Is this a cynical play to gain points for the midterms, after which they'll promptly about-face? I do wish the Dems would come out against both surveillance and datacenters, since they're heinously unpopular, but most are too cowa

I do agree, but I am glad the option exists, in contrast with competing readers on the market. And I am very glad that it is an option that requires zero talking to activation servers or other infra. The way they implemented this means that

I love that Kobos can still be set up completely offline. At the setup screen you can mount the device, set a flag in the config file, unmount/reboot, and boom, it's ready for your books. My Clara BW is my daily driver. As much as

Feeling like my Pixel 9 Pro was the best timed hardware buy I've made in recent years. The 10 dropped the physical SIM slot and Google started with their device tree shenanigans that year, with little to no improvements in exchange. I&

New tablet support is very compelling! The Pixel tablet hardware is... passable... but Graphene on something more refined would be amazing! Especially something with a keyboard cover available (no idea if Motorola does this).

If you want a coin-cell powered watch with a couple of years battery-life, but still want notifications, the G-Shock GBD-200/300s have this feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCq1ei5cT_8 It's not great... bu

GrapheneOS on a flip is my dream. I tried with the ZFlips a couple of times but Samsung's kitchen-sink approach is just not for me.

Every time I've seen a card capacity limit like this, someone tries a bigger card and it just... works.

Disappointed they don't have a wireless-charging-enabled backplate. And I was just about ready to pull the trigger... I know wireless charging is wasteful... but I've got magsafe pucks everywhere in the house/car now... Let m

> The streaming services also don’t come with who knows what malware like pirated media can. How does one put malware in media? Are we talking exploiting unlatched vulnerabilities in codecs, or are we talking random exe files?

Assuming it's like previous Light Phones, it's Android with a custom launcher and proprietary app framework.

I want to love all these "alternative" phone projects but shipping Android 14 in 2026 is just a non-starter. IIRC the Sidephone also runs an old version (12 or 13). Why does this keep happening?

I wanted to love my Garmin watches so much. I've tried a couple of Forerunners and an Instinct 2S. The hardware is great, but the software UX is so poor... I had to memorize an archaic maze of presses/long-presses to get to variou

There's plenty of ways to make games outside of Roblox. Maybe they could sit down together and work through some Löve2D or Godot tutorials? No one can take that away arbitrarily

> A question is whether infrastructure needs to be built. Unfortunately, yes. Because we live in an economy that only works if things grow, we can expect life to be worse if things don’t grow. The infinite growth beast cannot be sated.

Establishment Dems looking at the GOP's plummeting approval rating and looking for ways to sink their own numbers, faster. Like cutting your own brake lines after you watched your opponent drive off the cliff in front of you. --- Also

This really resonates with me, and reminds me of all that I've missed in the years since COVID and going full remote. There's magic in a room when a mob programming session results in a breakthrough that just can't ever be re

I fondly remember loading up a janky version of MAME that only ran Pac-Man via the newly discovered kxploit on my PSP in ~2005. That sent me down a two-decades-long road of fiddling with so many devices, making them my own. I have huge resp

I'm interested in the hardware on this... does anyone know if this laptop can boot arm64 Linux natively? Perhaps with an alternate bootloader install? I've read about plenty of other Chromebooks that can do that, but I can't

Would be great if we could buy/drive these in the US. Funny how we have a "free market" only when it is convenient for certain interests...

Also true on my 2020 RAV4 and 2025 Tacoma. I tried a 2025 Ford Maverick for a year before I traded it for the Tacoma. All the AC/Heat/Etc controls were on the screen. Couldn't stand it. Put me off of ever considering a new Fo
