    Dyson OnTrac. Dyson gets serious about cans.

    It was Dyson's first totally misguided foray into headphones, with a built-in air purifier. The words 'dystopian' and 'ludicrous' and 'potentially unsellable/unmarketable' obviously never featured in those early concept design critique/product-development meetings. I imagine there's a warehouse...

    Cleaning alu

    Duraglit in the 70's used to be awesome on most metals. Not sure about Al though. It was so good my old man gave me a tin for Christmas to use on the mudguards of my Ralleigh Chopper. I had the shiniest mudguards in the park. Especially handy for catching the sun during extended wheelies and...

    Dyson OnTrac. Dyson gets serious about cans.

    I think I'm going to hold off to see if/when the Sony WH1000XM6 is released. If the same 2-year market-release cycle as for the XM3/4/5 is used then they should be arriving imminently. The main problem with the XM5's though, for me at least is the cup size; they're just too small and...

    Dyson OnTrac. Dyson gets serious about cans.

    Well they went on sale today and I decided to do a u-ey and hold off for a bit until credible reviews come in. There are already reports of them being unsuitable/uncomfortable for prolonged wearing which kind of goes against my main 'end user need'. I also note that some of the tech is pretty...

    Looking for a rare AI tool details inside............

    AI will rule us all one day. I used to say 'Polydactyl cats will rule us all one day' but I changed my mind. Their general lack of trust and their propensity to become easily and enthusiastically distracted by milk, cream and other dairy products may just be a caveat to their plans for world...

    Slime away the grit and grime

    Cool. Is it so much better than blu-tac? I bet it's a bunch more expensive. I haven't worn a watch since the 90's. I stopped wearing watches after I got 'steamed' on the London Underground on 2 separate occasions by 6ft gorillas armed with machetes and a propensity to shout quite a lot in order...

    I smoked from my late teens until my late 20's when I replaced the cost of it with a mortgage and car payments. Well something had to be sacrificed. 5 years later I ended up in hospital for 3 months with pericarditis. In the first week I was having cat-scans of my heart/lungs and I was convinced...

    Slime away the grit and grime

    I've been using a claybar for years on cars to decontaminate paintwork before machine polishing so I already knew the benefits of using a pliable tacky substance to remove grime, so it should have come as no surprise that something for car interiors would emerge sooner or later. Came accross...

    Weez all dun sunn stoopid

    Lovin all the stories. Keep em comin! This thread is now reminiscent of that scene in Jaws where they're on the boat in the middle of the ocean late at night sippin whiskey and sharing stories. Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss one-upping each other with scars and then Roy Scheider considers...

    Remarkably similar in scope and net pain level result to drunkenly falling asleep / entering into a comatose state on the beach in Ibiza in the middle of the afternoon in July I would suggest. Ouchie.

    What a tool :oops: Not as spectacularly stupid as the fktard in the clip above but I smacked into a lamp post in an empty carpark once. There, the one dumb fkup I can fess up to. What about you?

    Tech Recs

    Pushy customers are ok if they offer to pay extra and you can maintain your original customer queue delivery dates. I had a client in Italy offer to pay me a huge premium to bump him to the front of the queue. I only had a 15 day waiting time at the time but he wanted the cables delivered within...
