There was definitely a period where O3X was behind but Zevo was dying and I couldn't update because of ZFS version conflicts. Lead to some leaps of faith in beta O3X to get up onto it and the community was pretty active. And still more

I think I had basically an identical journey to you, through the same ZFS versions. Zevo was really exciting at the time to have a professional looking org behind it, and they came out with a real Sys Prefs plug-in and everything. They&#x27

Except that Google can offer sufficient amounts of money to make it insane not to move. (Yes, I know Apple has deep pockets too). I'm mostly curious here if they were hired back by Google because Google genuinely wants their talent, or

Not sure about this project, but Pi Hole (which is very similar and likely covered under your "stuff like this") has updating built in. Updating pihole is as simple as: pihole -up Easy enough to cron up. So, idiosyncratic in that

Interesting, thank you. News is one of the apps I never use, sticking to NetNewsWire+Feedly. I'd hope that ends up in the category of "tried it, failed, phase it out/down", but maybe not. I especially hate ads in paid-fo

That Apple could do it doesn’t mean they will, and the article doesn’t present much actual evidence it will. In Apple long-running saga with Ads it’s always seemed like Apple hates ads because it’s other companies content (and so priorities

For our use-cases if you think about a recruiting team who are just using: - GSuite for email, calendar, etc - Zoom for candidate meetings - Greenhouse as an ATS Then those all have dedicated iPad apps which are very usable. Same story for

There are plenty of depts with a good iPad use case, typically those with very standard workflows and few apps. Think about HR who just need Zoom/Meet/WebEx, Greenhouse (or whatever ATS), and email+calendars. Office admin, custome

I got a great deal on a Canon MF743C (a pretty decent color laser multi-function). MRSP is something like $600 (but in deals can be $400). A guy on FB marketplace was locally selling one brand new for $250 (and took $175 if I picked up same

This is a really cool idea. At first I thought it was a random cloud and would benefit from organization, but then reading down saw the key. The only downside is that it’s not obvious up front which area maps to what business segment, eg if
