Is there an app or website that allows me to review restaurants or add notes offline? I recently moved and want an easy way to remember good restaurants etc, but don't want my entire movements sold to best buyer.

I have both Förnuftig (meaning sensible, great name) and a Coway Storm AP-1516D. I prefer the Coway, but it is much more powerful.

The only issue I have with the Förnuftig is the noise level, even on medium it is too loud for me. Apart from that, it is fine. It isn't as powerful and advanced as the Coway but everyone loves the look of it and asks what it is, and shows their spouses it.

Coway is big, powerful, quite silent but also clunky and in the way.

Often when I click Releases it is completly blank. All our releases are missing. I have to refresh 2-3 times before they show up.

The UI has so far changed five times in the past three months. It is insane. The current iteration is at least fine. Before it was a big blob of round circle that showed that the steps that succeeded succeeded. And then a big text saying it failed. It was worthless.

> I doubt it. The music industry is pretty open these days and has given up on DRM for a long time - you can buy DRM-free, lossless music from countless places and while I understand that purchasing music has become rare, your scenario would be a dealbreaker for anyone that still does and truly owns their music. That might be a small share, but still a significant crowd. It would render the device close to useless for people like me. This is a whole other level compared to the compromise of an adapter.

For how long, until they come up with a new report that shows the margins are decreasing and they new ways to earn money?

What is the point then, why not just include another port or a jack? If I have to carry a done that messes up the audio.

Why do you buy BTC every day? Is it cheaper than just buying once?

It is actually so frustrating that I decided to go with fedora in my latest trial. It changes every time you click a link, so even if you manage to find the correct link, one click and it is back to whatever language you have at top of browser setting.
That is what he did. It is a toggle. It is not a feature to force everyone to go to settings and click a kit more times. It is silly to claim that this is fine.

Amazon is part of the problem, it is not black and white like that.

You must be from the valley if you think that a 1000 phone is economical. That is laughable.
