  • Also a lifelong Windows user, but have to use a Mac for work as of last year. I was expecting it to be a nightmare, but honestly 99% of the day to day stuff is either identical or similar enough that you can figure it out in a minute or two at most.

    Things get a bit trickier if you’re trying to do more complex power user type stuff, since there are different paradigms at play, but even then a quick search will easily point you in the right direction.





  • Shooting film is actually a growing market again these days, so I would want them to release an affordable new film camera.

    They already license out the Kodak brand for the Kodak H35, which is a fun half-frame 35mm point-and-shoot, but it’s cheaply made and very light on features, so there’s still a gap in the market for something more advanced.

    Pentax has recently reentered that exact market with the Pentax 17, but at ~£500 retail I believe another company like Kodak could undercut them and gain a following.

    They’re never going to successfully compete with high end DSLR manufacturers like Canon, and the ultra-cheap analogue film market is flooded with near-identical ‘toy’ cameras, but there’s absolutely space for them to make a comeback as a trusted mid-range boutique brand for enthusiasts.






  • Despite the downvotes (post was at -2 at the time of this comment), this is actually an interesting article that talks about the differences in approach between platforms.

    “Overwhelmingly, Chinese social apps are competing with traditional e-commerce platforms,” he said. “The fact that U.S. lawmakers aren’t talking about this signals that Western apps are going to be playing catch-up for a very long time, no matter what happens to TikTok.”





  • Because it’s not just desktop search in the conventional sense, it parses and indexes EVERYTHING that is shown on screen regardless of app.

    Normal desktop search is fine for ‘where is file X?’ or ‘which document contains Y?’ but the point of Recall is to be able to deal with far more wide reaching queries, like ‘what website did I order a cake from last week?’ or ‘where did I see a great idea for a pizza recently?’, where it can find sources for natural-language queries across anything that was shown onscreen, whether it was a website, an email, a slack message, or something within any other app.
