@marinaepelman If you ever read the supported operating temperature range for these devices, it's actually not that big… -
@siracusa In 7 years it lived in my car, there were times it wouldn’t play music. But this time temps dropped below non-operating specs! - View other replies

@siracusa It was hard to find a replacement in 2015, since my car hookup only understands iOS 6 or earlier… But local iHoarders helped out!

@atpfm (1/2) agree with@siracusa’s case for@TextExpander focusing on powerusers for whom $45/year is worth it. -
@atpfm (2/2) But is a 1 month trial long enough for a new user to discover enough value within@TextExpander? Ramp-up can be long with it. - View other replies

@marinaepelman A power user probably used TE before and would get half off the first year to see if it was worth continuing. That help? -
@TextExpander@wiredfractal existing users, yes. I’m talking about new users, comparing their options for such a utility for the first time. -
@TextExpander@wiredfractal plus, newbies have to pay full price after a trial that may be too short to become a
user and see enough value -
@TextExpander@wiredfractal have you thought of setting up a table of feature-by-feature comparison with competition to expose the diffs?

@atpfm Those of us who use both Mac and PC save money on the new Smile plan. PC competitor PhraseExpress charges $50/yr for upgrades. -
@pingje@atpfm We do NOT charge $50/yr for PhraseExpress. Not even remotely. Please don't miss the bold print at http://shop.phraseexpress.com -
@PhraseExpress@atpfm I didn't mean to imply a subscription. %50 per license per major upgrade. i.e 9->10, 10->11. 1/2 - View other replies

@PhraseExpress@atpfm Based on my purchase history of both products, I save money by migrating to Smile and it's subscription. 2/2

@atpfm Catching up on podcasts but listening to this episode, it sounds like Apple has become the ultimate helicopter parent.#Intervention -
@atpfm electric cars as a future of transportation talk was very retro-futuristic. Felt very Jetsons! -
@atpfm Sweet "crash" / "boot" ad bookends! Love them, but might swap the order? Where did you get the audio? -
@atpfm I would buy a "dash" button that the kids could push after they have put on their pajamas. This could save another 15 sec every night -
@atpfm Haven’t listened yet, but I just shouted “YESSS” at the episode title. Crystal clear. -
@atpfm I liked better the old way of doing sponsors. the new way doesn’t mix well in the conversation
