Nah, there have been lots of similar threads over the years on HN. There is also at least one "whats the best thing you bought this year?"-post around the holidays almost every year. So I'd say this is totally within HN tradi

GaN charger I started with a 30w Anker Nano, now have a handful in strategic places like backpacks, at work, etc. They are just great. Small, light and powerful. They can charge anything, even my old thinkpads (with an adapter), no more hea

I have this vision of a future where everything just runs off of usb-c and usb-pd. Even today, expect in the kitchen and the bathroom (refrigerator, washing machine,...) you could totally run most things off of the 240w max. Much more so in

Wow, that sounds awesome! Definitely so a "Show HN" when you feel it's right!

Maybe an older Raspberry Pi with its analouge video output, autoload the website on boot and send it some keystrokes via script to start in fullscreen.

I wish this could run as an app on a TV, ideally starting in fullscreen and supporting the remote - I would never need Netflix ever again...

> I have a small personal project of cataloging all the movies that played on television in the 90s. Any plans to publish this list? Would surely make a super interesting git repo for example...

These are all nice features but not the reason why faxes are still so popular in Germany. Its because Germany is years (some say decades) behind on digitizing the country and they need those fax machines to get anything done at all...

Wow, was the US really that far behind? Or is it possible you are misremembering a bit? Here in europe I was already regularely texting way back in 1998 on my trusty Alcatel.

Heck, even in 2002 you didnt need to use your phone for actual calling anymore. Back then you could already (for years at that point!) ask for the local showtimes via SMS codes or look them up on WAP/i-mode info pages. Or was that not

I can't find the link anymore, but this reminds me of the guy who set up a Raspberry Pi to continuously play random Simpsons episodes as a kind of TV channel to watch when you cant decide what to watch.

Interesting, when or which device did you try this on? On my Boox Nova 3, typing via the BT Keyboard is pretty much instant, no noticable delay. Though in Word or Outlook it helps to choose the faster screen mode. No issues in Termux though

I like the idea of Framework, but I just buy refurbed T-Series Thinkpads for those family members - Quite easy to repair too and those drainage holes saved the day again and again. Maybe Framework has those too now though?
