Smart thermostat

Because I have underfloor heating in my apartment with an HR Intergas gas central heating boiler, it takes a long time to get the heating up to temperature. It is therefore better to heat at a fairly constant temperature (+ or - 1° C), but this is not very economical. That is why I purchased a smart thermostat via Marketplace for €75 excl. shipping costs.

Honeywell Lyric T6 Smart Thermostat - black - wired

This works well with Opentherm modular heating of the Intergas central heating boiler and replaces the standard round thermostat in the living room.

The black Honeywell Lyric T6 (wired, for wall mounting) is a smart thermostat that helps you save energy. The thermostat knows exactly when to heat and when not to heat. The Lyric T6 learns how long it takes before the desired temperature in your home is reached, so you always have the right temperature at the set time. The thermostat is easy to operate via the stylish black touchscreen or via the Resideo app (new Lyric app) on your iOS or Android device. The Honeywell Lyric T6 offers support for Apple HomeKit.


Specifications Honeywell Lyric T6

• Smart self-learning thermostat including boiler module
• Wired connection to central heating boiler,
• Modulating Opentherm or On/Off mode,
• Stylish minimalist design with illuminated touchscreen
• Takes user location into account (Geofencing)
• Supports Apple HomeKit and Siri voice control
• Simple operation via touchscreen or via the Resideo app
• Set weekly schedules

The AEG LWR7586CUB DualSense UniversalDose is a washer-dryer combination that reduces ironing work with steam. This allows you to steam smooth wrinkles and freshen up your stale laundry after one day of wear. To wash towels and sheets extra hygienically, use the 'hygiene' program. This washes clean at 60°C and removes bacteria with steam. You can also use this function if you have an allergy to animal hair or pollen, for example. The washer-dryer combination has enough space to wash 8 kg and dry 5 kg. Do you often use detergent pods? Then add this to the UniversalDose detergent drawer. Here you will find a separate box that allows you to activate pods faster. You can also use the drawer for liquid detergent or washing powder.

Manual

Fractals

A fractal is a self-similar, or self-shaped, geometric figure. This means that the entire figure is made up of several parts that look more or less the same as the entire figure itself. Nature is chock full of fractals. Think of the branches of a tree (each branch looks like a small tree), clouds in the sky, or stalks of cauliflower or broccoli. The mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot introduced the term fractal (derived from the Latin fractus, meaning broken) in the 1970s and used a computer for the first time to visualize the results of calculations. This led to the Mandelbrot fractal, which is still one of the best-known fractals today.

In the Mandelbrot fractal it is clearly visible that details again contain the complete figure.

Chaotica
Numerous fractal generators have now been released for both PC and Mac, of which Chaotica is one of the most extensive (chaoticafractals.com). With Chaotica, beginners can create beautiful wallpapers or animations in no time, while advanced users can have fun with the dozens of parameters that can be set independently of each other. Chaotica's interface is similar to other graphics tools like Photoshop or Premiere Pro, so you'll likely be able to quickly get to grips with the palettes, sliders, and other settings. A characteristic of Chaotica is that not one mathematical formula is used to generate the fractals, but many at the same time. Every parameter of every formula is customizable. The result of the calculations is projected on top of each other and you can design complete desert landscapes, starry skies, cathedrals or futuristic eye-catchers.

Chaotica is available in a free version (with limited resolution and animation duration) and in two paid versions. With the most extensive version of 89 euros you can have fractals and animations calculated in any desired resolution, up to 4K and 8K. It goes without saying that a fast computer and graphics card are indispensable! But the free version is great to get started with. The maximum resolution in this version is 1280×960 pixels. Therefore, download this version from the website – chaoticafractals.com/download – and follow the standard installation wizard.

Soundhole pickup (Humbucker + mic) for acoustic guitar

Harley Benton TrueTone SH-30H Pro Active Humbucker, active magnetic soundhole pickup for acoustic steelstring guitars, active ultra-noiseless design, combination of magnet humbucker that pickup strings & build in microphone that pick up the resonance from the body, integrated volume & mic control, powered by two small CR2032 batteries for up to 160 hours of performance, attached 70cm cable with 6,3mm jack plug, dimensions: 107mm x 34.5mm x 19.5mm, (NOTE will not work for nylon stringed instruments).
Price Thomann €59.

The sound of the humbucker pickup is astonishingly good and really comes to life when the sound from the built-in microphone is blend in.

Because the sound is so incredibly good, I installed the jack plug on the back of the guitar and thus made it a permanent setup.

Takamine jumbo, electro acoustic guitar

Looking for a jumbo model, I bought the following guitar from Bas from A'foort:

Takamine G-series EG523SC-black

The Takamine EG523SC Acoustic Electric Guitar has outstanding bright and clear sound by itself or plugged in. It features a Solid Spruce top, Block MOP and Abalone inlays, Maple back and sides, Rosewood fingerboard, and chrome tuners.
The TK-40 preamp gives you a tunable notch filter and switchable midrange contour. The notch filter allows you to dial in a setting to eliminate feedback issues. It does this by cutting out harsh frequencies that are inherent in amplified acoustics. Active electronics with onboard EQ translate all that tone into the electrical world with total fidelity. The onboard chromatic tuner is very convenient and easy to use. All together an absolutely gorgeous guitar. (Price: €260)
