“How to turn off the 'Sign in with Google' prompts? Just sign in with Google and turn off the prompts…”
Erm…
How has Windows had Clipboard history since October 2018 and macOS / iOS still don't have it?
According to my Alfred stats, I use its clipboard feature ~50 times a day, but it feels so essential I'd like it to be built in and have the snippets available across devices.
If you watch someone do certain tasks without a clipboard manager, it feels like you’re watching someone do it with one hand tied behind their back.
Do you use one?
Yes, Clipboard managers are part of modern lifeNo, I don’t use a clipboard managerClipboard managers should always be 3rd partyJust show me the results

Glad we didn’t go with Vanmoof for my wife last year – the reliability reports put us off and ended up getting a Lekker bike Amsterdam GT instead. It’s got standard components so any bike shop can fix it and has a removable battery: https://lekkerbikes.com/products/amsterdam-gt-enviolo-ct-ebike
Service was also great: she swapped sizes and had a brake issue that were solved quickly with no fuss 👍

Anyone else finding it takes like 3 tries to switch to the HomePod context in Apple Music recently?
That workflow has always been janky, but at least it used to work.
Amazing how quickly kids pick up on language as a concept: our 2 year old kept saying things were “heavy” to do. It was only when I suggested “difficult” and she asked me “but German?” that I realized ‘schwer’…So far I feel us both sticking to the non-dominant language is working out alright. Their English is great and German only slightly behind their peer groups. #bilingual #kids #parenting #munich
I feel my experience asking pre-school kids to get ready in the morning has really prepared me well for the challenge of writing prompts for chatGPT. Same specific language and redundant phrasing required.
