Crypto is a Scam – Number Go Up by Zeke Faux
by
Years ago I remember being interested in Bitcoin, simply because it was new interesting tech. I even mined a few dozen of them back when it was possible to do that with an underpowered second hand computer you were willing to leave on for a few days. For the last 5+ years though crypto has…
Notebooks Come and Go
by
Greg shared his on again off again notebook habit. There’s something about writing by hand that feels right to me, even though it’s slower than typing, and you can’t just hit ‘search’ to find something you wrote. But for some reason, I just stopped using my notebook for a few months. It’s like it went…
Noah Herman – Back to the iPad Pro
by
Much like Noah above, I’ve been using my iPad much more again for getting things done. Just 3 months ago I was using my iPad so little that I was contemplating taking it off my 2nd desk and downsizing from a 12.9” iPad Pro to a Mini. An iPad Mini is far more portable and…
I Also Just Want my Music
by
Jeff walks us through how it’s $3000 to get some kids music. As he says this is further enshitification of content. Yes I pay for YouTube Premium, and Apple Music, and I buy the movies I want to add to my own library. I continue to think that maybe I need to go back to…
Yes Someone has Written Your Blog Post
by
As my friend Tom writes, someone has written your blog post. But I don’t write because I’m sharing entirely new things, I mostly write and do videos to help cement my knowledge. Much as Tom suggests. Writing for others is important, but it may be just as important if not more important than writing for…
Matt Gemmell an a Second Screen with his iPad
by
Matt writes about using an e-ink screen to scribble on as a secondary screen with his iPadPro as the main device. The main issue he’s trying to solve is wanting to scribble on the iPad while it’s also his main screen for writing. I’ve solved this by having my iPad on a VESA arm on…
Chris Lawley’s 2023 iPad Desk
by
Much like Chris, I’ve been using my iPad more again with the changes in iPadOS 17. My biggest problem was Obsidian being slow for a while, but after some testing Obsidian is no longer slow on my iPad.
Disable Super P in Gnome 45 to Stop Resetting Your Monitors
by
Since I’ve moved my control keys to the home row I’ve had an issue where I hold a key too long and accidentally reset all my monitors. That leaves me with a system that is unusable until I head back to settings and reorganize my screens. After some research today, the keyboard command was Super…
The Only Useful LLM Feature I’ve Seen
by
Casey Newton talked about how Notion Ai (it’s really LLM and calling it Ai feeds into the hype) will look at your data and let you extract content from it. So far this is the only thing in the current LLM/Ai hype-cycle that I’ve found compelling. I’d love to ask some questions about my notes…
With Manifest V3 Coming to Chrome I’m Going Full Firefox
by
Manifest V3 is coming to Chrome which means that ad blockers like UBlock Origin and Privacy Badger will stop working or be greatly reduced in functionality. This is good for Google as it continues to try and race blocking technologies with it’s tracker technologies, with V3 it loaded the deck so that it’s no longer…
