Time to say goodbye to email

Migrate safe away from email

With the mobile phone now becoming the standard human interface for information and communication services it is time to stop using email. There is enough information on the web to find out why. Here is an example:

https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/can-email-ever-be-secure/

What are the alternatives?

For now, we see is only one alternative: https://www.signal.org/ in combination with document share services and document send services like Dropbox, iCloud, Google-drive and so on.

We will have the following text under our emails in the future.

Because email is an old and insecure first generation internet protocol we will in time stop to use email. If you want to contact us and are not known with us, you can use the web contact form. If you are known with us you can use our signal account to chat, or we share an exchange environment.

Brussels could do a better job

Abstract Legal systems should enable good public services, not just complicate things. We (the people) don't really need governments, we need good public services. These days, too little is done to ensure a level playing field for companies on a global scale. Enabling big companies to lock buyers into their influence sphere and squeeze as much as possible money out of them. Below three examples where our public services fail. Selling hardware with preinstalled OS should be illegal If a consumer buys a smartphone or a personal computer, it is always sold with an operating system preinstalled. This fixes the consumer into the commercial influence sphere of the hardware seller. Apparently, the Brussels bureaucracy is not really interested in a plane playing field that enables European suppliers to participate in the smartphone and desktop computing market. Would Brussels really be interested in a plane playing field, it would not be allowed to sell end-user devices (smartphones and pe...

The end of Windows is underway

Thanks to the virtual machine (VM) revolution, slowly but surely UX (unix like) operating systems are becoming the defacto industry standard. All Apple OS-es are UX based. Android is UX based. All internet is UX based. The whole Linux family of OS-es are UX based. The only remaining exception is Windows. The virtual machine revolution and cloud based (UX) computing is nail in the coffin for Windows however. Now Google acquired Cameyo and with that brings Windows apps to ChromeOS. It is only a matter of time and all the functionality only available on Windows will be available as a SaaS or ( first in VM mode) on Linux. All companies (for example SolidWorks ) start to offer SaaS, forced by the market. They feel the pressure of OnShape . Most development work is already done on Linux based machines. Windows is also becoming legacy because there is extra cost involved to make apps for Windows compatible with the newest generation of hardware (linke Tablets). This is...

Better laptop keyboard by Google than by Apple.

Apple was on the forefront of human interfacing. Not only technical but also emotional. The better feel of Apple products! In one area, however, they missed the boat. The keyboard! Google with their Chromebooks are catching up on the feel and user experience. Their keyboard experience is even better than the MacBook experience. Just take a look at the keys left of the space bar on a MacBook and the ChromeBook. MacBook ChromeBook Apple needs 4 keys! Google only 2! Industry standard knows the Control and Alt key. But Apple has the strange legacy from the early days of Apple computing called the Command key. Apple wake up! Linux has become the industry standard (not knowing the Command key concept). Much more user would switch from Windows to macOS if they were not hindered by the stupid Apple keyboard legacy. Google makes the switch experience smooth. Apple makes it hard. Guess who will win?
