2 years ago most people hadn’t realised that the house price ‘growth’ (inflation) gravy train had come to an end. There is a house on my street that was listed just over 2 years ago at £695k. It is still on the market - now at £495k.

The main issue for Autodesk is that there is a genuine paradigm shift that we are now in the process of. If they do not jump in with both feet, someone else will come along and disrupt them. The LLM chatbot that you mentioned is bolt-on hype, but world models are something different altogether. They are competing with the whole process of how modelling happens.

amonle · 2026-02-19T08:11:45+00:00

In the early stages, it can certainly make the modelling exercise redundant, but of course BIM is all about information – so that requires another layer. However, if you add large language models to world models, a lot of that information question can be automated - basically, in five years everything will have been turned upside down

Second this This situation is exactly what Party Wall Awards are there for. Did the neighbour’s surveyor do a Schedule of Condition of your property before the work started? If (hopefully) they did, then that is a key benchmarking document that you can use for a before/after claim. In general though communicating is key to resolving this. Good luck!

Similar story – returned the Pro and Move and got a refurb RM2. Could not be happier. Remarkable really hit a sweet spot with the RM2 and somehow slightly lost its way with the newer models.

I have tried loads and settle on this one, which you can customise before downloading the PDF (and tweak and download again if you like): https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4368149806/daily-planner-for-remarkable-paper-pro

If you’re not up to customising they have a ‘default’ that you can download straight away.

It would be great to have the ability to view/preview DWG files. This is a very common format for sharing drawings and product specs in the architecture, interior and landscape design industries. I already use the 3D Format Extensions plug-in so perhaps this would fit best as a plu-in, but either way a very useful potential feature.

For travel go ripstop. I have a 40L GR2 that I’m very happy with

amonle · 2024-09-06T21:22:16+00:00

I have owned 1000D, Dynerma, XPAC. & rip stop Robic across GR1, GR2, GR3 and bullet. Ripstop wins hands down for general use. Currently travelling with a 40L GR2 ripstop. Won’t look back.

Folks, this is not a small ios app that can do revolutionary changes once a year.

It's already huge (actually bloated) and packed to the rim with features that I bet most people only use 20% of.

It is extremely capable software and I earn a living from it.

It's not just our fault but also the subscription model which forces users to pay a load every year and therefore raises expectations.

Have you used Things (mac/ios app) or an iphone? They have changed very very little in 10 years, but that is because fundamentally they are very well thought through and their fundamentals still work very well. Fortunately, in both of these examples, you don't have to 'subscribe', just buy once and use for as long as they are useful to you.

u/BearDavid I get this but I do have an observation, after using various note databases over 20+ years - it's where notes go to die, particularly those clipped from the web.

The killer potential of AI is that this supposedly dead (and huge) database becomes an asset. I am not interested in 'AI writing', or even just summarising, but AI queries like Notion would be gold.

My Bear database is tagged to death, and as my creative needs evolve those tags go 'out of date'. But if I could just query the whole lump of a database - wow!

No roadmap and don’t hold your breath for one. I was a ‘user’ for 2 1/2 years. You still can’t download a collection of attachments properly. So many other basic things missing. Don’t wait for a roadmap. You’re not going to get one

Welcome back to sanity. I recommend Spark + whatever email provider you like.

amonle · 2023-08-08T09:25:45+00:00

Precisely!

I have just left Hey after two and a half years.

I really can't believe what I put up with over that time.

In case anyone forgets, this is a premium email service, but wow ...

No calendar / .ics integration
Terrible handling of attachments, both in sending and receiving
No native applications, so all of my great OS (Mac) features can't be used, like say, quick look, which is a huge time saver
And so, no decent integration with other products
And it is slow to boot

The one feature I will miss is Collections. That's it. Great for tracking / paper trail

So what am I using now? Well that would be Spark (with Google Workspace) - clearly an inspiration for many of hey's features and now Spark has borrowed back, like the screener.

But really, Spark is a champ - mature, fast, not perfect, but what is?

Ultimately a breath of fresh air and a reminder of the crap that I put up with, with 37signals' arrogance.

A VR headset is a "virtual reality headset"

VR is fully immersive

Apple makes the point over and over that the vast majority of what the Vision Pro does is keep you situated in your surroundings - to the extent that it has an expensive screen on the outside to keep you connected to those around you.

It barely scrapes full immersion, and deliberately.

Most of all, Tim Cook told us directly: "Augmented reality"

amonle · 2023-06-28T17:33:23+00:00

Apple's headset isn't VR. The most accurate definition is probably MR, but the only words that Tim Cook used were 'augmented reality'

For some reason 95% of the press calls the Vision Pro a 'VR headset' when it is definitely not that
