Meego, running on the N9, was an absolutely wonderful experience. It was smooth, fast, beautifully designed, and had simple elegant swipe-based navigation system, it had multiprocess app switching (AFAIK before iPhone OS did) and a brilliant newsfeed/notification system. It felt like it really had extraordinary potential. And Elop ditched it.

Elop really robbed Nokia of what could have been an incredible product.

Nearly rode on one these just yesterday: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_150

You might be onto something re:business fit - the system was designed to process benefits payments and, when the Post Office lost this work, was repurposed into an all-functioning EPOS (which it wasn't originally designed for).

I get the distinct impression that, from the offset, the Post Office might have been more concerned with saving face and justifying the amount spent on the system, and this lead to a culture where none of the system's flaws (or poor fit) could be properly acknowledged or addressed.

Here's a simple example that would send a notification if I left my kitchen LEDs on 200 brightness or more for longer than two hours.

  alias: Kitchen
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: template
    value_template: ' {{ state_attr('light.kitchen_led', 'brightness')|int >= 200 and as_timestamp(states.light.kitchen_led.last_updated) + 3600 < as_timestamp(now()) }} '
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: notify.my_phone
    data:
      title: Kitchen lights still on
      message: The kitchen LEDs have been on very bright for more than 2 hours. 
  mode: single

The background animation was a fun touch, but gave me a little bit of motion sickness - I don't know whether it can be made a little smoother.

Do you intend to increase the retention length to beyond 24 hours (this could be a monetisation opportunity, I suppose - the uploader could make a small payment to keep files available for longer)?

Also, my very first question was "How long will my link work?" and I could only find the answer after starting a transfer - it would be good if this info was available up front.

USPS has three categories of mail: letters, flats (flat items too large to be considered letters), and packages.

If you can't even get beyond two sentences without a factual inaccuracy, it does cast some doubt on whether anything else you wrote was accurate.

There are several possible legal bases for processing personal data and legitimate interests is one; if legitimate interests wasn't your reason for processing personal data in the first place, then you couldn't rely on it later.

If legitimate interests were the basis for your processing, and a person requested their data be deleted, you have to be able to demonstrate that your legitimate interest overrides their rights. You should probably also demonstrate there aren't other steps you could reasonably take, eg partially deleting or anonymising the data.

It was a really good read!

Thanks for spotting this! It is a known bug and has been fixed and rushed into beta testing (in Mozilla speak, this is called uplift). The fix is currently in Firefox beta and is scheduled to be released at the end of the month.

There's a bug logged here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1124884

Hope this clears things up a little!
