I think we have pretty similar taste! I'll have to check out The Rest is History. Recently, I really enjoyed Sarah C. Paine's lectures on Dwarkesh's podcast :)

At work I've use a mix of physical and digital with a whiteboard to track my TODOs as I can always turn around to see what's next and I get a nice reminder at the start of my day of what I have to do. I also have a ~/.kb file, which is just a plain text file to store any scratch notes, commands, etc.

At home, I have a physical journal that I write in, and I hate to admit it but its kind of a mess, but I do have an agenda that I use to management appointments that is better organized only due to the virtue of the provided layout that it comes with.

One of the hardest hit sectors by e-commerce was naturally electronics. I've noticed now trying to buy anything desktop-related such as components or accessories is sometimes nearly impossible without using the likes of Amazon or Newegg, or being gouged by the likes of BestBuy.

In the early 2000s it was easy to find at least half a dozen local electronics stores selling the goods you needed and nowadays there is only MicroCenter or your state may have their own smaller chain (i.e. Central Computers).

I was rather surprised that Apple kowtowed to the UK. Quite a shift from the rigid stance that they had with San Bernardino. I understand the situation is not exactly apples-to-apples (ha!), but it is similar enough.

This stance is even more confusing considering the company has spent the better part of the last decade advertising to customers that they are on their side for privacy and security juxtaposing themselves against Meta and Microsoft.

Starting to think that this could be why Google decided to limit the initial release of Bard to the United States and the U.K.

Seems like it isn't supported in Canada, that's interesting!
