  • Max Tech on M1 iPad Issues

    by

    Good look at the issues with the M1 iPad and iPadOS 14 (and still 15). None of them are in the class I entirely discount when someone complains the iPad doesn’t work like the computer they’re used to. Two weeks into owning the M1 iPad Pro, I like it. No regrets in the decsion since

  • Task Managers Make it TOO EASY to Input Tasks

    by

    Jamie Todd Rubin on the ease of entry for task managers. The fact that to-do apps makes it easier for us to record what we have to do is part of the problem. We accumulate more stuff because it is easy to accumulate. The fact that there are market forces driving us to feel more

This is far better than what Things 3 provides, with little automation on macOS and on iOS you need to create a

I don’t actually use my Kindle enough for reading to warrant an extra fee for Readwise regularly so I use his second free option in the form of Markdownload as a Chrome extension. Today
