I recently saw ‘Don’t Look Now’ (1973). Good picture, a little slow perhaps by today’s standards but worthy of any movie enjoyer’s time! So this movie was shot in Venice. Venice itself being an already beautiful spot to film even today. The way we get to look in a time capsule of Venice in the 70s makes the movie that...
It’s helpful to take a few steps back from time to time to reassess where we’re each coming from on our knowledge of tech (or anything) to better communicate.

I despise the fact that most Android phones start with a 6-inch screen. I was resolute to switch to an iPhone mini next time when I’ll change phones but then they also killed that product line. 🫠
I really miss the time I can do everything with one hand using only one thumb.
The Podcasts app is just the latest product to go through a process I’ve come to call The Google Cycle. It always goes the same way: the company launches a new service with grandiose language about how this fits its mission of organizing and making accessible the world’s information, quickly updates it with a couple of neat...
Wenn Deutschland begreift, dass es internationale Fachkräfte mehr braucht als die internationale Fachkräfte die deutsche Sprache, würde sich die Situation vielleicht langsam ändern.
I tried their email out for some time and was contemplating fully switching over. But somewhat in their email has always felt broken to me. Some days it was the text editor. Other days it was the reader and account thumbnails. Their support was responsive but their engineering really gave the feeling that they didn’t care in the past few months.
I guess that’s why. I just wish something in tech isn’t just working towards an MVP and then once it is out or sold, goodbye.
Alternative to Google, they said. It didn’t seem so alternative by its way of hitting the graveyard.
I’m thinking of logging travel expenditures with a group of people, where different ones can pay bills for the group (or maybe part of the group). It would be the best if you can see how much the group or a person spent, how much you need to pay whom back at the end of a trip....
Thanks! I installed Splitwise and it seems to require a subscription to run? I think I’ll just be using it for a trip or maybe two so subscription for it is a bit too much.
Really appreciate your elaborate sharing! I tried installing Splitwise but it seems to require a subscription to use or only allow me to add a few entries. I don’t think I would be using it frequently enough to afford a subscription so I guess I will try out other alternatives suggested here.
I actually prefer it that way. With tabbed Ribbons (Is it how they’re called?), I constantly have to look over and over again which tab the thing I need is located, ending up in question why X is put here but not there.

The tool is for budgeting so I would say use what is readable for you. Using IBAN for payee sounds like an overkill. You can still manage your payees and merge them later differently.

Which movies have aged like fine wine? (either in their message or cinematography)
