how does your current employer operate? how does delivery of working software happen for you?

All 17 customers had to return charge cases, imagine the toll on the postage network

what? I mean I understand what you're saying, but literally what?

the whole point of technology is to surprise and delight customers and abstract these details away! I don't care about megablaaadywhowhos of storage or gigapoops of transfer. why are you threatening to brick my expensive hardware, and why then are you bifurcating the apps?

it's laziness and laziness at best

abstract the details away and give me the same delightful experience regardless of my hardware

What a hot mess from a number of perspectives;

- big bang release for the S2 app, lazy approach, do it incrementally instead!

- sonos threatened, a couple of years ago, to no longer support older speakers, what a joke

- why is there a different S1 and S2 app? is there a terse explanation of this somewhere? i really don't get this, it feels like either laziness again, or an indirect way to push people toward refreshing their hardware

I don't follow -- care to extrapolate?

I listed the largest positions accounting for majority of $ invested and majority of portfolio.

I definitely have other bets which did NOT work out; FSLY -90.58%, ZIZTF -76.81%. These were smaller bets, I'm still bag holding hoping Nightingale turns it 'round @ FSLY.

I recently exited AAPL in May, which turned out to be a poor move.

I'm definitely NOT great at picking stocks and I probably do overestimate my ability. Look at my horrible FSLY pandemic trade.

Taking direct control and responsibility has been a good learning and overall financially rewarding experience for me.

was in similar position -- rolled all previous employers into vanguard IRA, self directed; VTI, NVDA, JPM, COST, MRK...

have not regretted decision to take direct control

There's also Ubuntu Touch which I hope gathers steam. I installed it on an old Pixel 3a I had lying around mostly for fun, in much the same way I did for GalliumOS install on an old HP Chromebook.
