Technically correct, but that's not how it's actually used. Gigabit is not used in any meaningful context outside of as a measure of data transfer rates.

Because gigabytes (GB) are units of storage capacity, and gigabits (Gb) are units of data transfer rate.

It's implied it's gigabits per second, as no one ever really measures it in like... Gigabits per hour, or year.

We pay 4.58€ for 1gbit/1gbit fiber in our condo association in Sweden...

If he did it, I can see how some people can defend him (myself not included), but the point is that we don't know if he did it, and the media has sort of framed this like it's a done deal when that doesn't really seem to be the case.

That alone is worth little injustice to avoid the potential cringe.

You could've avoided the cringe that is your comment by withholding it.

Alright then...

I don't understand why these Google alternatives don't lean hard on actually replacing Google's services.

Myself as an example; if Notesnook had collaboration, I'd switch in a heartbeat.

Thr main use-case for an app like this for me is in things like grocery lists, to-do lists etc, all of which are impossible or annoying to do with Notesnook.

For general offline notes that need to be encrypted there are other solutions I'd rather use. I'd like if I could just use one app for it.

Me and my partner would HAPPILY pay for an app to get out of Google'S clutches.

There's money on the table, but they ain't counting it yet.

Why?

 

One of the heaviest touring bands out there right now (possibly ever).

Life-altering video for me.

The frontman (Ethan Lee McCarthy) doesn't get enough credit and is a huge inspiration in a multitude of ways.

 

I wish they'd come back and put out another album. There's nothing like them.

 

I really wish they'd put out another record. If anything, I wish someone had the balls to rip them off and make more similar stuff, heh.
