All I really want my TV to do is turn on, quickly and reliably, and display whatever is plugged into HDMI1. The market is flooded with “Smart” (actually Surveillance) TVs so not buying one isn’t really practical.

I moved my team from GitHub Actions to RWX and I can't even express how much better it has been. It’s literally 10 times faster, qualitatively different.

This is great. Alexis King actually stated that, had she known how popular “Parse, Don’t Validate” had been, she would have written it in a language more widely used than Haskell.

I observed the same thing happening when we transitioned from analog land line telephones to everyone having mobile phones. The plain old telephone was crispy clean, and cellphone calls by comparison were just barely intelligible. It's so bad that I'm honestly surprised that texting didn't take over sooner. It wasn't until Apple FaceTime Audio that calls started to sound good again, and it still isn't the default.

This doesn't seem like a niche that isn't filled. Am I missing out on something by still just using iTerm2 and tmux?

Is laser printing more feasible? I've had the same Brother black & white laser for almost a decade and it's more than adequate for everything I do. If I ever need color, I send it off to a service that has much nicer printers than most people would ever want in their homes.

> If you encountered a cheetah in pre-industrial times (and survived the meeting), you might think it was impossible for anything to go faster.

Fun fact, there is no historical evidence of an adult human ever dying from a cheetah attack. They are naturally shy, and a lot smaller than you may realize.
