My Snagit license was up for renewal. After VS Code, Safari, and Terminal, it was the app I used most on my computer, so I needed it to run fast and do what I wanted. Instead, it kept getting in my way in all its bloated glory, and I didn't want to pay to renew it. So I'm building my own replacement.

Yes, it's another screenshot and recording tool. But this one has exactly the features I need, nothing more and nothing less. It's like a home-cooked meal. Sure, it's vibe-coded, but it has a bit of an engineer's touch.

So, what do you use?

I liked Kagi a lot, but gave up on it as I couldn’t configure it as a default search engine on iOS. Ended up with Duckduck go.

I understand that your comment is related to publicity that this event got, but I chuckled when I read that Honda is an unexpected source of serious engineering :)

A few months ago I tried a new JBL receiver. It was trash (the worst I have tried and I tried 5 or 6 different ones for my room). I also saw their soundbar and their vintage speakers. I wouldn’t agree that JBL makes quality products, but that is just my experience.

Email. All my notes, plans, todos, reminders (via snooze/send later) are in the email. I also use calendar to keep the family in sync. My current "life database" (i.e. inbox) is on the iCloud (like everything else, so it is good for Legacy Contact, when I pass away), though it was in google workspaces before and it can be on anything else in the future (including self-hosted server).

INTC up 5% after hours.

Someone on a different thread suggested to use the screentime (with a different passcode) and disable icloud settings. Works like a charm.

Wow! Used it only for kids so far, didn't figure out that it is actually a hidden security jewel :) Thank you!

What do you mean by this: "use Screen Time to disable making changes to your account"?

This community is funny at times.

A lot of people had their opinions on those two threads, didn't they?

Kudos to the ones who questioned the origin of the phenomenon instead of declaring immediately that the world is falling.

Another problem that I have is iCloud+ storage limit of 4TB. My family will very soon get very close to this limit with all our photos, videos and other stuff. Is anyone aware of any plans for an increase in near future?

I was in 6th grade when I found "The C Programming Language" on the floor in my friend's house. I picked it up, took it home, and read it cover to cover. I didn't have a computer then, but I was absolutely sure about what I wanted to do in my life.

Thank you, Mr. Ritchie and Mr. Kernighan for opening the world of computer science for me.

Ditto.

I do have astigmatism, which (reading comments now), might turn out to be important thing in light vs dark mode discussion.

Exactly the feeling that I have (claustrophobic).

You can use them from browser if you use duckduckgo as your search engine. There is still not an option to navigate there (if you are, for example, planning your trips in advance). Very basic, unfortunately.

Since we already use MS Office (and paying for Office 365 subscription), moving to MS "ecosystem" looks like more and more likely option.

The only problem there is video conferencing (Skype is awful), but we use some other solutions for that, anyways (as enterprise customers we are dealing with are really not accustomed to meet.

Can't believe that MS looks agile compared to Google when it comes to these things. It seems that Ad business is eating up all the talent over there...
