For the Pro, you will want a 3d-printed dock, or a really thin USB-C cable to use with the pogo pin dongle.

With the original X4 discontinued, none of the XTEink products now have USB-C, they all have the pogo pins.

Standard or not, it's not the standard.

While I've had issues doing bios updates on my Framework, it's been more due to the fact that my main drive has too small of an EFI partition to update with the main drive in the laptop (who knows why it takes so much space to upd

That's the app I'm looking for a direct replacement for as well.

Not using YAML is huge.

I think a good way to put it is this: every abstraction is a gamble. There are likely a lot of safe bets, but even choices that once made sense can become an issue later.

There's a font manager in Crosspoint and Witch, you can download that font directly from the device.

I have not seen any support on the mini readers.

My favorite at this point is Witch reader ( https://github.com/jpirnay/witchhunt-reader ). All the features of Cross-point, with better book rendering, and more features. I've tried a lot of the various alternatives

And I see the opposite: Safari is a valuable check on constant additions and bloat to the web platform.

Progress, or constant churn for the sake of Google's stranglehold on web standards?

While true, aircraft fatality statistics generally are not split that way. The 747 is a safe aircraft, but there have been a lot of fatalities associated with it, due to pilot error, terrorism, improper repair/maintenance, etc.

Hard to beat other planes that have not had fatal crashes or hull losses, especially when you consider the Tenerife crash.

But the point of Deno was to try to avoid pitfalls that became apparent in NodeJS, so some over-correction was bound to happen.

Officially? A single cpu G4 tower. Beyond that, I'm not sure.

While I agree in terms of modern browser expectations (and books absolutely should not need JavaScript), I think books in HTML makes a lot of sense. HTML was meant for sharing text documents, after all.

As a crazy person with both, I have mixed feelings between them. In favor of the X3: - Crisper text - Whiter display - Slightly better battery life - Top-mounted power button (subjective) In favor of the X4: - Larger display - Plain USB-C c

More mass = more momentum = harder crash. That's physics.

For the bigger vehicle, perhaps, but a smaller vehicle, even if up to modern standards, is less safe due to the larger one.

Confirmation bias, instant communication, hyper focus on Boeing mishaps, etc.

And here I felt like I was wasting money on an Intel B70 to run LLMs locally.

Beta it may be, but there's a good amount of software and programming language support. The 64-bit version is amazingly stable, even on the nightly version.

Resource efficiency is a huge one. If you are familiar with the Via Nano: it's a SLOW x86_64 chip (sometimes used in thin clients) that feels about half as fast as older AMD 64 cpu. Haiku feels great on a Via Nano, and it's real

I've never seen the appeal of GNOME 3+, the design seems so user-hostile to anyone who has used computers for a while: hiding menus for no reason, having super limited menu options, etc. I'd rather use LXDE, XFCE, or KDE.
