Time to file the divorce papers.

I feel like this would do better in Dad Jokes

I really like the VCR artifacts. Gives it something special.

Flirting is part of the process, the dance. It's also a pretty broad term.

Nah, just us tech heads that are willing to put in the effort (and I'm not, Linux on the desktop has a long way to go, and I use Linux for all sorts of services).

99% of users can't be bothered to understand the concept of a web browser, and that there are different ones. Switch them to any Linux distro and they'd freeze like deer in headlights.

And yes, dumb move my MS, not sure what they're trying to do here.

That was a very cool read, thanks!

Verify your sleep habits and that you're actually sleeping through the night. Disturbed sleep really messes with the cycles, so you don't get proper sleep. If you snore, that may be an indication of apnea, which can really mess with sleep.

Take a look at your diet, and eating schedule. If either are inconsistent, it can affect quality of sleep.

If you drink soda, (or any bottled drinks), work on changing that. Between the sugar and caffeine they can really mess with you in so many ways when consumed regularly.

This is a hard one - pay attention to (and respect) your sleep gate. I've struggled with this my whole life. When you body tells you it's sleepy, listen, and go to bed. I know, it can be tough. But overriding your sleep gate can really mess with your sleep schedule.

Wow, this is awesome!

I don't want much in a smart watch, really just notifications and some nominal ability to interact with them (snooze/dismiss reminders, pause/skip what's playing, etc).

An ePaper screen fits my use-case just fine. Easily readable in most situations, and crazy low power draw.

My experience is the opposite - FOSS is often obtuse, with an assumption that you see things the same was as the dev, which is usually a single person or at most a very small group. Add to that, documentation is nominal, or non-existent, and quite often lacking even a high-level description of what an app does, let alone where to find features in an app. FOSS devs often don't even follow menu layout that's been pretty well established at this point. For example, I've found the Settings menu under File, Help, Tools, View, etc, in different apps.

Proprietary apps are usually developed by a team, one that's studied the market segment (or another group has), and usually understands how that segment operates. They then develop the app based on design goals established by a team other than the developers, with UAT (user acceptance testing) performed at given stages (this is even more frequent today with Agile project management). It's not uncommon for a UI to be mocked up and given to end users to validate UI design/layout choices long before anything is even developed.

These devs usually follow a company standard process, with code reviews by other people. Their changes must be approved by management, and those changes are often requested and reviewed by other teams before being submitted to the dev team.

Most FOSS simply doesn't have the time or staffing to do what most proprietary software dev does.

And I use both proprietary and FOSS all day long.

A "must", only for a subset of users.

If it were truly a "must", more people would be complaining.

I get it, you find Bluetooth unappealing for reasons, just like I find larger phones unappealing. Unfortunately, we're a minority, neither of these are a "must" for most people.

Manufacturers want them - they break more easily

99% of the time, unless there's something I'm convinced I can only get there and I really need it.
