Last mile connectivity is my issue as well! I live near a VTA light rail stop but taking that almost doubles my trip time to SF.

Awesome! I was going to build something like this for myself for connecting peripherals behind a KVM.

I gotta test how this works with the Magic Trackpad. IIUC Magic Trackpad does something non standard to achieve smooth scroll.

iPad mini, which has an a15 bionic, has usb c at 5 gbps. I wonder if that’s a separate usb controller?

Yeah, this is about the same size as a non-mini iPhone. I dread the day that my iPhone 13 mini stops working.

FWIW, it is not an Intel thing. I got an Asus G14 2021 which has nothing Intel (Amd CPU and nvidia GPU) and this does not support S3, only the modern "connected standby" crap.

Talk about ruining a perfectly working solution for almost no gain.

Thank you for this! `pip install pss` is one of the first things I do on a new computer :)

I generally add custom application shortcuts to XFCE's keyboard preferences instead of i3's config and change i3's $mod to the Alt key. Haven't had any problems of conflicting shortcuts.

I do this with XFCE and it works really well. You just have to prevent xfce-panel and xfwm from starting up and autostart i3 instead. Replacing i3 with xfwm on the fly also works like a charm, I can toggle between tiling and floating WM's using keyboard shortcuts.

Do you have any plans to bring out the digital edition in .mobi or .epub, for e-readers?
