I wonder if it’s possible to take a car offline or at what point it will become impossible to do so. Because if GM - and others can do this — there’s no doubt that at some point cars could be bricked unless they can phone home.
Hi @rahilb, this sounds very intriguing; but I have a question regarding the In-App Purchases: what do these do? Is the app a trial that eventually requires a subscription or lifetime purchase?
I think what Obsidian with recent changes to their sorage sync fees is actually brilliant. I paid $8/month for 50GB, then they dropped the storage to 10GB. So I’m getting a great deal for the same $8 compared to new users & now they have a very low-grade $4/moonth plan that probably works for a lot of people … maybe even me. But going from 50GB to 1GB for half teh cost has me locked in to an extent.
That said $9/year doesn’t seem crazy for this one feature but I’m reluctant to install this without knowing this in advance. Still surprised Apple doesn’t require these details upfront … but these details aren’t in the app store or site as far as I can tell.
Hi, the free version should be sufficient for most users; once installed and configured it provides:
- syncing of vault tasks to reminders (once every six hours)
- completion of vault tasks in reminders (immediately when the app is running)
- creation of tasks from reminders (also immediate while running)
- manual syncing whenever you want (click a button to sync vault tasks to reminders if you don’t want to wait for the automatic sync)
If you purchase, you get access to the following nice to have features:
- faster sync intervals (I.e. your vault is checked automatically for new tasks up to every minute)
- deletion sync: if you delete a Reminder the associated Task is deleted from the vault (immediately)
- descriptions for Reminders: the reminder description includes the note name from Obsidian; soon this will also include any child elements of the task.
- ability to only sync tasks with a due date
Like I said the free version should still be useful for most people. Once installed there is also a description of premium features on the purchase screen.
I’ll add these to the App Store description; thanks for the feedback!
Done, account deleted, and thank you for the heads up. Genuinely, thankful for that post and maybe the most important social network I’m a part of: Hacker News.
This is a typo right: "macOS dominance declines”? Or clickbait maybe? It doesn’t seem like macOS from its lowest figure mentioned in the article (~15%) to its highest (~21%) dominates. It seems like the room for growth for both Linux & macOS is huge, I like both of these underdogs and wouldn’t bet against either. But why that headline?
In terms of publishing by email … HEY by 37 Signals has a feature where each user has world.hey.com/username blogs based on emails from username@hey.com sent to world@hey.com … very easy low friction publishing. This has subscriptions & RSS built in and you can import subscribers.
Interesting. People with older hardware might not be able to run new software or process data at the same speed or efficiency as people with the latest hardware.
This is great, although I wish the new mobile app they’ve alluded to was a higher priority (but I realize that’s being greedy).
Arc isn’t for everybody but if it “clicks” which requires getting over a somewhat steep learning curve it is great.
It’s also fair to question why it requires an account, but anything syncing across devices would (unless you handle that manually with version control or something else).
Arc is exactly what Chrome might be if it wasn’t beholden to an advertising-first company. The innovation within the Chrome app itself has languished & browser extension development and policy are prohibiting more & more significant user experience changes (not just blockers). Arc not only diverges from Chrome with a ton of nice user experience changes, it also adds new types of functionality like ad hoc browser extensions called Boosts that can be shared (very similar to UserScripts). So many posts that say this browser-based on Chromium is problematic because it constrains diversity in the browser market, but I wish more people would just try it out. It is a step in the direction. Maybe someday they will swap out all of what remains from Chromium, but to what end? Maybe the best thing about Chrome (and Chromium) is that it enables smaller companies to jump-start new concepts in browsing.
Prices just have to be consistent so as long as most scams stay in that price range? But would love to see that rejection: “This scam is underachieving and will be blocked until the price exceeds $300.”
New car. Small car. Expensive car. And, electric car. I don’t think this is entirely an electric vehicle issue. Interest rates and high prices for small cars seems bad enough. If the specs were the same & it was gas even at a slightly lower price; I doubt VWs are hot sellers. I think this might be trust related too. It was smart for VW to pivot from previous fuel sources they gamed, but how much do you trust the specs now that they’re EVs?
