Was going to reply that I would probably consider myself a power user of my Casio W-736. Features I use: - Check the time (many times daily) - Count-down timer (many times daily) - Stop watch (weekly) - Check date (a few times per month) -

"when the bit count increases yet again". Maybe I lack imagination, but I doubt we'll be needing to address more than 18EB in personal computers for a while longer than 20 years.

As someone who one week ago switched from a Debian to NixOS setup, using docker compose, I'd be very interested in hearing more if you have any resources or tips to share. I was hoping to move over to running rootless containers, but s

Also curious what MCUs you're working with to give you this impression? RP2040 is 264k, RP2350 is 520k. I use NXP's rt1060 and rt1170 for work, and they have 1M and 2M respectively, still quite far away from 16M and those are quit

My approach for number 3 is to look at previous months and escrow money for it every month, and then pay it off once the bill comes due. From the accounting side you only see the monthly cost of the bill, even though it looks big on the ban

Having implemented a custom matrix in qmk, I can say the timescale involved is not something you'd notice a difference between diodes vs diodeless. On ARM boards there's a setup delay to let the gpio propagate before reading the c

I started my ergo-keyboard journey with a corne. I ended up having issues with the thumb cluster positioning and built my own prototype on new years eve this/last year. That board features four thumb keys, six columns, with four rows f

I definitely don't have an inner voice. I certainly can "enable it", for things such as composing this reply. But in general I'd describe it as a stream of thought, not bound to any language. Then when I need to actually

As others have suggested, be kind to yourself. Inspiration comes and goes, and the key is to ride it when it comes. I used to feel a strong need to work on side project early in my career, that I had to keep up with trends and test out new

Now I'm curious about how you manage to get such large screenshots. I just tried and with a total resolution of 5120x1200 (over 3 monitors) I get a 35x difference between a random song in FLAC (28Mb vs 729Kb)

I always reach for the non-ratcheting screwdriver when working on electronics. I find the ratcheting mechanism on all drivers I've used to have too much resistance and just start screwing the screw back in rendering it useless and bulk

A bit OT, but at least for the Game Boy you can pop the cartridge (front of the case off) into a console (GBA is especially good as it only covers part of the cart), power it on and then replace the battery. The game save will remain. Or yo

Sure, and I'm sure that adds a few cents to the price of those goods. Doesn't negate that it's a good time to not have to pay for gas for personal transportation. I left the US for Spain in February and sold my car before the

Meanwhile, current gas prices here in Spain is about $8/gal or 2€/L (my native Sweden is even worse at $8.7/gal). Good time to not own a car.

For what it's worth, I'm the kind of person that would pay full price if I saw and clicked the "It's too expensive" button :)

The best Android phones I've had were Nexus 5 and Nexus 5X. I thought the 5X were a little bit bigger than I prefer, but over all a great device. After that I went through a bunch of different phones, first a cheapo Motorola at 5.7&quo

And then their sign-in page doesn't truncate it and it just fails to login... Absolutely love it! One of my favorites was Nintendo's user account. The web allows decent passwords when created, but then the actual game console only
