On iPhone 7 Plus and iPad Pro battery was awful for me until I did a totally clean install and manually added back apps. Massive bore but fixed battery problems.

Statistics routinely prove the majority of people feel they are an “above average” driver. I imagine the same is true of being “above average” in life for their situation.

OP’s post is about those times when your feeling that you’re “above average” is questioned, by those times when facts strongly suggest you’re not.

What then? Quitters quit. That’s not good, right? Persistence wins, graft often beats talent.

But statistics also show the majority of investors (amateur & professional) hold their losses too long and sell their winnings too early. They failed to learn when to quit.

It’s complicated, for sure.

(“Fail fast” - is that quitting?)

The problem with this is that Drive File Stream is not available except as an EAP (Early Adopter Programme) which you can apply for but are given no guarantee or timeframe re access, afaik.

This means any migration to Google Team Drives (their Dropbox service for GSuite business) results in all staff losing all access to local file sync.

(And this is particularly a problem for non-Gsuite-Friendly file types like Pages, Keynote & too-complicated-for-Google-Sheets xlsx files which need to be downloaded, edited, renamed and re-uploaded.)

Not cool.

Great list. I hear you re subscriptions but people who are new to (I.e. don’t own) many of the apps you mention...

Paw, iStat Menus, Ulysses, Gemini, 2Do and quite a few more

Can get fully working copies on Setapp for a really low monthly price. Setapp is a heavily curated subscription app bundle from the MacPaw folks. People cd save a bunch of money and also have access to a large number of useful apps that once in a while are ideal to do a job but that you wouldn’t purchase for one-off use.

It’s a super interesting space: we’ve been working on a similar concept here at Shepherd (Shprd.com) for a couple of years. We use existing SCADA & BMS embedded sensors as well as industrial standard retrofit sensors to send data to our cloud analytics platform.

Uptake is strong, as you say, because facilities management can benefit a lot from condition-based monitoring enhanced with ML.

Good luck - reach out if you want to chat,

For the last two years we have been building out an AI-driven anomaly detection service that monitors critical equipment for failure: https://shprd.com. We make it possible for small & medium sized companies to be able to get the huge cost and manpower benefits of predictive maintenance as a turn-key solution - connect cheap sensors to motors, boilers, A/C compressors and monitor them for correct behaviour, alert on abnormal performance and before failures (a full list of what we monitor is at https://www.shprd.com/deployment).

We are using various ML modelling methods to understand each sensor's normal operating behaviour - more info on the tech is at https://www.shprd.com/technology

We are just coming out of our R&D phase and into full commercialisation. Any critique of the explanation site or other info welcomed!

One other surprising thing about turbofans is that the majority of their thrust is produced by the huge main fans (the blades which are visible as you stand and look at the front of the engine) simply dragging the aircraft through the air as with a turbo-prop (or boat prop). The ultra-high pressure compression and burning stage (being discussed here) produces only 30-45% of direct thrust but clearly powers the spinning of the large components.

My father-in-law started at RR as a graduate trainee and left 40+ years later as its' longest serving member of staff, CEO and Chairman. he took me on tours of these plants when I first met my wife which was an unbelievable treat.
