The iPhone 13 mini is a cute little device, I really like it, but its battery life is so abysmal — can not last even a half day.

Based on my experience, one of the most challenging aspects of CRM is having sales agents manually enter customer data and log activities such as calls and emails, especially when dealing with messaging across different platforms. While many SaaS and open-source CRM systems offer basic contact, lead, and opportunity management features, they often lack comprehensive solutions for these issues.

Wow, I wasn't aware of this. With such amount of money raised, I would expect a more polished app/frontend. Their core open-source product as a password manager is solid, but the UX/UI could definitely use some improvement.

Reading the original article, I must mention the recent LG OLED TV, which required me to create an account to install an app from their app store.

yes, the price is cheap, but the number subscriptions and the total sum of them add up very quickly.

> In some cities, especially in the north they are nearly the majority of vehicles on the road.

lol, do you really live in Vietnam?

How many electric scooters do you see on the street in compare to the gasoline counterparts? Honda alone deliver about 2.7 million bikes per year in Vietnam. All of the Honda bikes are ICE. The number of new electric scooters is not even six figures.

> Toyota will never be very popular in Vietnam.

Recently Toyota is not as popular as some years ago. But they still ship the most passenger cars among other manufacturers last year.

Yes, it is for SEO purposes and to build your own branding presence, and to be less dependant of other major platforms, in this case Youtube.

1. He probably already wrote a script for his video before production. 2. Speech-to-text is quite good and cheap nowadays. So, why not?

Fido auth may be ok but please, stop the "magic link" or SMS authentication.

Even with very fast delivery, having to switch email or SMS still take time and interrupt the signin process. We all know how costly it is to switch context.

Sure, they will throttle or suspend your SIM if you send out an abnormal number of SMSs to prevent spam.

Coca-Cola, Nike ... are some magnitudes different in brand recognition. They can afford to do that. I find it quite frustating when I'm on some startups' websites and after 1-3 clicks around I still don't know what their products or services do, lost in marketing/tech jargons. After that I just quit. Come on people, use English!

Hardware is cheaper at scale too

> Colocated systems tend to work very well at first when the original engineers who set it up are all still at the company and it hasn't run long enough to start encountering rare failure modes. They quickly become a nightmare when your engineering staff turns over multiple times and nobody can remember who knows how to do what on the colocated system or if the documentation is up to date or not.

And AWS systems do not have to face the same problem? Is it easier for a new staff to come in and modify a millions worth of AWS system than a colo system?

My iphone 2G from 2007 still works well into 2013-2014.

Guess I'm the opposite. I hate USB-A the connector with passion. I always have to try 2-3 times to be able to plug the USB-A connector in. Now I keep only 2 USB-A chargers in my home for legacy devices and advice my wife explitcitly not to buy new gadgets with USB-A connector, be it mini or micro.
