I’m wondering the same thing, I’m not sure what the purpose of each is?

This. Or quora or pinterest or twitter/x or etc etc I can outright block domains or just adjust their weight. Great for my personal prefs but also huge with the family account and helping keep the BS out of sight for the kids without

Same with some of the older Wowee stuff, Robosapien, Roboraptor, etc. In-box ones are expensive as collectors items, but you can grab ones that are missing the remote for cheap and then it’s a fun project to reverse engineer the IR signals

As a paid product, has anyone used Raindrop as well and have opinions/comparisons? And on the self hosted side, vs Hoarder? I’ve been considering switching from Raindrop to a self hosted option, but while I like self hosting I’m also

These days yeah, lots of home automation gizmos for instance like the SwitchBot line. Plus it wouldn’t take nearly the amount of engineering know-how it once did to rig up something with an Arduino and a little hobby motor, probably like a

So far it seems to be the same for me. It seems like an odd way to name/announce it, there's nothing obvious to distinguish it from what was already there (i.e. 4o making images) so I have no idea if there is a UI change to look f

I backed this on Kickstarter mostly out of long time nostalgia for the Iconfactory as a Mac user in the 90s. It’s really nicely designed but I don’t see it replacing Inoreader for my feed consumption.

Big RSS user. Loved Google Reader till it shut down, then switched to Feedly which I liked well enough, but it keeps cramming in business features I don’t need. Switched to Inoreader last year and have loved it. Writing this comment in its

It’s very similar, but the big difference is that canvas lets you select a specific line/paragraph/word/etc and “talk” to just that selection. On the flipside, it only shows formatted text, it won’t render anything if you’re

I had the beta as well and have been using it quite a bit. I like the concept a lot. This is exactly how I want to be using AI for writing purposes. Overall, it’s whatever content I want to write in, but then I can ask it, “Hey, help me imp
