I'm same boat and just want to say please come back. Dont leave your kids to the mercy of Microsoft Apple Google. Their learnings from your trials will help them grow. Be a dad, be a dad that helps your kids push past corporate ownership.
Yeah i have notifications silenced as they are a stupid distraction.
I have a tablet for work that I rarely use so I leave it for the kids to play on. Everytime i look at it there is hundreds of notifications from games they play. How are the kids meant to get anything done if they keep getting interrupted.
Why did you disconnect? Because of location or work or what?
We are in talks to build one for a local power utility. These are cheaper for nice-to-have sensors that aren't critical. Most electricity meters in Victoria use a mesh network provided through silverspring devices to collect usage readings.
I've also heard about a rural water utility using a mesh network to connect water meters together to reduce the number of times an onsite reading is required.
Telcos are already trying to compete with mesh networks by providing low bandwidth LTE-M services that are lower cost for utilities. Nokia are pushing 450connect, 450 alliance, etc as more competitors also.
There are plenty of use cases for low bandwidth systems and services. Isolated network is great when the telcos have pages too.
Trumps companies if you believe him and disregard the 'made in china' sticker
My old note9 did it too. Handy in a pinch and great when I forget my laptop but still wanted to pretend to work at work
Too late
Thank you
