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

It’s new

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.

Thanks, I’ll check it out

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.

>The first open successful computer

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

Helm sounds interesting. But is there still no web interface to access your mails from a browser? Unfortunately that would be a no-go for me. Do you know if Helm also works in other countries than the US?

eBlockerOS is a software for Raspberry Pi, which is installed in minutes and turns the small computer into an eBlocker. The eBlocker is then simply connected directly to the router and serves as a gatekeeper to the Internet.

You are wrong about Dieter Rams, he likes Apples Design: "You can count the companies that really take design seriously on ten fingers. Apple is one of them."

In a perfect world, you would be right. But people in publishing houses are really not technology-savvy, most of them can barely use Word. They’ve been using it for 20 years and they will not use something different. I once worked for a magazine where they did not even use Words change tracking, you had to write the changes into the text with a different color, and they didn’t want to hear that this was a stupid workflow.

German Wikipedia says this was done to avoid overheating:

"Since September 1975 the further developed Charkowtschanka-2 was built. One of the most important differences was the external cabin, which also facilitated access to the engine and transmission, which were mounted under a classic engine hood and avoided overheating problems."
