Ja mensen, soms duurt een liedje een kwartier, en soms maar een minuutje. Ik pis in je brievenbus, van The etters. Enjoy!

The European Commission has exempted wearables from upcoming EU rules requiring portable-device batteries to be removable and user-replaceable. The broader Batteries Regulation still takes effect in February 2027 for many consumer products, but the exemption means companies like Apple, Google, Samsung, and Meta won't have to redesign their wearables for the EU. Thurrott reports: Yesterday, the Commission announced that new product categories would be exempted from complying with its Batteries Regulation, including wearable devices such as smartwatches, fitness trackers, and smart glasses. This will likely be good news for companies like Apple, Google, Samsung, and Meta, which won't have to redesign their devices to include user-replaceable batteries for consumers in the EU market.
The EU's Batteries Regulation will come into effect in February 2027, which is when Nintendo plans to stop selling all models of the original Nintendo Switch in the EU. While Nintendo had no choice but to redesign its handheld console to keep selling it in the EU, it probably didn't make sense for the company to put in the same effort for the OG Switch, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary in March 2027.

In tribute to Kendall, {Matt} Pinfield wrote, "Dave was one of the true believers. Long before alternative music found its way into the mainstream, he was there every week on 120 Minutes, introducing people to bands that would go on to define an era. He didn't just host a show. He gave a home to music that deserved to be heard. He loved the music, respected the artists, and connected with fans in a way that always felt authentic. That's a rare gift."
Kendall had relocated to Bangkok in the past decade; obit from the Bangkok Post here. "By far the most important thing about 120 Minutes was that it acted as a distribution channel for organic musical produce, if you will," Dave Kendall, the show's former host and producer who first pitched the show to MTV, wrote via email. "The only other outlet for non-mainstream music at the time was a few local college radio stations, because unlike in the UK, mainstream US radio stations were not open to new ideas." I found a list of 120 Minutes episodes here!

We zijn boos op de Duitsers. Dat zijn we best wel eens vaker geweest maar je kunt stellen dat ze het nu wel heel bont maken. Dat alles wat leuk is verboden of onmogelijk moet worden gemaakt zijn we in eigen land gewend, maar we konden altijd nog naar het oosten rijden om daar, enkele meters voorbij de grens, pallets peuken in te slaan voor weinig doekoe in zo'n gezellige, daar speciaal voor ons Nederlanderse paupers neergeplempte peukenplaza. Zo konden we tenminste betaalbaar alle crises van ons af roken, meespelen in de longkankerloterij zonder daar eerst een nier voor te moeten verkopen. Maar die hobby gaat dus: in rook op. Duitsland gaat de accijnzen stapsgewijs verhogen, in 4 jaar tijd worden de Duitse peuken bijna net zo duur als in Nederland. Althans, als de peukprijzen hier tegen die tijd niet rond de 80 euro per pakje liggen. Dit is misschien wel het ergste wat Duitsland ooit heeft gedaan. Wij zoeken wel een adresje op de zwarte (longen)markt.
Mooi was die tijd
SocialThis video from Kurzgesagt is a great little primer on how the human brain stores memories.
Memory is one of the strangest abilities you possess. Your brain uses an incredibly complex biological system to preserve moments from your past that no longer exist, allowing you to revisit experiences from years ago. But memories are not always recordings of reality. In fact, every time a memory comes under the spotlight of your attention, it can melt and change a tiny bit.
What exactly is a memory, how is a moment in time stored inside your brain, and why does remembering something slowly rewrite the story of your life?
