I’m still using my Amazfit Bip. When new, it could go 6 weeks on a single charge. After about 7 years, I still get about 2 weeks – enough for me not to bother looking for a replacement.

I have had nicks in my windshield due to gravel thrown up by vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.

It’s even better than that. In WordPress, you can select a plug-in from within your WordPress administration, and install it directly. You receive update notifications by email, and can upgrade within the administration panel as well. You don’t have to download and then upload anything.

In both Drupal and WordPress, you can upgrade the site and plugins/modules from CPanel.

I find Drupal just as easy to set up as wordpress. Most shared web hosts have a script to do everything for you, including installing updates. In fact, I find Drupal’s administration more logical and easier to manage. (I may be biased, since I spent 10 years developing Drupal sites.)

The other advantage is that, unlike WordPress, Drupal themes and plugins (the Drupal term is “modules”) are almost all open source and free. I find that WordPress has lots of plugins that give you the basic version for free, but then want to upsell you to a paid version.

I like Jitsi, but when I record a session it always silently aborts after about 40 minutes.

I was seeing a lot of crashes two or three years ago, but none in the past year or so.

My parents were happily using Mint for about 5 years, until my brother took over the it support role, and was uncomfortable trying to troubleshoot issues in Linux.

The database app in LibreOffice, based on the Firebird database engine, can do all that.

I use Brevo as well. Free tier: 300 emails per day.

Very happy with them.

I bought a book that had Yggdrasil in a CD that I used so I didn’t have to go into the university for the Unix labs.

I think that the entirety of the book, around 1,000 pages, was printed out man pages.

Did you know that you can edit the title of your post? You should think about it!

I have a Bip watch as well. I actually bought a fancier one, but the Bip has a display that is on all the time, and after 5 years of use still has a battery life of about 5-6 weeks!

It tells the time, buzzes when I get a phone call, and tracks my steps. That’s about all I need.

Back in 1996 I was studying computer science, and one of my courses required me to write programs in Prolog. Rather than go to the school to work on the computers there, I bought an enormous book (I think it was a printout of all the man pages) that had Yggdrasil Linux CD-ROM, and ran it on my home desktop.

My Motorola G Power lasts for almost two days of regular use. I love not having to worry about running out of juice!

Not a very powerful phone, but it meets my needs.

That’s only about one out of every 100,000 people in Pakistan (population about 230 million).

Either of those statistics aren’t very good, or Pakistan is a much better place for children than almost anywhere else on earth.
