I have a Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. I’ve been able to upload pretty much any relevant media, primarily epub, pdf and images. I just use send to kindle via web or email. It’s not censoring or rejecting content. Not sure what benefit jailbreaking would have.

Part of it is that the data pipelines in the Mac are far more efficient with its soldered memory and enhanced buses. You would have to use something like Halo Strix on the PC side see similar performance upticks at a somewhat affordable price bracket. Things like Samba/VPN mounting should not matter much (unless your mac network interface is significantly better), but you might see a general snappiness improvement. Heavy compute tasks will be a give and take with modern PC hardware, but Apple is still the king of efficiency.

I still use an M1 MB Air for work mostly docked... the machine is insane for what it can still do, it sips power and has a perfect stability track record for me. I also have a Halo Strix machine that is the first machine that I can run linux and feel like I'm getting a "mac like" experience with virtually no compromises.

He was also a shill for Microsoft back when they were trying to destroy Linux.

I’ve moved to rust for some select projects and it’s actually been a bit easier… I converted an electron app to rust/tauri… perf improvement was massive and development was quicker. I’m rethinking the stacks I should be focused on.

Completely disagree. It’s like telling typists that they need to hand write to truly understand their craft. Syntax is just a way of communicating a concept to the machine. We now have a new (and admitidly imperfect) way of doing that. New skills are going to be required. Computer science is going to have to adapt.

I have been running dangerously, but I always make sure to start a new session, have claude read the docs (I have already generated) related to the project in question, and then scope the work to just those things in the current sandbox. It can technically go outside of the sandbox in this mode, but I've never had it happen.

IMO, if you are not running in the dangerous mode then you are really missing out on one of the best aspects of claude code- its ability to iterate. If you have to confirm each iteration then it's just not practical.

I have been primarily in the tiling window manager space for the past 5 years… that said I’ve been driving Cosmic on my NixOS workstation and I’m really impressed… it looks great, is simple, performs well and does tiling quite well. It’s not going to take me away from Niri, but it’s my goto suggestion now for any one getting into Linux.

Am I the only one that uses ohmyposh with fish? I have a killer custom posh theme that I’ve been using for years and the performance is fantastic.

I just had my iphone 12 mini battery replaced. This thing performs as well as the day I bought it. It will be a sad day when I have to "upgrade".

Youtubers and tech sites get devices for free, play with them for a week and give rave reviews. The rest of us have to live with the device for years worth of wear and tear. What could possibly go wrong with bendy screens?
