Looks great 😎 Perhaps you can add a safety pin in case the cable breaks?

Could link to your reasoning and/or summarise it here? Thanks.

Concept of the bag on the left, bag on the right.

I’d also like more pictures of the bag. 😁

Totally switch to a terminal first like you suggested and see if you can work your way from there. My suggestion goes after yours. Always try to fix the running system first.

It’s probably wise to check man pages and other introductory documentation for most system administration tasks. Even though they’re super low-level, they are in my opinion better to send than just pulling the power plug.

Even with a frozen system you can often still ensure data is written to inspect on the next boot. You may have a key labeled SysRq which likely needs an Alt modifier to trigger.

Alt+Shift+SysRq+s to sync data to disk. Alt+Shift+SysRq+u to unmount the disks. Alt+Shift+SysRq+b to reboot the system.

Execute them in that order.

This can help ensure the data about the mishap is written to disk so it can be inspected after the forced reboot. I also check the logs in /var/log but I suppose all of those are in journalctl too these days.

Oh you will suffer in the best way possible. You like the Slimbook now but in five years something will degrade, like the battery. You’ll think about getting a new one and you’ll look forward to it but nooo, you will not get a new one. You will look online and there will be parts available and you’ll repair it. Then you’ll need more disk space or ram so you’re hoping to get a new one but nooo, you will upgrade it. And then something will break and you finally see the part is not in stock so you mail them just in case but instead of an automated reply you’ll get a real response and they’ll get you the part you need. Sure, replacing a glued keyboard is a bit exciting but turns out a lot can be replaced. Not sure how old mine is but I like it, it just keeps running.

The camera is heated so that should not be the biggest problem. I don’t think they have the software to make it work.

I have not had obstacle detection work on the other modules aside from a person being nearby being detected. With that feature you will not see it working from close by, but it will destroy children’s toys, drive over poop, destroy its own antennas by driving under tables, drive against tractors, …

It could be capable one day but not with this software (team).

This company overpromises and underdelivers as if it’s a Chinese competition to do so.

Really depends on what is considered nice about MacOS. Just had a new on-boarding with someone who really liked their Mac keybindings and it seems getting those dialed in is nicer (easier? better?) on KDE. I’d also generally gravitate towards Gnome for Mac users though.

As a piece of advice for OP: Accept the use of keybindings over the touchpad. Mac has done a great job and I have not seen a Linux laptop/distro combination that nails it. Search for the pain-points after switching and ask about it (kindly) on a community like this.

There is a distinction between an app and a site. An application has many partial state updates. Two updates is uncommon for an app. Way different for a website where people ideally land on the right page from a search engine. There is a place for an SPA but it’s not everything.

We tend to stick with an SPA even for things which are mainly reads because we’re more efficient in a single tech stack. Sadly we don’t have big tech budgets to do everything. In theory the JS SPA backend can simply run in the backend if there’s no need for an SPA. I had thought hydration and caching to have gotten way better by now but there’s still a good way to go.

Draw in 2D to create 3D walls. Position windows, doors and others in 3D. Some features like the roof or stairs have their own modules.

You can always fall back to one of the other many workbenches should you need something not part of a typical home (weird stairs, a detailed cupboard, …).

I could not find documentation easily in the past but it likely exists. For a video introduction the FCBLounge channel (YouTube) provides great visual tutorials.

I’ve documented part of our home in this to ideate remodeling. It can be used for pipework but I did not try that yet.

Having experimented with this a lot, I’d say it depends :P

Keyboard only you can get by with 5fps or so, but there’s no real feedback at that point.

15fps is ok and quite usable. Artifacts are the more annoying thing at that rate. 30fps is really more then necessary (though I agree higher is nice on lcd displays).

What bothered me most is the limited contrast, pixel density and limited amount of colors on color eink display.

Lexend Deca from https://www.lexend.com/ because it’s the only font I could find which was studied during it’s creation for being more readable for many people.

Framework makes it their point but also charges for it. Some big make laptops also allow to upgrade parts.

But lets not forget Linux specific laptops. They generally allow upgrading ram and storage. Slimbook even sold me a newer (but also new) keyboard when mine gave up after 5 years or so. Most parts seem to be available still.

Some brands to look for in this group are Tuxedo, bto, slimbook, starbook. Clevo might work too.

You could provide a (separate) email address for that and hope spam detection is good enough. You can use <a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Direct mail message from PAGE">mail me</a> to have them open their mail client. It is wise to provide the address visually too and you might ask them to include something in the subject so you can filter out mailing list spam easily.

I agree to that extent, but I don’t think people will be deterred by it unless it’s not allowed by law.

A car from the early '90s is still driven unless it becomes too expensive for the comfort it provides but safety does not seem to be a consideration for many at this price-point (and I guess at other price points too). Modern regular cars are far more safe than what was typical in the '90s and trucks are far less safe than regular modern cars, yet they’re on the road.

As such, I think people people will keep using it, downplaying the risk involved. Many don’t treat cars as a boring means of transportation but rather as a desirable object. Us humans don’t act very logical when we want something.

Yes? People use driver aids today without warranty and many cars are on the road past their warranty.

Perhaps there could be a high insurance premium if the system seems insufficient, yet that might not stop people either. People are lazy and not very logical.

It’s the same for my old QQS-pro though. Even after some mods, it still just works. Upgrades are clear but not necessary.

The inlet does nothing, so we just need to measure atmospheric pressure. XD

jank is a general-purpose programming language which embraces the interactive, value-oriented nature of Clojure as well as the desire for native compilation and minimal runtimes. jank is strongly compatible with Clojure and considers itself a dialect of Clojure.

Looks like they wanted Clojure to have a smaller runtime.
