Eudora email client. I still use one of the last versions. I don't know how I'd function without the filing systems and filtering features, as well as the easy to manage multiple POP accounts ("personalties") and the templates ("stationary"). It just makes juggling everything so much easier.
I forget what it was called, or even who had it (a social media site?, maybe Blogger?), but it was a service that slideshowed images that users were uploading. It was a good way to waste time. It was a site that seemed to have users that would post interesting images, and it was fun to see some of them. You could pause it, I believe.
That's a fair point. I remember being especially frustrated by Azmodan, the supposed "most capable battlefield general" _literally_ yelling his secret plans at me in Act 3.
I got an X1 Yoga (2017 model) last year, and if I can't use bluetooth headphones while on wifi under Linux. Soon as audio starts playing, the wifi will cut out. Problem doesn't occur under Windows. (This is with the latest Fedora, haven't tried other distros yet).
The problem goes away if I switch the wifi to a 5GHZ band, however that isn't an option except at home.
Physical qwerty keyboards on phones. I still miss the Motorola Droid 3 after all these years. photo: https://bit.ly/2yXQWU3
On-screen keyboards are good and all, but there has never been as great a feeling as sliding out a full keyboard and wailing on it. I doubt I'll ever be as fast with an on-screen interface as I was with actually typing on a physical keyboard.
Before they added the POSIX layer and got desperate. Their OO framework the entire OS supported was amazing, but POSIX just meant it was another also-ran:
Oh, look, we can run GIMP too... great Be, bravo... sigh
Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0. Easily most pleasant to hold mouse. It's heartbreaking to use anything else after that.
I'd think that the rise of gaming industry, and especially competitive games, would bring us more refined forms of computer devices, but in fact, every new shiny gaming mouse I tried wasn't even close.
I really really loved del.icio.us RIP.
Today I am using the alternative https://yabs.io - but I don't understand why something so good was closed and now needed to be developed again.
Pebble was my watch for years until Garmin released the vivoactive HR. While Garmin loses style points compared to Pebble, it has much better features and durability.
The first weekend I had it, I tested it by wearing it on a Tough Mudder...it survived without a scratch. 2 years later and the Garmin battery life is still over a week. If you miss Pebble and want something still being updated, look at the Garmin watches (but I wouldn't go any lower than the current vivoactive3 line)
