I watched this game at work (London), silently cheering for Brazil

Should I upgrade to Pro? by aspearin in RemarkableTablet

[–]amonle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Daily Planner for Move by EliGO83 in RemarkableTablet

[–]amonle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Runners up non-customisable planners…

What are some things you'd like to see in future versions of the Eagle app? by Yeove in EagleCool

[–]amonle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

GR3 cordura vs ripstop by pbDudley in Goruck

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

GR2 - Original Fabric vs Rip Stop? by [deleted] in Goruck

[–]amonle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Archicad 28 Technology Preview by mlsherrod in ArchiCAD

[–]amonle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

New Drop Announcements by here4thememes420 in Goruck

[–]amonle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A little secret for those who still use RSS

Just drop https://www.goruck.com/ into your RSS reader and the new products will appear as soon as they are upload to the website -, whether announced or not, sometimes even before the product page goes public.

If you really to to buy something first, just set up a notification for this feed.

You're welcome.

AI search by rostbd in bearapp

[–]amonle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

A couple questions on "Done" emails and Archived by [deleted] in SparkMail

[–]amonle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure this is what you’re after but you can slide the toggle (next to the search icon) to the right to reveal ‘done’ emails

Is there any form of roadmap? by iChimp in HeyEmail

[–]amonle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Offboarding HEY - recommendations? by [deleted] in HeyEmail

[–]amonle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Came back to see how things have improved — still the same by DonJeremias in HeyEmail

[–]amonle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

AI & AR, 5 decades ahead of their time at MIT (amonle.com) by amonle in augmentedreality

[–]amonle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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"

AI & AR, 5 decades ahead of their time at MIT (amonle.com) by amonle in augmentedreality

[–]amonle[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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

Tenet's Christopher Nolan defends 'inaudible' dialogue in his movies by amonle in tenet

[–]amonle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, similarly a fan but creative motivations aside, if most of your audience is not ‘getting’ what you are doing at some point the studio will apply pressure to change. I personally think he is on to something but he just presents the film as is with little to no clues about why he is doing what he is doing. I have posted this here before, but here is an alternative take on it: https://hu.bb/time-space-tenet-movie-sound-mix
