  • There is a huge corporate insensitive that everyone is not realizing here. By screen recording + OCR, there is a possibility to start using this data to replace some labor intensive, but simple tasks of operating a business. If you can create RPA+ML+LLM that can rerun repetitive tasks, you have holy grail on your hands. I think this is one of the big reason why M$ is pushing this.

    I assume to be down voted to oblivion, but I do business automation and integration for living, and at the same time I am scared and excited.







  • Nokia was lead by engineers, which was it’s strength, but eventually also caused it’s downfall. This is why these things were so good.

    Engineers told that the fullscreen displays without keyboard is never as good as physical keyboard.

    Engineers told that 1 day battery life is not enough, the system need to be designed so that it can last a week.

    They were right.

    BUT apple’s marketing and slick design convinced the American market that you can give up on those features. Nokia could easily made the same design, but didn’t because engineers thought that users need those features. When they turned ship and accepted it, apple had its foot between the door already.



  • Nokia should have continued developing the Linux Qt system maemo/meego. I was working with it as subcontractor in Nokia, and it was awesome. The Qt/C++ was really fast to code, and you could basically port KDE apps into it with small effort.

    If they would have continued with it, we could have had three major OS in phones.

    I was leading architect in internal UI design tools, and the tools had features that android/apple toolsets not even now have. Mainly because you could run the Qt app with PC hardware without any emulation.
