@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.
@lukasros I have a confession to make. I haven't watched any of the Star Trek series. I may have watched a part of an episode here and there when it was on TV, but I haven't followed any series. Actually, I watched some of the original movies just this summer. I really should watch them all and maybe one day start watching the series too.

@matigo But you didn't specify if the targets were supposed to be those who were involved in this mess…
@matigo Who should I wipe off? Do you have any specific targets in mind? Bieber, Celine Dion?
Fucking great. My wife's debit card has been copied (where and how, that remains a question, she's damn careful with it) and it has been used in Canada for 5 purchases.
Quite pretty LEGO Star Trek shuttle: https://www.brothers-brick.com/2017/08/26/lego-shuttle-star-trek-next-generation-instructions/

@matigo I guess. But in this case the platform behaves in a very unexpected way, making my attempt to achieve a thing damn hard. Maybe I need to consult a colleague of mine who has more experience than I do.
There are days when I think I am a very efficient Android developer and then there are days when I find myself a total newbie because of some weird shit in the platform.
