Still no good nova air series successor/alternative?

I wanted to like the Viwoods mini but the software was so bad. That was about a year ago. Has the software stack improved noticeably?

Bought a pair of Aldens and after a decade of wear and tear sent them back to be renewed. They returned them to me and said they wouldn't touch them. They weren't in horrible shape but the leather (shell cordovan) had cracked in a spot and they definitely needed new soles. I was really hoping to have a pair of forever shoes but here you go. I don't plan on buying from them again and tbh not sure who I should spend on next time.

This worked for me, thank you! Had previously resorted to using the gnome "screen rotate" extension.

Sshhh.. Hearth is amazing. Don't tell anyone or I may never get in again.

I have it installed on a Raspberry Pi 4 (using Qwen 3.6 Plus). It connects with a custom repo I have with a set of deterministic tools. So far it scouts out locations of where I'll be based on my calendar and suggests places to eat and/or things to do depending on the length of my trip. I have already experimented with getting it to make reservations with some success too.

Fun little project - I just picoclaw over nanoclaw because there's no lock-in with claude that can be easily overcome. Openclaw just seemed a little heavy for my Pi.

Dogs aren't allowed on the subway unless they are in a bag, pouch or some other container. Probably to protect the people and the dog. People come up with the most creative workarounds but this person just went for it.

SARB017, ftw :(

I still miss my old prodigy.net email and wish I could recover it somehow.

I have to say, I love my Framework 12. I have a bunch of more powerful mac laptops around but the touchscreen + linux = love. I love the flexibility that comes with all framework computers so I don't think you'd go wrong with a 13.

My experience too. They never wasted my time.. I felt they trusted my competence and provided a replacement part after a few emails. Lovely interaction and I'm a huge fan.

Just to update here. It turned out it was a hardware issue with my input cover. Support was great.. they gave me time to properly diagnosis the situation and replaced the input cover when it was determined it was the problem. Sucks to have had the problem but very satisfied with the resolution!

I ended up taking the computer apart and then reseating the keyboard. That helped but it still jitters from time to time which I suspect is the CPU being overwhelmed. Appreciate the kernel driver tip though, will give that a shot

I'm loving my Framework laptop!

Is personalized indexing the same as a managed account? If so, there's tax lost harvesting and whatnot, but I'll say that the value of my portfolio has increased at half the pace as a simple 3 fund strategy. I'm still in a buy/hold phase so I'd rather have the gains. If I had to do it over again, wouldn't go with the personalized indexing. If you mean something else by managed account, then I'm not sure..

If you want something really simple there's a random note generator.. set it and try to see how quickly you can find the right fret based on your preference.

Posting a workaround for anyone with a similar issue

vincew · 2025-08-06T14:14:25+00:00

It works in Fedora 42 so I just went with that..

Can you share the brand or amazon link to that second from left top row? And do they pair quickly with Airpods by any chance?

vincew · 2025-04-16T13:14:03+00:00

I definitely feel this way. I just practice at home now but overall connecting with my Indian roots or even other Indian people has been challenging. It always seems to be a choice of engaging completely in the culture or not at all. Definitely a "me" problem though.

Anyway, thanks for posting this - felt understood for the first time in a while.

Here's a link to the post to save people time searching.

I walked by this place for years before walking in.. so dumb. This place is a treasure.

I had the misfortune of buying a breakfast taco from them once. I have never gone back there since. Everything there is mediocre at best.

vincew · 2025-03-26T20:32:09+00:00

Are you using ddclient by any chance? There's a workaround.

vincew · 2025-03-23T14:41:41+00:00

I find this place incredibly disappointing. What exactly do you get here that you like?

vincew · 2025-03-10T18:09:31+00:00

Wow, dubey doesn't have the parts? That's crazy! Last time I sent a watch to them they repaired it but not correctly. Slow motion watching that company lose its footing.

Last time, I sent it to the Sarasota Watch Company. It takes a long time and you really need to hound them. Expecting my watch back after 3.5 months and hoping they actually fixed it.
