The way @evernote is handling their price upgrade is a compelling case study in how to alienate your oldest customers quickly.
That's right, if you are a really old, really loyal customer you literally can't confirm the removal of these devices. That's bad enough, but it won't let you use @evernote until you complete this step. So then you go look for their support option.
I just saw a person with a VR headset on in a co-working space and it's the funniest thing I have seen in ages. I want to be near other people AND I want to block out their presence at the same time.
Honest to God, when was the last time the Oakland aythletics did anything worth this much fireworks?
@browsercompany Do you have an ETA for the windows version? I just went through 6 browsers looking for a better productivity experience and got excited by the Arc reviews, but its Mac OS and iOS only. I am telling you, straight up, Windows and Android users need this the most.
The absence of good cross device browsing continuity is more pronounced outside of the Apple ecosystem. I work across a windows laptop, windows desktop, pixel phone, and iPad. I waste a ton of time trying to find open tabs and just keeping myself organized across brainspaces.
I keep two lists. When people offer to do something to help me, especially an investor, they will end up on the "All talk" list or the "Actual Heroes" list.
Lots of the rapid progress in AI startups gets me excited. Unfortunately many seem to be firmly planted in FNAC territory too.
Sarcastic productivity protip: get a bad cold, leave on a flight right before it goes away, and then get COVID.
No rental car offices open. No ground transportation. I don't want to be in this connecting airport I'm the first place, but the airline (Southwest this time) is just like, sorry, your problem. No compensation. No nothing.
It's always a good sign when you are doing early discovery but people are so excited they just want you to sell them.

A masterpiece of an article from @asmartbear.
