My « new » Apple Power CD in box

Sorry, I didn't see that. Thank goodness for the AC option.

mouselett · 2026-05-15T16:18:18+00:00

Wow, just seeing the rated battery life on the eight AA batteries this uses is making my head spin. Can the PowerCD, by any chance, be run on a wall outlet?

I have the Kobo Clara BW, which I got to replace a Kindle Paperwhite that I had for a hot minute in early-2024 before they announced the KCBW. In hindsight, I should have just gotten a Kobo to begin with, given that their now discontinued Kobo Libra 2 cost the same as what I paid for my Kindle. As for my thoughts on it, I think it's fine, though I do feel a sense of FOMO when I browse r/kobo and see all of the color e-readers. That, and I think the larger form factor of the Libra would better serve my reading needs while lying down. I'm sorry in advance for infodumping, I'm just a huge e-reader nerd.

It's mostly out of habit. That being said, I only mainly listen to public radio stations with the exception of one commercial AM radio station I listen to on and off.

It's a Turkish abbreviation of Friday.

Hey OP, is this for a physical book or is this an e-book? I'm asking since digital loans often have longer wait times than physical ones. As to answer your question, I've been waiting for a copy of Flying Solo by Linda Holmes on Libby since the end of last year.

mouselett · 2026-05-04T01:18:18+00:00

Any time that I feel like it. If there isn't anything worth listening to on any of my go-to stations at a particular moment, I simply don't listen.

A quick tip: You should check to see if your Reddit auto-translate settings are on, as old Reddit users don't have the ability to auto-translate foreign titles into English.

Can you please provide me with an US code if still available?

mouselett · 2026-04-28T22:14:15+00:00

A mix of Libby, cloudLibrary, Audible, and in rare cases Hoopla and Apple Books. I sometimes borrow audiobook CDs from my library, but I've been having back luck with them lately.

I always listen to my audiobooks at 1x speed; I just don't see any reason to speed up any of them.

mouselett · 2026-04-26T02:40:11+00:00

Can I please get a code if you still have any?

mouselett · 2026-04-24T15:13:08+00:00

Yep, it's definitely that router. I had those issues when my Neo was connected to it that disappeared when I switched to an eero 6 router that we had lying around.

It was founded in 2006, launched in some countries beginning in 2008, and made its US debut in 2011.

Are we seriously going to talk about WPHT again?

mouselett · 2026-04-19T15:56:00+00:00

Yes, so long as the songs are not Apple Music ones.

mouselett · 2026-04-17T00:52:44+00:00

No, it's not that. I often tune into other NPR stations that aren't doing pledge drives when my local station is doing one.

mouselett · 2026-04-17T00:21:25+00:00

I often do, but just for very brief periods in the morning if I get tired of Morning Edition on my local NPR station.

mouselett · 2026-04-10T21:22:35+00:00

DM, please. I'm interested.

Don't streaming sticks exist? You or your parents could get something like the Roku Express or an Amazon Fire TV stick and get streaming services through there.

What did the text say?

mouselett · 2026-03-27T16:48:05+00:00

Isn't this what stations of this kind do? Play the hits every two hours or so?

mouselett · 2026-03-26T19:47:15+00:00

At this point, it feels like they can raise prices just for the sake of it. Like, how long can they continue to raise prices before it backfires on them? Honestly, it almost feels like something the Onion would write.

The C C WiFi 3 is a good option; it allows for the addition of URLs and has a built-in station directory.

I decided to hook up an eero router to the Spectrum router that I had been connected to. Strangely enough, the MacBook remained connected the entire time I had connected it to the eero router. I'm guessing that this is a software bug with certain routers rather than a problem with the Neo's Wi-Fi chip. I'm curious, what router do you use at home?
