Honestly, like: yeah you saved some money, but if it’s Not 100% Perfect, it will just Sound Like Shit.
Like do you cut corners everywhere? I can’t believe people dilute their brand with shit like that.
YouTube also turned on Auto dubbing for our Channel and it’s so Bad, Like: you put so much effort into getting the Audio to Sound right only for some super robotic voices to auto translate it. Especially as someone who speaks many languages. I have opened a channel before and was shocked by how bad everything sounded until I realized that it was just their AI. I basically would never have checked the channel again because of it.And I mean it was a German channel - which is my first language. But YouTube decided to translate it to English.
I don’t even dislike AI, but what people have been doing with generative AI is absolutely infuriating.
Oh wow this rant turned out longer than I expected

It's such a weird feeling.
It's also super weird because I basically said in the description that installing a plugin and letting it access teams is a stupid idea, and I added a button to show the source code (which I am not sure will work in the published app anyways)

And once I noticed it was going to keep increasing in price I also bought a few boxes (put 20 euros in boxes) and bought a couple of skins that I liked for like 40 bucks. That account is still worth about 600 euro at the moment as far as I know. Pretty crazy all in all

I didn’t find and of the brands I use there, however, I literally just purchased some Huel meals (not the one listed) because I’m going to be on the road a lot and I wanted some easy meals on the road. I hope huel will do some serious checking up and warn us, because right now I’m not really sure if I should replan my whole food plan.

So I travel quite a lot, and I should probably have gotten it earlier anyways. So I was kind of planning on getting one anyways. Especially since this year in Thailand, where I spend a lot of my time there have been rabies cases. Anyways there was this insanely sweet cat at the place where we stayed, supposedly without an owner, and since I love cats and noticed that this cat needed some help, we fed it. We were sadly only there for a couple of days, and it sucks because the accomodation might not want people to feed the cat since it comes back, but I genuinely felt like if I didn't feed it, this cat could also just die. He was very skinny. But super sweet. Well he was in the room, and I wanted to drag him otu since he saw my gecko toy (ok lol this is weirder than I thought) and so I was about to pull him out, my girlfriend wanted to close the door, but he had an insanely long tail, which was squeezed in the door a bit. So he got spooked and scratched me. So I figured since I don't know anything about this cat, and since my insurance will cover it anyways, I might as well get the shots at that point.
We had to leave after a couple of days, and on our way back we purposefully did another stop at that same accomodation to check in on the cat and maybe find someone to take care of him - not sure what we would've done if he felt bad, maybe we would've just taken care of him even though it would be really tough.
So, in the end we arrived at that accomodation and it turned out that the partner of one of the staff took a liking to the cat and he seemed much better taken care of and he wasn't the cuddly cat anymore haha since he didn't need any more food. But he was still very sweet.

Leaving on another long term trip again next week (very excited). But in the last 3 weeks I got DTP, JE, Typhoid and a HepA vaccine. Earlier this year I also got a rabies vaccine.

If...If anyone feels inspired to get a walkman now - you can probably find broken used ones for quite cheap. more often than not the fix is quite easy - just find the right belt and put it on there. If you look for used ones, check that the description says something like: "The thing makes a noise, but it doesn't spin the tape"
Also, if you decide to get one and want to talk one, feel free to send me a message. Love to help
I bought 2 different ones this year and got some cool cassettes too. They're surprisingly cheap for cool albums (I bought a Nujabes Album last year in Japan, and got 2 Pink Floyd and a Rolling Stones album for like 5 Euro each)
Also, since it's such old tech, you sometimes still find detailed manuals telling you about the circuits and how to repair it. It's a really fun hobby in my opinion. I also just really love the aesthetic of the 80s/90s technologies. I'll take a photo in a bit and add it here
I also filmed myself while repairing mine this summer if anyone is interested

It just sounds so nice when the tape is being read a bit faster, a bit slower depending on how you move. I recently bought a couple of walkmen and fixed them and I really enjoyed listening to music with them
