    I guess I'm used to mashing volume up if I like what I'm hearing. If you're used to holding the button down instead then yeah it would be annoying.

    Hehe.

    It will of course be degraded, but I'm only sending it to my tech limited relatives who don't use any apps other than WhatsApp.

    On thermostats it's the difference between the off and on temperatures - like if you set it to 24 degrees, you could have a hysteresis of 1 degree, meaning it'll turn on again at 23 degrees. (Or something like that.)

    I use Sennheiser HD450BT over the ear headphones. A little tricky but with a softer pillow side sleeping is fine. Can occasionally have issues with the ANC with some pillows.

    Two minutes if you don't know what you're doing - you'll be hot on the outside but still cold within.

    Decided to restore this old thing from out in the shed. It was in the weather for a couple of years, and I think it's 20+ years old. Replaced the pump with a USB powered 5 watt silent one. Replaced the halogen lamp with an LED one. Cleaned as much as I could. Seems to be working well. How long the $12 ebay pump lasts remains to be seen.

    Johnny Castaway is in a strange world! For some reason the screen is not resetting between scenes, giving him an unusually busy world. It's running 24/7 on XP but it's a 16 bit app. Video at https://youtu.be/TJGfDPGogiM?si=JZM1JPSITt8Bt2ea

    Day and night he runs around on top of the fish tank. Maybe one of the coconuts was bad...
