  • Good point actually about the air ventilation. I was pretty meh about it unless something started to burn, but I recently bought a cheap air quality meter and measure spikes 2 rooms away. And just from normal cooking. Stoves, air fryer, ovens… Just a good habit to get into.

    If you have an external venting range hood, use it all the time even if it’s just on low.

    Recently installed a top-tier range hood and the company owner came out to meet me in their showroom. He pointed out stoves have gotten hotter over the past years, especially with wok cooking, so running the hood is essential when the stove is on if just to keep the electronics cool. This significantly extends the devices life.


















  • Your comment made me realize I’m (and I’m sure I’m not alone) sort of the problem with Linux.

    Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the massive community of tools and programs out there like free open source software. But I’ve never actually bought anything for a Linux system with one exception: Debian in a box, on a CD for like, $15.

    Buuuut, I have bought FOSS, games, and utilities for Mac and Windows that started as Linux apps and work on my new system.

    I guess there is a mindset of get something free to suffice with Linux systems rather than pay for polished apps, and I totally get that thrill, but is there business to be made in this market, or a sunk cost at the end of the year.

    I’d really like to see the app, and it takes bold risks to populate this platform, and there’s certainly pushback, but that’s also what separates Linux from windows. No point in having a machine if there are gaps in workflow or utility.
