i spent more than year with ergo split keyboards, home row mods, layers, etc. Mouse + speech-to-text + agents made it irrelevant.

Sleke phone solved my dumbphone needs. I'm very satisified.

you know what's efficient? controlling a computer with one hand rather than two.

When everyone is armed with Mythos-like hacking ability, it's hard for me to imagine people wouldn't make the tradeoff of security over price.

Because the agentic world involves the generation of so much code that gets harder to review, I would think the compile-time guarantees of Rust would make it a better option.

Turning GrayScale mode on also helps.

Would appreciate a good answer to this question. I deal with large medical imaging data (DICOM) and i cannot tell whether it's worth it and/or feasible.

yep. a part of me wants to take advantage of all that org-mode in emacs has to offer. but it's just not critical enough for me to keep it up. maybe if i was a manager...

Really neat work. I have a friend who designs green spaces in urban environments and it makes me wonder what he could do with these kinds of tools/approaches.

I don't understand how this doesn't destroy a company. They willfully ingored a serious risk and it had major national security implications.

In your opinion is it important for ML engineers to know C?

Frankly this is why I have trouble taking all this C advocacy seriously. Do managers really want their engineers using C? I understand how it can be pleasurable in the way that listening to vinyl is pleasureable. But my undersanding is that it takes years and years of experience to not make catastrophic errors in C. And that's a lot of risk.

the OS is slow. the keyboad is laggy and lacking in spatial accuracy to the point where i have to slow myself and retype text messages constantly. don't get me wrong - i'm glad they made it. but i've preorded the Minimal phone and am really looking forward to trying it.

Question: is C gaining in popularity? If so, why exactly? Are their good reasons to be using C in product development rather than more modern languages?

I've been using the light phone 2 off and on for the past year. It's too painful to use.

Because it allows Android apps, might there be some screen sharing utility that would allow it to be used as a 2nd monitor?
