The camera is heated so that should not be the biggest problem. I don’t think they have the software to make it work.

I have not had obstacle detection work on the other modules aside from a person being nearby being detected. With that feature you will not see it working from close by, but it will destroy children’s toys, drive over poop, destroy its own antennas by driving under tables, drive against tractors, …

It could be capable one day but not with this software (team).

This company overpromises and underdelivers as if it’s a Chinese competition to do so.

Having experimented with this a lot, I’d say it depends :P

Keyboard only you can get by with 5fps or so, but there’s no real feedback at that point.

15fps is ok and quite usable. Artifacts are the more annoying thing at that rate. 30fps is really more then necessary (though I agree higher is nice on lcd displays).

What bothered me most is the limited contrast, pixel density and limited amount of colors on color eink display.

I did not touch Windows during or after my CS degree. No clue what people are on about needing Windows. It was a challenge on my first job where they preferred us to use VMs instead (I did not and it became the norm because it is better).

Graduated in Europe. We had a bunch going through the same. Campus computers were running Linux too. You need someone to champion it in the year and others will join.

Framework makes it their point but also charges for it. Some big make laptops also allow to upgrade parts.

But lets not forget Linux specific laptops. They generally allow upgrading ram and storage. Slimbook even sold me a newer (but also new) keyboard when mine gave up after 5 years or so. Most parts seem to be available still.

Some brands to look for in this group are Tuxedo, bto, slimbook, starbook. Clevo might work too.

You could provide a (separate) email address for that and hope spam detection is good enough. You can use <a href="mailto:me@example.com?subject=Direct mail message from PAGE">mail me</a> to have them open their mail client. It is wise to provide the address visually too and you might ask them to include something in the subject so you can filter out mailing list spam easily.

Allegedly by showing adds to people who already wanted to buy the product on your site at the last minute, so it appears people came in through the add and bought a product.

I agree to that extent, but I don’t think people will be deterred by it unless it’s not allowed by law.

A car from the early '90s is still driven unless it becomes too expensive for the comfort it provides but safety does not seem to be a consideration for many at this price-point (and I guess at other price points too). Modern regular cars are far more safe than what was typical in the '90s and trucks are far less safe than regular modern cars, yet they’re on the road.

As such, I think people people will keep using it, downplaying the risk involved. Many don’t treat cars as a boring means of transportation but rather as a desirable object. Us humans don’t act very logical when we want something.

Yes? People use driver aids today without warranty and many cars are on the road past their warranty.

Perhaps there could be a high insurance premium if the system seems insufficient, yet that might not stop people either. People are lazy and not very logical.

It’s the same for my old QQS-pro though. Even after some mods, it still just works. Upgrades are clear but not necessary.

mu4e with Emacs

It’s great because:

• process a big bulk of emails quickly
• renders emails in a consistent format, lowering mental overhead
• can link to individual emails in my notes
• many mail providers through the same interface
• custom views crossing many (or some) mailboxes and providers
• emails available offline
• tracking pixels and the likes don’t work
• can search/filter through many mails quickly

It’s bad because:

• requires Emacs, high learning curve
• first setup was cumbersome for Gmail
• rendering emails as text loses some information (rarely a problem, can view the email as html)
• no backlink from email thread to my notes yet (should be ok to write)
• I use another interface on mobile
• I send emails as plain text which is weirdly rendered in some clients (mostly fine, emitting html possible)

This was a really good suggestion. I enjoyed this a lot. Thank you.

jank is a general-purpose programming language which embraces the interactive, value-oriented nature of Clojure as well as the desire for native compilation and minimal runtimes. jank is strongly compatible with Clojure and considers itself a dialect of Clojure.

Looks like they wanted Clojure to have a smaller runtime.

Cool! This was interesting to see.

On the design: It looks like it could be good for laser cutting but I doubt it will do more than CNC engraving wood. Would love to be proven wrong. I think the screws are too close and the leverages too large to be solid enough for cutting. We cpuld simulate it to verify the weak spots. No problem for plotting and laser cutting though. I was surprised by the deflection of the Indymill which has more metal parts.

On the CAD file: I could easily find my way in the file. I generally constrain more (also importing shapes from other Bodies) which makes it more automatic but also more error prone and harder to calculate. It will be interesting to see an assembly of these parts too.

Looking forward to updates from this build.

I’d like to see the FreeCAD file both in the “a bit messy” form as well as in the cleaned up form.

You can manually edit the gcode to see if printing white first works out better. Then search for a more repeatable solution if you often re-slice.

Manipulating gcode looks intimidating the first time but it’s really not that crazy. Cura adds comments to the gcode and you can look up the codes otherwise, I expect Pusa Slicer to do the same. You want to move the whole printing sequence of the white nozzle before the printing sequence of the second black one on the first layer. Keep the setup (heating etc) before that.

We run Taiga and it seems to work fine.

If you want to link to external sources in a structured way and you don’t mind tweaking the looks, SolidOS (ot another SOLID app) has a task list/tracker.

I keep my personal tasks in org-mode or org-roam.

I own this. It is horrible. If the specs were real it would be great, but the specs are not real. It is a 3k black and white monitor with a fixed color filter over it. That means you need 3x3 pixels to resemble a color.

I consider it a scam from Dasung.

Boox on the other hand made a sane black and white display. Much better. I own a Max 2 Pro. Sadly they fail to understand that when you report a display as 20px smaller than it really is over an HDMI port and then rescale the image of the computer display on that, that it becomes really uncrisp. Their suggestion is to use the display with 200% scaling (so you don’t notice as much I suppose).

Epaper is really promising and nice. However both of these companies should either get some real competition or lawsuits.

Depends on the use.

The screen protector serves as a blue light filter too, it’s cheaper than a display, and fairly thin. That’s a straightforward addition for my use but if you don’t have issues with your phone dropping then you could certainly do without.

I very much dislike cases and loved the PH-1 for stating that a phone should be solid enough without a case (sadly it did not survive a 50cm drop on a floor so it did not hold up in practice). If you don’t have much issues with your phone dropping then not having a case makes it so much nicer.

I take more risk holding my phone than I should which means it falls more than average. The price I have to pay is a screen protector and cover. Replacing the display should be easy, but it’d also be wasteful.

I had to replace parts on my FP5. It fell on very bad asphalt at speed whilst cycling in a foreign country. The glass on the camera modules scattered. Display protector broke and the case got some good damage. I was instantly calmed realising it is a FairPhone and knowing I could order replacement parts.

Repairs were trivial and it feels good to have created just a tiny amount of e-waste instead of a large amount. The black aluminium case has some war wounds (scratches) reminding me of the trip.
