I use a mix of Evolution[0] (GNOME's Thunderbird) and Geary[1].
Geary has a very nice UI, and can become mobile-like, and Evolution has much more support for automations and other niceities.
There's also alps[2], if you want a web based solution. I love it as well, though Geary is my most used solution.
> As for Windows, not only has kept its hybrid approach throughout the years, Windows 10 (optionally) and Windows 11 (enforced), runs as a guest on Hyper-V, with multiple subsystems sandboxed, DriverGuard, Virtualization-Based Security, Secure Kernel, UMDF.
Any source for this? This seems interesting to read about
This reminds me of an article I read somewhere (probably here in HN) wherein people implementing Banking Services just straight up test the API in Production after a few cycles of mock development, due to constantly having to deal with edge cases not present in the dev env.
My idea was even simpler tbh, I'd make a bunch of m3u files, and rename them with a SHA1 hash. Then just put the hash value in RFID tags. Yes, it's not as remotely extendable, but then again, I've like 5 or 6 offline-only playlists that I keep playing on repeat according to my mood, so I'd be fine haha
Maybe throw in album hashes or something. Extremely minimal, and everything inside the box. There won't be any Wi-Fi connections at all. Of course, this does limit some things, but eh. Maybe I'll add a WebUI for controlling volume and such, but that would be it, I guess :D
How cool! I've been wanting to build the exact same thing as your RFID-MP3 player, but thinking of going with a better DAC to power an amp+speakers combo.
I really, really miss CD and cassette players too. Vinyl is not my kind of thing, and CD Players nowadays are either unavailable or just too expensive for what they are.
My other choice was to just use a RasPi and an actual DVD player as a headless player, but I think doing it with a µC might be much more fun :D
Congrats on your project, though, they both seem and look really fun! Cheers <3
It's kind of weird to me that it starts from $139, a price range where you can buy a 65% Keychron mech keyboard[1], _and_ stuff like the Pinephone Keyboard[2]. The latter is not exactly comparable, since its more like a mini-keyboard stuck into a mini-sized case, but I still feel like $139 is a lot for something that you can't use beyond a single generation of a device. Maybe if it was modular and you could take out the keyboard from the case for easy upgradibility or something, the price could be justified?
It depends on how it's done, I'd say.
On one side, there are companies like Sublime Text and JetBrains. Their subscription model is fair, to me atleast. Also, for most software that HN users would use, they'd likely have alternatives planned or data export methods available, so it's not an issue in that respect as well.
On the other, there's stuff like Adobe which… well, I've no review because it's too expensive anyway lol
