Many dumbphones only support technologies (2G, 3G, etc.) that are actively being deprecated at the moment. If you are using a modern one, you still get rid of many useful things like maps, Signal and WhatsApp (the latter I've found is

If this is a risk, all it's going to do is rise the prices even further.

The problem with this is that they are more likely to lose their best talent first.

I did this for a friend once too, for a year and a half. My friend had been running backpackers, and lost the business (and their place to stay) fast and unexpectedly when the building it was in was sold to a hostile landlord. It paid off.

Different South African here, but I grew up in Durban and now live in Cape Town, with regular visits to Johannesburg (2-4 times a year). Single-glazing is used in all three by default, despite the climate being quite different in all cases.

I respectfully disagree. I did exactly this for a number of years. A colleague (and is now friend since we've both left said company) made it clear he would not work overtime without compensation (and never did), but his day-to-day wor

I have a 1977 MGB and a 2005 MG TF. I still prefer the MGB; its easy to drive, cheap to maintain (relative to buying any new car today), and you have the added benefit of being able to fix things yourself (if you're so inclined) with p

I avoid this with contract work and freelancing. I've also worked at some start-ups that don't put this into their contract (or remove it when asked) so as not to scare the talent away. I think you're right for the larger cor

Funny you should say that: I actually do the something similar with with music videos. DJing is a hobby of mine: I learnt very early on just how much a video can influence how feel about a song. An amazing video can make an average song loo

I've been using DuckDuckGo as my default search engine for the last year or so; it's certainly improved a lot. Something that can help this transition is the bang support [0], with `!g` prefixed to your query. This redirects you t

My MikroTik started going nuts late last week; it managed to upload ~90Gb worth of data in 3 days (downloads weren't nearly as bad). Considering I only have a 300Gb cap, that hurt. I subsequently re-flashed it, and secured it properly

I definitely read it as exploding. It's not what you do, it's how you do it. Swearing (even if partially censored) and capslock are bound to result in a negative emotional reaction from the target, which will only make the target
