   Wow, I’ve seen their gaming handheld before but didn’t realize they had such a range of other devices.

   Thanks for the recommendation, I signed up to see where this goes.

   Interesting - I just received my Steam Deck, it’s rekindled a love of gaming, but I haven’t even started exploring things like that on it.

   The Pocket CHIP created this itch for me, but the keyboard on that thing made me realize how everything can be so good and just completely fall apart around one detail. So, I'm leery about this and other things like it. I want a port

   I really want to support and try the Framework, but my experience with Intel lately has mirrored this. Poor drivers, weird iGPU issues. Even my last Intel MacBook Pro had some issues. That, plus it’s puzzling to me that perhaps the most via

   Sometimes, and it depends, but far more so than others in my experience. Perhaps most famously, when Nvidia manufactured defective GPUs, Apple launched a repair program at their own expense [1], and IIRC the fallout from this is what (at le

   I really enjoyed the way this article was written. I took a couple semesters of Japanese and this is the first I've heard of "aizuchi". This article connected several dots for me :)

   I think the reason they might appear rare is because the number of desktop apps that depend on a remote server for functionality are less common. For example, a photo editing suite, word processor, or code editor all have the expectation th

    It’s often not a matter of “add a wrapper to this one CSS rule” but rather, “add a wrapper to ALL of these rules and some of this inline CSS scattered everywhere”. This is why, as part of a baseline of proper software engineering, it’s so i

    I’ve been reading a lot of Dr. Jason Fung’s work, which is based on this theory. Anecdotally, I very much concur that weight gain is ultimately a function of something hormonal, and likely related to insulin. Running on a calorie deficit ha

    When I bought my first MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, it was a magical experience how it was designed and how free from constant nagging everything was. It felt like a complete, designed product. MacOS and the rest of Apple’s offerings a

    I don’t really understand. Open standards are great. Forcing every company by law to adopt a single open standard will have positive implications more so than not having any open standards, but it will also very much lead to the same concer

    It doesn’t actually matter if there’s an everything app or not - even markets with competition, like the US news media, or even our current social media landscape - are subject to the same concerns of cohesive and authoritarian-like control

    I had only recently learned of No Agenda from an acquaintance a week or two ago. Very interesting perspectives! I plan to listen more regularly when I can. I bought a Beelink mini PC a few months ago because theirs stood out as a solid AMD

    I’m very happy with it, no regrets. It has flaws, but nothing that prevents me from enjoying working with it on a daily basis. I have no issue with the resolution of the screen myself - it is a 14” screen, which is great for portability (mo

    I love the classic box art, and love the concept of building new tools for beloved legacy systems like this.

    That same concept, but one step removed if you will. The classic example is a data table with a text field that filters/searches the results, pulled from a server. Let’s say you want the results to update “live” as the user types, with

    Hate to sound hypercritical, but this article reads like disrespectful clickbait. Don't get me wrong, it has some very insightful thoughts, but poorly and deceptively framed. It starts by telling me that (non-fiction) books are somethi

    I’ll admit, I read the article solely to see if they acknowledge the pun. They don’t, leaving me to wonder if the pun was even intended. Had to be, right?

    Seems like something that could have been made safer just by name spacing it a bit better. Something like “window.elements.myDiv”? I wonder why the decision to go straight to the root.

    Thanks for the detailed description. Might still consider it, or at least look for a cheaper Chromebook just to play around with and get a feel first. At any rate, Chromebooks sound more capable than I previously gave them credit for, enoug

    Interesting to see they have a super key-less keyboard for this. I’m really hoping they release a standard keyboard with a generic “super” key instead of a Windows logo at some point.

    This is actually the first I’m hearing of Chrome OS supporting Linux apps out of the box. I always dismissed Chrome OS as a glorified iPad or Android tablet with a keyboard and desktop. I’m mostly happy with my Linux-based HP dev one, but t

    I understand your frustration, but I think you’re missing what is actually meant to be a helpful takeaway from this. Essentially, all these frameworks ARE part of a cycle that repeat, and in time we all start to see it. Most of them just it
