@itsolelehmann This is an awesome idea. I think there are two frustrations with appliances, Too much plastic and too much electronics. We want reliability. Do microwaves, refrigerators, washers and dryers next.
If you want to see @Starlink in Namibia, please email [email protected] and voice your support for Government Gazette 8795, Notice 897 before Dec 12. Namibia is at a pivotal moment in its digital future. The country ranks 149th out of 156 countries globally in median download speed and fixed internet penetration rates are below 5%.
Instead of changing clocks twice a year, what if we fixed time zones altogether?
The continental US should only have two time zones!
fix by:
• Merging PT & MT (move PT forward 1 hr)
• Merging ET & CT (move ET back 1 hr)
The east and west coasts would be just one hour apart. We'd pretty much eliminate jet lag within the US. Teams could work together more easily. The whole country would have more shared hours of daylight and collaboration.
Time zones were created for coordination and commerce. Until 1883, every city in the US had its own local time based on the sun. Then railroads came along and it was chaos... so the railroads standardized to four zones. Some cities still didn't follow this so congress passed the standard time act in 1918.
We’re far more integrated now. So much of our work, trade, and communication happens in real time across coasts. The logic that gave us four time zones no longer fits how we actually live... on the internet!
Downside: it would cheat some people out of a little bit of daylight. But actually not much, since we're used to it with daylight savings time anyway... and far bigger places are on one time zone. Alaska was 4 time zones and moved to 1, all of China is 1 time zone, etc.
Railroads reshaped time 100 years ago and the internet should do it again!

Cloud connected products can't be maintained without recurring SaaS. Divesting the division instead of encroaching on the customers' user experience is the play. Otherwise, it serves as a stark warning on what happens when one's Gmail data becomes invaluable to them.
Just found out that the Nest thermostat and smoke alarms in my home will stop working in a few months.
@tfadell do you regret selling @nest to @Google? As a customer, I do.
