They're (were?) a popular choice in very poor countries due to their reliability. They did used to be built to a higher standard. The story I heard which I have no idea about the truth of, is that competition from lexus coming along i

I don't have a problem with how its written now, their statements on privacy seem to conflict with other statements they make about the future of the product. They seem very ambitious in way that a simple note taking app will not satis

Thanks! I'll start using this for sure. Shame that it may not be integrated any time soon, but this separation looks basically good enough.

Multiple profiles is a great addition, but obviously would be even better if the app did not need to close and re-open. The risk for me is that a thought disappears in the time it takes me to swap profiles, but I think the keyboard shortcut

just jumping on this to say I'm a Joplin user and I love it, thank you for building an awesome app. I currently also use notion because of Joplin's lack of note sharing on mobile; if good note sharing came to the Joplin mobile app

I looked at logseq as an alternative to joplin but there were too many little flags that suggested to me that privacy and being free might not be forever. I don't have a problem with paying for software, but I don't like getting e

there are many knipex pliers which is why the other poster is confused. I presume the ones you refer to are the "pliers wrench" that someone had linked to above: https://www.knipex.com/products/pipe-wrenches-a

I see this argument all the time, and while it is not wrong, for most people I think it is bad advice in the context of carbs because people don't understand it properly and even if they do, it is basically impossible to get truly whol

totally agree. In fact the consumer advocacy is probably more of why I stay subscribed than the reviews :)

The sites I've found to be at least making an honest evaluation are: choice.com.au (Australian context, Aus version of consumer reports) Their reviews just seem to miss the mark sometimes, but at least you can count on the fact its an

I was a TPG refugee who switched to Aussie. TPG had the same setup and it always showed me that I was getting the full speed I payed for, but whenever my traffic went overseas, measured some other way, it would be shockingly slow (like sub

I'm told there is a lot that is good about teams for collaboration, but our company does not use exchange, so despite paying for teams I am unable to schedule meetings. Do they really not care about the entire market for people who do

I think you're taking a definition of 'worked on' that I did not intend. I meant it in a general sense intending to include large or disruptive changes where necessary.

the craziest thing about this whole saga is that a skilled politician might have been able to nip this in the bud and improve america by guiding people on both sides to a solution that works for both. The cops are not systematically murderi

They are worse than they used to be, but the bar is so low in the market that they are still among the best. My gripes are entirely with reliability. I have had many issues with mine (Carbon X1 G6, then G7), all due to bad firmware, which l

Define "work". Countries that pursued zero covid largely avoided hospital overcrowding and massive amounts of preventable death. It might never have been possible to actually zero covid out to extinction, but it was possible to be

Japan is a net importer of food and probably could not feed its population if it had to. We can't all be net importers of food. Australia's problem is water. Our rivers are already environmental disasters because agriculture belli

land mass =/= habitable land mass. Help me understand your view because I simply cannot fathom how you must think to want 500M people in Australia. Have you traveled? Do you want to live the way people live in overcrowded countries? Do

Maybe my position can be clarified a bit better: We both want to minimize this problem and stop it from happening. My argument is not that we should ignore the problem, my argument is that banning these things is not the most effective solu

They might be voting you down because it looks like you may not have read my entire reply. I specifically noted the caveat of endangered species and a Dr. Title being used by people who should not use it as situations that probably justify

yes this is true and a good point. It is hard to account for active disinformation campaigns. I think it is generally safe to assume they won't be as extreme as those for ivermectin in most cases. One counterpoint is that not banning t

I used to have a similar outlook, but I have moderated it in recent years. These things should be regulated, but not banned. You should have hardcore warnings on them (like on aus cigarrettes for example) that state clearly that studies hav

I'll admit up front I haven't done the math on this MBP, but are the prices really so bad on a laptop$$/year basis? If you look at a feature comparison, sure, macs have always looked like a bad deal, but that evaporates when

I don't but you can buy breath or urine analysis devices/kits that will tell you if you are producing high levels of ketones so you could see for yourself.

I'm in agreement that facebook is partly what you make it and experiences vary. My own experience has been generally positive; However I was a member of a niche interest group that used to be run on an old-school forum at its own domai
