davidandgoliathon reMarkable Connect subscription plans

Wild. Mine has only proved so useful, but I definitely won't be upgrading to future ones with these changes.

davidandgoliathon The brain processes speech in parallel with other sounds

Not a doctor, but you can take audio/visual processing tests to get a better idea of what's going on. I took one during a barrage of ADHD related tests, it was interesting to say the least.

It could very much have an anxiety or ADHD element to it.

davidandgoliathon A bit of math around Cloudflare's R2 pricing model

They already are very much a hosting co.

davidandgoliathon I bricked then recovered my reMarkable 2

Me too! I thought it'd be a paperweight, but I immensely enjoy it. It's esp. nice if you throw a custom calendar on it (via reCalendar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys2fNQu0v0o&feature=youtu.be)

davidandgoliathon Ask HN: Do you use a Linux-first laptop? (System76, Librem, Dell XPS Dev Ed)

Historically wielded a Dell XPS that came with Ubuntu. Installation died on first boot from the factory, despite this being several generations in.

I switched though: Lenovo carbon beats the socks off of the XPS in every regard.

davidandgoliathon Tell HN: Stripe shut down my 4-year business with no explanation

davidandgoliathon A good livestreaming setup is a well-tailored suit

davidandgoliathon Delaying a Covid vaccine’s second dose boosts immune response

Anecdotal, yes: I've never had allergies before (at least not ones I acknowledged) and now that I'm fully vaccinated, I've got crazy responses. Interesting nonetheless.

davidandgoliathon Kenyan recycles plastic waste into bricks stronger than concrete

Isn't that interesting? Not to sound preachy, but did anyone have the "wait isn't this bad for the environment" > reaction to any of the other stories on HN today? Starlink? That new Samsung fab plant? Shit, there's an ad on the front page right now for a gourmet dinner delivery startup. What is it about this one that brings out HN's inner environmentalist?

Thanks for bringing this up: Honestly, that thought has never crossed my mind when thinking about these initiatives. Much appreciated: You've changed the way I think.

davidandgoliathon Eight Years at Roblox

All kids are different, but our youngest (of four) started playing roblox at 2.5 — we have no idea how/why. Interactive stuff seems to keep them attentive longer, and most importantly: Engaged & thinking.

Now the house sounds like a perpetual LAN party.

Same, well, that and the content is wonderful.

Lame or not, I'd do it @ 28 & single :p

davidandgoliathon I deleted my Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram accounts, and felt great since

Felt great, yet still needs to post publicly on 3rd party sites to attract attention: Sure thing.

davidandgoliathon What is Electricity? (1996)

What a great site, thanks for the link. I've sent every article on it to my kindle & now I've got some good bath time reading! :)

davidandgoliathon Do you think the new Dell XPS (2020) could be a MacBook Pro killer?

No, but any and all of the Lenovo x1 carbons are. Try them with the latest fedora live media.

Try booting fedora's installer and see if the trackpad is smoother.

You might want to give the latest fedora a try, we've got the same model and it's flawless for me.

davidandgoliathon Linux touchpad like a MacBook Pro, May 2020 update

Fwiw, the latest fedora manages to make the carbon's trackpad feel as good as a macbook: Might be worth trying it out.
