This is a nice 38 minute presentation by one of the authors of the study: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRrDr6WfY4Y It's posted by one of the codebreakers to the Zodiac Killer's code, who gives the introduction.

I figure it's difficult to convey the general sentiment without insulting pictures of actual people, even if through stock photography. They could also have generated such pictures with an AI, but altogether I found the picture-less ex

Here's a boring 1h video discussing all kinds of hand poses. (I think the channel got a bunch of backlash for pro-colonialism or something like that.) It appears I watched half an hour of it, maybe as a form of induced delirium. https

On my similar Devqterm, ambian takes around 30s to boot. There might be hibernation, but I don't use it. I actually like the quasi-instant system shutdown you get with the physical power off button (though I'm sure it's repro

If it helps you temper your hype: it looks like the keyboard is made the same way as the devterm, but smaller, and the devterm keyboard is already a mushy mess of tiny keys. And I've used good tiny keyboards, but that is not really it.

Though I agree with the sentiment, the core feature this seems to provide is stock video integration. And stock media services always require login.
