The standalone Google Pay app will be shut down.

Google Wallet (which is almost certainly what you're using) will still be functioning as normal.

And from the article in the OP:

I got ahold of the Copilot+ software and got it working on a system without an NPU about a week ago,

I got your exact same answer, but then I tried again prefacing the question with:

Can you help me with a puzzle?

This changed the answer drastically:

Great! Let's solve this river crossing puzzle step by step. The key is to find a sequence of actions that gets the man and the goat safely across the river without leaving the goat unattended with something it might eat.

Given:

• A man and a goat are on one side of a river.
• They have a boat.

Step-by-step solution:

1. The man takes the goat in the boat and crosses the river.
2. The man leaves the goat on the other side of the river and returns alone in the boat.
3. The man gets out of the boat on the original side of the river.
4. The man gets back into the boat alone and crosses the river again.
5. The man and the goat are now together on the other side of the river.

Therefore, the man and the goat have successfully crossed the river using the boat, without leaving the goat unattended on either side of the river.

I have the same setup - Fedora daily driver and Windows 11 Pro. I recently switched from Windows daily driver and it's crazy how much better my laptop runs with Fedora. Processor temp and RAM usage are both less than half of what they were on Windows.

I needed to use multiple messaging apps for different people

Beeper is a lifesaver: https://www.beeper.com/

You can self-host if you prefer: https://github.com/beeper/self-host

Here you go:

Run the web hosted version of VSCode:

And use Dendron on top of that:

I installed it and had a play, but Anytype is nothing at all like Obsidian. The main feature of Obsidian which sets it apart from other PKM software is that it runs from plain-text, locally stored Markdown notes. The benefit of this is that in 10 years or 100 years, notes stored in this format will still be accessible and useful, regardless of what software is used to manage them.

Anytype looks like a more privacy-focused version of Notion.

Zettlr and Logseq are the only Obsidian-like replacements that I'm aware of.

https://kagi.com/ if you haven't heard of it. Has been working well for me. I went from DDG to this.

Absolutely, but it's a probability game. Between those two options of BW and 1Password I'll go with the choice that has the higher probably of safety.

Because it's closed source, there's a higher likelihood that there is an undiscovered vulnerability in 1Password. Even though it is audited, a vulnerability could be introduced after the most recent audit and you would never know.

For something as mission-critical as a password manager, going with an open source solution gives just that much more confidence that your data is safe. To me it's simply not worth the risk to blindly trust a company with my login data, when I could trust a company that displays their entire solution in the open.

Fair enough. I actually switched from Readwise to Omnivore, as I found the Readwise workflow to be quite painful. I use it for getting things into Obsidian, so I don't use the re-surfacing features etc.
