Tip of the day: In #DEVONagent Pro, you can archive search results or send them to #DEVONthink. But after closing the search, you no longer have access to those results. Of course, you can run the search again, but there is a more efficient way to return to them. #productivity #research #tipoftheday #websearch #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20240409-devonagent-save-results

Tip of the day: One of the features Apple added to their operating systems is Live Text. It uses the device’s camera to dynamically detect text in whatever it’s pointed at.

Yet another day of screaming at digital enshitiffication:

1. My coworkers and I are in a car driving to FOSDEM.
2. We pull up to charge the car.
3. Charging station REQUIRES you to use an app, no option to just pay with a card.
4. We try to install the stupid app. We carry phones running:
- GrapheneOS
- GrapheneOS
- GrapheneOS
- LineageOS, postmarketOS, iOS
5. Neither of our phones meet requirements to install the stupid app (Play Integrity API).
6. My iPhone can't install the app, because it's "Not available in your country".
7. We give up and drive to another charging station.

This is NOT how you introduce applications, "Circle K"

We show you how. #ios #paperless #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20240716-iphone-ipad-mac-scanner
