Reminds me of my first websites. I had a book with HTML tags and I tried to add a form with a submit button. It didn’t work, I had no backend, I don’t think I had a concept of what a backend was at that point. I’m not even sure what I expected to happen with that form.
I’m going the opposite way. I had a smaller keyboard (60% maybe) but I got one with the F-keys recently. Because I can assign one or more macros to each dedicated button.
I am considering a second keyboard exclusively to be a macro pad, but my KVM setup is already at its limits.
I don't think the business events is realistic. It would have to be huge, generic, and have a huge amount of people be very specific with their wants-and-needs, on top of the technical issues I brought up earlier.
Speed dating is called speed dating for a reason, you're supposed to be forced to meet everyone. Probably takes more time to setup yet another dating profile than it takes to simply go through the process.
From what I read on 222, their entire purpose is to get away from algorithms, apps, and whatnot.
Timeleft has, according to their landing page, six people per activity.
I don't mean to discourage, by the way. It's neat tech, I personally just don't see where it could best be used.
EDIT: I could see speed dating have some sort of "prompt" build on top of this. Say the app is rebranded to "SpeedDater" and the organizers said to download it. Then while in the event itself, the apps could give prompts or fun stuff to talk about in realtime, and then later you could eg. say yes/no after the fact, at which point the matches are unlocked. Not sure this requires the local-thing though.
To properly make this work you need to download the app, enter a bunch of information, go to settings to disable sleep mode, not touch your phone and also not have it accidentally swipe away from the app.
Seems like the (only?) target audience for this would hardcode networkers going to network events. And honestly, I think people who go to a event like this don't have this problem of missing a connection they wanted.
> might be the only ones actually turning a profit on all of this
I don't think this is true at all. How many such influencers are there, really, a dozen? I'd guess there are a million people making everything from absolute bank, down to pocket money. Most of them are probably not even aware that these influencers exists.
I use the mouse a lot. I am using a home made [0] app that gives me dropzones when I move a window. The dropzones show up AT the mouse, I can more or less flick the window to where I want it without moving it anywhere or using the keyboard. Although I have not set it up on my newest macbook yet, and I find the default behavior OK.
I do use hot corners extensively to switch between apps and app windows. Can NOT live without them.
[0] It's actually a modified version of an old Rectangle version
Yes, and Dropbox could have been a handful of unix commands.
I don't think I would use an app for this, but as far as I can tell, it aims to crowdsource silent locations, something a shortcut couldn't realistically achieve.
POP mails stopped being imported from my hotmail since some time. I noticed it recently but could not make it work again. Switching to the new (to me, anyway) "gamilify" option from within Gmail settings - I experienced a similar avalanche. Probably two-three weeks ago, but these emails were from decades ago until recent. They did not go to junk, but they were labelled as "email/x/x/junk".
Except for the fact that you can’t scrub on the native video player by swiping anywhere, you now have to use the time-bar. Drives me nuts.
