I think oboe is the only instrument I can't play for more than 5 minutes without feeling like I'm going to pass out…
@matigo I do sometimes wonder what the broader long-term consequences for this kind of mindset will be — a mindset where consumers are so brainwashed(?) by (invisible) lax developers and data-hungry trackers that they never expect the UX to get any faster even as hardware continues to improve every year.
@matigo All the R&D goes into mirrorless now, possibly because it's not worth competing at the P&S level.

@matigo Oh no — I just never work on the assumption that any position is a "forever" one.
Credit to one of my closest friends for suggesting that I keep a log in the first place. I didn't at my previous job, but always had stories to tell.
He was absolutely right that I'll be able to publish a book of this stuff by the time I leave.
You would think that idiocy at work occurs mostly in the big companies weighed down by bureaucracy, but my log file has already exceeded 19,000 words (quotes and my analysis/commentary) in just 11 months.
Key points:

@matigo Spend another hour installing an umbrella clamp, and marvel at the wonders of nature as it stops raining the moment you tighten the final screw.
I get the feeling WhatsApp doesn't play nicely with iOS 15's focus modes. Phone started vibrating for absolutely no reason that I could see yet I knew it could only be a missed call (the only time my phone vibrates consistently). On the second call, the video chat notification managed to display.
@matigo This one's pretty good. I use a book stand rather than the screw-in leg it comes with (feels a tad flimsy but good for travel). Single Y-cable (HDMI and USB) to power it though I can't seem to find braided replacements.
@matigo Dasung Paperlike HD. 13 inches only but very portable, which makes me wonder if I'd take it with me on any extended trip.
