This includes the impending sunset of Windows 10, which I\u2019m sad to see go, especially after I already decided to wipe one of my last Windows 10 devices and install Ubuntu Linux on it. As usual, I had a few \u201cmini-rants,\u201d chief among them being the stability issues I&#8217;m experiencing after the latest iOS and watchOS updates. I&#8217;m seeing really bad battery life on my phone and, worse, my AirPods Pro 3 and Powerbeats Pro 2 have become unstable, giving me static or losing audio entirely. I also finally figured out why my Raspberry Pis won\u2019t power up with my nice GaN chargers\u2014they only deliver 3 amps, but the Pi requires 5 amps, a specification I am disappointed I did not check years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We wrapped up with our ongoing segment on favorite and least-favorite Windows CE and Windows Mobile devices. While Jon and I have our preferences, Don surprised us by naming the non-touch Windows Mobile smartphone, the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/HTC_Excalibur\">HTC Excalibur (T-Mobile Dash)<\/a>, as his favorite, largely due to its pocketability and durability. I had to point out that the Dash was one of the few phones that fit perfectly in the notoriously tiny chest pockets of my aloha shirts back in the day. His least favorite was the Palm Treo, which he found heavy and clunky. The conversation naturally led us to Windows Phone, and I reiterated my belief that it ultimately failed because the essential daily tools didn&#8217;t migrate from Windows Mobile 6 to Windows Phone 7, which was a &#8220;humongous problem&#8221; for developers and users alike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/notebooklm.google.com\/notebook\/f06e13b5-3783-4d96-98c4-808b15889fe3\">Jon shared a Google NotebookLM\u00a0 audio summary of his amazing weight loss journey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jon&#8217;s <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/jonwestfall\/docker-migrator\">Portainer for managing stacks &amp; containers<\/a>, and my latest ChatGPT generated tool for moving Docker data volumes from machine to machine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Jon noted a script tool, <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/LukeSmithxyz\/emailwiz\">emailwiz<\/a>, t<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hat takes a stock Debian 12 VPS to a fully functioning mail server that won\u2019t get flagged \/ rejected as spam<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Available via <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/mobileviews.com-podcast\/id301171904?mt=2\">Apple iTunes<\/a>.<br \/>\n<a href=\"\u201chttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@ToddOgasawara\/podcasts\u201d\">MobileViews YouTube Podcasts channel <\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"\u201chttps:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd\/MobileViewscom-Podcast-Podcast\/B08K565TQS?qid=1640555789&amp;sr=1-1&amp;ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&amp;pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&amp;pf_rd_r=TXEJVWB2VW471GJ9XQQ0\u201d&lt;\/a\">MobileViews Podcast on Audible.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, Jon Westfall and I are joined by our good friend, Don Sorcinelli, for MobileViews 582, where we had a lot to cover, particularly about saying farewell to things.
