA but 1FA. Cos if you have them all at one place, you can only provide one factor (knowledge of the manager password, unless you program an FPGA to simulate a write only store or something).

My YubiKey.

If you play rhythm games you just have to
