There were some really good. Nokia Symbian phones and some not so good ones. An issue back then was that not all apps were available for all phones. They would probably have fixed this if it hadn’t been for Elop killing them.
I’m guessing this varies between countries. The thing is where I live, they don’t always show up in time and if they show up, you have to pay anyway
Sorry, that was autocorrect. Fixed now
The problem with traditional taxis is that after booking them, you have no indication of when they will show up and along the way, you mostly have no information about the cost. Same thing if you get a taxi on the street without pre booking. You have no idea of the resulting price.
Bolt is Estonian. Their app lets you order and pay for taxis, e-bikes and probably scooters as well. I use them regularly.
I started using paper again this year after many years with only digital notes. It helps me think.
We have move most of our processing jobs from AWS to Hetzner. We use Cloudfleet as control plane so we will even be spreading our workloads across multiple European providers. About to move some of our long term S3 storage to Scaleway. Not only is it safer, we are saving a ridiculous amount of money.
