Retiring young sounds rad. Much better than the actors who gently caress up their finances and have to endlessly take lovely roles (or just get addicted to making money.)

I'm on track for retirement at 46

This has been the last 24 hours of my relationship with Google:

  • I discovered yesterday that if my car pairs with my phone over Bluetooth, my watch will completely stop functioning. This is a new car so I can't say how new this issue is but any time I go anywhere I have to restart both the phone and the watch in order for the watch to see the phone.
  • Today at some point secondary users on Google Homes have lost the ability to reach the Hue bridge meaning on half of my devices I can't control the lights. Google support says it's a known issue and that I'll receive an email when it's fixed. Meanwhile I guess I'm supposed to sit in the dark.
  • Messages no longer sends SMS. When the server-side update to Messages was flipped a couple weeks ago giving it the new UI, it stopped sending SMSs entirely for me. They'd just silently fail, regardless of signal strength or whether it was done via the web interface or the app. When the change was reverted the problem went away. Now the problem is back. Third party apps work fine, except I never use my phone to text, I always use the web. I guess no more texts for me.

yeah it is worse at everything than any actual camera half its price

quote:

But when I tried to rattle off a burst of shots, things ground to a halt. The refresh rate of the screen, which is forgivable when you’re taking one or two photos, makes capturing multiple images a headache. I’m a professed over-shooter, but it has a significant speed limit.

I also found the camera’s autofocus to be slow and sometimes unreliable, especially in low light. And since all this is managed through the touchscreen, it was hard to make sure I had it focused on exactly the right spot. There’s just way more room for error here than you’d find on a traditional digital camera.

haven't seen whether it works out yet, but it is a perfectly plausible route to better camera performance, and better camera performance is one a distinctly useful thing. lot of old nokia people involved with this stuff, and while stuff like the lumia 1020 also looked weird and came with pretty heavy downsides it was a very nice camera.

the counterpoint is quite a number of good implementations of dual-lens systems though, once you go beyond 1 you immediately have a bit of a task to merge the sensor data intelligently, but it does not really get fundamentally harder for any number above 2
