Users are often not aware of which services or applications are tracking them. I am doing a survey on the privacy and transparency of location data. If you have 15 minutes, your input is appreciated :) vub.fra1.qualtrics.com/jfe/f…

Bought a 20TB HDD 2 months ago, package got lost in transit. Bought it again last month, package never got "officially" lost, but the next-day delivery is still pending. Ordered it again yesterday, arrived today (yay) but seems it is broken. I think there is a curse on this HDD

With sensor or location data, the most useful additional information is accuracy. Currently experimenting with fingerprint accuracy prediction in @OpenHPS based on CCpos' CADE-CNN. It can help to determine which k-NN fingerprinting parameters to use in different zones.

🧵... It is then trained on the accuracy of the training data. It is a nice addition for providing an accuracy value to accompany location data. 2/2

Gamification on a 3d printer is not something I really seem to like in a software update ...

This is a "Symet", a dumb robot I made 15 years ago, its only purpose is to collect enough sunlight and rotate around its axis. It should not waste the energy on trying to move itself unless it has enough energy to actually make a move. It still works after so many years :)

On the plus site, the insurance detected the origin of my water leak in the ceiling by emptying multiple buckets with coloring. On the downside, I can no longer turn off any of my lights and water is dripping from every light bulb in my ceiling. This is not good.
