    One difference to consider: books require active participation on the part of the consumer. Whereas digital/screens can just happen to you whether you participate or not.

    Elecom gives them a run for their money thumb ball wise in my experience.

    Steermouse fills this gap brilliantly. Covers every device I’ve ever tried and I have some significant exotics.

    FWIW you can do it for “all apps” in one go — I set one up for printing to PDF and it works great

    FWIW, this is now possible albeit with a third party app: https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise

    FWIW wBlock is on GitHub and can be used without an Apple account. I’ve found it to be excellent.

    Lossless Cut is free, open source, and very simple to use. Highly recommend. Wayyyyy lighter than screen flow.

    If the US government requests such access, do you see a world in which Waymo says no, given the current landscape?

    Just fwiw, my understanding is that this has already happened on both Android and iOS (via TestFlight): https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/29/facebook-project-atlas/

    This is something I’ve been trying to find for years at this point and I’ve tried all the competitors. LOVE how you’ve designed the workflow. One question: any chance it can accept…

    There was talk a while back about them silently degrading print jobs that used third party ink. I forget the exact details but it was arguably more heinous than the HP stuff since …

    I love the Fountain spec for exactly this reason. I primarily began using it since it’s Markdown for screenwriting, but it has bold, underline, and italics along with the usual mar…

    Filebot is very helpful for this. There are free utilities too but filebot is pretty fool proof so worth the cost imo.

    Footnotes and references are the equivalent and imo often lead to more robust sources.
