I've always assumed that undo history is ephemeral in any application I use, other than maybe an application where history is first-class in a timeline like Fusion360. I'm surprised to hear that people rely on it being persistent.

Does this move the needle on affordability or insurance coverage for these drugs? $500/month for Tirzepatide is not something most people can afford.

edit: I see significantly lower pricing than e.g. LilyDirect. Does this work with HSA/FSA reimbursement, too?

Sidebar, PowerAmp is the app I miss most moving from Android to iOS. Nothing on iOS comes close, Doppler is the closest I've found and it's just OK.

The whole point seems to be how to get the most out of today's tooling without "glue getting in your pizza". It's a little flag-wavy (probably because of the author's company) but overall seemed like a pretty candid peek into how it's being used. Did you have a specific critique?

My takeaway is that Garmin could probably stand to put a layer on top of this to stop it being embarassingly accessible while continuing to keep the data in open user-readable standards. This could be as simple as "(optionally, default do) prompt for a PIN on the device when mass storage / MTP is requested".

I don't find Apple's watch offering compelling, but I can appreciate that it won't just dump all your data e.g. at a customs checkpoint.

The title doesn't feel accurate: per the article the watches don't actively leak your personal data (e.g. via issues in the Garmin Connect platform), but instead the data they generate is totally readable at rest via USB.

Any recommendations on getting started here? I'm also early in my career, but dumping almost the entirety of my salary into a plain old savings account.

I daily an Android phone and use Macs exclusively for personal and productivity use, with some Linux machines for personal play as well.

If you start to really 'obsess about the details' -- and this'll mean different things to different people -- you'll start to run into the walls that Apple puts up. It's a very one-sided "my way or the highway" dynamic. It's easier to work around on their laptops, but impossible (or at least unreasonably impractical) on their phones. For context I gave iOS a shake twice, once with the XR and once with the 13 mini.

I've always felt that iOS is the platform you go with for:

- unparalleled high-quality integration with the Apple ecosystem

- a very strongly (and unavoidably) opinionated experience (where the opinions are usually more-or-less correct)

You're setting up a straw man for yourself to knock down; the points they're making are more nuanced than just 'think of the children' and you're being excessively reductive when you frame it that way.

I ordered the module without vPro, so I don't believe that should be the case.

I've heard a ~3% drain rate per hour and that about lines up with what I'm seeing... i.e. if I'm working on one of my hobby projects and want to shelve things with all the same context I can't just "close the laptop" and come back to things a few days later without juggling the laptop on a charger at some point.

I've been using mine (min-spec 1135 DIY) for ~4 days on Sway+Manjaro; the hardware feels really good and for all the considerations made towards repairability, it feels like a no-compromises premium piece of hardware. It was nice to be able to take hardware that I have laying around (i.e. SSD and RAM) and put it to use.

The biggest disappointment so far is directly related to the processor offering:

- It feels like it warms up pretty quickly doing small things and starts spinning up the fan

- s2 ("deep") sleep works out-of-the-box but drains battery way faster than I'd like

Some of this kind of stuff may be related to the modularity of the laptop (e.g. bigger power draw of the less power-efficient non-soldered components), but I think a lot of the blame lies with Intel's offerings & hopefully things take a turn in this space for the better. I'd love to see e.g. an M1-style ARM offering from someone that runs linux and is offered in a package like Framework's.

The trackpad is probably pretty good for a 'windows laptop', but just doesn't feel as good as the one on even my 2015 Macbook (and I don't think it fundamentally can be as good with a physical 'pivot-based' click approach compared to the simulated haptic approach on the Mac). It really does feel like a compromise on usability when you see how good the basics can be on e.g. the new Macs. I don't think it's Framework's fault and the ecosystem here just needs to improve.

Based on what I've seen so far, I think this really is a game-changer for people who want a first-class linux-compatible laptop with less compromises (both 'ethically' and from a hardware perspective), and I'm really looking forward to how Framework continues to improve the offering and innovate in this space.

I'm giving it a try as a daily driver for a few weeks. I need a linux laptop for some of my hobbies and the Framework still feels like the best choice for me (including some of the Thinkpads I was looking at... hard pass on the 16:9 offerings, the 3:2 on the Framework is really nice), but I think it'll be hard to swap off of the Mac for the day-to-day usability "basics".

Is this rate of inflation computed anywhere? I'm curious what the actual figure is and how income has been diluted over the course of ongoing events.
