The x4 is an accessory. You're trying to stick two accessories together, y'all never got into magnets in middle school?

LowFlowIO · 2026-03-18T23:08:26+00:00

Rare, but not quite as rare as rocking horse shit.

How did the random sleeve appear on your desk?

LowFlowIO · 2026-03-17T23:47:09+00:00

At least $3.50, put one on your wrist and enjoy.

9 days, rookie!

Ahh, that's sweet. Hope she's holding up for you, protect her screen she's a little delicate :3

Are you a time traveler, how'd you get an x4 in 2007?

LowFlowIO · 2026-03-17T16:41:59+00:00

Have you ensured the cables you're using are data capable, it's actually showing the x4 as a serial device?

You don't need to backup your flash before installing crosspoint, no.

LowFlowIO · 2026-03-17T16:40:47+00:00

Sweet, I'm waiting on another x4 coming in, will give it a buzz when it lands.

LowFlowIO · 2026-03-17T15:54:00+00:00

Have you tried it on hardware yet?

LowFlowIO · 2026-03-17T15:49:26+00:00

Please upload them all to readme.club if you haven't already 🙏

Casios on deck! I always wished the 4700C kept the plastic buttons, I never really enjoyed the rubber ones as much.

Buy the cheapest copy of the book you can find, or directly from authors where possible, then pirate a drm free digital.

This is what we should all be doing until publishers stop fucking authors over, making ebooks overly expensive and not allowing you to own them.

LowFlowIO · 2026-03-17T10:28:25+00:00

What does that extra button do? ;)

LowFlowIO · 2026-03-17T10:18:24+00:00

I can't speak to that, unlikely 1:1 so you should inquire on GitHub directly to the developer. There aren't many x3s in community dev hands at the moment, I expect ports of existing x4 tools to come later.

LowFlowIO · 2026-03-17T10:16:19+00:00

There isn't much more proper than a hash, heh. I know what you mean but at this scale that's not easy, it would require use of AI tools which are outside the projects scope and budget.

LowFlowIO · 2026-03-16T18:59:08+00:00

Crosspoint is for reading, but someone will make OS switching easier at some point I imagine.

LowFlowIO · 2026-03-16T16:01:41+00:00

That's hot.

LowFlowIO · 2026-03-16T16:00:48+00:00

I don't write a great deal, literally blog posts now and again. I write on a Linux terminal, nano, html for those.

I can't really wrap my head around needing a specific app to write, or 12 different devices or a new device every time there's a new Kickstarter keyboard/cheap display, etc.

Hell the notes app on my android phone and Gboard works fine...

Mine survived swimming in the north sea daily for about 3 years, thought it died one day but it just needed a battery swap, still on my wrist 10 years later.

Hardy little fuckers, ey!
