Data Migration

It's probably an overreaction, but my feelings about data privacy have hardened over the last weeks. The Orange One has given me pause on several fronts.

Writing Applications

However, the world is far from perfect, so I've accepted that a little copy and paste is often much less hassle than seeking perfection (or obvious functionality that the biggest companies in the world can't be bothered to do...sorry. FOCUS!)

New (old) phone

I hit the button for live-chat support. The first support professional decided that it was all too much and terminated the chat. Oh.

Stepping Down

In the meantime, I’d like a phone that fits in my pocket and does the few things I need. I'll wait and see if there's an AI offering that I desperately need to have in my pocket.

Oh, look! A Window(s).

If it was mentioned once, it was mentioned one hundred times. The new machines outperform Apple’s M3. The laptop has enough battery to play video for twenty hours, and the Pro for fourteen.

Who shut the Window(s)?

I’d got to the point where, faced with my MacBook Air M1 (2020) and my Lenovo X1 Carbon (2020), I was increasingly choosing the X1. “Why?” I hear Mac fans crying. “Who cares?” I hear others crying.

Fun Mail

One issue is that Windows plans to discontinue the Mail application, sending me back to Outlook. Also, there's something dissatisfying about having different applications on each device.

Mail. Seriously.

Whimsy? Piss off. I'm working here. Outlook wears a tie.
