Unusable for me because it needs to be scaled fractionally. Unless they come out with a v2 which supports integer scaling, the laptop in its current form isn't worth buying if you don't like high input latency.

Sure, that's okay, it helps build TUIs rather than CLIs. I'll gladly take TUIs over their GUI counterparts in most cases except where it isn't practical such as image editing. A good example is the lf file manager. https:&#x

> You're describing the Thinkpad T14S. It doesn't seem to have a proper 14 inch HiDPI display. 1080p on 14 inches usually needs anywhere from 1.2x to 1.4x scaling and 4K would need around 2.5x scaling.

It would be better if the age specific code could be included upstream. This should, however, serve as a good point of reference.

Besides pass-tomb, there's also pass-coffin which doesn't need to rely on a 3k+ line ZSH script. I'll add support for using age and signify in pass-coffin soon. https://github.com/ayushnix/pass-coffin

by ayushnix 5y ago
FWIW, adding support for age in pass is listed as one of the goals of age. I'm considering sending an upstream patch in pass to support age and signify as well.

by ayushnix 5y ago
No DNS based solution comes anywhere close to what uBO offers. You can hide elements you don't like. You can block individual scripts or resources in a web page, even if they are first party resources. No DNS sink solution can do that.
