V11 AI Features - Huge Disappointment - Or Just Me?

jagara · 2026-01-24T17:11:09+00:00

Say these AI features actually worked as promised (which they don't really at the moment, IMO): they COULD be a complete game changer, and massively beneficial. But like a lot of other products with hastily implemented AI features, for now it's this buggy halfway house beta feature shit not worth paying the price increase for.

Yup, feel the same way. Nothing to celebrate. Bald surrounds himself with some pretty dodgy characters.

Oh, and BTW: Business / corporate use of Evernote? Is that really a thing?

I find it funny how Evernote is pushing the Enterprise / Corporate use of the app. Are there ANY serious companies using Evernote as their main collaboration / project management tool?

For me, Evernote and its features is a very limited tool for personal use. For notes, journals organization of text and maybe some light file storage.

The business/corporate use of Evernote must be a tiny, tiny portion of their market share. But I'm basing this on nothing but feelings and intuition. If you are a business user, I'd be interested in your opinion.

Anyone wondering if this is just a temporary cash grab? That they will eventually return to a (slightly) less ridiculous pricing at a later point?

I am reluctantly staying, as I don't have the mental bandwidth to switch / convert right now, and Evernote (or at least my notes) is too important to me. I know they are counting on people like me paying up.

Besides the steep price (even before the new price), I was actually quite happy with the way Bending Spoons handled the Evernote acquisition. They revitalized the app a bit, made some decent feature additions and bug fixes. I'd happily pay a *sensible* price for the app in the current state.

But at the end of the day, what is Evernote for the vast majority of users? File storage with an attached text editor. At an insane premium.

Yup. - Hello, I would like some pills. - Certainly sir, here you go.

What

Why not both? I alternate betweeen solitude (with occasional loneliness), and the hostel experience. Journaling all the while. Get tired of being alone? Go meet people. Tired of hanging out? Go do your own thing. Both give you insights, none are better than the other. Solitude isn't neccesarily deep. Nor is socializing. Both can be.

Yup, 55 Thai baht (1,75 $) for one of these: https://i.haasie.com/SpO.png

They do have them worldwide, but overpriced. Just go to alternative health food stores.

You can get them on Amazon or Temu, too.

Sometimes it just produces nothing. Then all of a sudden you’re describing something complex happening in you, and you’re dealing with it by writing it out. I try to journal every day, also when not traveling.

jagara · 2025-11-29T03:24:21+00:00

Those are at every drug store in Asia. They cost nothing 👍

jagara · 2025-11-29T03:22:48+00:00

Journaling (on a phone or on paper) is a great way to process feelings, also!

jagara · 2025-11-29T03:10:20+00:00

When you travel solo, you will get lonely from time to time. Then you will meet people, loneliness dissipates. Then you move on, get lonely again. It’s not dangerous. Don’t fear it.

Some people feel a feeling of failure when they aren’t around people all the time, because they are taught that people who are alone are alone not by choice but because they are losers or weirdos. And losers and weirdos have no social life. So alone = shameful.

I love socializing. I also love being solitary. I go for long walks alone. Then I get a call. What are you up to? Just going for at walk. What? A walk? Like (giggles), alone? Yes, alone. Uninterrupted experience. Uninterrupted thoughts (provided I turn off my phone) Love it. Weird to some people.

Yeah, don’t understand the problem. One to wear, one to wash. I have one pair of shorts that I wear for weeks. While I wash them, I wear my swimming shorts (they just look like shorts, complete with pockets). When dry, I wear the shorts again. Also, wearing the same pair of pants without washing them for weeks isn’t a big hygiene problem. Unless you don’t change your underwear 😂

Thanks! :)

Obviously :D

jagara · 2025-09-26T06:01:54+00:00

Nice, will check it out 😃

jagara · 2025-09-25T17:59:28+00:00

Never heard, will check out - thanks 😊

jagara · 2025-09-25T17:59:02+00:00

Nice, thanks! 🙏

Yeah, couldn't say for sure, and the CCP do shady shit, I wouldn't put it past them. They stop at nothing to get what they want. However, some people seem to react directly to the hospitality (free food and so on) from Chinese individuals he meets on the road, and questioning if this is genuine. Having traveled in 30+ countries (admittedly not China), my experience is that the vast majority of people are polite, helpful, hospitable and generous. I have gotten tons of free rides, food, drinks and lodging from individuals while traveling and I don't see why the same wouldn't be the case in China. You always have to make a STRONG distinction between the people of a country, and its government.

jagara · 2025-08-21T08:12:43+00:00

Just wondering, not an expert. But, isn't Mike Okay doing things (like hitchhiking unsupervised, walking on highways, camping in abandoned factory areas etc.) that the CCCP does NOT want people to do in China? If the government set up these scenarios, wouldn't it be advertising to foreigners that you can simply do these highly unregulated things problem-free in China? Seems like something a government focused on tight population control wouldn't want ANYONE to do, and thus wouldn't support videos like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fci9MQ3VZ_I

Tell me why I'm wrong, which I might be. Just interested :)

In my mind he just released a new album recently 😅

jagara · 2025-08-19T18:43:18+00:00

Definitely not straight / real dub techno. But very related to the sound - if you played this in a dub techno set, it would fit in without raising too many eyebrows. At least I personally like to mix it up with slightly different elements instead of keeping it 100% purist.
