I consider obsidian a knowledge base, rather than a note taking app. I use both apple notes and obsidian for different purposes.

Funny that the party of “common sense” and “fiscal responsibility” pushes for technology that either doesn’t exist yet or isn’t economically viable.

Barbie still can’t decide what to do with those annoying bangs.

It’s a really great app. Very smooth works flawlessly and voice quality is great. Also very reasonably priced compared to competitors (no subscription).

I would also add KDE Connect to my list. Not as full featured as android version but useful to quickly transfer files/photos between the computer and phone.

Some of my favourite apps:

1. Voyager - Apollo like web app for Lemmy.

2. Bitwarden - Password manager, I prefer this over keychain as it is accessible on all devices.

3. 2FAS Authenticator - Authenticator app with a handy browser extension.

4. Firefox Focus - Privacy browser as well as an ad blocker that integrates with Safari.

5. FileBrowser - Handy for accessing cloud or samba storage not supported by the iOS files app. Has some other cool features too.

6. Mobius Sync - Syncthing for iOS devices.

7. OnlyOffice - Good Google docs alternative, makes it convenient to quickly access and edit a document/spreadsheet on mobile.

8. Voice Dream - One of my favourite apps. May be special use case, but great app to read and listen to books and other documents.

9. Obsidian - Knowledge base. May be special use case again, but as a student I can’t properly function without it.

10. HereWeGo Maps - Good offline alternative/backup to Apple Maps.

I tried this about a year ago. It was noticeably slower than the native chrome browser also a bit of a pain to manage downloaded files. Still pretty handy to be able to run Linux applications on ChromeOS. I used libre office quite successfully for a time.

Yeah, if their trolley fleet was due for an upgrade perhaps it would make sense. I do wonder how durable the plastic trolleys are long term being mistreated and left out in the elements.

A broker will cost you nothing as your lender will pay them once the loan is established. Another advantage of a broker is a couple of years down the track you can ask them to find you a better interest rate with minimal fuss. As for legal cost I’m not 100% what the going rate is these days. I would expect somewhere between $500-$2000. As the above comment said, a good legal firm is probably not going to be the cheapest. Definitely worth paying for expertise. It’s a small cost in the grand scheme.

My advice would be to find a good mortgage broker. They guide you through the process and can apply to multiple lenders simultaneously. Once you are pre approved you can start shopping. If you make an offer that is accepted on property you will need to engage the services of a conveyancer to sort property handover. Lots of paperwork to sign and from personal experiences it rarely goes smoothly. I would also advice engaging the services of a building/pest inspector prior to handover.
