       @mjg59 My working theory at the time was still that Elop did exactly what he was paid for by Microsoft, in blatant disregard of his fiduciary duty to the Nokia shareholders, which were disproportionately pension funds,  IIRC.So, although everyone with some technical insight knew this was likely a takeover by Microsoft, with dire consequences for Nokia,  they appointed the fox as the head hen keeper.

       @mjg59 By the time Elop was their best bet? Tough choices only after long history of really brain-dead internal structuring following a misled tenant of "internal competition." Three departments that acted like that scene in Monty Python - hating each other more than the competitors in the market.Would have required some hard restructuring, and focused management.I had the N9 myself. Great phone, and IIRC it would have been possible to run Android apps. That might have built a bridge.

       Happy "being invisible when things work perfectly, and being screamed at when things go wrong" day, everyone!

       @mjg59 Classic "Drop onto train hammered to the point of having lost all sense of time, hope you've sobered up enough to wake up and get out at your stop" design. 😉

       So, it seems like the United States now also has its #Brexit moment. Turns out that 1989 was a rope-a-dope, and in 2024, Russia is finally winning the cold war.Still remember the excitement of going to the US in the 90s, the light and air seemed different. Then, a shadow started falling, there was a rotten smell from the early tea party that made me reconsider and give back my green card. Now, I'm a truly happy and passionate Swiss citizen.Never have I been more sure I made the right call.
