#172Not sure if it's available in other countries, but in France you have Dealabs which allows you to vote on deal and offers a bit like on reddit, allowing the community to highlight the best bargains. It's also used as a commercial device by companies directly nowadays but the good deals there are usually worth checking out. https://www.dealabs.com/

> rOtring 800 is down to $20. Lost mine a couple weeks ago and was really bummed. Where? I found it listed on the rOtring site ( https://www.rotring.com/pens-pencils/pencils/rotring-800/SAP... ), but they don't clearly give any option to buy that I can see.
I couldn't find an option to buy directly from them, either. It's $21.29 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AZWNS84/
Yeah, on Amazon. Whoops, forgot to specify.

> And it's fully encrypted on their servers. I wish we had better words to describe encryption and the specific tradeoffs of each approach. I did not know purelymail, but knowing IMAP I had a gut feeling that things were a bit more complicated than a blanket "fully encrypted on their servers". Sure enough, reading between the lines of their documentation they can pretty much decrypt any email on an account by just us…
Well said. In their docs they actually call out this exact issue, and mention that they'd like to improve it in the future, but it would require significant work and that's not necessarily worth it for them. It would be nice to see a lot of competing small-fry players innovating in the email space. In an ideal world, I could just shop around between mail providers with my domain and pick whichever option provides the…
There are a couple of players in town, namely MXRoute and Migadu (that I know of). The only thing that keeps me off switching to them is, well, bus factor and support. I was on Proton too, and the encryption finagling is what made me switch to Fastmail. Unfortunately for most people, Google IS the internet.

Love BetterTouchTool. It's a must-have to customize your Mac, keyboard shortcuts, automate things you do regularly, etc.
Do you have some examples? I see the appeal but aren’t really inspired by the description, could you share how you use it?
My number one use is a three finger swipe up/down to change tabs in the browser, terminal, IDE, etc. BTT also includes a window manager that lets you drag apps to an edge to half-screen them or snap them to other window edges. It also allows you to create a custom notch bar or custom touch bar, along with many other little tools. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Sincerely curious question: Why would one want a home weather station? Like, are you growing crops at home? Or just curious about hyper-local weather over time?
If you garden then you may want to know your actual amount of rainfall to gauge how much watering you need to do. You'd be surprised how much rainfall can actually vary over a small area compared to a regional average. And for people in rural areas that are not near other weather sensors, or areas that may not have regular internet connectivity or frequent outages (and coastal areas subject to storms and high winds).…
Also if you get a good enough weather station you can feed the data to NOAA and improve the accuracy of your local forecasts.

If you scroll down to the very bottom, it tells you it's part of the Pepper platform and you can select the local version from the dropdown menu. I check it out every now and then and have a few alerts set for things.

This sounds a bit conspiratorial to me. Do you have a source?
Not so conspiratorial, I don't know about AMD but companies like Samsung do sell modified SKUs (I believe mainly TVs) with generally worse processor power than their not BF counterparts. A quick Google (or HN even) search should bring up a few articles about this behavior.
They also have store-specific models which may be the issue. All subtly different and generally only the base model is reviewed.

#179I've gotten two great "deals" this week. The first: I bought "unlimited" worldwide maps from Osmand, which I use a TON for offline maps when I bike. It's $9.99 for unlimited worldwide offline map downloads right now. Great deal if you'd like to move away from Google Maps for navigation (not so great for business search, but it's slowly getting there!) The second: not actually a Black Friday deal, but I recently switc…
Thanks for the tip on the M28U, just bought one here in Europe for a similar price. The KVM feature is a huge bonus.

I am addicted to Rotring pencils. I already have more than I will use in a lifetime (56). I have taken to gifting them to my loved ones. I am not sure all appreciate the quality, and the longevity of these pencils, but for those who do, this is a gift greatly appreciated.
That said, I was unable to resist myself and bought four to gift to my direct reports this holiday season, so, thank you OP!
