Thunderbird is a great email client but I don't trust it when it comes to calendars and contacts. Syncing with CalDAV/CardDAV or Google Calendar/Contacts has always been problematic and apparently this is the very first versi

Do you mean that it repeatedly asks for payment? I purchased a license long ago and did not know how bad it treated free users in recent versions. That being said, I still do not regret for paying for this extension. It is still the only br

Instead of taxing the CPU with running their benchmarking app they resort to compile it. This reminds me of this [0] interview they gave on XDA-developers: "One of the things we’ve done in four is we’ve started pausing in between the w

As someone who next to a Mac also uses Windows I just gave up on native RSS apps. Somehow RSS (or Twitter) apps never got traction on Windows. There are some nice self-hosted RSS aggregators but in the end I just 'solved' this pro

I prefer and pay for 1Password's subscription but I already tested the export and import into enpass.io: It works very well! If the acquisition takes place, I will switch immediately. I am against vendor lock-ins and Apple is the first

Have you tried IRCCloud? Their web based front-end is as nice as Slack's but it still works with decentralized IRC servers. They also manage the client's state (unread messages) better than regular IRC bouncers.

I used the Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical for years until I discovered the SteelSeries Sensei. It is a gaming brand, which means you will have useless lights on it but it still has the symmetric design like the IntelliMouse and has additi

Did they actually solve the reliability issue or is this just a (one time?) free service to get another of these error-prone keyboards?

My reference is a non-Retina MacBook Air and external displays that are around 100 DPI - I still live in a non-Retina world and the difference is still glaring.

Is here any alternative that can keep up with Apple's font rendering? This might be highly subjective but for me the same font on a Mac looks much more pleasant than on Windows or Ubuntu. It is tempting to understate this as a minor de

They needed to rewrite their Windows version from scratch multiple times and their first major release from this rewrite marathon was 1 Password 6 which had no support for local vaults. This looked like a clear deprecation of their local va

I hate subscription models but with 1PW 7 I would have to pay +40 € for each the Mac and the Windows version and still have not access to new features like the travel mode or the CLI client. AgileBits seems to be an honest company and they

Just because they call themselves 'Free Software Foundation' does not mean that they have the absolute authority over the meaning behind 'free software'. Pick a definition that you agree with and start to call it 'f

They introduced a second 1 TB plan for twice the price with questionable added value except for Smart Sync and their offerings with more storage space are only made for teams. Maybe it is time for me to switch away from Dropbox? Previously,
