Users are often not aware of which services or applications are tracking them. I am doing a survey on the privacy and transparency of location data. If you have 15 minutes, your input is appreciated :) vub.fra1.qualtrics.com/jfe/f…

Last year I came back from JP with 1kg of 1 yen coins that I did not manage to get rid of (7 euros)

When @amazon delivers packages via Colis Prive in Brussels, there is a 50% chance of them getting lost. Meanwhile in Brussels you can buy lost packages by the kilo – at Oudergem, België

Bought a 20TB HDD 2 months ago, package got lost in transit. Bought it again last month, package never got "officially" lost, but the next-day delivery is still pending. Ordered it again yesterday, arrived today (yay) but seems it is broken. I think there is a curse on this HDD

With sensor or location data, the most useful additional information is accuracy. Currently experimenting with fingerprint accuracy prediction in @OpenHPS based on CCpos' CADE-CNN. It can help to determine which k-NN fingerprinting parameters to use in different zones.

🧵Similar to CCpos, the autoencoder is trained on the RSSI fingerprints of the training data. Afterwards, the encoder is combined with a CNN that includes the parameters (k) and output position of the k-NN algorithm as input and provides a single accuracy value (in metres). 1/2

This is a "Symet", a dumb robot I made 15 years ago, its only purpose is to collect enough sunlight and rotate around its axis. It should not waste the energy on trying to move itself unless it has enough energy to actually make a move. It still works after so many years :)

On the plus site, the insurance detected the origin of my water leak in the ceiling by emptying multiple buckets with coloring. On the downside, I can no longer turn off any of my lights and water is dripping from every light bulb in my ceiling. This is not good. – at Antwerp, Belgium

That mildly annoyance of a single large air bubble in a silicone cast made me buy a vacuum pump and chamber. I guess I have to make some space in my office... – at Oudergem, België

Bought two SSDs on a reputable shop. Both had the same S/N (printed) which they claim is a manufacturing error. Returned both SSDs, only got a refund for one. They said: "We only received the SSD with S/N XXXXX" As a software engineer I can only guess what went wrong, but....
