So you're saying it's the same reason Sony can't make a new cassette Walkman? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49025766

Another option, which is ESP32-based: https://github.com/francescopace/espectre

My dad was a prolific family photographer when I was growing up (which I guess we all are now, with our phones). He also meticulously cataloged the photos and used a spreadsheet (f…

I understand zero touchscreens, but what's the problem with power windows? What if you're driving and you want to lower the passenger window?

I used to use (and love) ShortCat, but it got too slow on my ancient MacBook Pro. I switched to Mouseless, and I actually prefer it now.

Committed Mouseless user, here. I use a split keyboard that has a mouse layer, but I almost never use it, let alone an actual mouse or trackpad. Mouseless is so much more efficient…

I thought this was somehow related to Apache Superset. https://superset.apache.org/

Guitars are very much about aesthetics, which is why they're so often strategically placed in the background on Zoom calls.

I just finished restoring the Univox Coily that was sitting in my parents' basement for the past 25 years. Every time I step into the room and see it I do a double take because it …

There's a significant difference between a hostage and a prisoner of war, and in this context that distinction seems highly relevant.

We also re-elected Bush Jr. after he started the disastrous war in Iraq, along with doing a bunch of other terrible shit. Is it really that surprising that Trump was elected twice?…

Ooh thanks for the hot tip on Scoot! I've been using Mouseless ( https://mouseless.click/ ) for a while and it's been a game changer, allowing me to almost never touch the trackpad…

This sounds like the plot to the story Johnny Cash tells in One Piece at a Time, minus the machine gun, of course. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZuJivIwV8o

You mean lasers like this? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/military/us-military-used-laser...

I use Free File Fillable Forms to prepare my taxes. It can be a bit tricky to make sure all the correct forms are completed and the calculations are correct, so that is the exact a…

Yep, I've adjusted the settings, and that has definitely helped. When it comes to real world typing, it feels like I'm using a ridiculous amount of brain power to get the word out …

Yeah, I can't imagine switching to a new layout without using these tools. I'm just struggling to level up in the real world.

I've started using this: https://mouseless.click/ . It looks insane, but it's amazing and I almost never find the need to use my trackpad.

I'm in the same boat as OP. I've used keybr and https://monkeytype.com/ , and while doing the exercises, I get pretty close to the speed and accuracy I had using a standard keyboar…

I just did this last week, mostly using Claude Code. I live close to a major airport and wanted to be alerted when interesting planes are flying overhead. The PWA Claude Code spit …

OK, I went looking for sources and found this[1]: In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency assumes the typical car is driven 15,000 miles (24,000 km) per year. Acc…

Modern cars aren't built as well. Can you cite a source for this? There's no question that they're vastly more complex, but I would think that modern car manufacturing is far more …

I'm never going to ride in the Paris-Brest-Paris, but someday I'm gonna make a Paris-Brest pastry: https://www.seriouseats.com/paris-brest-pate-a-choux-with-pr...

I pay for YouTube Music and I see really inconsistent behavior when asking Siri to play music. My five-year-old kid is really into an AI slop song that claims to be from the KPop D…
