There were all sorts of plans to reduce the future requirement by addressing issues earlier, and preventing patients ending up in hospital, but it seemed to me that reduced quality of care in the future is inevitable.

The main body of the iPhone Air is thinner, of course, but including the camera bulge, I think it's thicker than all non-pro iPhones up to the 16.

Is there something about making the main body thinner that makes the iPhone Air more comfortable to hold than other smaller phones? Is it the weight? The 17e is only 4 g heavier than the Air, and the 16e is only 2 g heavier.

I have never been interested in the Air because of the size, so I can't even remember if I have picked one up in an Apple Store.

Healthcare is probably the one that we need some sort of help with the most! I think the need for people (fine - or robots) working in Healthcare will grow faster compared to the others in the future because of population aging.

Edit: Clarified my meaning by adding "some people think" to the sentence "...because some people think AI will solve..."

It seems as though it doesn't affect existing favourites in any way...

Still - maybe take another look? I think it should work. I'll turn lockdown mode on again and test. I can't remember why I turned it off anyway.

Your username checks out :)

Just a couple of days ago, I deleted a shortcut/automation to forward messages to email which I had sitting around for ages. I had disabled it, but I don't remember if I disabled it because didn't need it, or I never got it working. I know WhatsApp was harder.

Free VPN? Does ProtonVPN do what you need?

Edit: By the way, I agree about wanting Android apps. I can't remember what I feel like I'm missing now - I must have learned to live without them.

Fairly frequently, I find myself searching for the password manager entry I want, and copying the username or password.

For a while, I was very consistent in trying to fix the URLs for that password manager entry, every time it happened. But when I'm on mobile, sometimes it's just a pain.

There are quite a few scenarios - I'm logging into an app, and it doesn't use a browser window for authentication, but also logs out after a few weeks, I've been redirected to Microsoft or similar for the login, but I haven't added microsoft.com as a URL for my work login, or GitHub (I could be wrong about this example), etc.

When I list them, these reasons seem like I should have solved them already. I used to try to keep my password manager tidy, but when I'm at 674 entries and it's growing faster than I'm cleaning.

I also think Passkeys are a confusing mess, and I don't mind the idea in addition to a password/TOTP option, but definitely not instead. I do like having it as an option for Google, where I have occasionally encountered a scenario where I login from overseas, and can't login despite having everything they can possibly want (username, password, backup email, etc.). I can't remember the exact details now, so I hope I'm not being uncharitable to Google's login/lockout process, but I doubt it!

Apple TV, Nintendo Switch, ... I'm sure I had more examples. Both obviously capable of playing a video file, but it is not built into the software.

For some reason, the Peugeot 405 is way lighter than I expected. Also not much above 1000kg for some versions. I was also shocked by how nice a place it was to be in, even at highway speeds, on not particularly great roads. I don't remember anything about the road noise, but the ride quality was good.

Well off-topic: One thing I always remember, is that one time I paid attention to the number of different shades of grey there were in the interior, and it was ridiculous. Almost nothing matched anything else. And yet, it was a very pleasant place to be. That car has by far the largest discrepancy of any vehicle, between how much I mocked it and how much I liked being in it or driving it. I was just completely wrong!

Anyone have the equivalent for MacOS? :) I don't have any MacOS devices handy.

I started to list my few, basic must-haves - aware that everyone has a different list - but my own short list got embarrassingly long, very quickly. I thought I had simple requirements!

Obvious basics which surely aren't too much to ask: email, calendar, reminder and note syncing, password manager with TOTP generator, instant messaging (willingly to compromise and have only Signal or WhatsApp), route navigation, basic browsing, half-decent camera, ...

Phone calls - so I probably need 4G and 5G...

Oh - plus uncountable other small apps or utilities that hardly seem worth mentioning: calculator, file browser, compass, voice memos, ...

And then I thought about the ever-growing list of big, ugly Apps that I could live without, but really do make my life easier. Banking apps (sigh - I hate how many of these virtually require an app), the app to unlock my apartment block door, Outlook, Teams, ...

And then I started having sensible, disappointing thoughts. Maybe I'd rather just keep the iPhone 13 Mini. I just got a new battery (and bonus screen) installed by Apple on the weekend...

But seriously, when that starts to be unusable... if I have to carry something obnoxiously large, it better run mainstream Linux and turn into a desktop when I plug a USB-C dock into it!

The usual suspects are the keyboard support in Windows (enabling the extended keyboard navigation in MacOS made some apps act very strangely), and most of the look and feel of MacOS. There have even been things I really liked in ChromeOS.

Obviously there are many nice touches in the big Linux DEs, and I would rather be in KDE Plasma than anywhere else. Because of this, I'm generally not surprised when I encounter something that is done better than Windows or MacOS.

However...!

Yesterday I was editing filenames in the file browser, and accidentally navigated down to the next file in the folder - still in filename editing mode! It was a feature I didn't even know I wanted. Suddenly, I could edit a whole list of files, just as if it were rows in a text file. Now it's Monday, and I'm back in Windows. I am unlikely to need to use that feature, but still wish I didn't know what I was missing.

As I understand, a fairly large number of people register cars in Montana while never living in the state.

Edit: Just to add, maybe the scenario you described should be cracked down on, but it feels like less purposeful avoiding/evading a tax. My opinion is that could come afterwards, with more warning given to people.

If this is a joke, it's over my head. If not, I'm not knowledgeable enough in this space to pass judgement, but that would seem crazy to me. Like the owner should consider a domain name change :)
