I migrated all my notes to Joplin (including importing Evernote and OneNote) and have been using it for awhile but performance is it's biggest issue. (1) Importing notes takes forever, I'm talking hours, even if you're pointi

This saved my butt when I lost my mouse dongle and only had an Ubuntu instance available at the time. I was able to pair my mouse to the same dongle my keyboard used and have been using the software ever since without issue. Thank you!

When I was shopping around for EVs at the time the Bolt was actually more efficient miles/kwh than a Tesla. Factoring that into the total cost of ownership further widened the price between them.

I haven’t used WhatsApp for while so maybe I’m wrong about that one, but Messenger definitely doesn’t work. I wish it was opt in by default for all notifications, it’s annoying so many don’t work.

Do they mention CarPlay? It drives me crazy that it only integrates notifications with Apple first party apps. It will send me notifications for iMessage or Apple calendar, but completely silences and hides Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Goo

Samsung CRG9 (previous sale at Costco for $749, currently $849) connected through HP USB-C Dock G5 (models are confusing, exact one I bought was https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RGC9QSL/ ). I'm using

I feel like I accidentally discovered a huge hack for this by upgrading to a 49" DQHD monitor. It's the exact same resolution as two 27" 1440p monitors so it's like any Apple silicon chip has always supported dual extern

I consider M1 as already supporting two external displays if you're using a 49" DQHD monitor. :) Mine (Samsung CRG9) is the exact same resolution as two 27" 1440p monitors. Highly recommend, after switching and getting used t

I was there during that time too, drove me crazy when they announced that change. Pay wasn't competitive and now you're messing with our retirement? I'm sure someone in finance got rewarded for making it sound like benefits w

I'm in the same boat but GM converted me with the Bolt instead, driving experience and build quality really surprised me. Although, this announcement has completely killed what little brand loyalty the Bolt had began to kindle.

Also why are they even encouraging password sharing? Spotify family plan model makes much more sense, each member of the family plan has their own account with separate login. No more risks of oversharing the password or wondering who chang

I understand not supporting Linux but they don't even have a web version which is a deal breaker for me.

I'm confused by the laptop setup picture. Does he type on the laptop while it's on the stand? Not ergonomic for me, my hands would get tired too fast and that angle would trigger carpal tunnel. Is there an external keyboard everyw

I really liked Dark Reader at first but over time I ran into too many edge cases and bad themes across the web where I felt like the time tweaking sites wasn't worth the effort any more. I had to turn it off for so many sites I eventua

I used OneNote in school and really liked it but no native Linux support is a deal breaker. The web client is far too slow and frustrating to use on a daily basis.

I really enjoyed using OneNote on Windows or Mac but no native Linux client turned out to be a deal breaker for me. Web app is sluggish and limited, then using it through Wine was pretty buggy. I finally gave up and switched to a platform a

RedReader isn't bad either. UI looks a little more dated compared to Infinity but it's been around awhile, stable, and still getting updates.
