  • I have bought tea from them for a few years now. The majority of their tea is unscented and some traditionally scented teas. Their teas are from different Asian countries, but I think most are from China and Japan. They also have Tea Club for €19 per month, which gets you 2 packs of tea (80 g total) of either light, dark or a mix of light and dark and a live YouTube tasting session/video. And for the past three years, they have also had a tea Christmas calendar, which has about 5g tea each day plus a daily live YouTube tasting session/video.









  • The web app doesn’t support gapless playback. Some albums are just one long continuous stream of sound, with no gaps in-between songs. The web app forces small pauses between songs, which is annoying when listening to such albums. Also, the keyboard’s media keys might not work with the web app. And, if you are an audiophile, you might care about bit-perfect playback. Using a browser doesn’t guarantee that, but I don’t know if you get that with the desktop app either, when used with Wine.







  • One of the nice things with Xbox 360 controllers were the rechargeable battery packs. By default, the controllers used 2 AAs, but you could instead use a battery pack. Just remove the AA battery cover, pop in the rechargeable battery, and that’s it. You could then connect a cable to the controller to recharge the battery. And, if the battery happened to be empty (or dead because of old age), you could just replace it with 2 AAs, and continue playing. Some of 8bitdo’s controllers uses (or used) the same design, but they come with a rechargeable battery pack in the box.






  • I mostly agree with that, but the problem with Bazzite and CachyOS is that they are made by small teams. Distributions made by small teams might die because of some small problem, like a key member of the team being unable to continue with the project. Bazzite team, for example, earlier this year said that they would stop maintaining the OS if a proposed change to Fedora would go through, because their team wouldn’t be able cope with the change.

    SteamOS on the other hand, being developed by a company with a lot of money to throw into things, is much more resilient OS, and I think that makes it better for larger masses of users.
