Is it just JMAP, or why does Fastmail's web app feel so fast? I have moved away from all locally running mail apps to Fastmail and even fetch/alias all my other mail accounts to them because of the much better experience.

Probably another instance of people who somehow couple the success of their chosen team/group to their own self-worth. Depending on the intensity of the manifestation, we call it national pride, gang affiliation or John Gruber.

How well does Obsidian Sync's conflict resolution work compared to Dropbox? Dropbox now supports folder selections for 3rd party apps via the iOS Files app [1], and I wonder how well that stacks up against Obsidian's native sync.

Can Gemini Ultra respond with the LaTeX/KaTeX formula of a given input image (e.g. a screenshot from a math formula)? GPT-4 does this well and can practically replace Mathpix Snip for me.

Nearly every Android device ever made runs on an outdated kernel that can't be upgraded anymore. From a platform perspective, I think they made the wrong choice when the majority of their install base has turned into abandonware.

It is biased towards passively cooled CPUs. It's dev once stated in an interview that they tried to recreate the typical bursty usage patterns of mobile phones, and therefore the added little pauses between the tasks.
