igniusson The Chuwi MiniBook X N150, One Year Later

They have just announced a new one, with a u300, very curious about its performance and battery life

The ones I've been able to source easily are Phenol-Free, which used to be a pain to find before the eu ban, those are (I think) bpa and bps free at least. I'll need to double check to be certain though, I haven't considered them replacing BPA woth BPS, that definitely makes it a false sense of safety

It's been regulated since 2020 in Europe at least.

> As part of the EU’s REACH Regulation Annex XVII, a restriction banning Bisphenol A (BPA) content in thermal paper above 0.02% by weight came into effect on January 2, 2020. This prohibition was implemented due to health concerns associated with BPA exposure

bpa free thermal paper is pretty easy to source from anywhere now because of this.

Unless you're in Europe.

so unless you're buying old rolls, or from non reputable sources, it shouldn't be an issue in the EU at least.

igniusson Using Microsoft's New CLI Text Editor on Ubuntu

A lot of eu keyboard layouts use right alt as alt-gr for special characters. Because of that right control gets a lot of usage since you're using right alt constantly anyways.

Super neat! I made something similar with tldraw for presentations at my company, definitely not as clean as this! I'll be sure to give it a try for my next one

igniusson Ask HN: Is there any software you only made for your own use but nobody else?

A framework to make presentations in svelte and markdown files, exports to a static website on GitHub, used it for roughly 12 presentations so far, a lot of them programming focused. I tried a bunch of different ones but none that made it painless enough.

Also a bunch of Obsidian plugins, to have nicer macros and templating.

igniusson Ask HN: What was an interesting project you started and finished over a weekend?

I was messing around with friends on Discord around 4 years ago during lockdown, and it hit me you could write a minesweeper message using discord spoiler tags, so I whipped something up in an hour or two and hosting it on github pages, shared it on a couple of servers I was in, and it's still getting traffic regularly

It was fun streaming the work to friends who aren't in the IT sphere, some are now studying to get in the industry
