Also, I thought I heard "commercial" TVs are dumb TVs. Although, I haven't heard much about those.

How would you set the bar pretty high? How would you avoid just evaluating ChatGPT, instead of the actual student?
On the other hand, kids do blindly use the hell out of ChatGPT. It's a hard call: teach to the cheaters or teach to the good kids?
I've landed on making take-home assignments worth little and making exams worth most of their grade. I'm considering making homework worth nothing and having their grade be only 2 in-class exams. Hopefully that removes the incentive to cheat. If you don't do homework, then you don't get practice, and you fail the two exams.
(Even with homework worth little, I still get copy-pasted ChatGPT answers on homework by some students... the ones that did poorly on the exams...)
But, seriously, I've tried launchers, leechblock, and other software solutions. For me, they don't work long term because I end up just reverting and unblocking. I always have some justification in my head as to why I need to reinstall Discord or browse YouTube and then it's over.
For me, I've had much better luck with a device where those types of slips are impossible. Mostly... although sometimes I really do need a smartphone to scan a QR code or to pay a foodtruck with Venmo.
The Jelly Star seems to be the best compromise for me so far. It's still a smartphone, but the screen is so small that it's a lot harder to be on it for hours.
This seems right up my alley. Although, $800 seems steep.
The new Supernote A5X2 is due this year... at probably half the price? Granted it doesn't have the 60fps display, but it definitely has a bunch of other features. Is the 60fps worth $400 more?
Last time I was in a mall in Mexico City, I asked a guy behind the counter of some store if they had any watches that had either the months or days of week in Spanish... surprisingly, the answer was no. English only.

Although, Tangara looks quite a bit bulkier than the Nano.
I'm working on a todo app called Tasket. The goal of Tasket is to provide an unopinionated way to create and manage todos.
We work towards this goal by allowing users to:
1. create any task attributes they want, for example, status, priority level, schedule date, deadline—or nothing if they want to keep it simple
2. custom app actions, for example, a user can tap on a todo and move it to a different section—or they can tap on a todo and open a web browser, a phone dialer, prepare an SMS—with more interactions on the way
I started working on this because I found some todo apps, like Todoist, too limiting, but other apps, like Omnifocus, too complex. I believe Tasket can strike a better balance between easy to use and powerful.
The reason I believe a better balance is needed is to fight against task bankruptcy, where our todo list ends up overwhelming us.
A lot of us don't have trouble understanding 1,000 millimeters equals 1 meter.
Same here: 1,000 millidays equals 1 day.
Hope Tangara is better!
It's a shame for Linux users that they decided to pick a display type that has had known issues for like a decade.

If I delete a "last_name" column, apply the migration, and then decide I shouldn't have deleted users' last names. Do I get that data back?
A lot of times the results are better on Kagi than Google, but not by much. It makes sense they're similar since Kagi uses Google's index (among others).
My guy. Are you being held hostage by your employer? Blink twice for yes.
I had most of those things with a bachelors straight out of college, working for a dinky startup. A six figure salary is basically minimum wage for software engineers in the Bay.
If you're making less than six figures, your employer is exploiting you. I hope you find a better job.
(I wish 1Password let you order credentials by "last used". This way I could start deleting from the oldest last used accounts.)
I wish I had less accounts because each account means some random website holding my data hostage. It's too common that a website doesn't allow you to delete an account. Sometimes you can find a support email and request a deletion. Other times, all I can do is try to replace my data with junk data. Although, even that isn't possible sometimes!
(Rocketbook won't let you change your email, for example. Or ChatGPT saves your phone number after you delete your account.)
I definitely have some Google accounts from like 10 years ago that I lost access to. I'm glad to know they'll be deleted.
That being said, 2 years does seem a little short.
But, I do like the idea of my data expiring. It seems creepy as hell that someone could go back 10 years and dig up a bunch of information about you that you forgot existed: blog posts, comments, photos, videos, emails, home addresses, phone numbers, credit cards.
Data breaches happen. Data brokers find your stuff. Stalkers exist.
