The most technical thing I've used it for was a compsci textbook or a manual (either O'Reilly or similar) and it looked pretty alright under Nickel iirc. Depends largely on whether the code is rendered as text or an image.

My Kobo Aura H2O edition 1 is amazing. E-ink looks good, battery lasts awhile, waterproof, and you can jailbreak it and install custom firmware if you wish. There are alternative reader packages for it that are great, but the base OEM one N

This looks great so far. I'm gonna play with this soon. I ask this about every voice assistant project: Is the wakeword changeable, or can I set it to multiple?

This is really neat! It's really nice to see a desktop environment with i3 ready out-of-the-box on a distro. I also really like the theme - the name, the moon wallpapers, the UI style, etc. This will probably become my go-to for a Ubun

As we are embarking on some beautiful philosophy on this thread, I feel inclined to try to contribute. It's definitely the homogenization and corporatization, and the ads and paywalls, tracking and privacy issues, etc. Perhaps this is

I know of a small company run by a retired man, that designed and installed several industrial control systems. All of these are air-gapped and run by very old computers on DOS 3, I think they might be 16-bit. It's run by him and him a

I think that auto manufacturers are desperate to prove that an electric car isn't a little wimpy thing. Tesla proved that it can be a great sporty car and family SUV. Now they all want to win over the demographic of people who want a h

I recently got my first real tech job, and had sizable disposable income for the first time, and the first thing I thought of was ThinkGeek. I used to eye the site all the time as a kid, but never had more than a hundred bucks to spend onc

Nice goalpost scoot. I'm telling you that if you ask any autistic person, they may express dissatisfaction with their autistic troubles, but they would tell you they would not want to be "cured" or "changed", becaus

It's not so black and white. Most autistic people aren't distinctly "low" or "high" functioning like that. They are otherwise fairly average people with a few traits that make things difficult, and appear &quot
