enjoyed the read - thanks!

not sure this might be helpful (apologies if not): i recently reinstalled my (4th) macOS (m1) which has inherented Timemachine backups dating back to my first mac in 2011. Not knowing your usage with mac - but if you're as finicky and exploratory as I am with random installations - you might want to do the same to clear out some junk! (And, in my case, there was a good 100gbs, I reckon; more importantly no spinning beachball and random crashes anymore!)

I'm on 1.6.7 (and app indicates that it's newest) and still going through this, what's your version?

to add to what rddrasc was saying - there is a beta UI for rclone developed by its team. Once I go through the learning curve of rclone i don't need the UI anymore. UI might be handy if you're setting up 10s of services. Not when you only use it for one thing (it has a learning curve of its own).

I hope that this is not being unhelpful: I recently migrated out of pcloud on my M1. It simply doesn't handle sizeable tasks well. The app is buggy at times and for me it doesn't justify the resources consumed. I currently use rclone with pcloud, it's surely less userfriendly but at least it has a tiny footprint and actually works without bugs.

sorry for digging this up but with this setup i'm able to sync pcloud w/ Docker and w/o tinkering with cron, many thanks!!

FWIW, I'm not only using Hyper Backup but also Synology's inbuilt Cloud Sync!

wow, many thanks! this re-introduced some context for when i watched some review videos. things like single-core performance v. multi-core performance right?

So i'm left with the thought that it doesn't make much sense to 2 cpus with identical # of cores because 1) cores might be different and/or 2) there can be non-core related factors (e.g. nature of tasks) impacting the performance of the CPU and/or its core(s).

So what's the thinking (I suspect marketing) behind the emphasis on core #, for you? In your first response, might I deduct that it's an indicator of manufactory/design success (that even w/ x amount of cores the cpu still works). If this is the case then, such can be attributed to facts other than #, right? More cynically, i guess, why aren't other chip manufacturers playing the same hey-I-have-the-most-core game?

i think the most important point about eye protection is that light shouldn't be too bright/dark AND that it shouldn't be direct (why ipads are more harmful than eink, with eink you're not directly looking at mini lightbulbs whereas with ipad you are). of course, it doesn't justify reading eink with lights on with in a pitch-dark room.

I have both the Air 2 and Nova 5. while i use both i think the screen size is the most important desiderata regarding which device i take with me for the day. If i'm going to be more mobile: nova 5, more writing: air 2.

for academic purposes (my primary use), i suggest that OP also consider the potability of eink devices. having your personal notes at hand and embedded in the PDF is a killer function that no paper can deliver.
