Have you all tried running them against any open source software you use?

Organic Maps and Sidekick Pro

What is Sidekick Pro?

Speaking of laptops. I’ve been kicking around this idea for almost a year now. I wanna make a tool that takes ebay listings for ThinkPads and basically shows them on a table that’s super easy to filter and includes benchmark scores. Kinda like what lab gopher used to be. Lots of people want a good deal on ThinkPads but ebay search for them can be rough because of the fuzzy search. Like if I just want the best deal on a Thinkpad from the past 3 years that’s not easy to search for on ebay. Main thing stopping me is ebay API requires an application and I’m sure they block scrapers to some extent.

F-droid is working great. Hard to say this vs a linux setup. It’s not super lightweight but more than a laptop for sure if that matters for you. The 14 inch one seems pretty monster so at that point maybe a laptop is worth it.

So I’ve gotten to use the tablet a bit now and I would say it’s fine. I might expect a bit more for $170 but because it’s so big I can excuse it. Um, it’s a little laggy, um, just out of the box. It doesn’t have much bloatware, maybe two or three manufacturer apps, but not like Candy Crush and all that junk. My very basic research tells me it’s not rootable. I’m really not sure if there is actually a special technology to the screen or it’s just like a matte screen protector but I sat in the park in full sunlight and was able to read a book perfectly well not quite as good as a paperwhite but pretty close so overall it’s decent and the pen works pretty well for writing and drawing. Compared to how much an iPad costs, I think the quality is fairly close.

This, and because there’s no number it’s easier for them to not have KYC.

You don’t even need a zipcode if you use https://silent.link/ then you can pay with whatever crypto and have an esim where the balance never expires and it works in most of the world. I’ve used it a few months and it’s pretty good if you don’t need a phone number.

Do you have it setup to sync highlights/annotations? how does that work for you?

https://github.com/readest/readest is looking quite promising

I’m not that techy on the screens front but it’s not totally a regular lcd but not as good as e-ink either. It’s kinda something in between. I’ve only gotten to play with it a for a few minutes so far but it’s hard to describe. These pictures do it some justice though: https://www.androidcentral.com/tablets/tcl-nxtpaper-4-fixes-one-of-the-technologys-biggest-hidden-issues

Does the pocketbook app/device let you annotate books? It seems quite interesting but not generally available in the US. Read era does look interesting though.

I posted the nitter link because it’s where they’re announcing iOS is available. The blog post you referred to is older and just says iOS support coming soon.

Really impressive to roll your own mail servers and clients! Do you use AI much to help with development?

Looks pretty great and I applaud the efforts. We need more services like this in the space! Pricing is hard but purelymail.com pricing really makes sense and works for me. You pay based on how much you use it and it lets you add unlimited domains. I’m sure it’s not a great fit for everyone but for light users the pricing is wonderful. If you come up with something similar I’d try your service.

This will fix that too! TheY mentioned it somewhere where

For what it’s worth, the developers also said the backup system is completely rewritten so that now backups will work across platform and are incremental. Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45176074

That’s tragic. Sorry about your loss and hope you can resolve it.

My tip for everyone would be if a cloud provider is offering lifetime plans to be very careful because that doesn’t indicate a sustainable model. Not saying it’s always a scam but it’s not a good sign.

Don’t give them any ideas

Maybe not new, but probably some refurbished ones out there.

Though, I was in Bogota and at a Panamericana store selling new computers I was surprised how many of them were sporting Windows 10 stickers. Didn’t look close enough at the CPUs though.
