Let’s say iOS is really the future and the right bet. Let’s say Apple is not entirely wrong in choosing to neglect the Mac.
Let’s say there’s little room left to innovate on the hardware side, and just room for small refinements and life-support maintenance on the software side. I have a hard time believing it, but for the sake of argument, let’s say the Mac has reached the end of the line. Would love to find a replacement with similar design.Ī new version of ReadKit was just released, and the developer responded to my bug report and said it will be fixed soon.įever Mac Mac App macOS 10.12 Sierra Mint NetNewsWire ReadKit RSS Sunset Vienna RSS Web Mint, the best simple web stats tool I’ve ever seen. I guess I’ll need to make a bunch of test accounts. I want to know how often they fetch and how they handle updates, deletions, and retention. Syncing aside, I don’t see anything to rival NetNewsWire 3.Īs to the servers, it’s exciting how many options there are now, but it is not easy to compare them. Except for Vienna, the apps seem underpowered and overly iOS-like, and Vienna doesn’t have many syncing options. For clients, I found this roundup helpful, but so far I’m not enthused about any of the options. So I’ll be looking for both a new RSS server and client. It still works, but development has slowed, bugs have gone unfixed, and e-mails remain unanswered. The writing also seems to be on the wall for ReadKit, my current Mac RSS reader of choice. But I still really like Fever and am not looking forward to having to find a replacement. I gave up Mint some years ago for a faster, more customizable homegrown solution. I expect I’ll continue using them for a while, but eventually I’ll have to migrate to something else. But the writing’s been on the wall for both of them for quite some time - development has drastically slowed over the past two years. I reviewed Mint and Fever around the time I first installed them and they’ve been my favorite web analytics and RSS syncing services ever since. The baby and the new game and my next are where I will be focusing my energy going forward. But! As self-hosted software, absolutely nothing changes and you can continue using both Mint and Fever as you were yesterday. We end up maintaining several parallel address lists in Google Docs and then copying/pasting individual addresses into the DYMO software.Ĭontacts CSV DYMO Google Docs Mac macOS 10.12 Sierra Printing WebĪs of today I’m officially suspending sales and support of Mint and Fever. And there’s no good way to sync contacts between different users. But, in practice, one ends up making the same manual name changes each year. Then just keep the addresses up-to-date throughout the year. Make a field for how you like the name printed and make a group with all the contacts you want to print. I had thought that Address Book’s (now Contacts’) support for custom fields would eventually solve this problem. He exports to CSV, edits the file in Numbers, and uploads it to the Avery Web site to get it formatted (I guess as a PDF). This got very complex very quickly, but I was able to figure it out. For me, I wanted to address couples as, say, “Stephen and Merri Hackett”, even if my contact card had only Stephen’s name in it. If you’re willing to make precisely zero edits to the address labels that areĬreated from the Contacts app, it’s actually quite easy to print labels. So there’s no audio record made of what went on in a room where an Echo sits. As new sound is recorded, the old is erased.
The Echo only keeps fewer than 60 seconds of recorded sound in its storage buffer. It’s important to note that “always listening” doesn’t mean “always recording.” The Echo is actually only always listening for its “wake word,” which by default is the name of its voice recognition program Alexa. In a statement to USA TODAY, Amazon said will not release customer information without a valid and binding legal demand properly served on it. Police in Bentonville, Ark., asked Amazon for audio and other records from an Echo digital assistant in the home of James Andrew Bates after Victor Collins was found dead in Bates’ hot tub last year, The Information reported Tuesday.Īmazon refused both times. 5,000 hotel rooms here, 5,000 hotel rooms there, and all of a sudden Echo is the entrenched market leader. But Amazon is running full steam ahead here. That, for example, Apple is not too late in putting out an Echo-like dedicated appliance. For those, see the list of most-played video games by player count.There’s an argument that we’re still in the very early stages of voice-driven personal computing. Subscription figures for massively multiplayer online games such as World of Warcraft or Lineage and number of accounts from free-to-play games such as Hearthstone are not taken into account as they do not necessarily correspond to sales.
