Yeah buying one of these without a considerable savings over the Apple alternative would be madness. I sold a Thunderbolt Display for like $350 about 10 years after I bought it and at that point it had been discontinued for something like 5 years. Seemed crazy to me but that's what they were all going for on Craigslist, so whatever. It sold quickly too.

Good luck selling a Samsung monitor for anywhere near that much 10 years after you bought it. So yeah, I think if they can get it down to about $1000 that'd be the price point.

Oh yeah I mean their stuff has absolutely no resale value. Like I said, I think the introductory price is just to see if anyone nibbles, catch those “early adopters” such as it is, who for whatever reason didn’t buy the Studio Display, maybe cause they thought it would be market making and inspire competition.

Is there a !remindme 6months feature/bot in Lemmy yet?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

yep, I just made one today. Just make the first word !remindme or @remindme, or mention @[email protected] and then it should work

[–] JayPalm 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

!remindme December 1.

Cool, we’ll see how that works. You should post about this if you haven’t, these are the Reddit features we’re all used to but aren’t sure about yet.

Yeah ill probably throw a YSK post somewhere. Also you just made me realize I didnt support punctuation. Time to get that rolled out

You should be able to run it without the period on the end of months for now

[–] JayPalm 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yay user testing! Actually the period was from autocorrect. But should specifying a specific date time, like I did, work? Seems like it wants relative time duration instead.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

specific date doesnt work no, only relative time. Theres way too many ways to format a specific date so itll be a bit more work

Sorry, I didn't understand that reminder. Please try again.

Make sure you're including the interval until you want to be reminded.

Example: "Remind me about my dentist appointment in 2 hours"
Example: "Message me in 5 minutes"

For any issues contact my developer: Ategon
