I have a framework and love it - repair-ability is exceptionally important to me, and I support it as often as I can.

That being said, I have a really specific use-case I have to fill right now: I travel all the time for work, and my work laptop already takes up a good amount of space, so I need something small and easy to use when I travel

What options do you see available on the market today that meet those needs? I agree that all of those are super nice to have

What features do matter to you?

If your job can be done with AI, why should your employer still pay you? Let us know what the title is so we can work to outmode your career

Nothing AI can do replaces the important part of my work.

or the common sense to not store absolutely everything they own with one giant megacorp

This is, I believe, the definition of a free market choice

Reads like AI slop and the name makes me want to take a shower

How is Starlink flying too high? Their orbital decay is something like 5 years right?

Fortunately we have ample local alternatives in Seattle to pick from

Paradox of tolerance

my solution is to buy a basic kindle with wifi and use that to download the books, then transfer them to calibre directly from the kindle

You offer more and better training for everyone. It's not the job of the organization itself to enable their success - just offer a fair test. Others, like the organization mentioned in this article, can and should focus on specific constituent representation. However, the goal of getting more of a specific group into an organization is NOT more important than the safety and efficacy of the organization.

more isnt the problem. or its not the first problem.

>predictions suggested only 3% of black applicants would pass.

Thats not '3% of the applicants are black'. It's '3% of black applicants pass the test'

Starting there alone would yield meaningful results - at the end of the day, you gotta pass the test. Changing the test so more people pass is illogical and dangerous.

By helping to make them qualified to pass the tests.

This is a great read - thanks for sharing. This provides valuable context to this whole situation that I was wholly unaware of.

Yes.

Fascinating perspective, thanks!

I own an Analogue Pocket, which is an FPGA system for the gameboy color (and more). I have found that by forcing myself to just play the inserted cartridge instead of games loaded on the the memory card, I have a high attention span for the game and can play for longer periods.

>Unless you are saying that there is a shadowy secret organization that controls the world with space lasers and UAPs

Would that not be a government by definition?

I was testing this yesterday - excellent extension and update from the Obsidian team, this has really upped by personal knowledge base, and made it so I have a much easier time referencing and archiving source material.

I had nearly the opposite experience, getting a jacket of over 20 years replaced after I brought it in. You should go back and try again.

if you pay, both the author and the consumer are taken advantage of. If you don't, its only the author.

yeah just dont turn on the wifi, you can even update the kindle via usb to get some new features if you like.

is your wifi on when you add your calibre books? if so, thats why.

not so - they will fight you on the ad removal most of the time

megacorp set an arbitrary price for this, and you think the consumer is at fault?

I can confirm that the new versions have to be placed in a child mode in order to hide the ads. It seems they have closed this admittedly nice loophole
