If you haven't you should try a thumb trackball mouse like the Logitech MX Ergo, just move your thumb to move the cursor, significantly easier on the wrist. I've been using it as my only mouse for years.


Clipboard History a la CopyClip for Mac

I'm honestly surprised it's not more widely adopted, the ability to have a shortcut key to access the last X things I've copied to the clipboard has made a huge difference in my dev work.


Yep, saves a lot of annoyance having to keep track of a bunch of logins across SaaSs especially when you need to revoke access when someone leaves, so instead of having to go to all the various services individually to deactivate the accounts, you can just deactivate their Google account or revoke its access to those services.


Ahh, that is a nice and unexpected bonus. Does “Sign in with Google” allow provisioning of new accounts with appropriate permissions for a service/SaaS by an admin? (I’ve only used OneLogin/Okta)


I'm not sure what level of permissions is available with "sign in with google". In my experience, that is handleded within the SaaS. Here's what's happened (at least in the companies I've worked in, which tend to be a bit smaller).

1. New employee hired 2. They get a gsuite account. This gives them access to google drive, gmail, gcal, etc. (This is the provisioning I think you are referring to.) 3. They can now login to asana, zapier, <other saas tool> with their gsuite account, using "login with google" 4. Their permissions within these saas tools are managed by the admins in those tools (not from gsuite). 5. When an employee departs, you disable their gsuite account. Then they can't log in to any of the SaaS tools, since their google account is disabled.

If you want a user to have centralized RBAC or ABAC, you need to use a real IdP, not gsuite in the way I outline above.

If you are using SAML for gsuite, you can use SCIM, I believe, to provision, but that's a different flow than I have outlined above. https://support.google.com/a/topic/6400789 has more on that.


The first screen has a bit of a typo, it says "beaconed" when it should say "beckoned". Looks like a fun game!

I like Tab Scissors: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-scissors/cdoch...

Splits your many-tabbed Chrome window into two windows at your current tab. Useful for when I open up a bunch of tangential research pages and want them in their own window.


You can kinda replicate this functionality by shift-selecting the tabs you need to split and drag them away.


I too like OneTab though I find it problematic. I'm trying out Tabs Backup & Restore suggested farther up this thread as a potential replacement. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tabs-backup-restor...


Any reason why Ghostery over PrivacyBadger and Adguard over Ublock? I switched from ghostery once they added user accounts and there was some suspicion about them logging user data.


This makes me want to write a geofencing phone app that vibrates when you get within ~1 mile of your station.


CityMapper includes this feature (no affiliation beyond being a happy user).
