Ironically, owning a smart watch is what helps me keep focused. I can put my phone down and not be tempted to look at things on it. The watch will alert me if I get a call and only certain notifications go to it while my phone stays parked somewhere else in the house.
Honestly, I’ve been tempted to get an LTE one and stop owning a smart phone… the only thing holding me back is my job requiring one.
Last time I was directed to sign up for a “patient portal” like this, there was separate terms of service for the portal and for allowing them to use my hippa protected data for ads. I did not consent and had an ad free experience. Recommend reading the TOS and rejecting what you don’t agree to. Gotta send them a warning somehow.
On one hand, having been forced to use Skype, I’m happy to see it gone. On the other hand, they somehow made it worse and called it Teams.
Thus far, they’d basically be right. Any fines are simply chocked up to “cost of doing business” expenses and since no one wants to either make solid laws against this stuff OR hold them accountable for current ones, they’ll just keep at it.
I’m in the US and I’m criticizing Germany for taking so damn long to label them extremists!
It’s going to take years if not decades to setup the full supply chain off that deal, he’ll likely be dead by then and China will be laughing the whole time.
Probably a good thing, the US sucked at it anyway. Ukraine was going to be forced to concede so much… Art of the Deal strikes again.
The other part of that is that home theater gear has also improved greatly. In the 80’s/90’s, no one was anywhere close to replicating a theater’s video or audio fidelity. Now you can get massive 4k uhd screens which are technically a higher resolution than digital IMAX (2k stacked instead of true 4k), and pair it with 11.2 THX quality Dolby Atmos audio if you want. Good AV at home is far more accessible than it ever has been.
Message for you sir!
We should all aspire to be as great as Bluey’s dad.
I feel called out!
It is a good video though.
That would be awesome, and I regularly do so on vacations, but let’s be real here: I like having a job so I can have a house and food and pay for goods and services when necessary. Being constantly connected is a basic requirement and responsibility for employment, so I’m going to choose the connection with the least impact on my daily life.
