Yeah, how well does this work with your younger/older family members? You know, the ones who have full voicemail boxes because they never check them. The ones who can't be bothered to check their e-mail because they're constantly on Discord or Messenger, or are planted in front of the TV.

Then what do you recommend?

Without knowing what platform you're on, I can say that at least on Android, you can mute individual chats (Including groups) so you can keep them from overwhelming your notifications. For me personally, I care more about 1-to-1 chats and less about groups, so those get muted and I check them when I feel like it.

Because it was more than just a health tracker. It was a full-fledged watch, with either a really good B/W LCD or a 64-color E-Ink screen, both always-on; customizable watch faces; actionable notifications, including a surprisingly competent voice-to-text reply feature; music and call handling from the watch; and tons of watch apps (Some with phone companion apps) on an open market. The Time series had decent step and sleep tracking, and the Pebble 2 had heart rate (The Time 2 would have as well).

Pebbles were always designed to be watch companions, not replacements. They allowed some of us to leave our phones in our pockets while still making use of them.

This is a stupid, lazy, and hostile decision. What this will do is cause anyone who isn't a hard-core Signal user to stop looking at the app. Signal messages will sit undelivered for days to months now because the recipient is using iMessage or whatever Google is pushing now for SMS (Which is STILL 75% of my Signal usage, despite years of my efforts) and won't even see the Signal messages waiting.

It depends on the watch. For me personally, I use mine for activity and sleep tracking; actionable notifications from my phone, including voice-to-text replies; music and Podcast listening management; call handling (Particularly with Bluetooth earphones); frequent watch-face changes to match my mood and the situation; fast timers (multiple simultaneous sometimes); quick looks at my calendar and the weather; calendar reminders; and so I don't have to drag my phone out of my pocket all the time. It has also alerted me to leaving my phone behind on several occasions.

If you're already dragging your phone out constantly, and you're happy with that, then one of "these watches" is not for you. Other people don't, and some like the sweet-sweet fitness data and stats tracking, and as an extension of their phone, not a replacement.

The implication is that if you have white/blue LEDs available, that any time you're near them, the 'blue' in the light will disrupt your melatonin generation, making you less likely to sleep (well). They also appear much brighter (or harsher) because blue is higher-energy than red or orange and our eyes pick up on that. They don't emit anything outside of their relatively narrow light-emitting band. Even incandescent lights emit a wider-range of light (i.e. infrared).

Or the one where the rewrite fails, so they start another rewrite (Possibly after disposing of the team and getting another) which may fail, then possibly a third.

Or the one where the rewrite doesn't "fail", but takes 3-5x longer than planned for, double to 10x the resources, runs twice as slowly, and ends up reaching feature parity with the old one about the time a management reshuffle happens and the company begins sliding into obscurity.

In either case, the company's best bet is acquisition or merger... Then the new owners decide to do a rewrite because nothing is like their corporate platform and requirements dictate...

Depends on what you mean, exactly. Free-form editing?

K-9 Mail currently lets you setup sending identities, and you can select which to send as in the Compose screen. It also auto-switches between identities, if a matching one exists.

Having worked in both data centers and warehouses, I can confidently tell you that you would be surprised. The number of converted warehouses I've seen that are data centers was truly surprising my first decade in the business. Seriously. A raised floor, a drop ceiling, and a pile of CRAC units is about all you need. You don't even need a power substation unless you're trying to build big.

The "problem" depends on who you ask.

For the big companies that want to begin running drone deliveries, they don't want pirates scanning for drones and hitting their deliveries afterward. They want an Internet beacon.

For drone racers, they just want to fly without the mandatory hardware (and weight), and all the mandatory pre-flight checks of a Cessna for an FPS drone the size of a chicken and 1/8th the weight. There's also the Big Brother aspects that not only are pilots required to run one of these radio tattle-tales at all times, but Freestyle pilots especially like flying in areas that the FAA won't allow (i.e. around buildings and other structures).

For hobbyists (this group encompasses most of Slashdot and most enthusiasts), they don't want to have to pay (Money, weight, and power) for hardware that does not benefit them. As a rule, they just want to fly their devices with as little interference as possible.

To date I haven't seen anything about the DB of IDs being public.

Do your licenses and insurance documents in the UK have radio transmitters embedded in them? The remote ID stuff being forced on UAVs broadcasts this information in the clear to anyone within reception range. We're not talking about tail numbers here, we're talking about radio transmitters that broadcast this information.

I wanna see that phone list.

It's not like they'll be able to trust any phone number in the (Possibly fraudulent) EDR, and if you just google their phone number, that will end up in phone-tree hell, assuming you can even find one.

So only the local precinct can put in EDRs? What about the FBI? BATFE? Marshalls? Or a precinct in another state (This IS the Internet we're talking about). Just calling the local unified PD is going to get you the run-around.

Yes, exactly! See you're missing a key concept here. This absolutely is "addressing the concerns", namely the CONCERN that some people may have that they're being tracked. So here's an app that can tell you. Concern addressed.
