Elektrisch gereedschap in de Pricewatch – Tweakers

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/11/05

Van enige tijd geleden:

Speciaal voor jullie hebben we de Pricewatch uitgebreid met de categorie elektrisch gereedschap. Je kunt sinds kort eenvoudig de specificaties en prijzen van elektrisch gereedschap met elkaar vergelijken.

Ik ben ook benieuwd of deze er inmiddels in staan:

You are not Google (use UNPHAT) – The Isoblog.

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/11/02

and you are not Amazon or LinkedIn either.

Next time you find yourself Googling some cool new technology to (re)build your architecture around, I urge you to stop and follow UNPHAT instead:

  • Understand problem
  • eNumerate candidate solutions
  • Papers of candidates
  • Historical context of candidates
  • Advantages/disadvantages
  • Think!

More elaborate abstract: [WayBack] You are not Google (use UNPHAT) – The Isoblog.

Nieuwere @Samsung_NL TVs gebruiken de OneRemote (soms ook Smart Remote genoemd) model BN59-01241A. Werken op die TVs ook de klassieke remotes zoals BN59-01223A die met oudere TVs werden meegeleverd?

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/10/22

Geen antwoord van Samsung op [WayBack] “Nieuwere @Samsung_NL TVs gebruiken de OneRemote (soms ook Smart Remote genoemd) model BN59-01241A. Werken op die TVs ook de klassieke remotes zoals N59-01223A die met oudere TVs werden meegeleverd?”

Gelukkig kwam ik dit tegen:

[WayBack] Reviews over Samsung UE50MU6100 – Coolblue – alles voor een glimlach

De afstandbediening is wel even wennen in gebruik, maar als je een oude Samsung afstandbediening hebt liggen werkt dit op deze tv en kun je dus de nummertoetsen gebruiken bij het zappen ;)

Later kwam Samsung alsnog met een antwoord:

[WayBack] Samsung Nederland on Twitter: “Hey Jeroen! De ‘normale’ afstandsbediening werkt ook gewoon op de nieuwere modellen! ^Nadia… “

Oh ja: Samsung maakt zowel 49, 50 als 55 inch versies: [WayBack] Comparison between: 49.5″ Samsung UE50MU6100, 48.5″ Samsung UE49MU6100, 54.6″ Samsung UE55MU6100.

Vergelijken in die MU61xxx serie blijft lastig. De 6100 kan meer dan de 6120 (bluetooth en voicecommand). De 6199 kan meer dan de 6179:

Euler’s identity – cool explanatory videos by Burkard Polster

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/10/19

[WayBack] e^iπ = -1 – Daniela Osterhagen – Google+ reminded me of [WayBack] Euler’s identity (often called the most beautiful formula in the world) and these two great videos by Burkard Polster I bumped into a few years back below.

She points to a German link about “the most beautiful formula in the world”, to which I fully agree:
