  • That won’t solve the software side. My previous phone was still working, but then Google fucked up the software. The first because it required some new ssl standard for all connections that the phone didn’t support.

And then there where some apps that would not run because my os was to old.

    We already had something similar with RSS, where you subscribe to your favorite blogs and forums, and the RSS reader on your computer would tell you which sites have new posts, so you don’t need to scan all of them each day. For some reason people stopped using RSS, and instead published their stuff (or notifications about new posts) on Facebook, twitter etc.

    The same system could be adapted for (grocery-) price lists. However the big brands would never do that, because then it would be very easy to discover which products suddenly got more expensive.


    • Low rent means no money for maintenance
    • the elevators where frequently out of order or vandalized
    • instead of a private washing machine you would have a number of them in the basement (maybe 1 for every 5 flats?), and a week plan with timeslots when you can use them. This is nice as long as all machines are working, but the same problem as with elevators applies here.
    • it’s not a quiet place, you could always hear people going up and down the stairs. The light switch Relais in the cabinet on each level always made a very loud “clunk” when someone turned on the lights…
