"Gotta sit on my thinking chair for a bit" or "lemme go listen to my own shit for a while"

Usually in dutch tho, "ff op de denkstoel zitten" or "even naar m'n eigen gezijk luisteren"

My mind directly went to Laserdisc before I realized you were talking about the generic category 😅.

cd/dvd/blueray doesn't become bad that fast, properly stored they can easely live to 50+ years (except the writeable variant). they are physically etched which helps with longevity.

VHS or other types of magnetic storage is more of a chore, they often don't survive the passing of time.

Kont is also not the most used, nicest way of saying it. "Billen" is a better match.

I do blame the "why is it so different from English" on "Het Nederlands taalgenootschap", that was an organization that decided that a lot of Dutchified English would be changed to more Dutch terms. So is "Math" changed into "Wiskunde/Rekenen".

yes, those two "autofixes" are "fixed" now. (it's a opt-in setting)

Python is soon to be integrated into excel, I might not be a python fan but if it's gonna replace vba I'm all for it.

As far as I know, no, rotary phones don’t use the nowadays default way of dial tones, so even numeric inputs in call menus don’t work

It used to work at least here in the Netherlands, when you send a sms to a landline, the phone company has a tts service that reads texts like: “incoming text from zero six one… (etc) with the following text: ok boomer” and repeating that twice.

Used to be a really mechanical voice, but I’ve not had a landline in at least ten years.

You can still receive texts on a rotorary right, then it’s read aloud by some computer voice

I prefer for it to be just a warning so I can debug without trouble, the build system will just prevent me from completing the pull request with it (and any other warning).

It crashed some devices when they scan for WiFi networks (both Linux's network-manager and a Canon Printer at least)

Here in the Netherlands we already have such law. I can't imagine how bad commercials can be with it. There is no reason except creating shock of confusion for such sound in a commercial and those things are not something you want in a car.
