Looks interesting! Any word on battery life? Couldn't seem to find anything...

This is undoubtedly good news, despite what some people in these comments would have you believe. I seriously wonder if some commenters are being paid by big meat industries to try and sway opinions of richer/more powerful people? Or p

I think the basis of the article is that a lot of people use Slack as a storage of sorts for things that should be archived. That certainly aligns with my experience - I've worked in teams where I've asked for a document or creden
