Learned about the "Wuselfaktor" yesterday when talking about Settlers II for @dosgameclub

It's a German concept that describes how interesting and nice a game is to look at without the player doing anything in particular.

It's especially relevant for simulation type games, where your screen is filled with a bunch of characters that are each working on their own task.

Settlers II has a very high Wuselfaktor, but so do games like Lemmings or Transport Tycoon.

AI powered customer complains are so approachable and strong I'm not sure how companies cope with them. They must be flooded by strongly worded letters. I guess a new industry will flourish to manage customers, maybe even to rate customers.

new phone case, who dis? 🤙

iPhone in a giant "brick phone" case designed to look like those huge early wireless phones. The first handheld cellular phone call was made by Motorola engineer Martin Cooper on April 3, 1973, in New York City, using a prototype DynaTAC device. This "brick phone" weighed 2.5 pounds, offered 30 minutes of talk time, and required 10 hours to charge. It became commercially available in 1983 as the $3,995 DynaTAC 8000X.

Das Brettersägen mit der 1,8kW-Elektrokettensäge funktioniert recht gut.

Für einen 25cm breiten Schnitt mit 1m Länge in Douglasienholz brauche ich ca. 5min.

Fichte geht sicher schneller, Harthölzer langsamer.

Weitere Erkenntnisse:

Da sich die Säge heftig zur Stamm-Längsachse hin zieht, ist es eine echte Erleichterung, den Kettensägengriff an einem möglichst weit entfernten Anker festzubinden.

Gefälle als Schwerkraft-Vorschub zu nutzen ist auch von Vorteil.

Um einen ersten planen Schnitt zu machen ist eine Führung, wie z.B. eine Aluleiter, notwendig.Nach dem ersten geraden Schnitt wird die Leiter nicht mehr benötigt. Der alte Rolladengurt als Gegenhaltung war schon ein echter Gamechanger.Hier wurde der Rolladengurt durch ein längeres Seil ersetzt und der Stamm für mehr Gefälle unterlegt.
Ob die vielen Sägespäne so ein gutes Heidelbeersubstrat wie Fichtenspäne abgeben?
