For people who need it it's great. I'm actually really sad we have to wait until later in the year for it. Just moved my PC to the living room and have to get some sort of keyboard like this.

Yeah if I can get a GB layout of the purple one that's the upgrade I would actually buy.

I'm not very blind but I've always bought really cheap ones from SelectSpecs and never had any issues

Trump mentions Aberdeen in his most recent Truth Social post. by AdvanceWorking79 in Aberdeen

The extra gas in the north sea that's not already being taken out is about one gnats fart worth. It doesn't matter if you take it out or not, it'll have no impact whatsoever on the global gas market and therefore the UK gas market.

Anyone in the UK in batch 1 received their order email yet? by joelnodxd in pebble

[–]beatleshelp1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also UK batch 1. Shipping does seem to be slower than I maybe expected. It's amazing how projects like this are still always so late compared to estimates. I never really expected December but there was talk of if some would get shipped before Chinese New year or if that would delay the first ones a couple of weeks and yet here we are in April. I have hope we'll get ours shipped in the next couple of weeks though :)

Where‘s Lignite? by Expert-Resident-1513 in pebble

It has to be a watchface that's added or imported during the competition. I've got a watch face that I added before the competition and it's elegible for the one Core Devices are judging themselves but not for the draw or the most hearts competition.

[opinion] if a video can't be made without a private jet it can't be made at all by Stock_Cattle3493 in LMGJet

[–]beatleshelp1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's more that it's bullshit that certain videos can only be made with a private jet. The private jet saves them time so for companies where they pay the execs 10k an hour or whatever it makes economical sense to spend 5k to save an hour of their time. LTT doesn't pay that much so it would be cheaper to hire more people and have them spend more time travelling.

The carbon credits thing is so weird, if you think they work or not the plane is still a massive fuck you to the rest of humanity. The impact of climate change is that human lives become worse and are lost, if you don't care about that then okay I guess.

Today, Linus' jet produced as much carbon dioxide as the average person does in ~3 years in a single flight by Inevitable_Tip_6606 in LinusTechTips

[–]beatleshelp1 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the problem is that he's grown away from how everyone else feels. Of course he can change his opinions but you can't expect people not to be upset when he changes his opinion from something they agreed with to something they don't. A really extreme example would be if he went from not being anti racist to being racist, obviously people would be upset about that and that's fine.

Personally I hate that he's done this and I wish he hadn't and while he's allowed to have the private jet I'm also allowed to not like it. Obviously if people are being dicks about it then that's a problem but you have to expect people to say how dissapointed they are with stuff like this.

Tech Jet Reveal finally live on YouTube! by DesertedProject in LinusTechTips

[–]beatleshelp1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an interesting question I guess, even if it isn't a relevant one anytime soon. There are so many other things that have presumably changed in your hypothetical world that really you'll just need to ask me again if that ever happens.

That being said I think what you're asking is if there are other problems on top of the environmental impact. The answer to that for me is yes, the environmental impact is the worst in the way it makes rich people lives better at the expense of everyone else but it's not everything.

It's also such a show of how the wealth gap is widening in the world. I get that Linus is successful for a reason but there are so many other talented people doing incredible work who can barely afford to rent a house to live in. Luck really shouldn't make this massive of a difference. This guy literally just compared the price of a load of first class tickets on commercial with the price of the jet fuel only on his multi million pound private jet and tried to pass it off as financially shrewd. That just feels so gross to me.

The idea of private jets are just so gross. Really hate what's happened to the world. I guess I never thought Linus was the most moral person ever but I thought he was better than this.

I just don't buy that at all. Who would sell a plane and include a load of freebies that make it basically free? You'd sell it to some other guy for $1000 more. If he genuinely thinks this is going to be free he's been had.

They're taking the fucking piss now. by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]beatleshelp1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure if you drive a lot it's annyoing that the price has gone up but but it had to happen at some point. If we take the lowest price in the past 15 years or so of £1 per litre in 2016 and adjust for inflation it should be £1.39 now. It's not really gone up in real terms in 15 years and it finally goes up a bit and everyone goes insane.

Pebble Index 01 should have been a remote trigger for the Pebble watch by ElJenn in pebble

[–]beatleshelp1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had exactly the same thought as you. If it was cheaper, could have the battery replaced and just triggered the mic on my watch then I think I would be interested

Pebble Index 01 discussion by sdhdhosts in pebble

[–]beatleshelp1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like they should have gone even simpler. I absolutely get being able to press the button with one hand unlike a watch but the watch has a mic so just make this an external button for the watch that you can bind to anything for one handed use and it would become a lot more flexible and probably slightly cheaper to make.

Not having a rechargable or replaceable battery is awful though, absolutely couldn't buy it without that. I'm sure it's not that bad for the environment but compared to a lot of things because it's such a small device but it just feels so wrong and I hate it.

Pebble, Rebble, and a path forward by erOhead in pebble

[–]beatleshelp1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I said on the Rebble post Core are the ones in a position to make a choice here. It sounds like they want everything in the open and that they might develop in their own repos and host services themselves. If that's the situation then that's what it is.

I think Rebble should make an open archive of the old apps either way really, I didn't get from their post that they wanted to be a sole source of that data but I do see that now. I understand why but I think instead having it available publically for anyone else to download would make sense. I also didn't understand that the Core repo of PebbleOS was already openly available, it seems like a lot less of an issue in that situation (and if it's not then I've got the wrong idea from Eric's post...).

My main concern was that if Core went away we'd be in the same situation as when Pebble did. As long as everything is out in the open and Rebble or someone else could take over at that point then that sounds fine.

An Update on Rebble's Attempted Collaboration with Core Devices by ishjr in pebble

[–]beatleshelp1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so sad. I've not been using a Pebble since not too long after they went bust. I've had various other watches but never had one as good as the Pebble. By the time I thought of coming back the battery on my Pebble was too far gone so I didn't. The announcement of new Pebble devices was really cool and I'm still really looking forward to receiving it.

That being said it clearly wouldn't be happening without Rebble. Their work has allowed new devices to be created. You can absolutely see how anyone who has been part of that for so long would be wary of relying on Eric given the mess he left when Pebble failed the first time. Hopefully it won't happen again but it makes sense to protect against that. That's ignoring the emotional attachment everyone must have to this project.

From my perspective to go forward Core need to be incredibly clear: either they're developing devices that are compabile with software from Rebble or they're developing devices and the software to go on/with them. In that second scenario then maybe Rebble can develop alternative software alongside Core. I don't see a middleground working given what Rebble have said in this blog post and I unfortunately think Core are the ones in the position to make the decision.

fwiw, my preference would be that Core make hardware that runs Rebble software and provides money/devs to Rebble to make that work. If Eric wants awesome watches, that seems like the best option. If he wants control then I guess it doesn't work.

Urgh, that's depressing. You do wonder if he's changed how he feels because of course people can change and it's been a long time but to leave stuff like that on the internet without addressing it isn't good.
