The alternative in Dia, WHICH SHOULD RELIABLY WORK BUT DOESN'T, was to use the AI chat and tell it to give me all the tab URLs or a more specific request, because oftentimes it kept interpreting that I didn't want the tab URLs but all the URLs found in each tab's webpage 😡

But in Dia, I would have to save them all as bookmarks and then navigate to my bookmarks window and reselect all those tabs again which then I'd have an option to copy the links.

A really huge pain point I had multiple times with Dia was trying to copy specific tabs and get all the links. This is a built-in feature in Arc. When you highlight/select a bunch of tabs and right-click on them, you can see a "copy links" button.

I'm not close to the Outer Banks in NC so I'm not affected or close to being affected at all this time around.

Yup. I “hacked” my desk/bike setup so it’s behind my couch with a perfect view of the TV so when I’m not working I still can bike and just watch TV since I’m usually a couch potato. The only problem is that my desk is giving me an error code that I haven’t fixed yet and can’t lower at the moment😅

In my opinion, it works better if you don’t have to keep pulling your walking pad out and putting it away and have a dedicated desk for it, but that’s not reasonable for a lot of people.

Also for those that want a cheaper standing desk… this one is a manual standing desk. That metal bar at the bottom can be taken off and is still very stable so you can slide a treadmill or desk. Manual crank is great if you don’t switch between sit/stand that much. www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-46-i...

The key is to buy a “recumbent” bike because they have larger seats versus the ones you might use with Peleton classes with tiny seats to encourage you to exercise harder.

I am doing a recumbent bike desk setup where I took the front piece off a Nordic Track bike and put it under a standing desk. I haven’t been able to test it fully because my standing desk is giving me an error code and I can’t lower it at the moment.

I have a walking treadmill and I loved it! It’s a bulky one though and was annoying to navigate in my apartment due to surrounding items so I put it away.

I'm not sure how limited the API is, but imagine triggering Claude commands on the go! Since there is no auditory feedback + I'm sure you'll need to clean up the transcription when referencing code, it probably won't be that great, but still!

Ended up putting in an order. I can't communicate how much I wanted an AI notetaker tool that has a developer API. Thanks for sharing!

I won't get mine until September though :(

I read that import in a Yoda voice.
