  • The leather was fine. The part between the rubber sole and the leather shoe (I think it is called midsole?) just disintegrated.

    The were stored in my shoe rack. I wouldn’t say that it is particularly humid there but it would be warm-ish (depending on the weather).

    I wasn’t particularly shocked by this since they were simply lying around for that long. Maybe active use would have extended their life a bit more.

    But maybe I can give them to someone that can add a new midsole so that they can be used again.

    A couple of months ago I was invited to go hiking with some friends. When preparing, since I didn’t have some hiking boots, I saw my boots that I got in my military service. That was a great idea because they were already broken in and all of that stuff.

    After around 3/4 of the almost 15km hike, I lost the sole on the first boot and a km after that the other side. Had to finish the hike on both without a sole.

    Well, they were standing around for like 10 years so I am not surprised that they failed and that the whole stuff between sole and shoe Desintegrated but still.


  • Used a fire TV stick for a long time but multiple factors made me finally switch to an Nvidia shield.

    Worked great for a year and then an OS updated made the home screen 60% ads, especially those that started to play with sound when I was on them for like 2 milliseconds. Installed projectify on it and now I only see what I want to see.

    It is always disturbing to me how much ads I see when I am using someone else’s system, because I banned everything at home.
