Not sure? It seems to me that the pen that launched with the Surface Pro 3 (V2), still works to an extent with the Surface Pro 11? That seems rather good, no?
Funnily enough the first smartwatch that was interesting to me was a round watch, so I got the Pixel watch. I don't mind having the UI not being as usable (debatable), but I much rather have a nice looking watch, more like a classic watch. That's like, your and my opinion, everyone has their preferences.
For what it's worth, I do regularly set timers with Alexa when cooking, and I still hate using voice controls in the car... With timers the alternative is also a multi step process with probably smudgy hands, whereas just one button press to turn down AC will evolve into "turn down more, turn down more" with voice
It’s a multi step process with voice too though (at least if you have to enable the listening with a button, because there is zero chance I’m having a hot mic in my pocket or on a shelf somewhere).
Ever had a (lightly) sleeping baby in the car? Glad it finally got to sleep after hours worth of crying? Maybe, just maybe, I don't want to risk asking a voice assistant to turn up or down the AC. Scenario also works for sleeping co-driver.
Buttons are fine. Even though I prefer driving EVs, the reliance on touchscreen/ voice for everything is just annoying. At least for the most common functions like volume control, AC and stuff.
Now imagine being the designated driver on a night out and all your drunk friends shouting commands at the car while you're trying to drive. "Rivian, turn the headlights off!".
Yea, it’s a big disadvantage for EVs that they are being sold with crappy touchscreen instead of buttons and dials, and even the charging is a worse experience than filling gas because of ridiculous apps that barely works!
I was driving a Polestar in the UK, fantastic car, but many chargers wouldn’t work because of my non-UK debit cards… tried many of them, for months.
People prefer physical buttons, because primates evolved in the physical world with hardware to use other hardware for a reason :)
The receptors in our hardware can identify a hardware button without looking... especially while driving a 2 ton object trying not to hit anyone.
Getting his logic to the extreme, we won't have computer keyboards, just a glass slabs with picture of buttons. Ohh... shit, the war is lost, my phone is exactly that. In 5 years only super premium computer keyboards will have hardware keys I reckon.
For what I've read the problem aren't the buttons, but the cabling they really hate.
My absolute go to issue these days with Node is the persistence on doing the same type/interfaces as the browser. The absolute sh* show trying to make a FormData request in Node to work with native Node streams is mind boggling, just because fetch/FormData needs to be EXACTLY like in the browser. Sure, but how about I do not want to put a 100mb file into memory just because I want to use native fetch ....
To be honest, I just went for a small business subscription of Office 365 for personal use, which also gives you mail with a custom domain. SharePoint is decent enough when accessed from the mobile OneDrive App and offers out of the box indexing + OCR of images and pdfs. Also their document scanner is good enough to quickly get rid of all paper coming in...
Office365 would be nice if OneDrive were not crippled with a 1TB data ceiling before "additional storage" expenses, per user, render the use of Office365 too expensive for many a small business.
> No links
> You can’t link to conversations. This means if you want to add context to a Jira ticket or in a code comment, you can’t easily do so.
You can, at least technically, if you know the message IDs (search for Teams deep links).. Not sure why they don't expose this on the UI though.. Shameless plug: If you are looking for linking conversation to Jira, try our app: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1220851/microsoft-tea...
Yeah, besides finally having some progress regarding signing, I think it's great they went with an option that is open and already is gaining traction.
I am:
a) a dev myself
b) head of a small dev/SAAS company/team
c) Atlassian Marketplace vendor
Jira is fine. Atlassian will be around for quite a bit, imho. They have a somewhat decent ecosystem, which helps a lot with the stickiness.
Jira could see a lot of improvement product wise, but at least it has been getting faster in the last year (still slow, though, but not as bad). Their new stuff seems to be a hit or miss, but I especially like their new Jira thing (Jira Product Management), mostly because it comes very opinionated.
I think Jira/Atlassian would benefit a lot from actually providing more guidance on how to properly use their product(s) depending on team size (e.g. moving from 5 to 50 to 500 person teams). Most other tools don't do this as well, but I think that would improve the experience for everyone, dev & mgmt alike..
