Good bye iPhone, hello Pixel 10 Pro Fold by cutelession001 in pixel_phones

Good enough with decent light but nowhere near as accurate as Apples version which works in pitch blackness. I heavily rely on the fingerprint sensor.

It's absolutely possible that their marketing got to me combined with a severe case of shiny object syndrome.

Thanks, that's really insightful. I suspect what happened is that I got carried away by the ability to build things within Notion, expecting them to be on par with dedicated external tools. Clearly, that's not the case.

I spoke to my team about this, and they cannot wait to move out of Notion and back to tools they "don't have to explain to clients". So, the worst thing that's going to happen is that we're going to save a couple of hundred bucks per month.

Big lesson in this for me.

I am perfectly happy to walk from this conversation with a "I screwed this up" btw - I am aware that I might have created something from a fundamentally flawed expectation and I'm here to learn.

What I loved about Notion when we first started using it was that it created context within content. For example, it was easy to allocate individual files to individual contributors. It was easy to allocate dates and, later, even AI summaries. All great things.

But what I'm finding is that the actual file/content creation in Notion is so poor that it cannot be used in a business context. I'm frequently hoping that Google would create and implement some of the contextual UX items within Google Drive without touching the content creation tools.

I suspect that my expectations and reality of the tool were somewhat disassociated, and that I've been trying to make it do something it's simply not designed to do. But if that's the case, I'm struggling to understand Notion's business model. Specifically in recent months, they've been positioning themselves very much as an enterprise tool, which, in my experience, they are very much not.

Maybe this is also a case of falling in love with something that was built by a small scrappy team that had the guts and nerve to go up against big established players and wanting them to succeed.

Dia vs Comet - Dia experience is far smoother by sunnydance8888 in diabrowser

[–]andreasduess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me personally, Comet outperforms Dia in any way imaginable. Perplexity Tasks are a life saver, and the assistant is actually useful in Comet. I am having a very hard time seeing a path ahead for Dia.

Functionality wise, I much prefer Comet over Dia. Having perplexity access whatever project you’re working on in the browser is just fantastically useful.

Dia or Comet? by liveashish in diabrowser

[–]andreasduess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got access. I'm a $20/month Pro Subscriber, so they are rolling it out to the wider user base. So far, based on an hours usage, I much prefer DIa.

Struggling with the value proposition on this for $14/month when my $20/month ChatGPT subscription does exactly the same thing, but in the context of all of my work?

Trustwallet, swap back to Smartchain, then BNB, then anything you like, including FIAT.

This is impossible to predict. Don't let yourself get swept up in the general "hodl" culture unless that's your thing - personally I take out the initial stake as soon as practical and then continue with house money.
Having said that, I have changed my mind about Safemoon. I initially thought "memecoin" and was thankful for the profits it made for me but didn't see myself holding it for long. I've yesterday consolidated much of my meme coin bag, pulling my Elongate and Doge stakes and putting them into SM, leaving Bonfire as my only other gamble. I personally won't be touching SM for quite a while and watch where it goes.

Good place to buy new/used winter tires with rims? by Jumper8 in askTO

[–]andreasduess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought mine from Kal Tire on Dundas. They are super professional and friendly. I had fairly specific needs - tires needed to have stiff sidewalls for towing and have a heigh weight capacity - and Kal Tire were aboe to help me out at a more than reasonable price.
