Well that was a fantastic watch. Thanks for sharing.

couldn't you simply apply the same logic to any aspect of the EU?

The EU still keeps trade as a hostage for political games. Think about, who looses when you prevent trade from happening? All of society. This is very self-destructive.

The EU still keeps free movement as a hostage for political games. Think about, who looses when you prevent free movement from happening? All of society. This is very self-destructive.

etc.

These things are different from science. They are local issues with local effects. But science is a global endeavor involving all of humanity, suppressing this for some local political quarrel is quite a low move.

Trade and free movement are definitionally not local issues with local effects.

good, but the damage has already been done. We've missed out on work, had lead scientists leave the country and had to take a back seat on European research just to be involved. Whole thing is a sh*t show.

I did the same, and I still miss my pebble, I miss how well it handled my calendar - and agenda. Now after a number of years with my fenix 5, without it really changing, I'm eyeing up an apple watch, to fill that agenda shaped hole on my wrist/

Same. Wish Apple made an AWU that was less focused on rugged sports and more focused on maximizing battery life.

It’s bizarre that xiaomi and amazfit make nice looking watches with 8x as much battery life as an Apple Watch. What is Apple’s problem?

I would have stuck with the amazfit but the physical buttons won’t control music (and I don’t trust their data policy enough to wear a gps-enabled device on my person 24/7).

Honestly, I know it's not cool, but OneDrive is my go to here. Syncs Photos to my server, which then copies them to a local (non cloud syncing) folder, which is then indexed with Picasa.

Works a treat and requires zero intervention, although is based on a) MS software and b) deprecated Google software, so may not work forever.

I actually don't mind OneDrive - its decent enough, and i already pay a small monthly family subscription (because partner and offspring prefer MS Office - bleh). But, the hard block is that all of my daily driver machines are linux, and there is no native, MS-supported onedrive client for linux. (Yes, i know there are a couple of popular onedrive clients, but no thanks.) So, you know what i did a few years ago? I setup Nextcloud...then tested things out, and it worked great! So, now i have no desire to ever use onedrive on linux, thanks to NextCloud! But, i don't expect others to follow me along.

Ok, absolutely love the idea of feeding my heart rate data into my calendar to see whats delivering me the most stress. Nicely written blog too.

Almost as if it's been designed that way.

Nice article. Some guys in my place are working on a new machine which generates and detects neutrinos. It's called DUNE. It uses a super conducting linear proton accelerator to generate them and 100s of massive liquid helium cooled wire detectors 800miles away! Super exciting project.
