Irgendwann Anfang des Jahres habe ich mir nach langem Zögern eine Moonlander MK1 Tastatur angeschafft. Ich hatte mir einige Vorteile davon versprochen, aber auch leider einen entscheidenden Nachteil gesehen… Die Vorteile sind: Dadurch,...

Nachdem ich in der letzten Folge von Operation Wintermute mit dem Energiemessgerät von Steckdose zu Steckdose gelaufen bin, um herauszufinden wo ich Energie sparen kann, war das beim Gas doch deutlich entspannter. Ich habe nur eine...
In der letzten Folge von Operation Wintermute hatte ich ja versucht, ein Ziel festzulegen um das Energiesparen ein bisschen zu gamifizieren. es geht nun also um 2.000 kWh Stromverbrauch, 10.000 kWh Gasverbrauch und unter 150 Euro pro...
