Hey, that’s the combination on my luggage!

There’s a lot of “X1 Carbon 6th” listed here.

Think about it this way: in the unlikely event that your parking brake fails while you’re parked, which direction is gravity going to make the car roll? Park in the gear that opposes that roll. So if you’re facing up an incline, park in first gear. If you’re facing down, park in reverse. If you’re on an absolutely flat surface, park in whichever you want.

By the way, this isn’t just a good idea for hills, but for uneven driveways or parking lots.

And the rest of the body.

Reality Bites.

From 1913 Webster’s, to show how “far” we’ve come:

Pun"dit (?), n. [Hind. pandit, Skr. pandita a learned man.] A learned man; a teacher; esp., a Brahman versed in the Sanskrit language, and in the science, laws, and religion of the Hindoos; in Cashmere, any clerk or native official. [Written also pandit.] [India]

I think you’re supposed to tell us.

Possibly my light/dark mode scripts. They change my Plasma theme, which is honestly most of the job, but also set the matching GTK theme, set the new theme in running Konsole sessions, do a bunch of manual sed edits on conf files for applications that don’t follow system theming, finally restarting plasmashell to clean up the occasional edge case where a tray icon is supposed to follow the theme but doesn’t.

FreshTomato still supports these devices.

The post was about being asked to disable background blurring specifically.

It’s not for everyone, but if “collection of perl scripts” sounds like your jam, GnuPod still works for a CLI option.

My only controversial opinion is that one must always avoid “/s” indicators, as those are an instant killer of comedy. If an occasional unit of sarcasm flies over the head of another, drawing downvotes and/or unhappiness, it’s a price we must endure as a society.

Sorry, I couldn’t vote for you. You double-space after periods!

When I first saw sudo I assumed it was pronounced “pseudo” because it lets you fake like you’re doing stuff as another user. So that has stuck for me. (And despite all evidence, I still low-key believe it’s a clever pun encompassing both that and the official “superuser do.”)

The current best color eink tech (Kaleido 3) has a handful of limitations, but the big one is how the screen is naturally darker than conventional eink devices you may be familiar with. High contrast and natural light readability are usually the best things about eink, but the darkness of Kaleido 3 screens, caused by the dual layers (one for black pixels, one for color), makes backlighting necessary in a lot more lighting situations, whereas you could probably read a conventional eink device by candlelight, just as you could with a book.

All these devices have backlights because they need them, but by turning it on you lose most of the benefits of having eink in the first place. At that point it’s like using a standard tablet, except the color depth is only 4096, so imagine the worst tablet screen you’ve ever seen… and this just looks far worse.

Color eink tablet. The technology is impressive, but really not ready yet. I’d stick with b&w eink, or if you really need color, just go with a conventional tablet.

I’m certainly not disagreeing with you, but let’s not overlook how protecting your skin from sun exposure can help as the years pile on.

The real armies are the limbs we’ve numbed along the way.
