Vivaldi is great because it gives you the feeling that you're in charge of your browser and it's working for you, and not a source of constant frustration and UI niggles.
Download it and spend 15 minutes going through every option and learning what it does and tweaking it to your liking, it's not perfect but for power users like Reg readers it's so far ahead of the rest it's hard to see a day when I'll ever use anything else.
I maintain that there is a market for small smartphones, most notably in the <£100 category (i.e. not iPhone price).
It's really advantageous to be able to use a phone with one hand, and, everything else being equal, smaller phones are less fragile, take up less pocket space and are lighter. You could have a well-specced phone - nice camera, fast processor, high DPI display, large memory - without a massive screen.
Could you imagine going back twenty years and telling people that in the future you'd need two hands to operate a mobile phone? They'd think you were mad!
Not everyone wants watch Netflix on their phone, personally I couldn't think of anything worse. The only video I watch on my phone is the odd Twitter clip and even then I take little pleasure in it.
This makes the huge assumption that pricing will stay as it is, over the coming years, in a rapidly changing market.
My FTTP ISP has an entry level 50Mbps/50Mbps product for £20/month which is only a little more than the cheapest ADSL offering. I don't see why Openreach won't follow suit especially as they are supposedly overbuilding existing FTTP networks and need to stay competitive, given that Virgin covers 50%+ of the population and have their own gigabit offering.
I can't stand Signal. It's riddled with problems:
- clunky app
- can't set different alert tone for personal messages and group messages
- rubbish desktop client, can only leave groups or mute people via mobile app
- messages sometime fail for no reason, especially in large groups
- more that I can't think of off-hand
Obviously the Signal protocol is solid because WhatsApp are able to implement it really nicely.
Telegram has the best feature set in my mind and the UX is SILKY smooth, plus doesn't have irritating group size limits like WhatsApp.
The Signal changelogs are witty, though!
Something like a Panasonic KX-P6100?
I had a similar model but it died having had very little use, unfortunately.
I now have a Dell 1100 (rebadged Samsung ML-1610) which I somehow manage to keep going. The output path (? as the paper leaves the printer, after going through the fuser) used to chew up everything that I printed so I took some bolt croppers to the rollers and leave the fuser cover open with a screw wedged between the cover and the switch to fool it into thinking the cover is closed. Works fine!
