If his friend or whoever he was talking about this product, most likely it's in their tracking cookies from them googling it. This is especially true since they are familiar with the product.
I liked seeing your reasoning and method for creating decks. I purchased Anki and have tried using it several times over the years, but haven't found a way to get myself to stick to it. You're right, using other people's decks was mostly boring, and I tried using it instead of reading books.
Having a guideline of how to stick to a process might help.
I thought it was possible he purchased a mobile port? But even then, I checked the Google Play store and iTunes, and the official version from the Anki Open Source Team is free in both cases.
EDIT: No, I'm just bad at looking at the iTunes website, looks like the iOS version is $24.99.
This same thing happened to me -- a compliance review and e-mails about closing my account. I hadn't even changed my name, but got requests for my mother's information. Thankfully I wasn't a seller, but it took me over 3 months of constant calling before I could get it resolved. I was constantly handed off in between customer and seller support before I decided to e-mail jeff@amazon.com. In the end, I was able to suss out that this is some back department of Amazon that does compliance reviews, has a limited grasp of English, will not take direct phone or chat correspondence, and is only good at constantly asking for government ID and offering no other help.
An executive support representative reached out after I e-mailed Jeff and was able to figure out what was going on since all of the previous reps had no idea and kept passing the buck. I was in fear that I was going to lose my buyer's account, and hadn't sold more than $100 on my seller's account.
A tip for anyone else going through this: no one reachable through regular CS channels knows anything about this issue and everyone will tell you conflicting things. The only way to resolve it is to reach out through executive support. I tried escalating multiple times and people would tell me to not worry about it, then I would get e-mails asking for the info again or saying that my account was closed (it was not).
I use a cheap 3.5mm-accepting headphone set [0] if travelling, or a pair of AKG K550 [1] modified to accept a 3.5mm replaceable cable, with a V-Moda boom mic [2]. The boom mic is what makes this combo. It's really cheap, and crazy resilient. I have been travelling with it for the past year and trip over it all the time. It's still going strong, and it's also the best headphone cord I've ever had as well.
That makes a lot of sense, but I haven't seen any hints that it's coming soon. Keep in mind, you really need an upgradable GPU for that, since these $1000 5K displays have a long life cycle.
And it would probably require rewrites of high-performance apps and games to be something closer to client/server setups to manage communication between the CPU/memory and GPU.
There is really no difference for anything but the most demanding applications though.
5K displays won't cost $1000 for much longer. Right now they are premium products but soon they'll be the norm. By then, adding a good enough GPU to the screen will make sense (because your laptop doesn't need to carry - and feed - more brains than needed to push pixels to the built-in display) and, if the user wants more, they'll use whatever is installed in their computers.
I remap caps lock to ctrl, since the ctrl key is also necessary for the command line, and the one on a Mac keyboard is in a painfully awkward location.
And remapping your vim shortcuts is great - when you're not constantly logging in to new instances or (don't ask) sharing logins with co-workers.
As I posted in another thread, I think it may actually be fine to have a different "feel" (touch vs physical) for escape, which is a very special key for us vim users (assuming you don't have it remapped).
I keep seeing posts about remapping but I honestly don't get it why users should be forced to hacks and compromises to replace functionality which had no reason to be removed in the first place.
It's not really for a compromise. I think caps is a much more useful button when remapped. For how often it's used, it should be in a more home-row centric location.
Nope, that's only for the same station. Assuming you swipe into station A, exit station B, and swipe again at station B, you're fine.
If you swipe into station A, realise you got into the wrong entrance, you can usually just walk to the 24-hour booth and ask them to let you in the gate.
