Work gave me a subscription so I use Opus in M365 Copilot rather than paying for my own Claude/ChatGPT/etc. It's a bit quirky in that it won't accept a lot of file formats, but appending .txt to the end works. I also use https://github.com/simonw/files-to-prompt to combine everything into one file which also helps.

I had some extra cash after buying a new PC and decided to splurge on the PowerPlay, thinking it would just be an expensive trinket. I was wrong. It charges the mouse while you're using it, keeping it at an appropriate level (80%?) so that it doesn't ruin the battery by being at 100%. You literally do not have to remember to plug it in or swap out a battery. It's a gamechanger.

To make it really nice, I paired it with one of those XXL mousepads. Cut some corflute or other material that's the same thickness as the PowerPlay, and you can have your own nice large mousepad while having the wireless mouse charger hidden beneath it.

The first thing I thought of when reading this article was https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15567707 where someone created a model that filters Hacker News for articles potentially interesting for them

I have a Libra 2, but I don't think it should be that different.

You log in/create an Overdrive account on your Kobo (Libby is made by Overdrive), add your library card to your Overdrive account and you're good.

Then when you search for books on the store on your Kobo you click the three dot menu (next to the buy button) and "Borrow" will be an option if it's available from your library.

Otherwise after connecting Overdrive you can use the Libby app on your phone or wherever to borrow books, then just connect to wifi and sync your Kobo, and it automatically downloads the borrowed books
