At the start of this year, I got a subscription. I got through it for a few months and then stopped using it again. Now I procrastinate picking it up again.

Thanks for sharing this. Do you have a source for this fact? :)

This reminds me of the book "Ends." by Joe Mcleod. It manages to very well describe what the implications are of not taking the end of your product into account. Give it a read if you are interested in topics like planned obsolenc

I like having visual memories too. But are my memories triggered by a self-made almost identical photo of a specific glacier or tree at a touristic attraction? In the last couple of years I've not taken photographs of things from which

Out of interest, do you have a high sensitivity to noise around you? I don't live in a particularly big city and when I visit bigger ones I do feel they are noisy. But not noisy enough to wear protection. I do wear protection when I&#x

This quote from the article baffles me: > The good instagrammers try to show different ways of enjoying nature. We don't tag places that are off the beaten path that we want to protect as long as possible. Some places have become &q

If nobody goes to retail stores to _ask_ for a specific type of security glasses, how will they ever know to stock it? We, the consumers making Amazon's monopoly.

There is a gray area there. First impression is important AND the first impression is not just the name or icon. It is the combination of many things. The value the specific product gives you as the most important one. I'm not dismissi

That's a very interesting question. Have you already been researching some solutions? And if so, which resources did you use? I'd say the most important aspects could be: - Available fresh water - Population density - Job availabi

When you need to type a full name. Having a keyboard present could give a huge advantage. This is not equal to having a touch screen. Next to that, my car has a system where you choose 1 letter and only the next possibility pops up. It decr

I agree on the flexibility part. Interesting thought. Although that doesn't necessarily mean it has to be a touch screen. There are many non-functional buttons in my car right now, which might be wired but just don't perform an ac

Yeah, I have used Android Auto. It worked fairly well for me. It was very pleasant to have some apps accessible on the screen of my car. But it didn't integrate with all the buttons in my car. Also the connection wasn't always wor

I can imagine it's the combination of looking at the touch screen and reaching out. A button can be reached with sense of touch alone. A touch screen must be looked (or at least glanced) at.

Praise to Mazda for making this decision. As a User Experience Professional, I was never able to grasp the true user's need for touch screens in cars. For years I have been working on product interfaces (not just apps). Many studies I

Interesting finding. I am one of those people who thought localhost was 99.9% secure. Not a developer, tho. But did some fiddling in code. Thanks for sharing.

You made a valid point here that I didn't express in my original comment. I'm not saying traveling is bad. I basically wanted to state that starting a career doesn't necessarily have to be in a Tech Hotspot. It can be a small

I would start in the city where I grew up and currently live. Giving back to your local community is important. Especially if you have a new trade or know something that is currently not there. Biggest plus points: - No car required. Everyt

No flame intended here, but have to state this. Worm-eater. That's such a typical solution. The cause of this migration should be given a solution, not the effects or result of the migration.

Interesting read. Its good to realize that a interview process and the work involved can turn into your own business. Shows again that good efforts pay off anyhow.

Ah CU2, the memories. It's a while ago. One of the interesting things there is that it actually made people aware of technology. You had to learn some HTML (for horrible purposes though), you had to read urls. Maybe it wasn't alwa

Quietness. As a creative person it's very easy for me to get distracted. I try to work with noise canceling and white noise, but that doesn't really work that well. A library like quiet place would be a gamechanger for me.

I wonder how big the "Works-with-Nest" ecosystem actually is. With that I don't mean the _potential_ size, but the actual size in terms of usage. Does anyone have a bit of insight in that? Maybe that could give more insight i

Interesting to see that Figma seems to be adopted by at least the OneDrive team. They were working on some explanatory images and copywriting there. Does anyone know if they use any other tools to collaborate on design?
