@matigo The background service that handles the communication times out when opening the socket. Now that I thought about this problem again, it may be an OS version issue. The devices the app will be run on have Marshmallow, the others have Nougat.
Today's WTF Android: a 3rd-party library that handles the Bluetooth communication with a payment terminal couldn't open the connection because of a timeout on Nexus 5X and OnePlus 3T. No such problems with Samsung A5, which is the device the app will be running on when it is deployed.
@streakmachine Have to have a possibility to have fun, this shit also know as work (or more specifically, Android) is causing headache once again.

@matigo Oh comma my… Maybe we should be different and make it black?

@matigo Yes, that www-subdomain is essential, without it the user should get an error message (that, obviously, does not tell what went wrong).
// @streakmachine
@c Nope. Just declining number of deliverables (letters, magazines, newspapers) and their own inability to adjust to the changes in a way where the customers would benefit.

@c Knowing how the national postal service works here1, I would like email (or e-mail, as some 'Muricans still call it) to be called just mail.

That is, not that well. There's a lot of things going wrong with them.
@matigo Yesterday or the day before there was a column in a local newspaper where the writer was pointing out that languages evolves in interesting ways. For example, digital photos are nowadays called just photos whereas printed photos require that "printed" word to be associated. Similarly, very few call their smartphones smartphones, they are just phones. These e-service providers should drop that prefix, a service is a service, in the end.
@matigo One of the few people I have seen wearing an Apple Watch regularly is a neighbour of mine, a (currently) stay-at-home mother. I haven't asked her how she likes it. Maybe I should. I know people like to bash it, but as many have said it's a very personal device. Some people love it, some hate it. In my opinion those who bash it publicly are morons, they are doing a disservice to those who might like it but are not trying it out because the "experts" do not like it.
On the topic, I would love to replace my Fitbit1 with an Apple Watch. The Fitbit experience is… lacking the "whole experience" becaus of the missing ecosystem integration. Also, it's way too sensitive even though I have set the sensitivity setting to the other extreme. I have almost 100 "steps" before I get up from bed, and oftentimes I have reached my 10k goal when I have been washing my hands when I'm back home from work.

Yule gift from my wife. She wanted me to use the vibration feature on the thing to wake me up instead of the alarm on my phone.
