I personally hate touch and can't see myself using it. At the same time, my daughter who is used to Chromebooks, keeps touching the screen on my Macbook. Maybe the target audience is different here.

Totally agree. Those scam calls calling as IRS agent, or outsourced criminal shops that try to steal identity, now this makes it much easier. No more foreign accent. They can hyper optimize to sound like a person from that specific locality.

I agree. We use that a lot and is working out pretty great for us.

We use it for quick research that other teammates can follow, filing bugs, quick first round investigations on incidents, etc.

I agree. But this could be a fun and cheap project to do with kids for their bikes :)

I came here to exactly comment about this. I use Maccy and it is godsend. It is single most valuable productivity hack.

I first encountered clipboard history in Jetbrains Rubymine editor

and in fact, it would be detrimental to business, if they wrongly promote Kimi, as they would pretty soon lose trust with their users

I was getting effected by the "technoference". A few friends when visiting us at our home, are being on phones, scrolling and engaging. I decided to buy a box. Any time friends visit us, they should drop their phones in that box and pick them up while leaving.

Coincidentally today, I have formed a weird theory about reCaptcha. I created a fake facebook account recently. And every time I try to login, I'm getting verify you are human screen that is Google's recaptcha. And I was solving recaptcha for 8-9 times on some occasions. I think the number of times I have to submit in one session went up after couple of days of Facebook usage. My theory is that, Facebook tags many accounts to be fake internally and instead of banning, they use these accounts for data farming including collecting data through Google's recaptcha (but incentive is not aligned as it would help it's competitor unless there is some payback model). This is anecdotal and 99% I'm wrong. But if I'm on the other side with the incentive to use data, it is definitely one I would try to capitalize on.

I think social media won purely because of the network effect. And once a huge amount of people hangout in one place, naturally, they would prefer to have all sort of discussions in the same place. I don't think world chose social media because it is better or anything. Social media was strongly business driven that adopted all sort of dark patterns to gather critical mass.

There is a huge assumption here that being an Entrepreneur, the only desire and success definition is to become well-off. Assuming your statement in good faith, it is not the only outcome. So offering Boggleheads strategy as an alternative or get the same outcome as Entrepreneurship is misinformed. I've come across a few friends when I shared I was building something or working for a startup, their immediate question was "Did you not get a job at Google?" :)

There are many people out there who enjoy building. Even if it gets very low traction and doesn't make them life changing fortune, people enjoy it. Along the way, they might make some money. Of course, there are also a lot of people who get on to this journey with the primary goal of making it big. We should not look at the "side-effects" and think that is the cause.

I switched away from Google to Duck a few years back. But I observed that I mostly do !g and end up on Google. I read similar comments from many others on other threads.

Recently I switched to Kagi and has been a very happy customer. I never visited Google after that. Only downside is the Search on mobile. You have to install an app and enable it as extension on safari. Logging in never worked and couldn't enable my premium Kagi on iPhone.

I've seen this in K-12 EdTech. Most of the companies are owned by PEs. Digital curriculum companies, Assessment companies, Auth companies (like Clever), etc. And these PEs have portfolio of them and keep expanding. Not saying good or bad, just an observation.

I recently heard from couple of Technology Directors at schools that they are looking to procure Macbook Neos replacing their Chromebooks. This might be a strategy to defend their Chromebook market in schools.
