The Deventer stop is not there primarily for locals in Deventer. It's there to service the entire eastern half of the Netherlands. Scrapping it would mean those in e.g. Groningen would first have to travel for 3h to Amsterdam.

There's various glacier tiers. Something like Glacier Flexible has retrieval times in minutes, while still having a per-GB cost that is 6x cheaper than regular S3.

My current phone doesn't have a headphone jack, but if it did I would every day. Still use wired every day on laptop and pc.

I'm a backend dev. I needed basically a single js function for my personal website that called out to some NPM package. I thought: I'll do this the proper modern way, typescript and everything. Result: under 10 lines of code, but 12 config files (and 1.5h of fiddling with ES Modules vs CommonJS).

In hindsight, Pao wasn't so bad after all.

Speaking from a European perspective, with an existing rail network that mostly works: above about 300-400km (200-250 mi), the train starts hemorrhaging passengers to flight. Flight is still massively cheaper. Unless that equation changes, trains will always be an also-available regional/long distance travel mode.

The appeal is: 100% of your family and friends use it. A good fraction of businesses use it for customer service too. Not using it will have you left out of a pretty big chunk of social life.

In the Netherlands: whatsapp. You can't avoid whatsapp here. Telegram is used by a smaller fraction, but it got a bit of a bad rep during the pandemic due to primarily attracting anti-vax rioters.

No one uses iMessage in Europe anyway. I don't know anyone who uses this in any significant capacity.
