FWIW, I've found Facebook far less depressing and irritating once I discovered the "unfollow/unsubscribe" feature. It's fantastic! No more overinundation with stupid political posts or daily photoshoots...

It's a lot more than that. I support several hundred PCs and 99% of them are running XP. Yes, this includes brand new computers. The problem is that with each "upgrade" MicroSoft makes the OS worse and worse. ...

That Wellness app is something thatI myself and a lot of other people like to have. Especially as in my case I'm living in the Netherlands where because of the crisis many health jobs are cut off, this could help people...

Have you found any technologies -- apps, voice-activated devices or websites, or other tools -- that help blind diabetics? If so, please share them.
In reply to: Blindness and Diabetes
I linked to an April New York Times article that discussed how small advances in technology can dramatically increase the price of insulin pumps and other medical devices diabetics need to stay healthy. The article...

I think companies will always try to find a way to reduce cost and decrease the number of employees needed for a task. In these cases, rather than automate, government should work with schools to provide young people...

Thank you for raising a very, very important point. I had thought there would be more voice-activated pumps and other technologies available for diabetics and was surprised at the dearth of these devices. Why, do you think,...

jastro,
I don't know what you are taking about. :/ Maybe you have confused me with the person to whom I replied below? He is the one who hasn't used Facebook for a decade.

@Angelfuco Yes, it's better for the budget but also better for the environment -- less waste and trash from devices considered obsolete as soon as the new version comes out.

I like the larger screen smart phones but I like my phone in my pocket. If it won't fit in my pocket I would have a problem. So at what point do they get to big?

Building a Mobile Business Mindset
The differences between mobile apps and conventional Windows clients, or even web applications, are far more than skin deep. Yes, the touch-versus-keyboard interface, APIs, and programming languages are new, but that’s arguably the easy part. There are profound differences in how the two are built, the functionality each prioritizes, the release cycles on which they’re developed — even the attitudes, values, and work styles of the developers creating them.
