Well me and my wife both have Kobo and I’m very impressed with the build quality and battery usage. You could definitely do sudoku on the Libra, although at 350 plus stylus makes 410 it’s a bit more expensive than the Clara, but you can’t do puzzles on that.

Depending on your needs, you can get a very basic e-ink reader for not that much.

My e-reader, the Kobo Libra Color, has an e-ink color display, stylus capabilities (I’ve been doing crossword puzzles on it), WiFi so you can download books straight from the store as well as Dropbox/Google Drive integration if you store downloaded books there. It also supports Adobe DRM which Kindles don’t.

But my mom has the Boox Note 4C which runs a full version of Android. Since it’s e-ink, don’t expect it to play video or games at all. But for productivity, they’re pretty good. Similarly you can get the reMarkable which is like a large e-ink tablet.

As far as obsolescence goes, you can’t go wrong with an e-reader. It uses very little battery, so wear is minimal. The build is not too complex and usually quite sturdy. You might have to rely on WiFi 4 or 5 but that is no issue for the foreseeable future.

The only thing is new e-book formats. Pdf is very basic and is not subject to change, but epub, the more interactive e-book format is currently on v3. It’s basically just an extension of HTML, xHTML to be precise, so it’s unlikely version 4 won’t open on older readers. But considering the capabilities of v3 I won’t expect v4 to be coming any time soon.

Love Don McLean’s music. My favorite song is probably The Pride Parade. Magdalene Lane is also a great one

Hmm you are from Aussie Zone and are going through quite a bit of trouble to discredit this. This must mean it originated in Australia.

We saw P2 might be the place to start from in the sprint if you can get away quicker than pole. Max is not gonna give it away as easily as Andrea did though.

Green shit on your terrace, leaves fucking everywhere, looming threat of bird shit on your head, seeds everywhere, roots growing through everything, blocking the sun at every step, tough lessons in gravity for things kids climbing them, lot of damage when it’s stormy out.

But nah trees are great, really.

Edit: apparently I need to clarify that I really do love nature more than the concrete jungle, but there are things you can find that are not that great about trees.

Read a book

Yeah they did. But at this point Half Life 3 has a mythical status they will never be able to measure up to.

Considering every Half Life showcased Valve’s new tech in the Freeman narrative, one could argue Alyx was our Half Life 3. It had everything: the signature storyline, new gameplay, new tech. What more are we expecting from Half Life 3?

Yeah it’ll probably work differently so Ruben will have to completely refactor it. Seems like a hassle.

Hmm interesting. I did not know that

I think that’s a reddit feature.

If it’s dirt cheap, either the quality is lacking or the secret ingredient is forced labour. Temu and Shein don’t shy away from either.

But yeah classic leopards ate my face moment

It’s called AI vs Arjen but it’s not always about lying. The first one was taking a picture, the second one was lying and the third one was creating a recipe from ingredients in a fridge.

There is a Dutch talkshow host who takes on AI in some tasks every now and then and he matched up with ChatGPT to see who was a better lier. They tried to convince one half of a twin that the Eiffel Tower was made of a sort of Dutch spiced cake.

Containerized software. The main advantage of this is that every application, or stack of applications, runs in its own ecosystem. You can restart a container whenever without having to reboot your entire system. You can store all data off a container in a volume, so if you hit a snag, you can recreate the container without actually losing any of your configs.

You can also create networks so that apps run in different subnets than other apps.

Very simply put, a docker container is like a mini system that runs on your main system.

Something else I like about docker is docker compose. You can create a container or stack of containers with a single simple YAML file without actually having to install anything yourself. I manage my containers in Portainer.

It’s time for the democrats to take up arms then. It’ll probably start a civil war again.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

In the Netherlands, if you don’t have a will, it all goes to the spouse.
