If that is the case then it’s better but I’d still shut it off and err on the side of caution. The Apple demo video does not mention needing Air Drop enabled, only that both users need to be signed into iCloud: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZL5D1k-4aI
Except if there is the possibility of it happening without their knowledge/consent, the other person could use even the name for further social engineering. It’s better to not give out any information automatically. Granted the user has to approve a Name Drop share but the screen does display the user’s contact info that would be shared either way, so if the phone is visible to the person trying to obtain the info, they’d still be able to see it even if the target doesn’t approve the share.
It is a bit overhyped since it’s not like someone shady can go around sniffing everyone’s contacts automatically, but it’s still worth tuning off for anyone who is privacy or security conscious.
Hopefully they do a PC port of this one, too, eventually. The first game (and Miles Morales) worked great on Steam Deck.
I have 5 different Orange Pi devices of varying types and they all work well. I don’t have the higher end one that was competing with the Pi 4 and such, but some of the smaller/low end ones. They all run Armbian and do what they need to do for me without any fuss. Given my experience with the smaller ones if I needed something faster now I wouldn’t have any reservations about buying the bigger ones.
The main problem I had was finding reputable sellers, even when I did find one it only shipped from China. Took them a while to get here but otherwise it was fine. I think the more popular/faster models may have some resellers on Amazon that ship from the US now.
Stray. There were lots of times I’d perch up high and look around at everything going on below.

Each note in Joplin is a separate Markdown file so there is only a real chance of conflict if two clients edit the same note at the same time. That is much more sync-friendly than an encrypted password database file.
I have yet to hit a conflict but it’s just me editing notes and I don’t usually use multiple things in the same note at once. I did have a problem getting syncthing to work well on my phone (a pixel with newer Android) where it worked OK on my tablet and other devices. I had to hardcode the address of my laptop in syncthing settings on my phone and then it seems to be happy that way.
You can export notebooks directly from Evernote, and then some apps can import them from there. I know Joplin can but there are some others as well.
Inertia was carrying me as well. First it was $35 for premium, then $70 for several years, and then last month they announced it was going up to $130 and that’s when I bailed.
At $70 it wasn’t too bad and I stayed the last year or so also because they actually published a native Linux app that worked on par with the Windows and macOS app. I won’t say it worked great because since they moved it all to Electron or whatever it’s been slow/clunky all around. But at least it was available and consistent.
They still have a free tier but it’s locked way down (2 devices only, and accessing the web site counts as a different “device” from each system).
There is a recent thread discussing Evernote alternatives at https://beehaw.org/post/986939
Personally I exported my notes from Evernote, imported them to Joplin, and setup Syncthing to handle synchronization of note content between my devices. Not exactly a trivial setup but not difficult either. Also fully open source and much more secure.
I wanted to use Syncthing so I didn’t need a server involved and didn’t want to work off mapped drives/network shares. The client devices all handle the syncing themselves so the files are local on every device and kept in sync within a reasonable time period and if they can’t connect for a bit, that’s fine, they can work on the local files and sync up next time I’m back on the home network.
If your NAS has a similar function it can do that natively. Joplin can sync using files on the device filesystem which is how Syncthing works but it also supports syncing through a variety of other servers/services, such as Nextcloud. It’s very flexible in that way.
So essentially you can do it however you choose to do it since they are just plain text files being copied around.
zettlr looks interesting, pity there isn’t an Android app at least.
I may give zettlr a spin for some other Markdown uses, though. It might be handy for use with Jekyll
I thought you could but apparently not, unless I’m not seeing it. I was thinking of the desktop app on Linux/Windows/macOS.
It threw me off since it’s not just a plain text editor but renders some of the formatting even when editing markdown.
You can toggle the editor to be WYSIWYG only and then you won’t see Markdown source.
After Evernote announced the price hike a month or so ago I started researching alternatives. I looked into a bunch of different apps/services but decided I did not want to get locked into another proprietary system subject to enshittification. So my main criteria were:
Both Joplin and Logseq fit the criteria and were good in my testing when combined with Syncthing to copy files around securely. There are a ton of other options out there but they didn’t fit one or more of my wants.
Joplin is a VERY easy transition from Evernote. It can import notes exported from Evernote, has a similar interface, and doesn’t take much getting used to.
Logseq is interesting but it’s going to take time to get used to its workflow since it’s so different. I watched a couple hours worth of videos on its use and it that style may just not be for me.
I went with Syncthing because that means the notes never leave my devices, so there is no need to depend on a server or worry about the security/integrity of the note content. The downside is that syncing outside the house isn’t so simple, though it can be nudged to work over a VPN. Not for everyone.
After spending a week or so being happy with Joplin+Syncthing I canceled my Evernote subscription and went back to the free tier, but honestly I haven’t even opened it since doing that. I haven’t needed anything in it that I couldn’t do in Joplin.
I’ve been looking into Logseq and Joplin over the last week or so, trying to figure out how I want to migrate away from Evernote since they are massively increasing their prices.
What I like about Logseq and Joplin both is that at their core it’s just Markdown files and you can sync them around in a number of different ways however you feel like, including self-hosting, various cloud providers, or locally and securely via syncthing (which is what I chose). With syncthing the content of the notes is never exposed during transit and it’s never stored anywhere I don’t control.
At the moment I’ve moved almost entirely over to Joplin since it’s pretty close to Evernote, but I do plan on trying to use Logseq and see how I like its journaling/block tagging type approach.
I went around and unlocked all the towers and found all the stables before I did 3/4 of the regional quests and ended up with it pretty early on. I haven’t needed it that many times, but it’s been invaluable the few times I needed it.
Going back and forth between Little Kitty, Big City and Tape to Tape.
There are quite a few post-game things I need to do in LKBC but I’m trying to spread things out so I don’t rush through it all.
I’ve maxed out just about everything in Tape to Tape but still have some achievements left.
