I personally have been dealing with an elbow injury for over 3 years. I have been to all the known places in the bay area and shown it. One surgery, countless doctors (some who took MRIs), and many physiotherapy sessions later the problem still exists.

I believe if a willing doctor takes images all over the elbow, and looks carefully, they will find the cause. But they aren’t willing.

Disappointed with the healthcare here, I for one, would love a solution that takes comprehensive data of my body and tell me what’s going on.

Fastmail is indeed great. It’s been a pleasure to use.

You can add multiple domains to your account without making it a feel like an enterprise.

All the features relating to the aliases is available on the ios app. One doesn’t need to jump between the web and the app to do basic things.

This is a great app. I have a device for it that I bought maybe a year ago, but having it right on my laptop makes things a lot easier.

Great work!!!

This is tangential but somehow fits here. I tried multiple wired and bluetooth earphones/headphones with my switch 2. And the only ones that gave the sound that was acceptable to me, were the airpods. I had the Sony WHX… headphones, I also tried them using an aux cable, I had a few aux wired earphones (skullcandy and some others), all of their output was weak. I am not even sure how that’s possible, I don’t understand sound/music quality as much, but I was genuinely surprised by this.

In Steve Jobs biography, I read that he was obsessed with the factory they built to mass produce devices. I think he was in some way also obsessed with logistics of how things were made, and Tim Cook came in and not only helped Apple but also helped transform the global supply chain.

I also think most products apple makes are in the top tier of their respective category, if not the best.

I think jetbrains is doing a good job making and selling dev tools. But yes, very few in the world have been successful at it.
