You should include the fact that you're leaving, when your last day will be, and (optionally) a sentence about your willingness to "help to make the transition as smooth as possible". Keep it concise.

Is checking your battery status before you start doing something, a usual occurrence in your usage? It isn't for me, and I'm sure it's something I would adapt to do, but in the mean time, it's an inconvenience. For inst

Needing to restart a process that takes an hour, just to plug in my device... Yes, I consider that very inconvenient.

Agreed. I listen to very few tech podcasts, for the same reason: I'm exposed to it so much elsewhere (HN, RSS etc). But yeah, as you'll see by this list, I LOVE podcasts. Here's what's in my 'Listen First' fe

It makes its way back to the dock, but the model I own doesn't start again as soon as it's charged.

Like the scene in Home Alone where the kid puts cardboard cutouts on a model train set, to make the burglars think there's a party happening at the house. :) Edit: I guess that scene was more elaborate than I remembered: https:/&

Agreed. There are viable alternatives, there are migration tools, and the "sunset" is staged nicely. You can't create any new projects on the service. You have 5 months to continue using the service while you work on

The thing that annoys me most is that now GMail by default shows images which can allow spammers and marketers to detect open rates and validate active email addresses. These images are proxied, so the sender can't tell if you actual

But if I have external storage plugged in (I'm copying a large file), and I need to charge the laptop, then I need to disconnect the drive in order to charge the laptop? There are countless examples where daisy-chaining these devices b

Agreed. Great update—I finally understand the product. I also agree with the last line from greggh, too. Calling the things "Loops" is a bit weird and jargony. Something like "cards" (and stacks, being groups of cards?

This is the only instance where I do the "pay with phone" thing. For the same reason—I never have change when parking in the city (New Orleans).

There was a teacher in middle school that I remember fondly that had a great homework policy. His homework was never super time-consuming, but there was enough of it to become a significant portion of the grade. The really interesting part

It's a much different world than it was even 10 years ago, when I was in school. I help raise my 14 year old nice and most of her non-math homework tends to be typing questions directly into Google, and writing the first thing that mak

I'm not saying that I agree with their assessment. Note the last line of my comment. Emphasis added: > Adwords clearly ( but mistakenly, I guess? ) interpreted your page as a gateway page, with the sole purpose being to drive users

There is no ban on hyperlinks. So while your case may be ridiculous, it's not as ridiculous as you imply. Adwords Policy prohibits something called "low value content", which includes: Landing pages that are solely desig

I use Zoho for my startup's email, mainly because it's free at our usage level, and we're very budget conscious at the moment. The only downside I've encountered so far is that the Zoho Mail Android app doesn't supp

I just use DigitalOcean and don't think about it much anymore. They're reliable, flexible and cheap. Also, at the risk of triggering your "sponsored by a company" radar, here's my promo code, which will get you $10

Gotcha. I understand--I have a .mp3 of a voicemail saved for that same reason. A bit of feedback re: why this was unclear: > Eventually, you need to record over that message This led me to believe that you were talking about my voicemail

I thought the value proposition was the ability to save voicemails that others have left for me? What's the benefit of saving my own voicemail "Please leave a message" message? Or am I supposed to use it to call someone else

On Android, it's attractive, functional, and lets me quickly switch between services. I'm not sure what it could do better. FWIW, I have 4 services set up on it.

I don't understand how this works. I get this part: I enter my number. Your website calls my phone. I let it go to voicemail. But how does it get the message off my voicemail? Presumably, it only records my "Hi, you've reach
