Seconding Zotero. I truly don’t know how I would be able to keep track of all the research I read through and reference. I especially love that I can highlight passages and attach notes to each entry right inside the desktop app.
The browser connector is also super handy for quickly adding papers to read-through at a later date.
Some of us don’t really have that luxury. For example, I don’t choose who I need to communicate with for work purposes.
Most professions where action/inaction can result in damages will have similar insurance. Some insurance firms even specialize in coverage for professionals.
If your profession has an association or similar group, they should be able to help you find those firms if they exist.
I switched over to TickTick when Todoist suddenly changed their pricing model a few years ago. I don’t remember the specifics of what happened but I remember being very frustrated with the sudden changes as it would’ve required me to change my whole system.
I’ve been very happy with TickTick since then and would strongly recommend OP checks it out to see if it fits their needs.
Highly recommend cases by Fractal.
For self hosting I’d recommend either one of the Meshify 2 or Define 7, depending on local price and your specific needs. I personally went with the Meshify 2 XL and was blown away by the quality of the case. It’s built well and allows for a variety of configurations. It also makes maintenance very easy as the filters and side panels can all be removed without any tool to handle dust build up.
Seconding the recommendation for FreshRSS, it’s the one I ended up hosting when I looked into this a while back and it’s been really great. Takes a minute to get everything setup, especially if you want to have different settings for different types of feeds, but once it’s all set it’s perfect (for my needs at least).
I’ve also got it setup with my domain so I can access the feed from anywhere and that’s been one of my favourite features.
As much as I love the projects I’m able to make with my Cricut, I know I won’t be getting another one when it eventually dies. Cricut’s software and approach to the customers is so awful.
Wish I’d heard about Silhouette before getting my machine but I’ve definitely learned my lesson now.
Seems to still be offered, the license allows up to $2000 profit as well instead of $1000 revenue with fusion.
I use it occasionally to try out games on gamepass that I’m not sure I’ll enjoy. I’ll usually play for about 30 minutes to an hour and then decide if I want to install it or just play something else.
I also occasionally use it on my steamdeck but that’s even less often.
I’ve had a Samsung watch for a few years and I’m definitely not careful with it but it has easily put up to all of my abuse and the battery still lasts a couple days or more. Nothing I can really complain about.
Thanks for all your work LJ, it’s clear the value we get from having you be able to dedicate so much time to working on Sync. Love seeing so much improvement to an already great app.
I’m especially happy for the PipedLinkBot feature and profile overview.
Edit: now that the update has shown up on my end and I’ve tried the new features, I’d like to add that I slightly misunderstood what the PipedLinkBot would do, any chance we could have an option for those comments to be collapsed by default instead of hidden?
Not sure what you mean about no autofill on android, it definitely pops up on login fields for me and quickly lets me login with biometrics and then gives me my account. I only ever need to open up the app when I need to force it to sync if I’d just added a login on a different device and it hasn’t synced yet.
You do realize he can charge absolutely any price he wants for a product he created right? He doesn’t have to even offer an ad-supported version, but he’s decided to give the user the choice. If someone wants to use his app for free, they can. And if they don’t agree with his model, they can just not use the app. It’s really not a predatory practice.
I mean, yeah, obviously the dev would rather people pay the subscription when some of the Ultra features require server work and/or continued costs (translation, OCR, etc.).
Developing Sync is his full time job, which is why it initially shipped without a lifetime tier. People voiced their opinion and the dev listened by adding the lifetime option and the ad free option. If you don’t like the pricing, use a different app. Nobody is forcing you to use Sync. LJ doesn’t owe you the app for free (or any price outside of what he feels is fair).
I would normally be inclined to agree but this isn’t one of those “omg I just had the most intelligent conversation with my 4-yo today”.
It’s clearly someone sharing their hobby/job with their niece, and what better way to do that than by including them in a practical aspect. It also literally says they “helped her as she’s 4 years old”.
You commenting is only bringing more attention to the post by increasing the comment count so maybe reevaluate your approach in the future if you’re so against wholesome content.
What brand is that water reservoir/bowl? I haven’t gotten one yet because I don’t like how the ones I’d seen all just look like a cheap plastic box but I really like the look of the one you have.
Adding to that, LJ is also aiming to work on this app full-time so I think that greatly impacted his calculation on what the price points should be. Imo the prices are quite reasonable for what is my most used app outside of messaging/emails.
Pretty sure most of the world pronounces it “four-eva”.
That’s good to know, I never kept up with the issue since I wasn’t impacted when it would occur. I just remember seeing it come up every now and then.
Appreciate the update! I don’t really use discord these days so it’s easy for me to miss that kind of stuff.
As others have pointed out, CloudFlare doesn’t sell .ca domain names due to the ownership restrictions applied by CIRA. I’ve personally used Web Hosting Canada (WHC.ca) for many years, including their hosting for a while. I also have a couple of domains with Register.ca.
I then use DuckDNS for dynamic updates and the free tier of CloudFlare for security certificates and some simple access rules.
