Yup, my friend has some of these that were custom made based on his ears. They seem to be much much better for him as a result. I don't believe they were inexpensive though, at least what he had made.

Ugh, that sucks. I had hoped my experience was a one off situation but I've heard from others over the past few years that they have had the same type of problem.

I previously wrote about how difficult it was to return and get a refund on a Remarkable 2. It was hell. I would highly recommend avoiding them like the freaking plague if you're at all on the fence, because it's a hellacious proc

I subscribe to Readwise, their Reader portion is awesome in that I can subscribe to RSS feeds, but it also gives you a feed email (and a library email, which would be like Instapaper) that you can subscribe to newsletters with and they go d

This will absolutely get me to go back to Halide once iOS 18 hits and I can change the default camera that gets launched from the Home Screen button. In 2025 I'd love to see "AI" disappear from usage. I know I'm not like

I've heard it's really important for bonded pairs. None of mine are bonded like that, but I still wanted to make sure I did the right thing and not make things worse than they already were. I'd highly recommend others do it i

I had to say goodbye to one of my cats on Monday. I found out she had cancer on Thursday after she collapsed. Did enough to keep her around and not in too much pain over the weekend but Monday was the day. I cried my eyes out before taking

I wrote and maintained a tool that was sent to users when something went wrong. Man was I always afraid and stressed that the tool meant to help users when they were already having a failure was also having a failure.

I've never been offered a better deal with Comcast/Xfinity for using their modems or hardware. Renting their stuff is $10/mo and a modem is $100, last I bought something like 5 years ago now, for a higher end one that support

As someone who has very little experience working on a browser, but is interested in helping, could you possibly recommend where a dumb dude that wants to help could get started? There's probably a huge influx of people trying to get i

I believe the PS3 had an option to install Linux on it at some point. No? That would've made it a neat option for classes like this.

The biggest reason I'm moving away from 1Password is the abysmal support for Safari Profiles. It's so bad it's ridiculous. Right now for instance I have a Personal profile, and a few work specific ones around admin, developme

I noticed a "Notes" section in password items. So, I guess in theory you could utilize those. But my biggest one is wanting to store secure files. Think copies of a drivers license, signed documents or various certs and keys. That

FreeTaxUSA is pretty great. I've used it for 2 or 3 years now. Would definitely recommend, and it is getting better each year at making the process easier in my experience. I tend to pay a little bit extra for services I don't nec

Yup, I miss those days. I had computers from an early age, but being connected all the time has had a negative impact on me personally. I've started really paying attention and doing the "Digital Declutter" that Cal Newport t

As an IT and data analytics manager in ed tech, I agree, there is no money in ed tech. I make a customer support rep salary. It's ridiculous.

Man... the world sure makes me depressed some days. Today I've hit the limit of stupid on the internet, time to go home and go for a walk and not think about how absolutely awful some people can be. Not that I've ever had a need f

I also use US Mobile and have been generally quite happy. I need a much cheaper plan than the parent post though. I think I'm at about $18/mo which gets me the unlimited minutes/texts and 6gb of data per month. I'm typic

Interesting, I'll have to take a look at that when I have some time. I may have missed that the first time around. Thanks!

That totally makes sense. I'm not saying there aren't advantages to what is being done, but what is being done does add a level of complexity to it all. I think there is a valid reason for tools like Pharo to exist, I don't k

I don't think that's necessarily what the OP is saying. I agree with OP. Finding documentation to learn to use this absolutely obscure system is near impossible. I seen an announcement about a Pharo release a couple years ago and

The biometric stuff is simply allowing access to the keys. It’s not being used for anything else. Your face or fingerprint being out there isn’t a concern because that’s not, ultimately, the thing being used to generate the keys or anything

This thread seems to be getting some views. I'm looking to break into the Rails work, but it seems rough trying to get into a job doing Rails work as a junior, not quite senior role. I have other development experience, primarily in Ru

Nice. I think I might keep an eye on potential rumors of a Libra 3 or something like that given that the Libra 2 came out in 2021, that's nearly 3 years old. But that gives me time to save a few buckets as well. For now the Oasis is wo

Fastmail has been about the same for me with speed of response. I don't have to reach out to them often, but when I do it's always quick. They also don't have a limit on domains. I haven't seen any price gated functional

Got it, thanks! It seems it's between two devices, the Libra 2 and the Sage, but I keep hearing the Sage has worse battery life (sort of the downfall of the Oasis for me as well). I just like using Calibre since I get a lot of epubs fr
