And then we get into hardware design...
Because you’ve got to get your email over someone’s pipes eventually.
Fastmail is excellent. If you want secure/private/not easily spoofable by a 5 year old and you’re using email.... then you’re doing it all wrong.
Elsewhere the ride to the airport is a quick cheap train. Electronic boarding so no need to checkin. But even if you do you’ve got a dedicated counter with someone waiting for you. Controls are under 2 minutes. Less than that if you have status you essentially walk through. (Fuck the American tsa those incompetent fools). And lounges overseas at a decent airline are like high end spas or better.
Checkout cathays first class lounge in hk. Or Singapore’s lounge for pps.
Then again, status at airlines that are not American come with some pretty excellent perks that are not found in America.
I’d take a long haul to retain status. The routes I fly and the frequency makes it a necessity. Taking a hot shower the minute you step off a plane before you meet a client is worth every dollar.
Up next chefs will be food engineers, tailors will be clothing engineers, and because I changed the oil in my Toyota once, I’m now a Toyota engineer; specializing in fluids.
Words mean literally nothing anymore (ha). Titles in tech are hilarious at almost every level, especially from the outside looking in.
Huge budgets. Insane costs to the user. “Low quality” would be the nicest thing said about them.
If I’m a paying user, how does this stuff make it through quality control? It’s because, there is no quality control.
I witnessed that happen to a few prominent financiers in Toronto while I was getting some bloodwork done. It was terrifying within about 5 minutes I had all the personal information I’d need to do some seriously nefarious things.
This happens on most every occasion I visit a clinic in Canada. Nurses and secretaries do not care.
That’s hardly an app. I love fastmail and have been a happy paying customer for years. But that’s their biggest pitfall.
In fact most larger cities not only have tier pricing but also peak pricing inside tier levels.
Commercial and industrial is its own game, they have tiers and on/off peak charges along with load shedding requirements. Often it’s billed not just kWh but also peak amperage draw.
Edit: by load shedding I mean commercial/industrial end users often have to be able to accept incoming excess power from the grid that residential use isn’t consuming due to weather/events grid failures etc. Power grids are immensely complex and very interesting beasts.

This has quite a few voc’s that really give your stomach a churn if you are in close proximity.
Remember windows before the precision drivers? Linux touchpad stuff today is where windows was a decade ago. This is a fundamental portable use issue that has to be tweaked with each distro and machine.
Hand a Linux machine with a clean install to any non tech person and they will ask if your trackpad is broken. It is.
On some Lenovo hardware it’s usable, but still so far off of power management and suspend resume of both macOS and windows that it’s not an option for someone who spends a lot of time travelling with a machine.
Desktop workstation wise it is fine.
It sure is interesting sitting back watching your average consumers purchase chromebooks and nexus phones only to have their subsidies be pulled.
Chrome books with the baked in eol, and cloud storage cut in half was a pretty evil moment. Curious to see what the future has for the customers who have become the product.
Why are the defaults set this way???
Especially not the last 3 years or so when it’s been a buggy software mess of outdated dependencies.
