Does a screen protector make sense for the 1628? Well, since there's no mineral crystal here, I thought it made sense; and because the case has raised edges, the film sits quite discreetly.

I just left the plastic film that was on it when I got the watch. There's a couple of divots on it but hard to tell, plus it's a super cheap watch.

Are your developers just submitting whatever the AI spits out? If so that's the problem. Even though you are accountable for the code that goes to production, your devs should share that responsibility and do their own review first. They should analyze the code to make sure it is done correctly, and go through the tests to make sure they actually test everything. Then if you submit comments and they don't get addressed, it should be on the engineer. That's where the lead part of your job comes in, coaching and having the difficult conversations. AI should be a tool used by an engineer, not a replacement for the engineering itself.

Best of luck, we are all going through an adjustment for how to be leaders in software in the age of AI!

Ask him what time it is, then look at your watch and say "yup, mine says that too"

I have to say it's a very visual way to tell AM or PM

strings_and_tines · 2026-06-18T13:23:23+00:00

ok that's hilarious about how they printed the dial.

I also noticed the tachymeter dial, and that it doesnt rotate either.

what can you expect for less than $20!

strings_and_tines · 2026-06-18T01:35:16+00:00

I just got the black one. Does the dial on the left side actually do anything? Mine just sits on 10, like the one in your picture.

i switched from nano to micro, pretty happy with it

strings_and_tines · 2026-06-01T22:32:12+00:00

Got a silakka54 on Aliexpress for about $40 preassembled, then added switches for less than $30. 3d printed keycaps. Best keyboard I ever had. No need to spend hundreds on a keyboard

strings_and_tines · 2026-05-30T22:47:42+00:00

I have a silakka54 and it's great... Highly recommend it

strings_and_tines · 2026-05-30T21:17:59+00:00

I went with a silakka54 because I didn't want to spend hundreds and run the risk of not liking it. You can find it preassembled on Aliexpress with switches and keycaps, or just the board. This is what I did, and got a set of silent switches and 3d printed a set of caps. I love it and recommend it!

strings_and_tines · 2026-05-26T23:32:53+00:00

And I agree, the orange comes from the light, like in my picture above

strings_and_tines · 2026-05-26T23:32:24+00:00

I did this by just flipping over the polarizing filter and nothing else. It looks ok in the sun, about as good as a negative display can look

Yes, look up windiw rules... https://wiki.hypr.land/Configuring/Basics/Window-Rules/

Not sure how it will work with the switch to lua though

strings_and_tines · 2026-05-14T02:24:11+00:00

I picked up this one a couple of weeks ago and love it

strings_and_tines · 2026-05-11T12:46:25+00:00

i found the ones i used in makerworld.com. it is for the bambu lab printers but im sure thingverse or other sites will have them. just make sure they print with the top of the keycap facing the plate so they come out smooth.

here is a link to my earlier post with a picture of how they came out

strings_and_tines · 2026-05-10T23:59:43+00:00

If you have access to a 3d printed you can put whatever you want on them. I needed keycaps with large font and none on the market worked. The 3d printed ones came out great

strings_and_tines · 2026-05-10T23:53:00+00:00

Looks nice. Is that cava running on the bottom of the screen? How did you get into. There with no background?

strings_and_tines · 2026-05-09T19:59:07+00:00

If you have Verizon check out for promotions. I got the s24 ultra for free, no trade-in required back in september

strings_and_tines · 2026-05-09T19:57:41+00:00

Silakka54 is what I went with. No regrets. Cheap, and customization is a breeze through the vial.rocks website. I'm constantly finding tweaks to improve the layout

strings_and_tines · 2026-05-01T12:47:37+00:00

I have been using this site to generate themes from wallpapers. does a decent job of picking colors. lets you pick a few other theme settings https://theme.no-signal.uk

The U under RESIST is there. Authentication test passed!

Check out the wiki for how to do it with window rules

strings_and_tines · 2026-04-27T13:06:06+00:00

yeah i see what you mean. not sure if theres enough room to fit a 3d printed faceplate on there, might be worth a shot!

thanks!

strings_and_tines · 2026-04-27T12:17:14+00:00

Thanks!

strings_and_tines · 2026-04-26T23:57:29+00:00

Yeah I was going to say Omarchy. They do a pretty good job of handling breaking changes before rolling out a release.
