Apple sucks 🙅♂️
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
I’m currently looking for a possible replacement to my Xiaomi Mi A1 (it’s showing signs of aging and has an annoying GPS bug). I’m evaluating previous-generation refurbished phones as well. While iPhones look great on the surface and aren’t really more expensive than premium phones from Samsung etc., I won’t buy an iPhone though. First, iOS is locked down so much, the only smartwatch you can use without problems is the Apple Watch and I won’t buy one to replace my Galaxy Watch. You also can’t install any apps Apple hasn’t approved. Second, the whole drama about in-app-purchases and Apple’s uncompetitive behavior is annoying as well. I won’t take an iPhone unless someone gives me one for free. Apple sucks! 🙅♂️

Kev Quirk and Horst Gutmann recently wrote about how much it cost them to run their blogs. So I thought, I could write about it too.

Updated on
Someone reminded me about reveal.js and I just took a look at the project site. It seems like reveal.js got a completely new website and a major update to version 4. I already used reveal.js for a few slides and liked it. However I didn’t consider it for my recent university presentations, because there I needed a PDF version of my slides (and the PDF export somehow didn’t work quite well with my past slides) and I didn’t really had the time to experiment. Next time I will try reveal.js again.

A small life update:
I’ve been quiet for the last few days. But that’s not because something bad happened to me. I am still alive and I have spent a lot of time with my partner, first preparing her oral exam and then celebrating her excellent results. Additionally I had to give a presentation myself.
And as it seems, the summer heat is coming right on time after these tests. The last days it was already around 20 to 25 degrees. Today even 30 degrees. In the sun it is everything but pleasant and I prefer to hide in the apartment.

I don’t really like the language of this website (it would also have been possible to communicate the content in more civilised language), but I agree with the content:
