@ArcMembership @Scvairy @browsercompany Glad to know you're getting my reports. However, I have no evidence of this because I also don't receive confirmation emails after I send feedback.

[Ben Rosenthal @jamcycler]

@ArcMembership I noticed another error last Thursday: the word "keep" is doubled in the first sentence of Showing Little Arc Some Love. (This would have been easier to locate if you would let me use the Find command on release notes pages.)

[Ben Rosenthal @jamcycler]

@ArcMembership As of 1.20.1, every time I try to submit feedback, question, or bug, I get the error: "Failed to submit the form. Please try again." I have sent a few bits of feedback to Adena as replies to that recognition message, including typos in your release notes.

[Ben Rosenthal @jamcycler]

@ArcMembership I've been unable to submit feedback via Arc for a few weeks (versions). I first experienced this when I tried to send you feedback on November 17, using version 1.17.2, after you recognized me for my past feedback contributions.

@quordle Feedback I emailed to [email protected] was undeliverable — I prefer the high contrast color scheme. However, when sharing my game, the original colors appear. Please enable me to share the same colors I play, just like Wordle.

@rubitrack I guess you don't literally say "free," however the button on your site says "Download" instead of "Buy." I think this was the source of confusion for me. I cannot necessarily "simply download" the app if a purchase is required. Not the same as "Get" in the App Store.

[Ben Rosenthal @jamcycler]

@rubitrack Your website says that Rubitrack 6 is free to download, but it seems to cost $20. Is it correct that the app costs $20 to use non-Pro features, and then one can subscribe for more?

@rubitrack @mefotocz I was working in Brave when it didn't work. I tried Safari and the email window opened. I think the issue is that the website is pushing a mailto: link into a new window/tab. If it loads in the current tab, all should work perfectly.

[Ben Rosenthal @jamcycler]

@rubitrack Is there any way to use Rubitrack to calculate the number of pedal rotations based on recorded cadence during a ride or ride series?

[Ben Rosenthal @jamcycler]

@TwitterSupport I'm trying to add my email address to my account so I can enable 2FA, but it says my address is already taken. Yet, if I try to log in using that address, I'm told there's no associated account.

Hey @Vanguard_FA, what are you even doing? Signatories of the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative were supposed to release interim targets within a year. Your “commitments” are laughable. #VanguardSOS

@macworld The Late 2013 and Mid 2014 MacBook Pro models are also dropped for macOS Monterey.

[Ben Rosenthal @jamcycler]

@jb_nelson_ Yes and—all Macs still have headphone jacks.

Did @sonic service just go down in the East Bay? Our OTA seems fine but devices are all offline.

@jsnell Correction to your “Mac in 2020” article: The first Butterfly keyboard arrived on the 12” MacBook in early 2015, actually 7 months before the Magic Keyboard.

[Ben Rosenthal @jamcycler]

@UnloxHelp Must have been a system glitch resolved by restarting Mac, which I just did. So, all is well. Sorry to bug you.

[Ben Rosenthal @jamcycler]

@UnloxHelp I switched from old Magic Trackpad to new Magic Trackpad. Unlox doesn't seem to recognize it for Tap to Unlock, whether setup or usage. Am I missing something?
