This is a collection of in-depth, evergreen articles covering some of my favorite tech topics.

The company is now scaling back its Advanced plan to 15 TB across three people and blames a variety of supposed abuses, including cryptocurrency mining and sharing among unrelated users, rather than teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I&#8217;m guessing most Advisorator subscribers are unaffected, I bring it up as yet another example of companies reneging on unlimited storage after users dare to take advantage. (Another example I haven&#8217;t seen much publicity about: iDrive quietly discontinued its unlimited photo storage plan in favor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idrive.com\/photos\/\">a more limited offering<\/a> earlier this year.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/3053604\/why-the-promise-of-unlimited-cloud-storage-keeps-getting-broken\">wrote about this phenomenon<\/a> for Fast Company in 2015, and the story holds up pretty well today. If you see a company advertise unlimited cloud storage, just assume at the outset that it won&#8217;t last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Threads in the browser:<\/strong> Instagram&#8217;s Twitter alternative Threads is now available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/\">on the web<\/a> after launching on iOS and Android in early July. I still don&#8217;t particularly enjoy it\u2014at least not compared to the geek-hippy vibes <a href=\"https:\/\/writing.exchange\/@Newmy\">over at Mastodon<\/a>\u2014but at least now it&#8217;s possible to check in without using a phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-button-color-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-button-color-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Tip of the moment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"748\" src=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bearnotes-1024x748.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bearnotes-1024x748.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bearnotes-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bearnotes-768x561.jpg 768w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bearnotes-100x73.jpg 100w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bearnotes-150x110.jpg 150w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bearnotes-200x146.jpg 200w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bearnotes-450x329.jpg 450w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bearnotes-600x438.jpg 600w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bearnotes-900x657.jpg 900w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/bearnotes.jpg 1258w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to test a new notes app:<\/strong> Last week&#8217;s column on <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/2023\/08\/22\/8-22-2023-my-nerdy-new-notes-setup\/\">my Obsidian notetaking setup<\/a> prompted a bunch of questions about switching from something else (most notably <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2023\/07\/evernote-the-memory-app-people-forgot-about-lays-off-entire-us-staff\/\">Evernote<\/a>, which has been struggling lately).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Obsidian does have <a href=\"https:\/\/help.obsidian.md\/Plugins\/Importer\">a bunch of import options<\/a>, my advice is not to go whole hog right away. If you want to try a new notes app, <strong>pick one specific use case<\/strong> for testing purposes. That way, you&#8217;ll get a feel for how the app works without getting overwhelmed by all your old notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my case, I started using Obsidian instead of <a href=\"https:\/\/typora.io\/\">Typora<\/a> to write my story drafts, but still used Notion for general notetaking. This went on for a few months until I was confident about replicating my Notion workflow. (Even then, I left some Notion content behind and focused on setting up a better workflow from scratch.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a related note: I just put together a list of other notetaking apps worth checking out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90945231\/field-guide-to-apps-for-notes\">over at Fast Company<\/a>. (Use <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/AoyF9\">this link<\/a> if you hit a paywall.) The approach holds true not just for Obsidian, but for any notetaking app you might want to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-button-color-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-button-color-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Now try this<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"610\" src=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/linkcleaner-1024x610.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/linkcleaner-1024x610.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/linkcleaner-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/linkcleaner-768x457.jpg 768w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/linkcleaner-1536x914.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/linkcleaner-100x60.jpg 100w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/linkcleaner-150x89.jpg 150w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/linkcleaner-200x119.jpg 200w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/linkcleaner-450x268.jpg 450w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/linkcleaner-600x357.jpg 600w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/linkcleaner-900x536.jpg 900w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/linkcleaner.jpg 1616w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Share links without junk:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/linkcleaner.app\/\">Link Cleaner<\/a> is a handy little site that removes unnecessary cruft from web links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Websites often add tracking code to their links so other sites can see where their visitors come from.
