I also enjoy rectangle, but struggle to find a good Finder replacement. Any recommendations?

I don't purchase from costco.com regularly, but the selection is generally the same as in-store and a bit more. The shipping is free, but slower than Amazon and faster than a couple weeks.

I've done this before at work, and I feel true ownership of the output after this workflow. Moreso than when someone from a marketing team publishes a blog with the CEO's name as the author.

I just finished reading this book while taking a train for a weekend vacation. To your point, he mentions that if spending money doesn't make you happy, it's because you're spending it on the wrong things. You shouldn't spend money to get the respect of others, because it's fleeting, causes envy, and is the fast food of getting respect. You need to spend money in ways that give you new experiences until you discover what kind of spending DOES make you happy.

I got a shirt I liked from a conference, and I didn't know who made it. It was soft, fit comfortably... I took a picture of some random numbers on a tag and Gemini parsed out the numbers and found the manufacturer. Pretty neat

It smells like an architecture-related issue to me. They wanted to release the model asap, but they're still implementing the fine-grained controls to constrain the model to non-subscription users.
