Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming βWow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

I did it.
I'm subscribed to a number of RSS feeds. Very often I simply don't have the time to go through everything that gets posted in a single day. So I delete what is clearly of no interest, but keep the items that have a subject line that's at least interesting enough that I figure I'll want to read later. Then the backlog grows.
And right now, the oldest item in my feed is from October 5th 2021.
Of course I have links to technical articles from other feeds that go way farther than that, which I don't mind...but this particular one is for the BBC's general news feed, so dozens of items get added to it daily, and unlike technical articles, most of the stuff is somewhat time-sensitive, in the sense that the older the article gets, the less likely it is I'm going to find it relevant by the time I decide to read it. Yet I can't help myself but keep these around and accumulate. I'm a bit of a news junkie in that way.
Then every once in a while, I'll take a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon and read through stuff and find out the article count has dropped by something like 3%.
Please send help.

The problem isn't purely that I'm taking so long to read...it's that I rarely go back over those articles to actually read them.

I bought a cheap - Β£3 - USB Bluetooth adapter for my desktop and it's so useful - I can type SMS texts on a full size keyboard and send directly through the phone using Windows Phone Link. Nice.

Both of my laptops and my server machine have bluetooth. I'll have to check this out. Wait, I have an iPhone. Hmm.

I almost exclusively use Whatsapp for that so Whatsapp solved that. It is still useful for some equipment though.

Whatsapp is a Farcebook thing, so I expect them to be datamining every message ...

The sensitivity of what I discuss on the Internet is low... because every single company with an infrastructure does it. I received targeted ads from my phone company when smartphone didn't exist.
So on any kind of communication medium I just talk about bullshit. Oh no, Meta now knows that I do my grocery from the only local supermarket in my hometown - shocking, shocking I say. Ah yes, they saw some OC meme and some blasphemy, heh, ok.

I tried to use the Windows Phone Link last week and found the app to be garbage...or maybe it's my devices. Even with the phone sitting on top of the tower it still shows as Offline in the app. Right now, the phone is a mere 3 feet away from the tower and it's Offline in the app! Intermittently, it will show Connected but even then, my messages, phone calls, photos do not show up.
It also has the annoying behavior of randomly switching off the speakerphone on my cellphone while on a call. I have to disable Bluetooth to make it stop.

Yep - I was receiving and sending texts to my boss yesterday afternoon via the My Phone app on my Windows 11 machine.

If you have a Bluetooth keyboard, you can pair it directly to your phone or tablet.
A lot easier and more portable. Handy for chat/messaging storms like coordinating a small group meetup.

My Logitech Bluetooth keyboard has buttons 1 / 2 / 3: When I push '1', the keyboard input goes to my desktop, '2' sends it to my portable, '3' to my phone. The PC may be turned off while I write SMS-es: it is not at all involved. No transfer required, the keystrokes are already in place on the phone.
The 'Craft Advanced Keyboard' is definitely not the cheapest one in the marketplace, but I have never been more satisfied with a keyboard over a long time of use.
