Ah indeed, you are right, somehow I missed the unexpected part. I guess because this applies to just about any meeting to me, not only the unexpected ones so I just applied it generally x)

Absolutely great write up. Thanks for sharing it, I didn’t know of it and I’m saving it to share when applicable.
Actually the right side graph needs a correction from my point of view. The decline in productivity doesn’t happen sharply when the meeting starts. For me the decline starts between 15 to 30 minutes before the meeting slowly, as I can hardly concentrate concerned that I might miss the start. If I’m ever in hyper concentration mode, most likely I’ll miss the start of the meeting.
Why would you make the immigrants suffer his presence? They have it hard enough as it is. I prefer to think he’ll get to make some nice friends in prison.
Same here, Fenix 6 for a couple of years and definitely nearly as good as pebble, but I still miss the comfort and size of pebble. The screen is a bit better I think though and the battery seems to last me more but I barely use any of the fancy useless stuff like gps and what not.
I doubt the community that pebble built can be replicated by any other company… I really miss how simple it was to start creating software for the pebble and talking with other devs.
Yeah he worked in Microsoft before that and when he ended in Nokia the path was quite clear what it would be. But I’ve had the chance to talk with many engineers that were working at Nokia back in the day and the problems didn’t start because of Microsoft.
Basically Nokia had the whole management divided between symbian, maemo, and windows mobile, and as they couldn’t agree on a future path all the efforts were divided. Symbian was quite a disaster at the end and it wouldn’t have gone far most likely, those that wanted to continue with it didn’t have a clear view of the changes coming in the mobile world.
Maemo was great, really advanced, based on Linux, and working really well, maybe too advanced even, specially for your common users back then. The whole system was constantly put down and delayed and the first devices sold wouldn’t even work as a phone, only the 4th ended up with mobile connection, which didn’t help at all to make it useful (wifi was not as big as it is now) and sold.
Finally there was Windows Mobile which was still starting basically then and had far less strength, but with the support of Microsoft behind it it was easier to push it out. I don’t understand why it still has such support when it comes to the UI, I personally never liked it and it felt too simplistic and boring, but the more options the better I guess. Of course once Microsoft managed to plant his own guy inside Nokia they managed to favor the balance towards Win mobile and the other two were left behind more and more.
So Microsoft was a key part in what ended happening but they were not the ones that put Nokia in trouble. That was a lack of direction in the management level.
Maemo was so much better than any os coming after it… Meego was in my opinion the wrong path to take. I still miss the N900, what an amazing device it was…
The french movie Titane, the plot sounded so weird I had to watch it, and it was far crazier than I thought… Somehow not the worst I’ve seen but damn it made me feel uncomfortable as hell.
I recommend you to watch one of the director’s earlier movies, Dogtooth, that was the best movie he has made and I’m pretty sure anyone enjoying Lobster will like that one too.
Yeah, I’ve been slowly moving towards using proton, testing it with the free account and I’m on the verge of getting the subscription. The addition of the notes app would make it so much better, I’d pay it right away.
It seems like a very reasonable policy.
Is there some way to handle setting a contact to have the chance to recover the account in case of someone passing away or being incapable of accessing the account before it is deleted?
Wow thanks! Really need to try that one! Live tv is not my jam tho, I don’t care much for stuff I can’t choose when to watch.
Thanks a lot! I’ll check what they have there!
Thanks for the info, I’ll check that DNS proxy. But my issue is not geo blocking itself, I already passed that with VPN but they also require an account with a lot of details in order to watch the content. I have tried creating an account to manage it but without success and it felt too much effort, I’d prefer to find some alternative. Thanks anyway!
Yeah I have a VPN already and recently I’ve been considering changing mail and calendar and storage to proton and have my account there, but didn’t check their VPN service yet.
Without the VPN I couldn’t even get to try the playback, but with VPN I still need a way to circumvent their account requirements.
I did try, but I think the next step was an UK phone number or something… The thing is that they try as hard as possible to block it. And I just want a workaround for it, if there’s any…
Snakes on a plane. I still haven’t watched it but I had to get it just for XKCD…
Who are you and how did you read my diary?
