I don't think most people realize that. The iPhone mini was essentially a category on it's own (iPhone mini 13: 131.5 x 64.2 x 7.65 mm)
Now, I hate subscriptions as much as the next person, but I can’t leave this blog without feeling that the op is a bit entitled.
For what it matters, my opinion is that GoodNotes is doing everything correctly. If you bought a 5 lifetime, you can still use it. It’s the same app (that’s interesting, there is a toggle to go between 5 and 6) so I’m assuming it’s still getting bug fixes for new os releases and similar. 5 was a free update to 4, and 6 was released in 2023 (!) so that license was good for a while. They offer discounts if you bought 5, so op point of it being cheaper on a subscription might be wrong. And according to their website they still offer lifetime licenses for 6, bar the AI stuff (which is probably an ongoing cost for them? No idea if it’s local or not).
Plenty of scammy apps and it would be nice to go back to owning things, but this is the same experience if not better to when you could buy software on a cd and keep it a couple decades ago.
If you're talking about B12, they use Cyanocobalamin which is produced by bacterias - Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanocobalamin#Production.
Unless they are trying to appeal to Australian fan, my money on the real reason is that they wanted the glamour of a night race in Vegas.
Personally I do try to limit the amount of them I run, stick with recommended and take at least a glance at the source from time to time, but it would not defend against version updates or good efforts to obfuscate bad code. I do feel at least somewhat confident that for recommended extensions with substantial usage the internet would surface funny business quite quickly.
But yes, I would love for some independent third party to have some review program! Unfortunately it's not clear how it would be funded.

(iv) Access [...] Where possible, provide alternative solutions for users who don’t grant consent. For example, if a user declines to share Location, offer the ability to manually enter an address.
(v) Account Sign-In: If your app doesn’t include significant account-based features, let people use it without a login [...]It's interesting because I don't tend to get addicted to things. I've never tried hard drugs, but I can quit coffee cold-turkey (and have done, several times. Just because I was feeling like switching to tea or oat milk in the morning) and never really got into weed.
(anyway, stopped drinking a couple months ago. Alcohol free beer is great for that to be honest. I do miss a nice whiskey from time to time. Let's see if I keep it up)
I don't know, maybe I'm just a old person yelling at clouds, but I just find it crazy to use AI for learning anything. Maybe one day.
On the topic, you can also integrate tmux with the native clipboard - I have set copy-pipe to the remote pbcopy, so any selection done in tmux get copied to my local clipboard. I also just found out that tmux also support it natively (https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/Clipboard#the-set-clipboar...).

One "trick" is that Firefox (and I assume Chrome?) allow you to copy a request as curl - then you can just see if that works in the terminal, and if it does you can binary search for the required headers.In my experience phisical separation is the best for when you don't want to use your phone (for example, when going to bed or if you want to focus on discussions when having lunch) but that is not always possible - then apps like one sec or other tricks like setting your phone to gray scale, moving icons around, focus mode, screen time... All serve to nudge your brain into thinking if you really want to waste time.
For making better use of your time... Eh. Everyone struggles differently of course, but I'm unlikely to go out and run, or do focus work, when I would waste 30 minutes scrolling through Instagram. But if you make sure to have better alternatives (reading a curated feed, listening to a audiobook/podcast) then they can nudge you that way. Finding a better alternative is entirely up to you. I do find that writing down things you want to do, no matter how silly it sounds ("of course I want to read more books!") helps, especially as you can always reference to that list later when you're bored.
Where and how are you getting the ~1000 news articles you feed to GPT4? I think it would go a long way for transparency to list that somewhere on the website. Also, are you using international news agencies? Quite a lot of them publish an English feed too.
I would also love to see the difference it would make given a different geographical prompt ("in the context of China/India/Asia/Europe... How would you are this article") and political ideology prompt ("how would you rate this article for a Republican/Democrat/Libertarian/Socialist...")
What that article is saying (rightfully, mind you) is that an attacker can mostly ignore the server side round of encryption, because if they have a copy of your local vault, they can just perform the client side rounds and then see if they can decrypt the vault.
This is a problem mostly if you see their claims of 100000 rounds server side, and decide "oh that's fast enough, I'll drop the client side rounds to 5 so my vault is fast to open)"
