Send the question using an asynchronous communication medium (slack, email...) and I'll get back to it when I'm at that point.

The Pixel 4 is basically the same size as a standard iPhone (Pixel 4: 147.1 x 68.8 x 8.2 mm, iPhone 17: 149.6 x 71.5 x 7.95 mm, iPhone 17e: 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.8 mm).

I don't think most people realize that. The iPhone mini was essentially a category on it's own (iPhone mini 13: 131.5 x 64.2 x 7.65 mm)

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. You can’t be expected to get a subscription, but you also can’t be expected to charge for an upgrade.

Now, I hate subscriptions as much as the next person, but I can’t leave this blog without feeling that the op is a bit entitled.

For what it matters, my opinion is that GoodNotes is doing everything correctly. If you bought a 5 lifetime, you can still use it. It’s the same app (that’s interesting, there is a toggle to go between 5 and 6) so I’m assuming it’s still getting bug fixes for new os releases and similar. 5 was a free update to 4, and 6 was released in 2023 (!) so that license was good for a while. They offer discounts if you bought 5, so op point of it being cheaper on a subscription might be wrong. And according to their website they still offer lifetime licenses for 6, bar the AI stuff (which is probably an ongoing cost for them? No idea if it’s local or not).

Plenty of scammy apps and it would be nice to go back to owning things, but this is the same experience if not better to when you could buy software on a cd and keep it a couple decades ago.

My best guess would be some form of testing before they added sending the "sending a message" part to the API. Build the OTP logic, the scaffolding... and add a way to make sure it returns what you expect. But yes absolutely wild.

I'd argue the second one was not followed either. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the article, but I would not take a random "your password has changed" as proof. I would need the caller to send me an actual email from their personal work email address (or ticket system?) with some actual, human communications in it.

You can have 2 automation, one which enable grayscale when certain apps are open and one that disable it when the apps are closed. It’s under shortcuts > automation > app > is closed.

That is a terrible explanation to be honest. 10pm PT is 6am UTC, which is not a great time for Europeans. Both COTA and Miami started around noon PT, which is 8pm UTC and a much more reasonable time in Europe if you ask me.

Unless they are trying to appeal to Australian fan, my money on the real reason is that they wanted the glamour of a night race in Vegas.

Not dmunozv04 - you need to install the 64bit version of Raspberry Pi OS (unfortunately not the default) as the project does not provide ArmV6 images with Docker. Or build your docker image/run it outside of docker.

If you limit yourself to the recommended ones they're supposed to be reviewed by a human and subject to some amount of guidelines - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/recommended-extensions-... and https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/build-a-...

Personally I do try to limit the amount of them I run, stick with recommended and take at least a glance at the source from time to time, but it would not defend against version updates or good efforts to obfuscate bad code. I do feel at least somewhat confident that for recommended extensions with substantial usage the internet would surface funny business quite quickly.

But yes, I would love for some independent third party to have some review program! Unfortunately it's not clear how it would be funded.

Isn't Docker for Mac just using VMs in the background?

The Zenfone is the same size as a regular iPhone. I know reviewers hype it up as a small phone and in the android context, it is - but it's not comparable to the iPhone mini.
