Ethernet hardware manufacturers have definitely dropped the ball on the audio front. A bit of a chore I have considered doing is soldering transistors to the LEDs on my router so I can sonify the indicators.

Reminds me of this snippet of telephone conversation between myself and my brother several years ago (not verbatim, obviously):

Me: Pretty crisp these days. Leaves are turning earlier than expected.
My brother: Awesome. Look, I’ve got thirty minutes and it’s been a month since we last spoke. Stop talking about the weather. Tell me about what’s going on in your life.

He’s like this with pretty much everyone. I have much to learn from him.

TBH, I’ve used the auto-reply feature in Goog’s Inbox to respond to emails from people on this board.

@japhroaig you have my most sincere deep-dish olive-topped pizza-esque apology.

Actually it’s about repressing emotions. I’m very ebullient. Allo helped with the last bit based on my previous history of correspondence.

I have a company cell phone (because my employers eventually realized I’m not going to get one of my own) that runs Windows. It’s pretty great for $65.

It suggests words for me when I’m texting, based on prior use frequency I guess. So it only takes 4 taps to text someone “I’m on my way”. Great timesaver for me.

But does it put stupid animation effects and ‘stickers’ all over the conversations?

I was so proud when my Windows phone learned my patterns of profanity. I suppose that might be a liability for those with friends who tut-tut such wording.
