   It looks great, but as much as I like mac-native apps, I use Mac for work, and Linux at home. TablePlus is cross platform, and much better for my needs.

   If your free tier customers are costing you a lot of money, you're going it wrong.

   Isn't that basically what happened to Skype? Microsoft paid $8.5B for Skype when it was on top of the world, and now I don't know a single person who uses it.

   I got lucky and got a 6800 from AMD.com (wanted the 6800XT). It was pretty sucky that AMD said they'd have a lot of supply, and then didn't.

   I thought the Radeon 6800 was a pretty good launch. Didn't it hold up with Nvidia in most benchmarks except RT?

   interesting. I hadn't considered AMD doing this due to Intel 12th gen. If true, that's a sign that AMD isn't doing this to help customers, but to hurt intel

   Is this a sign zen4 is delayed? I get they need new motherboards and socket, and DDR5 etc.., but launching zen3 stuff now is strange. A lot of us already upgraded.

   I get it's good, but what took them so long? Wouldn't many people who had 300 series motherboards already have upgraded? They were stuck for 18 months without a path forward.

   I don't really understand DigitalOcean's market here. They're obviously. not going after the main cloud players, but it seems strange that they're targeting consumers directly. They spent a lot of time/money crowdso

    Good take. This made me thing of all the GOogle failures in a different light. It isn't just that they abandon users. They also crush competitors in the initial phase (by being free, or generally having Google branding), only to pull t

    I've always preferred to build my own computers. It's fun, and you can customize, and with few exceptions, it meant better performance/acoustics/thermals than what you could buy directly from PC manufacturers. Now though

    M1 Ultra is incredible. Just watch intel come out with a 500 watt CPU and then say "see, we beat the M1 Ultra"

    You can use DuckDNS through DNSOMatic. That's in many routers. That's what I do

    I currently sync with FolderSync on Android. That syncs a Google Drive or Dropbox folder to your phone. Then use that folder with Obsidian

    but both of them store notes in a proprietary way, so if they shut down (or I just wanted to move), wouldn't it be harder to migrate off?

    I've been using Hugo for several years. But I'm mostly using freely available templates with minimal changes. Though some of those changes do require a lot of trial and error due to the lacking documentation. Is the competition be

    I'd never heard of fsnot.es. It looks great. I bought Ulysses ages ago on Mac because I wanted a performant, native-app markdown app that supported external folders. Unfortunately, shortly after purchasing it Ulysses went subscription

    It's just unfortunate that the proprietary apps have IMHO much nicer UI/UX. Why can't we have both! On Mac I use Ulysses. I get the benefits described here while still having a fast, native app with excellent UX. I have Mac f

    Does anyone care about this after the Analogue Pocket and the Steam Deck have launched (I get my Steam Deck next week). I get they're different devices, but I feel the Playdate had a bunch of hype, and then took way too long to ship,

    I think this is great. I've worked at several places that say 'we pay at the market rate', and it's very hard to verify. It leads to gossip, or interviewing and getting offers etc.. This should make it easy. If you work

    I think it's an all or nothing thing. Company-1 wouldn't mind doing it, but only if company-2 does it also.

    So your team is the perfect candidate for the paid version, and doesn't see the value. I agree with others that Postman created limitations just to justify a paid version. Those types of services/apps rarely succeed.

    Skimmed. I was hoping to read a deeper question about Intel's power consumption. I keep seeing benchmarks showing Intel's massive gains with the 12th gen that avoid talking about power. It's not that hard to match or exceed a

    That's a good point. I guess I do get annoyed when there are epic exclusive games.

    Exactly. I choose to use Steam because it's good. If you have an iPhone, you don't choose the AppStore. You're stuck with it.

    I get the need to have both a free, and a paid version, but email with only 90 days of history is not a viable free tier. This isn't slack, this is email. I'd love to try it, but it can't work even in the simplest way for me

    I feel AT is great for enthusiasts. I want them to become more mainstream, as their reviews are so much better than generic tech sites, but they need a better balance. They sometimes release iPhone, Galaxy or Pixel reviews weeks or even mon
