I know it's not exactly the point, but would you mind sharing what specific mic and headphones you went with for this? It can help to get a sense of what to look for to create a similar setup.

If you're the kind of person who likes the ability to tweak your environment and get things set up just right for you, I'd recommend getting a Kobo and putting KOReader[1] on it. It has the classic OSS problem of bad defaults, but

I’ve been told by a dentist specifically not to brush your teeth after tea. Instead, swish your mouth with water and brush your teeth later. The claim is that the acidity of the tea will soften your teeth and lead to damage from the brushin

Is Snipd able to do audio transcription for private feeds? Private “podcasts” are my main way I listen to audio books. I tried Snipd last year and it seemed to struggle with private feeds at the time. I was sad, since it’s exactly what I’m

iOS has this with the photo album permission at least. You can select to only reveal a select subset of your photos to an app. I assume Android has something similar.

Thanks! It’s always interesting when someone posts some new portal of knowledge into a niche that I didn’t realize existed. Especially when there’s already a nice book summing up the field. I hadn’t heard of NDM before, except maybe tangent

There are no e-ink devices with backlights. It doesn’t make sense for the technology, which is purely reflective. There are plenty of e-ink devices (like Kindles) that have frontlights. Even better are the ones that adjust frontlights based

I think the trick is to be configurable, but with high friction. Otherwise it's too easy to reconfigure away from the minimalism on the fly. I've thought about using Parental Controls on iOS to do something similar. Set a very lon
