Will they fix the Chrome extension for this price increase or do I have to wait ~1 hour for it to sync or restart the browser? Check the rating of the extension compared to all others. It is shit, it has been shit for 1+ year.

My Siri just forgets to confirm the timer. So I go to find my phone swearing at it just to figure out it did set a timer, but for the wrong time. It simply didn't tell me.

One thing that blew my mind in a negative way, was pasting a phonenumber into the caller and not being able to edit it. If you paste a number and want for example to add the country code you simply cannot. You can only remove numbers.

If you want to edit it, you have to open the notes app, paste it, edit it and paste it back into the caller.

Shame you have to pay double if you want to use Mullvad inside and outside Tailscale.

I hope they work on integrating the services both ways so I can bring my Mullvad account number over.

I had opinions on how it placed curly brackets for example, I wanted it more similar to C# with the bracket on a new line.

No big deal but a bit annoying to have two ways of doing it.

Prettier which is a Ecmasceipt formatter. It basically doesn't have settings as a feature. You can change some things like eol and if you want to use tabs or spaces. Everything else is more or less as it comes, and they want it to be that way to stop discussions in the teams using it and to not allow feature creep.

I call Pettier a compromise tool, noone is happy noone is too mad when you force it on checkin etc

I understand that viewpoint and I can see the value in it.

The point I was making is that they done no meaningful improvements on Android since five years. If onenote supports rich text the mobile app should do the same.

I enjoy the rich text since I'm not very organised with my notes, I don't have the patience or discipline to neatly write my thoughts down, I mostly copy paste things and write it in one big OneNote document. I have like 90 different random notes in my 2020 forward dumping note.

I those cases highlighting important info is nice, so I don't have to visually remember where the important things are.

I noticed if I don't allow the chaos I just don't write notes so I prefer this way. I started using todo tasks for things I need to do soon, so babysteps to becoming a compete human ;)

It is a shame Microsoft had basically abandoned OneNote The android app still can't change fonts after 5 years of development. It is pure insanity how little MS cares about their best product They made it brilliant at the start and since then stated they won't update it anymore.

God I hope your wish never comes true.

I don't understand why a device can't just be for consumption of media. Why is everyone trying to force this to become a computer with an annoyingly complicated navigation UX and the rest of the ceaveats when using a complete OS.

If I ever have to worry about CPU usage or driver issues on my iPad I will be the one leaving. I bought an iPad NOT to work on it. It is my vacation device so work can never call me and ask me to do something quickly

I telli code has a new way where you can click a API or Nuget and it brings examples of code using that API FROM Github.

Super useful since you can see different ways people use them, for example how people would use an API synchronous or asynchronous.

The bad thing is, it brings all code regardless of license So it will happily bring you GPLv3 code as an example. Not a good idea to study code like that if you work on closed source.

Also it doesn't seem to ask for permission to use the examples.

Google now occupies 50% of my screen with an intrusive non dismissable message telling me I need to enable autouodate of the apps in the appstore.

I am switching camp, Google is selling the illusion of choice. They want control back from options and I don't intend to be part of that journey.

It is hard trying it figure out what path to choose.

Do you just run Docker or do you combine it with Docker Compose?

Do you instead opt for Proxmox in combination with Podman?

Maybe you opt for something simpler like this tool; Sandstorm.

Or even more complex of a setup with a K8 cluster with combined with Gitops.

It is interesting and a lot of really good tools to chose from but it is not obvious to me.

One thing missing from Mermaid is pointing arrows to class members, I use this sometime to create mapping diagram between entities that should be visible in more places than just the implementation code.

With PlantUML you can do this ClassA::memberB - - |> ClassC::memberD

There is an issue on github but no movement.

I think the comment you wrote is better served to you.

You ask for empathy and compassion where you offer none.

I don't think you understood what is being written, and went for wiritbg a comment attacking rather than exploring.

brynjolf — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 00:08:05 +0000

Honestly since I bought bitwarden premium two years ago, there hasn't been a single relevant improvement to the client. It is basically not getting any UX love.

No autocomplete on username, slow initial load, search function is sticky on desktop client but not on the rest. No way to easily add folders or reorganise multiple items.

I won't renew my subscription, not that they care anymore

Teams is written in Angularjs aka Angular 1 [0]

They rewrote parts of it to React when they made the weird half client for Windows 11. Not sure why those two clients haven't merged yet.

MG MQ4 has an option to preheat the battery, so if you know you are going to be charging in the next 30 minutes you can turn it on to be the optimal temperature. It does drain battery faster though so best make your calculations correct.

Wish they worked on the clients on other platforms though. I have PC, iPad, Mac and Android. I want to use one storage solution for all platforms. Apple still is dragging their feet on making feature rich platforms for anything but Apple

brynjolf — Thu, 17 Nov 2022 13:29:11 +0000

Teams was more nefarious than that, if you click the x it minimizes the application, if you click exit the application from menu, it keeps a background process alive, ie seperate application, that you need to also exit. I hope they get fined to hell for that since it is so annyoing

They since have seem to have fixed this, but for most of the pandemic it was like as described. Very annoying at the least.
