  • It’s popular to hate on Dyson but cordless, bagless vacuum is very much a game dominated by them. Others - Samsung, Miele - have great products but I have yet to see a model from them that is truly superior to flagship Dysons. They dominate on suction and battery power.

    Dyson is expensive (overpriced?). The owners is an oligarch brexiteer asshole. The brand is perpetually trending with annoying influencers and I find their vacuums ugly, but … they build very good vacuums.

    Yes. I own a Dyson. A corded one. We’re on our third one and keep buying them because we have never had any issues with them.

    My current one is 4 years old. The one before was 10 by the time we sold it due to international move. The one before we bought 10 years old used before deciding we wanted a new one.











  • Just finished a book from the 1930s by a Czech author Karel Čapek called War with the Newts.

    It’s sci-fi based on earth in 1930s but what I found the most interesting is

    1. seeing an author from 1930s write and think on paper (casual racism and sexism, for example),

    2. the echoes of the looming WWII

    3. the retro futurism - I love seeing what people from the past imagined would happen with technology. They are often right, often cutely wrong.
