A new version of Sound Switcher Indicator — 2.3.0 — has just been released.
This version finally adds a frequently-requested feature: the ability of mapping global keyboard shortcuts to input and output ports.

Farewell, Great Britain
This day marks the end of the 47-year-long history of the Great Britain as a part of the European Union.
Even though it doesn’t directly affect me, I find it a bit sad. I second Boris Akunin’s opinion it’s a regress and a victory of retrogressive thinking.

It’s Friday again! This tenth edition of Musicellaneous features another unique project by a talented individual. I’m talking about the instrumental progressive metal band Andromida, which is in fact just one person: the American Ramon Gutierrez.
The band is unique because Ramon is “legally blind”, which was discovered when he was as little as three years old.
Learn Dutch ‣ Het-noun cheat sheet
One of the tricky things in Dutch is the mapping of a noun to one of the two grammatical genders:
- Common, which is masculine and feminine combined. Such nouns are called de-woorden because they are prepended by the de definite article.
- Neuter, nouns of which are het-woorden as you put the het article before them.

Xiaomi nail clipper review
Enough of those router and pump reviews! Today’s review is the weirdest and the shortest one in this blog’s history!
We’ll unbox and study the professional, as the seller puts it, nail clipper by Xiaomi.
Musicellaneous ‣ Gru
Friday is always imminent! For this eighth edition of Musicellaneous I had to dig a wee bit deeper this time. So I’ve dug out one of the most mysterious characters of the instrumental prog who is hiding behind the Gru monicker.
And I do hope it isn’t related to GRU whatsoever.
Firmware 2.5.0.108 adds a new Wi-Fi network to Netgear Orbi Pro SRK60
My mesh router Netgear Orbi Pro SRK60 (see my review of the router) has recently received the firmware version 2.5.0.108.
What’s new in this version:
Musicellaneous ‣ Covet and Yvette Young
Happy Friday everyone! This seventh edition of Musicellaneous features two gems at once: the American band Covet and its frontwoman multi-instrumentalist Yvette Young, who is by the way also a painter.
Covet’s genre is officially called math rock, which I would perhaps prepend with “maidenly”.
Musicellaneous ‣ Vitalism

Friday! This sixth edition of Musicellaneous features the model djent band Vitalism from Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
Vitalism was started in 2014 as a solo project of guitarist Ed Garcia, who recorded a single called Gradus.
