Fortunately, there are many physical buttons. In the video, you can see that their functions vary depending on what is displayed on the screen. I think this is a brilliant solution that combines the best of the physical and virtual worlds.

Thanks for this tip, looks much better than the electron app from Fastmail.

Is this a serious source?

I teached myself Basic on our C64 when I was 11 with a manual my father had. A year later we had a few hours of introduction to programming in our math class. When I read the first very abstract lesson, I thought: My god, this so hard, it’s so difficult to understand. But when I saw the code examples on the next page I had to laugh, because they very incredibly simple. It’s just the way the math book talked about them was too abstract for me. I then got for the First Time the idea: Could it be that all the other math I have problems with could be much easier if it was explained differently to me?

There are much cheaper alternatives to Ente. Filen.io, which is also E2E encrypted, for example costs 200 GB montly for 1.99 Euro. Its difficult to compete with iCloud if your service costs three times as much.

I’m looking exactly for something like that. But 2.99 Euro a month is too expensive, when even Apple only wants 99 cents.

The books from taschen are usually pretty, with very shallow texts, most of them sound like PR pieces

I wrote my novel with scrivener, and while it sometimes tries to do too much, I love it. Coming from word it was a game changer for me, being able to write in any order you want and organize your scenes in the binder. Snapshots are also really good and helpful. And the corkboard has become essential for me.

Scrivener could cut some options it doesn’t do very good like publishing, that would streamline it. And syncing could be much better. But overall it’s one of the rare tools, that changed the way I work for the better.

Strange comparison. Scrivener is for writing books, Vellum for publishing, even if scrivener has a publish option. But they rather complement each other. Scrivener is incredible value for money.

DEVONthink is very fast and powerful, a native App for Mac and iOS, no subscription, but rather expensive. Syncing is not perfect, you can use Dropbox or iCloud, but search is very powerful. https://www.devontechnologies.com/apps/devonthink

This is the same use case I have, I use Evernote notably because of the excellent web scraper. Can you share more about your software?

I second that. Carrd looks better, has more templates and the support is awesome. And much cheaper. Have been using it for years, and can strongly recommend it for simple sites. Not affiliated with them.

I can very well imagine that Apple will offer this service only for the Pro models for the time being. Apple has been trying to differentiate the expensive Pro models from the normal iPhones for some time now. And perhaps you only get if for free with iCloud+

No, the document states, that she gets 5000$/hr: “for two Four hour sessions at the rate of 5.000.00 per hour for q a total of 40.000$“

Same here. But fortunately the web clipper in DevonThink is not very good, and with the annoying cookie pop-ups it’s hit or miss if websites will be archived properly. I wish DT would work on this, but they seem to treat the web clipper as an afterthought.

I love the C64, but the first was probably the Apple II

I had a 7710 for a few weeks, interesting concepts, but half-baked implementation and so slow you couldn’t really use it. Gave it back. It was more of a strange tech demo, than a usable phone. You can’t compare it to the iPhone.

Your software just copies what others have written. This is q tool to create blog spam, this makes the web worse and punishes people who create original content, that you just copy
