I'm on wet sticky packed Northern line train at rush hour, heading to the City on a Thursday morning. I'm already questioning all the choices that led me here.
Then I look up and see this and question my fundamental understanding of the English language.

Whilst I'd like to blame the fragility and ineptitude of USB micro ports for this BlackBerry 8900 Curve not turning on, I have remembered what actually happened.
I tried to install the Yammer app on it circa 2010 (pre-Microsoft ownership) and it became instantly, permanently bricked. 🪦

Bought at Cash Converters for £20 in the late 2000s, this phone is "For Engineering Use Only" so
in retrospect, it's probably a stolen BlackBerry 8820.
Judging by the date, it thinks it's 2007. And I've no idea what the password might be.

The back, for those who may be interested.
I should probably send them off to be recycled. I enjoyed taking the BlackBerry 8320 apart (not pictured), but there's probably not a lot I can do with the more modern phones.

I pulled out my history of mobile phones last night.
None of those using USB micro charging show signs of life. However, these older phones will turn on:
- USB mini-B charging (BlackBerry)
- Proprietary Samsung charger (SGH G600)
I still miss a good integrated hardware keyboard.

If a Hotel website caps my password length at 15 characters and politely requests that I do not use special characters, should I just avoid them on principle?

These were my most recent gateway back into it... Desperately lacking in range, and black keys.
And whilst I enjoy Garage Band on my 12" iPad, I too suffer from fat fingers. Plus, it loses something with the absence of the physical response to touch of the keys!

My apologies to FluentUI for Blazor.
Part of my frustration at them is actually a fundamental frustration with the underlying HTML date input.
Behold, values using '/' are not appropriately parsed.
Values using "-" are parsed and displayed with "/".

Far more usable on mobile, even if the layout is lacking.
Basic interactions like escaping out of the calendar and navigation by keyboard probably come under the "not fully compatible with accessibility" disclaimer.
I see no reason to use this over a standard html input at the moment.

DateTime pickers are beastly.
Temporality as a whole is a nightmare.
FluentUI for Blazor docs go further: when you type a / into the picker, naturally what you want is to enter a search command.
It displays as dd/mm/yyyy but certain cases expect dd-mm-yyyy input. Others expect nothing. Naturally.
