Generational fumble. Can’t even believe it
We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026. That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community. Our priority is to deliver best-in-class security for our members. Keeping a browser secure takes constant, dedicated work that is only increasing in the age of AI. Dia was built from the ground up to meet today’s security standards, so that's where our engineering and security teams will focus moving forward. We've worked to make switching to @diabrowser as easy as possible for Arc members. Here's how: · Your passwords, bookmarks, extensions and history come over to Dia seamlessly. · Spaces, Folders, and Tab Groups are in Dia and import over with your data intact. · Dia now surpasses Arc benchmarks in stability, speed, and security. · The browser features you use in Arc are free in Dia, and the AI is optional. Thank you for using Arc, for pushing us to make it better, and for building alongside us. The team that made Arc is the same team behind Dia, and some of our most ambitious work is just ahead. We'd love for you to be there with us when it lands.

I can't believe it. If you're in the EU and you shop at iHerb, unless you set the price to USD (defaults to EUR), you’re paying a markup of ~3.2%. Just set it to USD and use any card with no foreign transaction fees. How many millions have they made off of this?

Idk why the sudden love for China. I go there every year and I would never trade it for Europe or the US. I think people's expectations were just really really low
I spent 14 days in China, and it was my favorite trip in a while. It changed so much since I visited 11 years ago that it felt like a new country. Here is what I liked about China, and what I didn’t. 1. EV adoption is huge. 100% of scooters are electric. You can walk on busy streets and it’s surprisingly quiet! It made me enjoy cities again. 2. It’s so convenient. All restaurants let you scan a QR code to order and pay. You can order a taxi and drive 100 km for $30. The malls are so big you can spend an entire day there. 3. Value for money is top notch. Hotels are new, food is delicious, and yet everything is super affordable. Chinese people are really committed to doing their best, and you can feel this everywhere you go. It’s very humbling. 4. Chinese people are super friendly! We made friends everywhere we went: restaurants, hotels, taxis. I memorized Chinese sentences like 是免費的嗎? (“Is it free?”) and I would repeat them to outdoor vendors for fun. They would laugh and come slap me on the shoulder! I even got a free ice cream doing this ^^ 5. Internet is a gamble. The Great Firewall blocks a lot of websites. You need a VPN and eSIM to access Western websites. And it’s not guaranteed to work, so it’s tricky to get deep work done. I used Revolut eSIMs. It’s expensive, but most websites worked. When I called my parents during the trip, they couldn’t believe how modern China is. For most people in the West, China is still a third-world country. There are 17 cities with 10M+ inhabitants. Most of them were built in the last 30 years. When I was in Hangzhou 杭州, I felt like I was in an ant house. Very crowded, yet super modern, quiet, and organized. My wife and I loved the trip so much. We’ll come back next year and get lost in China because there are so many wonderful places to go.

This is why I love the EU. While China and the US focus on AI and tech we focus on what actually matters. i can’t wait to bring my own container to get takeout next year.
From today, new EU rules apply to all packaging placed on the EU market. They cover design, composition, reuse and recycling — with obligations phased in through to 2030 and beyond. What changes, and when ⬇️ consilium.europa.eu/en/polic…

Ironically if you want a cold room you’re gonna need to go to cheaper hotels with split units and not central.
Any Barcelona hotels you know with actual functioning AC that goes down to 16'C? Thank you

super impressed with the new dictation feature from @raycast. The best I've tried so far. Also an elite explainer video from @peduarte as always. youtu.be/RUh1KDgSOsc

This WWDC felt off. There was nowhere near the same amount of effort put into it as past ones. 2 years ago they were skydiving into apple park. This year there wasn’t even a damn intro. Transitions were all over the place too.

Just got back from a 2 week China trip. Socials make it look like a sci-fi future with Face ID payments and driverless cars everywhere. Not at all. Also every chinese app is years behind western apps. Cameras everywhere too. Great food and security tho.

Now that we can’t reliably tell what’s real and what isn’t, trust shifts away from the content itself and toward whoever is delivering it.

My @raycast extension is live and its the fastest way to estimate how long a text will take to read out loud based on the WPM you set in settings. Hope it helps the 3 other ppl in the world that might want this.

📺 If you're curious how I make long-form YouTube videos as a solo creator in 2+ hours, I walk through every part of my workflow, gear, apps, and setup here! And you can see the time in this video's screen recordings and it's published 2 hours later: youtu.be/Wn7V3WLBjPw

Publishing a @raycast extension that estimates how long something will take to read out loud based on the WPM you set in the settings. Super niche but beats what I had set up with shortcuts. Should be approved soon.
