It’s poor design if you have to read the manual to find a critical safety feature.

> I was hoping these bots would have some crazy moonshot ideas on how to grow PromptBase given all the context they have - so far that has not really happened - you still need to come up with ideas.

This is just another form of the "passive income"/"get rich quick" obsession. If agents could do this, anyone would be able to come up with a way to generate money.

Such a basic mistake treating any repo as free use. That one’s clearly a rip of copyrighted code.

Might be true in some countries but EVs are rapidly becoming the highest sellers in many others. My experience is that once people experience an EV for the first time they prefer it over a hybrid/ICE car, unless there's a practical reason for needing hybrid range (which most people will argue but don't need day to day).

Exactly. Sad to see another industry getting decimated by AI just to save a bit of cash.

My phone kept saying it couldn't find anything, until I realised I turned off Spotlight Suggestions for photos, contacts, mail etc. Once I turned them on, Siri could access it.

I just started using Zen (Firefox-based Arc clone) after Arc updated to Manifest V3. It's great! Last time I installed zen it was a battery hog, but it's much better now.

The background music is ripped from the PS5 home menu too.

The banks will be fine. Australia implemented a similar system a while back (NPP/Osko) which is a standard adopted by 100+ banks. It was designed as a replacement for standard bank transfers which usually took a couple of days.

Now, even transfers in the tens of thousands move instantly. This was also a response to apps like Venmo potentially entering the market - now you can just pay to a phone number or email, as long as it’s been explicitly linked to a bank account. This is by far the preferred way to send money here and third party apps are not common.

They’ve also now introduced PayTo which manages debits and payments online with no fee. You simply approve the transaction in your bank’s app.

Australia also has widespread Visa and Mastercard use, but Eftpos has always existed - which is a fee free alternative around since the 1980s. It supports contactless, but that isn’t widespread due to weak international support and can only be used with debit cards.

The downside is that new features need to be implemented by each bank app, but it’s been interesting to see some of the smaller credit unions collaborating for example.

If you have a Kobo, it has built in Pocket integration and sync out of the box

I find the design of Chrome to be nicer in general. Feels like there's less going on.

I just installed it on my Air, and it seems a lot smoother than Helvetica ever was. YMMV though

At first glance, they look very similar. However, in use there's a big difference between the two.

San Francisco is squarer which makes its x-height seem higher. The minor variations in lettering make a massive difference when used in application.

100% not a knockoff of Roboto. They're really, really different.
