kk6mrp | 1 year ago | on: Forget Gladwell
Despite being recommended Malcolm Gladwell's books by good friends with whom I enjoy having deep conversation; I, for the life of me can't stand reading these books. Does anyone else feel this way?
I read this a while back and it resonates with my feeling as I read, but I still can't put my finger on what it is that I dislike: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/09/when-malco...

I set a minimum price and select for sale by owner and it usually filters all the dealers out.

For me, any carrier I switch to is more expensive than my current one. So, I've been waiting for them to add the ability to change APN settings for a couple years now as my light phone sits in the box...
kk6mrp | 1 year ago | on: The Light Phone 3 is a little less light – but a lot more useful
The black and white OLED display will be nice! The refresh rates seemed pretty aggressive compared to other E Ink devices I have used. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to use the one I have as they haven't implemented the ability to change APN settings.

You're forgetting that it had GPS!

Or it has been trained to respond with this prompt when asked and not the official one?
kk6mrp | 2 years ago | on: Automakers are starting to admit that drivers hate touchscreens
Why is nobody putting E-Ink displays in cars? I don't particularly mind the touchscreen aspect, but the screens are way too bright for driving.

> "Introversion is the state of primarily obtaining gratification from one's own mental life". There is a considerable popular literature on the benefits and drawbacks of being introverted.
This really got me thinking after recently coming across it:
"The mind is a fire to be kindled, not a vessel to be filled." ~ Plutarch
kk6mrp | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: What books do you recommend for coming up to speed on geopolitics?
The Absent Superpower et all by Peter Zeihan. Not sure how much I agree with, but he seems to have a good handle on the topic.

kk6mrp | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell
This is awesome! I'm certainly going to be taking a look. I've been reading from C.S. Lewis's letters recently and found a lot of value, so it is especially nice to read this!

In a world where a phone line was shared between multiple homes, knowing your neighbor may not only be listening, but also recording, has the potential to be much more worrisome.
