I've had a Withings Steel HR (was briefly owned by Nokia) for 5 years and would recommend it to anyone. About £150 new, still achieves a month plus battery and in that time all I've done is change the band a few times.
It might be worth trying the Insync client instead of the official OneDrive one as I've found that quite slow to sync large libraries. It's far more customisable and runs on Linux too.
> I would admit that it would take many years to make a dent, but there's no rush to it. Windows seems a sitting duck. Nobody, including Microsoft, seems to care about it.
Microsoft are too busy making money on Azure and M365 subscriptions for the hundreds of thousands of companies heavily invested in Microsoft apps. Windows is just one platform to get users to those apps. Microsoft are pushing Intune/MEM so organisations can push Microsoft apps to all devices including Apple ones. They don't care about the OS because it's not important.
But then you have to deal with conflicts in a sensible way that won't lose users files and make it simple enough for people to choose which files to synchronise.
> I know people that don't think raising the minimum wage basically just causes inflation. They're just wondering why apartments in undesirable areas became 3x more expensive when minimum wage went from $5 to $15.
That's a pretty poor example though as there are many factors that contribute to property prices and there isn't just a mechanical link between wages and house prices.
So you'd prefer to see millions in negative equity unable to sell while companies buy up the ones that are repossessed? I think that would actually be worse than the current situation.
Sadly closed my Monzo account down recently after applying for a joint account with my partner and being denied with no explanation (both long term users, good credit etc). Apparently a common story. Opened a Starling account and got one straight away. It's a shame because the Monzo user interface is miles better.
This is almost always down to third party software and people installing tons of junk software that starts with the machine. My laptop that I've used every day for 6 years is still as fast as it was when I got it.
Except schools have a responsibility to ensure that they safeguard their students against online abuse which is extremely common between students. Students will routinely bully each other over school messaging systems so it's important schools have systems in place to deal with this.
Surely the biggest problem with any social media is the ability to influence it's users and promote or demote certain content more than the data collection in itself. We should probably be careful allowing any other nation having the potential to influence public opinion if the last few years are anything to go on.
