DekuDeals is where you'll want to do that. Lets you get alerts about price drops too from places other than the eShop.

Will be interesting to see how this goes in a year or two.

Personally I've loved Pixelmator and have an old non-subscription copy I still use from time to time. If they're still offering single-purchase versions, my recommendation is to get that. It's an amazing Photoshop replacement.

YW! I'm actually giving an app called Ice a try, which looks really promising. Here's a link in case you're curious: https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice

Personally, I downgraded to V 5.0.51 and removed / re-did the permissions. I also disabled checking for updates. To my knowledge, that's the last known good version prior to the sale.

I’m super interested to see how companies handle this when employees work with confidential data all the time.

What reputation? The company never had one in the first place.

I felt the same way. I could've sworn I played it on Dreamcast a few years ago, but when I asked my buddy (who's a giant gamer) I was corrected that it never hit DC.

It still blows my mind that Toyota single-handedly made hybrids a very successful thing and yet squandered that position to Elon effing Musk. Toyota could’ve been THE market-leader for EVs while still making a killing with the Prius and ICE cars. They’d have a solid lock in all markets.

Toyota has one of the best reliability reputations of any automaker and yet anyone in the EV market (like I was recently) passes them over because they have zero models to sell. Instead of parlaying the Prius’ R&D into a viable EV too, they’ve left money on the table. Hyundai has gone all in and is selling a ton of EVs. I see more of theirs / Kia’s on the road than anything else (besides teslas).

But what about yellowing? This is the sole reason I never buy one. Once a yellow-proof case comes out for the 12 pro, I’m all in.

Replacing the battery at 100k miles as scheduled maintenance solves that problem. I had to change my Prius’ hybrid battery at 150k. Toyota can build a 200k mile reliable car and if the fuel source isn’t up to that standard, make it easily serviceable so it is part of routine scheduled maintenance.

The fact that every automaker except them and Honda have put out compelling and competitive EVs says a lot. I love Toyotas and strongly would’ve bought another. But my readiness to go electric didn’t line up with the 15 years Toyota has squandered to have something to sell me.

Maybe when I’m ready for another car in the next decade they’ll be ready. Until then, they lost out on my business by no fault of my own. I’m not buying another gas car.
