Lots of companies use Asana, which is a rather solid platform overall.

What's impressed me more is the amount of money Dustin kept plowing into it over the years to maintain its share price. I never bought any but always thought that was a sign of better fortunes ahead... or perhaps just founder delusions.

The stock had a great pop in early Dec but after the decline on this news now trades around where Dustin has been picking up shares the last few years.

I’m pretty much the same as you.

One thing not mentioned as a factor here is the convention now to almost always open links from any app in a new tab, which inevitably leads to tab creep especially when multitasking.

And iOS/iPadOS is even worse for this, in my own experience. I only discovered the 500-tab alert in Safari on iPhone recently. I had no idea I had so many open there, but every URL spawns a new tab and if you switch out of an app that opened it, why would you remember to switch back to Safari as your last step to close whatever tab opened it? (Which seems like it could be an indicator or OCD ;)

In brief, we’re pretty normal.

(But I’m undecided as to whether that’s good or not.)

Clearly you have never consumed a high dose of LSD in your life ; ) Even compared to strong opioids, the effects of lysergic acid diethylamide are quite unique and impossible to ignore. (I offer the comparison with opioids only in terms of how apparent their relative effects are, especially once you get to hydromorphone and the stronger ones from there.)

If you're unfamiliar, white paper (PDF) and site. And crypto chart, for the haters. ;)

"Do not have as good reputation for reliability" according to who?

I bought 2 LG 5K refurbs off Woot for $500 each a couple years ago and they have worked perfectly and endured multiple cross-country moves.

I have recommended the display to others who have paid retail for new models and are totally pleased.

Do you think LG would push the same $1300 display for years knowing it's got problems?

As usual, the few people with issues are probably vastly outnumbered by those without any, but we're typically a quiet bunch getting shit done instead.

2020: we did it guys!

only the 2015 MacBook had a butterfly keyboard.

other 2015 Apple laptops had the older keyboard, hence why they are not included.

Okay, I could understand these posts when the 2016 MacBook Pro came out, especially because I bought one when released.

Not only did I have to endure the migration to the butterfly keyboard, I did so with the super noisy variety, which was nonetheless an upgrade over the 2015 MacBook I later purchased that was the first model ever to feature this keyboard (oddly, it didn't seem as noisy as the 2016 MBP keyboard, but the mechanism felt less crisp).

NO JOKE: the #1 feature that had me looking at 2018 and 2019 MacBook Pro's was the third-gen butterfly keyboard. Yes, I'd enjoy the speed boost with some tasks, but I'd enjoy the keyboard all the time. But the value proposition isn't there to justify that upgrade, especially since I bought the fully maxed out 2016 model (not from Apple directly, of course; I'll pay their outrageous 1TB SSD tax, just not full-price for it).

Earlier this year, my 2016 MBP battery dipped below acceptable performance so, thanks to AppleCare, I got a whole new bottom case, which included a new third-gen butterfly keyboard. My satisfaction went way up after this, not only is the mechanism much better (I've yet to get anything trapped under a key, which was a monthly occurrence before even though I don't eat at my laptop) but it's much quieter: no longer does my light-touch 140wpm sounds like I'm going to dent a table.

Now, when I used a 2015 and earlier MacBook Pro, I'm amazed at how loose and spongy the keys feel, and I can't type as quickly. Perhaps because they have additional years of use, but I'm more inclined to say that the butterfly mechanism is, in fact, superior and that once you adapt, the shorter throw on the keys improves typing speed.

So there's my story: ZOMG the 2018/2019 MBP keyboards are SO much better than the 2016 one. Seriously. Best keyboard on a laptop, ever.

It sounds like the OP has an legit technical issue with their keyboard that needs repair. Or they struggle with change.

Either way, I hope that as everyone with a 2012-2015 MBP upgrades in the coming years that we won't regularly see these people complaining about the lack of floppy drive. I mean, keyboard.

Not sure why "Has come back to life" links to a 1 paragraph blog post, on a page begging for donations no less, than then links to the actual story: https://skyriddles.wordpress.c...

I just sent him this message: https://cl.ly/3y18020T1A3t

Energeous (NASDAQ: WATT) has been working on some innovative wireless charging tech for a few years. What's cool about them is that they IPO'd to raise funds (effectively) so there's a lot of behind-the-scenes info you can glean from their SEC filings that you normally don't see with a small startup.

They've been working with a Tier 1 provider for a while. They haven't disclosed who. But they're based down the road from Cupertino...

The stock already jumped Friday on this news, but it's still trading below its moving average.

Apparently that's not helping you avoid mistakes either, though. :p

Thanks, I'll check out the Unicomp next time I'm in the mood to change my typing setup. The Extended II I got has the cream alps keys, so they're dampened but seems to have no deterioration (not surprising since it's new).

I like the Logitech K760: https://support.logitech.com/e...

It's solar powered and always at 100% battery capacity for me. It also has 3 Bluetooth receivers, so I can switch between my laptop, desktop, and iPhone with a single key press.

I just bought one of these, brand new + sealed and everything. It's at least 15-20 years old and obviously works flawlessly with a USB-ADB adapter (Griffin iMate).

I always loved this keyboard when I was in middle school & high school and some Macs in the lab had them. The Apple Design keyboard that followed sucked, as did every Apple keyboard afterwards until they moved to the low-profile scissor switches.

I thought that the Extended II would boost my already fast typing speed (100+ WPM) but it hasn't—the extra throw of the switches (almost 3x that of my MacBook Pro) negates any benefits the nicer feedback is otherwise providing. It's better than the Matias TactilePro I had a few years ago (cheaper build quality than Apple's, and louder switches even though they're supposed to be the same).

I'm enjoying this Extended II and feel it was worth the $120 it cost me on eBay (cheaper than it was new when it came out!) but I do think the cult of mechanical keyboard junkies will eventually disappear as those people literally die out (or their keyboards, I suppose). Unless you grew up on a mechanical keyboard, I don't think any user accustomed to keyboards of the last 5 years (Apple ones, at least, since that's what I mostly use and they're quite good) will see any benefits to using one. They're louder, way bulkier, and can only be used when connected to a computer via this weird and ugly thing called a "cable."

I'm not sure what "2-bit" means in the context you're using it here (unless it's to show you're belong to the 60+ age group), but just because you're apparently unfamiliar with Tyler the Creator or Odd Future doesn't mean a guy who is frankly producing more interesting music with more interesting lyrics than U2 is trying to ride their coattails for publicity. He made an amusing and controversial quip (as he tends to do) and the media's amused by it as well. Carry on.
