My 11th gen Intel Framework is my only PC and has been a great machine. I use it for dev, gaming, and general computing. Integrated Intel graphics goes surprisingly far if you run games at 720p - Skyrim, Dishonered, the Mass Effects, and mo

I don't know if it's worth the time, but a userscript to change some CSS and move or delete some elements could make Instagram or FB better on the small phone screen. That's on the long-tail end of my "this would be cool

I've come to prefer websites over apps on my iPhone. I have more control and privacy protections in the browser thanks to my adblocker (1) and even userscripts (2). But it's not just control and privacy; the experience is better,

I interviewed with Wise and was definitely inspired after reading about the company and their founders. It helped that Wise had saved me more than once as an American living in Europe. Amazing UI on their site and apps, too. Interview expe

When submarines were new, people were afraid to get in, and rightly so! I enjoyed Kaj Leers “A History of Submarines” (1) podcast. Like a series of history lectures, each episode builds on the last. I also recommend one of Kaj's source

I keep Google Maps around for a similar reason; Apple Maps works well, but things like business hours are wrong often enough for me to double-check in Google Maps.

Re: Kagi, I heard about it on HN, tried it for 100 searches, then subscribed. When I search for random JS and CSS things, MDN is the first result, and if it isn't, I can downrank whatever spammy site(s) are on top. --- I wish I had a l

Google have worsened backup and filesystem access for power users as they've locked things down; I remember using Titanium Backup on an Android 5 or 6 device to back up my apps and their data, as well as exporting my SMSes and call log

Jacob, what a cool project! It was fun to read, which speaks to your writing skills. On my iPhone SE (2020) the scan-line effect is distractingly low res (1), perhaps because of my lower screen resolution? 1: https://nexus.armyla

Definitely! Case in point, I reported a bug in the iOS ePub reader I was using (crashing on the iOS beta I was running), and the developer responded to say they were working on it. Contrast that with the little bugs I’ve reported to Apple;

My Framework has a Goodix sensor, but I only use it for sudo, not login - which is ideal, as I 'sudo' far more than I log in and out.

I was outraged when I couldn’t find a small, simple USB 2.0 USB-C hub for my Framework! (1) 1: the four USB-C ports it provides aren’t enough for my use; one is occupied by Apple’s USB-C DAC (the Framework’s 3.5mm port is unusably noisy wi

More than a foldable iPad, I'd use an e-ink reader that unfolded to a full 8.5" x 11" size. Folded, it'd be pocketable, and unfolded, large enough to read PDFs.

The title doesn’t reflect reality; “gives up on” rings of finality, but more accurate would be “hasn’t posted in a long time”. For the former I would expect a statement from BBC to support such a policy change. But the title as-is has certa
