Review Kodlix GN41 Fanless MIN PC

  Better read: Data Consistency in Distributed System - CAP, PACELC Data Consistency in Distributed System - CAP, PACELC Morality series - a heptalogy This blog is mainly focused on my Philosophical and theoretical ideas. From time to time I have practical posts that are too few to deserve a blog by themselves. I still hope my other work (like above) is even more valuable than such practical article as below. * * *   Update 2020 : My Kodlix died. I am highly disappointed. There was a long time from when I've seen a PC dying before it's moral obsoletion. This one does not show any light anymore, while the power source seems ok.

Review Philips GoGEAR Azure Bluetooth

  Even better read: Data Consistency in Distributed System - CAP, PACELC My Secular Philosophy - Life, God, Knowledge, Morality, Ethics This blog is mainly focused on my Philosophical and theoretical ideas. From time to time I have practical posts that are too few to deserve a blog by themselves. I still hope my other work (like above) is even more valuable than such practical article as below. * * *     Overall I'm happy with my Philips GoGEAR Azure. I can release the storage space occupied by music on my phone - that used to be my portable Bluetooth player. I can also save some battery on my phone and it's a bit more handy to have a dedicated device that really fit in a small pocket. Even if the player don't support AptX (my headphones does support it), the sound is still pretty good for travel and work. If I want true sound quality I can use regular wired phones. Pros: Good wireless sound (Bluetooth/A2DP) Very good wired sound Plays FLAC along with MP3 Good...

On "Metaphysics of Quality" of Robert M. Pirsig

"It's more moral for a doctor to kill a germ than to allow the germ to kill his patient. The germ wants to live. The patient wants to live. But the patient has moral precedence because he's at a higher level of evolution" In "Lila, an Inquiry into Morals", Robert M. Pirsig brings intriguing reflections about the philosophy of moral using as pretext a river journey he had on a boat. Here I will bring my insights based on this book. Many of this reflections will be my own re-interpretations that were inspired by the book. Even my understanding on Pirsig's views might not fully correspond to the original author's intention.

From time to time I have practical posts that are too few to deserve a blog by themselves. I still hope my other work (like above) is even more valuable than such practical article as below. * * *     Update 2022: Bose QC45 is almost the same as Bose QC35 II , however it has USB-C charging. Note that Bose QC 45 does not have NFC anymore - used for fast Bluetooth connection.   Updates 2020 :  Bose QC35 II (2) is basically identical as sound, look and feel to the original QC 35. The only adding is a button that can be used to activate Google Assistant or alternatively to change the noise cancelling level. Bose QC35 (1 or 2) remains the best noise cancelling headphones that I ever tried, especially because of the ear comfort and ergonomy, along with long battery life. Another big advantag...
