  • Unless you are in India.
    Their customer service apparently drove a relative of mine to Apple.

    Also some of the cheaper Nokia ones have a great number of problems:

    • SIM card not detected after Restart
    • Some bad sensor causing Google Maps to show you facing the wrong direction.
      Alright, it’s just 2, but happens enough to make me regret.

    Some high end model had its LCD liquidate somehow, without a visible crack and was not covered in warranty.

    How about that.

    I’m pretty sure that’s an example of why you should use the chosen ones instead of going “mancy/nancy” all over the place.

    Also, didn’t they just make a standard for themselves and other just took it because it was probably easier than making one for their own language (oh right, NATO… but let’s be honest here, NATO is just a forum for America to flaunt its power while PR-ing peaceful, so it makes sense they use English, which is also easier to be a second language than most other ones).
    Though I feel like China might have made their own.

    The radio words were chosen to be distinct, such that for people who trained in them, it would be easier to distinguish letters being spoken over low quality radio.

    Not very relevant in the era of 2G HD audio, and now VoLTE.
    But when there’s a bad signal and you have to tell someone a callsign, it makes sense.


    I like ISO, because in whatever cases I have interacted with it, it has made programming easier for me.

    I like YYYY-MM-DD, because when files lose their metadata, if they are named using this, I can still sort by name and get results by date.

    Set a key as a modifier key and program the character provider function in your text editor to to give the corresponding capital letter of whatever key is pressed, in case the modifier key is down.
    Even better, you can use the same modifier key with number keys and other symbol keys to give an alternative symbol, which you could also indicate on the keyboard.
