  • Swipe in my experience does need work. I’m glad they’re doing this.

    GBoard, before I switched, was like 95% accurate. I could trust it for blind typing. Heliboard with the google library is maybe 70% accurate and frustrating. “typing” in that last sentence was first “topping” the second “ripping” before I tapped it out.

    To this day nobody is as good as Swype was. RIP.


  • I’m waiting for Tuesday. Their editor said they’re looking into the suspect AI written article but due to the long weekend are asking for patience.

    Which, honestly, I find unacceptable. To let something that has the possibility of trashing their reputation to fester for 3 days while their audience has idle time to speculate and spread the issue is just irresponsible. Surely such a risk deserves priority treatment. They’re not new at this. I’m doubly disappointed.




  • The models with the oval bottom just have that cap pressed into the end with two small clips on the long side of the oval. Deforming the oval into a circle and using a small flat blade screwdriver to pry it out is usually all it takes.

    I’ve successfully desoldered the battery for recharging before. We had one go so completely flat the wireless charging wouldn’t work. Putting the battery in an external charger brought it back to life. It was in service for another couple years till a drop in the brush end ruined it.







  • “The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism,” Moran wrote in his since-deleted post. “Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that’s not what’s interesting about Miller. It’s not brains. It’s bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He’s a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate. Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his his own glorification. That’s his spiritual nourishment.”
