This looks very interesting, thanks for linking. Can you tell me on the spot (if you have to look it up, I'll do it myself…), if there is an easy way to run Org-mode and sync my Org-mode files from a Mac?
- 0xffff2 6y agoIt's certainly better than nothing, but the number of caveats in their language shows just how hard it is to accomplish. "All the electronics will be made in our USA facility" they say, but I wonder how many components are made in the US? It sounds like it's mostly PCB soldering and assembly that are done in the US. "Fully made in the USA" is an almost fractal claim that can't be literally true unless all raw materials were mined in the US, but even without demanding that level of depth I think calling this "fully made" in the US is a stretch.
