I remember spending a summer holiday on an island with limited internet connectivity and, back then, a limited data plan where everything above 1 MB data transfer per month became quite costly. And at that time, there were extra charges to pay if you dared to use your phone and mobile internet outside of your home country.
Near the beach bar, I saw a poster announcing a live concert by some local singer and wanted to check their website to see if there were any upcoming gigs around our place. The musician's website featured their current music video which started to play automatically. Soon, the music stopped. And so did my data plan.
Never went to see the artists (not due to the website, but probably didn't fancy their music) but I still remember the story!
Accessibility First DevRel. I focus on ensuring content created, events held and company assets are as accessible as possible, for as many people as possible.
not sure ;-) either Sardegna or Corsica, one of them was where my data plan ran out, the other one where I was offline 2 weeks on purpose ... some years ago obviously

Obviously, we all know it is impossible to be offline for 2 hours nowadays never mind 2 whole weeks! 🤣
