Because I don’t want to give google any money. And mullvad has many other uses besides blocking YT ads.

Doing this in the context of blockchain is probably a filter. Only folks who don't think his is all a scam anyway would apply there. So you filter for getting the more gullible folks. That are more likely to have a wallet somewhere.

Just like nigerian prince scams are always full of typos and grammar issues. Because only those not recognizing that as obvious scams click the link and thereby this is a filter to increase signal to noise for the scammers.

> Software teams at apple really need to get their act together.

WatchOS 26 has rendered my Apple Watch almost useless. It's gone from lasting a whole day including 2 cycling 'workouts' for my commute and the occasional lunch time run (or gym session before work) to now being at 40% battery by the time I make my mid-morning coffee and dead before I get home.

I don't use most of the 'smart' features anyway - I'm mostly using the fitness features - so I'll probably switch to a Garmin at some point.

There's a lot of benefits you get by mentoring. When you have to teach you're forced to think more deeply about problems, see it from different angles, and revisit questions you had when learning but tabled at that time. That last one is pretty common. There's always questions you have when learning that you have to avoid because you don't have the knowledge to answer yet, because they would take you down too deep a rabbit hole. But later you have the experience to navigate those problems.

Personally, I've learned a ton while teaching. It's given me many new ideas and insights. But I'm obviously not alone in this. Even Feynman talks about how teaching results in better learning

They never really had much of a reason to create a competitor. There where already plenty of alternatives once online shopping/payments became a thing.

Here you could do "cash on delivery", credit/debit card, account transfers (yes even across banks, it not as big an issue as US banks makes it) or you could send stamps (not a popular options).

There was never a need for PayPal or PayPal style services. These days it's safe to assume that people have a debit card (or MobilePay in the case of Denmark).

All three of my banking apps offer adresse books.

where are you at?

Are you from the states or canada? The parent talked about europe.

a beloved tool from Potsdam, Germany. Best in market for planning routes. I always had my grievances with their lack of premium features that where catered towards ambitious cyclists that use their phone instead of a GPS though. They could have had all my money of they would have had a customizable UI (or at least a bunch of skins to choose from). So much data collected and no useful HUD. Just copying what Garmin etc have (e.g. audio indicators for next turns) would have made a big difference...

ANT+ appears to be dying and Garmin has started moving away from it. Although I'm sure they'll still support it for several more product generations.

Is it me or does it seem like the internet era has taken away incumbent advantage and actually put incumbents at a massive disadvantage? I'm not here to attack or defend what Trudeau has actually done, only to posit the idea that once you become a leader in the political landscape there is a very effective machine whose only job is to attack you, personally, as much as possible anywhere you're perceived to be vulnerable. If you've followed US politics for the last decade the perfect example of this is "tan suit".
