As much as it pains me to mention it here, as I wholeheartedly do not support it for a number of important reasons, something like Metamask and an identity on a blockchain could work for this. The more obvious solution is OAuth (or OpenID C

Your math is correct, but the refresh rates are so low that I don’t see it being an issue. Not to mention that by the time said panel is available on the market CPUs and GPUs will be better. Call it 400 dpi? 450, maybe? It doesn’t seem too

I’m thinking of old Visual Studio syntax highlighting where it primarily uses green and blue. Maybe pick one of those like E-ink panels can already do.

That’s a good point. I think one or two colours mixed with font weights and italics could get us pretty far. Response time is a pretty critical metric for me when it comes to coding. I don’t want to have to wait a couple hundred millisecond

For most reading and writing tasks I think I’d rather have a a monochrome display with much higher DPI with extremely crisp high contrast edges. I hope that keeps improving too. Colour is something I’m willing to go without for this type of

Couldn’t agree more with this. I recently got a PineNote as well and was disappointed with the lack of community organization. The wiki is bare, and the people hanging on Discord and IRC just seem to be hacking on their own things. I am mot

Retooled switches from 2010, yes, but Hyperglides are new moulds as of 2020. Cherry made a fairly big deal out of it at the time. I've heard of people using diamond polishing paste to do something similar.

Possibly a lightweight Kailh Choc linear switch? They’re very soft and quiet, but they have no tactility. The tactile ones leave a bit to be desired. It’s hard to match rubber domes there. https://mkultra.click/choc-switches

It's funny to think about Lenovo making the X1 Nano for big burly guys. It's too bad that laptop switches will likely never see the huge and varied aftermarket that we have with mechanical keyboards. There's a switch for ever

Of all the things to criticize macOS and Macs on, keyboard shortcuts are not it. They’re the gold standard of consistency and ergonomics as far as I’m concerned. I get not being used to them and having different muscle memory.

This is hyperbole. 60GHz cannot penetrate walls and closed doors. 2.4GHz and 5GHz lack the resolution to image you, especially if your adversary only has control of one AP. There are already tons of side channel attacks with existing WiFi a

2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz have decent wall penetration, but 60GHz doesn't. It can bounce off walls to get around corners, so it doesn't necessarily need line of sight.
